Chips Ahoy vs Chips Deluxe

Why these two cookies???

Image result for chips ahoy vs chips deluxeIs there a reason why these two cookies are one in another similar and different???


 Yes they are from different companies but they are chocolate chip cookies. Many companies make their own all the time. Entemints, Pepperidge Farm....

   But these two, I have eaten, while the rest I haven't.


How did they start, and why are they popular???



Image result for chips ahoy vs chips deluxeChips Deluxe- Created by the Keebler Company in the sixties. Keebler cookies are considered magical and made in a hollow tree. What I think about Chips Deluxe, they're ok. I've had them before but I prefer their other cookie. A fudge stiped cookie. A cookie covered with fudge on the back, and stripes on the front.

They keep saying that they are better, but if you try other cookies, maybe they aren't. I've had the Fudge Stripes, and they are better than the Chips Deluxe.



Image result for nabisco cookies Chips Ahoy!- A cookie with an exclamation point, yes, but there's something else about it as well. How they taste. They've changed their flavor profile so many times, believe me, it seems their flavor can be good at sometimes, and other times...


   How they started out is with old advertisements of someone called "The Cookie Man" he was a superhero and he would save children with hunger issues or something like that. I don't even remember anymore.


  Image result for chips ahoy commercials The commercials they have now are kind of disturbing. Having cookies look like human beings. It's like those cinnamon toast crunch commercials. Why do they have to make cookies eat themselves? It seems so barbaric.

   They even had a slogan back in the 80's "Betcha bite a chip." I guess it was impossible to bite a cookie without biting a chip.  And now, they keep making the formula different every time. They even had a contest for someone who finds a cookie with no chocolate chips, they would win a million dollars. I don't anyone won that.


    Both cookies are fine. Almost every one is unique, and with these two, they're both similar and different. I prefer Chips Ahoy because I grew up with that cookie the most. Although I like baking the tollhouse ones once in a while.

  All cookies are good, edible, tasty. You name it. But my favorite would always be a chocolate chip cookie.

Top 10 BEST FAMILY GUY EPISODES

                 I've talked about my worst, now I'm talking about the best. Why are these my favorite, and why are they are in the top 10??? Here are my selections and answers (It's all opinion based, so don't get upset if you don't like these episodes.




Image result for To love and die in dixie10. To love and Die in Dixie (3rd Season)- This episode had a lot of controversy. It also could have been the reason why they pulled Family Guy off the air for only a year. Chris fingers a burglar that escapes prison and is after him. We also get the introduction of Herbert (the pervert) who has a crush on Chris. When visiting the South, Meg is popular, Stewie is in a bluegrass band, and Brian and Peter become the town sheriff. The burglar finds Chris after he deals with the fact that he met someone named Sam who is actually a girl. He gets scared, but they do end up being with each other. The burglar finds him, but Chris and Sam are saved by her father, who didn't want them to be together after Peter irked off the play they were in. Bygones be bygones. It's a good episode, not the strongest.


Image result for (Family Guy) A hero sits next door gif 9. A hero sits next door (1st Season)- This is where we are introduced to Joe the paraplegic neighbor. Peter is jealous of all the accomplishments he is getting, even after he invited to his company's baseball team. Not knowing he's a paraplegic, he feels he would get fired. Also knowing that he's a cop and tells them a story of how it happened (although it wasn't true and we find out in a later episode how it really happened) Soon Peter wants to become heroic by trying to foil off bank robbers, only to put him and Brian in danger. They become hostages, and Joe, with his negotiation work, decide to save him. Meanwhile, Meg tries to get up the courage to talk to Joe's son, Kevin.




Image result for The fat guy strangler8. The Fat Guy Strangler (4th Season)- This episode introduces us to Lois' unknown brother. But what I really like about this episode is who they got to voice his brother, Robert Downy Jr. (but only one time, somebody else takes over in later seasons) He had a traumatic life ever since he noticed his mom 'dating' Jackie Gleason from the honeymooners. Ever since then, he was placed in a mental institution (safe haven) Lois had no idea, and is oblivious to finding out that her own brother would go stangle fat people. Peter could not deal with being fat so he creates an organization for fat people, only to end up in danger and to be saved by Lois and Brian. Patrick even has an imaginary girlfriend. It's a good episode, and I do like Robert Downy Jr.


