Mexican Soda: Jarritos

On hot summer days I love drinking ice cold drinks. I especially love specialty sodas or colas. One of the most popular brands that I like is Jarritos (little jugs in Spanish), which is a Mexican soda brand. They come in a variety of flavours such as mandarin orange, mango, strawberry, pineapple, tamarind, lime, guava and many more. I have a sweet tooth so I also like that these sodas use real sugar, as opposed to North American sodas that use artificial stuff. Besides the great flavours, what I also think makes them delicious is that they come in old school glass bottles, and depending on your age (usually older); you know soda tastes best in a glass bottle. Pair Jarritos with some tacos, and you have the perfect way to enjoy hot summer days.

Toronto Raptors 2019 NBA Finals Champions Nike Locker Room T-Shirt

After an amazing run, the goal of being crowned NBA Champions has finally happened in Toronto. I’m excited, the city is excited, and the country is excited. Of course now comes the fun part of parties, parades, and wearing Championship merchandise. My first piece of Championship merchandise is this Nike t-shirt; the official Toronto Raptors 2019 NBA Finals Champions t-shirt. It’s a locker room shirt, meaning it’s the same version the team got to wear after beating the Golden State Warriors. All Raptors merchandise is selling like crazy, with long lineups outside stores.

I wanted to post some pictures of this official t-shirt because unfortunately a lot of counterfeit merchandise has also been made throughout the year. This shirt was made in Nicaragua, and comes with two stickers on the side; 1. NBA logo hologram and 2. Nike Official Locker Room. The quality of the shirt is very good with a thick material and the screen printing is nice and clean. My only complaints about the shirt is that it comes in white (which will eventually get dirty), and that the Nike swoosh is screen printed and not embroidered. Other than that, this is an amazing collectable and one that I will be proud to wear for years.

The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening Switch Remake Wish List

I’m super excited for the upcoming Zelda Link’s Awakening game for the Switch that I decided to do a wish list for what I would like to see from this remake. I limited myself to only 5 wishes (though I had many) and in no particular order.

First off I would like Nintendo to bring back physical manuals. I grew up with manuals in games, and they would usually be the first thing I would look at when I needed help with the game (either with controls or when I was lost). They also serve as art pieces that nicely complement a complete in box game. Next I would like to see the return of the gold cartridge. Now that Nintendo is using game cartridges again, it would be nice to make all Zelda cartridges gold just like past classics such as Ocarina of Time, and the original NES games.

Next I would like game cases to come with a reversible cover. The front would display the current game and when you reverse it, it would have the classic golden bronze cover with red Zelda font, and a sword and shield. Next I would like the game to include something I call “retro mode” where you could play the Switch version using a green filter, making your game screen resemble an original Game Boy DMG-01. That would be old school meets new school. And finally I would like Nintendo to release an amiibo of Link.
