Doo Doo Overgrips
Gotta hand it to Bodhi Performance for naming this overgrip color Doodoo. I feel like trying these just because.

How to Hydrate While You Pickle?
It’s starting to get hot, real hot while playing pickleball during the daylight hours. Morning or afternoon, there’s heat, humidity, and the sun rays to contend with, all while trying to hit a 3-in colorful ball drilled with holes.
So I’m going to try this – Grillo’s Pickles Hydration Multiplier from LiquidIV. I have no clue or idea how this is but was lucky enough to buy some of this limited edition flavor. Will the “savory fusion of vinegar, cucumber, dill, and a touch of sweetness” make me pucker on the court? Can’t wait to see if this pickle drink will keep me hydrated as I pickle.
Boomstik or “Boostick?”
A regular came out to play wielding a new paddle that looked familiar… but different. His Boomstik looked more like a Boostik.
Boostik
The MOI weights were MIA
Authentic Selkirk Boomstik
The MOI weights are added on, not painted on.
Visually from across the net, you couldn’t really spot the differences, but side by side, you’ll notice what doesn’t match up with an authentic Selkirk Boomstik.
Boo, Target, Boo!
Not exactly sure when this happened, but apparently Target no longer ships Pokemon cards to Hawaii. If you check the product description like this one, you’ll see this blurb in the Shipping & Returns section.
I vaguely recall several years ago that this shipping embargo happened as well, at least for sports cards. Not sure how long that lasted but eventually Target did start shipping cards to Hawaii again. Hopefully, this is temporary or does Target want to drive more in-store foot traffic?
Either way, boo, Target, boooooo!
It’s Not the Dwell Time
It’s just the mechanics of my shot are bad. I’ve tried similar shots with three different paddles with varying stiffness and dwell time. Each shot was short into the net. So it’s not the paddle’s dwell time that was affecting my shot. My shots were causing the bad shots lol.
Mismatched McD Grinch Socks?
While the McDonald’s Grinch Meal promotion is longer over, this came my way. It’s the popular Grinch socks but they’re in a green bag instead of the typical red bag found in the meals.
Inside the bag are a pair of mismatched socks, one yellow and one blue. I know there are four colors of the socks but believed each color came color matched. But this green bag seems to contain odd color socks – not sure why or when they were available.
Kinda fun although now I have three yellow socks, and I don’t think these socks would last one pickleball outing.
Wait a second… this green bag is not from the US. On the back of the bag, it says “Made for McDonalds UK and ROI” with the size of 39-44.
Finding Waterproof Hokas Are Irritating
I remembered that I had posted this in late December, and it must have been a portent of what’s in store for 2025 .
Bagel & Cream Cheese and Coffee
I didn’t know I needed this. While this combination of bagel and cream cheese with your coffee sounds odd, I know I’ve had a breakfast of a bagel and cream cheese with my morning coffee. So yeah, not so odd after all.
Unfortunately, this coffee creamer isn’t (and won’t be) widely available and is only available via limited, timed releases.
The Pairing Is Complete
I had ordered the Coke Oreo cookies from Walmart during their early release time period but had missed out on the Coke drink. Actually, I think the drink was regionally available, seeing availability in mainland zip codes.
Now the Coke Oreo/Oreo Coke collab is publicly available if you can find them. Luckily, they are both available at Target.
The pairing is now complete…
Where is the Aloha, Oreo?
Okay, I was anticipating this early release because just who knows when these Coke Oreos would be available in Hawaii. To my disappointment, Oreo seemingly has no love of Hawaii, getting this error upon checkout.
Now, I have to watch Target and Walmart in-store and online to get the Oreos and the Coke drinks.
An Unorthodox Hot Wheels Classic
When I first saw this collaboration between Mattel Creations Hot Wheels and MSCHF, I knew I needed one. This “Not Wheels” is such an atypical classic car… that does not roll.
I’m Loading Up on Oreo Coke/Coke Oreos
When this foodie collab launches in early September, I’m going to have to load up on both the Coke-flavored Oreos and the Oreo-flavored Coke. Okay, okay, the colors are a little scary, but you have to admit that combining the flavor profiles of both are intriguing.
This article is a great summary covering all the details about the products, the release, the flavors, and more.
And really, will Sasquatch try these in Hawaii?
