I wasn’t impressed by Lucasfilm’s Super Bowl commercial for *The Mandalorian and Grogu*, but the actual trailer released by the studio has my attention. Is there a chance that *The Mandalorian and Grogu* might actually be good? I’m on record as being wildly underwhelmed by the first trailer for the upcoming *Star Wars* movie. ... But this new trailer nudged me a bit toward believing that just maybe *The Mandalorian and Grogu* has something to it.

There are still some major competitions left to go, but I’m not sure anything is going to top the revelation that there’s no rule against a wolfdog competing in a cross-country ski event. (What’s that? He was captured and returned to his owner? Dogs actually aren’t allowed to compete in the Olympics? Oh.) While Nazgul’s doggy dreams were dashed, chocolate fans had their own shot at Olympic and Paralympic glory this past week. If you were extremely lucky, you possibly got your very own Hershey’s Team USA Chocolate Medal Tin.

Yeah, Chicken Bacon Ranch and Taco Bell belong together Ever have one of those days when you wake up and automatically decide that it’s a Taco Bell day? Thursday was one of those days for me. I don’t know what triggers it. Maybe it’s the week being almost over? Maybe it’s because I had a salad for lunch the first three days of the week? ... As I was getting our daughter’s breakfast ready, an email popped into my Snackology inbox. Keep reading ... ](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-taco-bell-chicken-bacon-ranch/)
