I'm an absolute whore of a human for Mitsubishi 'Uni' Pens. I don't even like writing, but their Jetstream line are cheap and should be the ubiquitous goto pen. Everytime I have to pick up a bic, I die a little inside.

Levis. Cheap pants are never worth it, the 501 is always in style and perfect.

Cheerios. Just the plain toasted oat variety.

For some reason the other brands of toasted oats do not taste right. Other cereal generics are fine.

Most food items, minus vegetables.

Most food. I generally try the generics/store brands but a lot of time they're way worse.