Image result for meet the quagmires 7. Meet the Quagmires (5th Season)- It's a good episode bringing it back to the future and a few John Hughes movie parodies. Actually they have a lot of them in this episode. Feeling as if he didn't spend most of his life to the fullest, Peter goes back in time to when he first met Lois. Only to dump her and even go out with Molly Ringwald instead, ending up back in the present to find out not only did he merry her, but Lois is married to Quagmire. He tries to fix it as best as  he could pulling the ending of 'Back to the Future' by punching out Quagimre and Brian distracting everyone with a hit tune (ala Michael J. Fox)


  Image result for you may now kiss the...uh...guy who receives   6. You may now kiss...uh...the guy who receives (4th Season)- This episode is about Brian's friend, Jasper getting engaged to his gay friend who also is a pool boy. Everyone is happy, but Lois feels that it isn't right. Meanwhile, Mayor Adam West ends up banning gay marriage to get people to not realized the Dig 'Em statue that me created was a stupid idea. Chris dates a republican girl who thinks gay Marriage isn't right. Burning the potion Brian was having people sign. He decides to take matters into his own hands by holding Mayor Adam West hostage. This episode is ok. Has its funny moments, and I think, deep down, love is more powerful than anything, no matter who you love. I for gay marriage even if I'm not gay.


Related image 5. 12 and a half angry men (11th Season)- This episode is a parody of 12 angry men. Having 12 citizens of Quahog in one room deciding the fate of Mayor West. Everyone except Brian agree that he's guilty. Brian convinces many of the other jurors why. Quagmire still hates him, Tom Tucker feels that since Adam West doesn't have a mustache he's guilty, Peter's just being a goof, but the one who doesn't believe him at all is Carter Pewterschmit. Why? The real reason is Lois' sister married Adam West. But it reveals that Mayor West is innocent, or is he? I think parading this show after a really great play and movie was a brilliant idea. So even if it's not that funny, I'd still watch it, after all, Brian is right half the time, and this is one of those times.


Image result for family guy wasted talent gif 4. Wasted Talent (2nd Season)- This episode starts out with Lois trying to find the right student to play at a piano concert. Meanwhile, Peter is trying to find a hidden scroll (ala Wonka) where whoever finds it, gets a tour of the Pawtucket Brewery. There is even a character named Pawtucket Paul (voiced by Michael McKean) that is the stunning image of Wonka. There are even Oompa Loompas and Charlie and Grandpa Joe in the factory. Peter loses and decides to drown his sorrows in beer. Deciding to play the piano brilliantly, Lois enters him into the concert where he wins, but Lois thinks that a lot of the alcohol he ingested killed his brain cells.




Image result for family guy da bomb 3. Da Bomb (2nd Season)- This episode came out around y2k and it seems in this one, Peter hides his family during 1999 on the last day of December fearing the world would end. His predictions were true when most of the citizens of Quahog is dead, Quagmire and Cleveland are fused together, Joe is under cement and it seems most of the family has to find a certain Twinkie factory when Peter hears that they could be the only source of food. When they do find it, they create a new town, but soon become parriahs. Stewie ends up being half an octopus after playing in some mutated goo, and lays eggs. At the end it turns out it was all a dream and it goes to an episode of Dallas with Patrick Duffy in the shower.




Image result for Family guy And then there were fewer gif  2. And then there were fewer (9th Season)- Not only is this the first episode in HD, but also an episode where we lose a few people from Quahog. Paroding on "and then there were none" A few residences of Quahog are invited to a certain mansion run by James Woods. It seems he wants to redeem all his wickedness to everyone that he wronged. However, all doesn't work out when not only one but, five people (even James Woods) end up dead. Everyone is scared, and with the bridge out, they are trapped with a killer. One by one, certain people are killed (mostly people that aren't seen much in many Family Guy episodes) Eventaully, it is revealed to Tom Tucker was the killer after they find a body of one of the missing hidden in his room along with the golden globe statue that was used to kill another person. It all is revealed near the end when Lois comes to consule Diane Simmons, soon realizing that she was the real killer, although she didn't plan to kill all those people, but only James Woods. But with evreyone getting in the way, she had to get rid of them too. When she's about to kill Lois a sniper riffle is shot, and Diane is dead. Revealing at the end that Stewie saved Lois saying that 'if anyone's going to kill that bitch, it's gonna be me' I actually liked this episode, event hough some of the episodes afterwards were kinda  weak, this episode was amazing....but what is number one?


   (The reason this isn't number one is that there is one episode better than this, the one that I would watch over, and over and over again)


It is.....

Image result for road to multiverse gif1. Road to Multiverse (8th Season)- I applaud road to Rhode Island for being the first of the 'Road To' episodes. There were good ones, and some were weak, but this one is the best. After winning a pig competition at the fair, Brian questions Stewie how he got a pig so muscular. He tells Brian that he went to another universe to get it. He takes Brian there to see how amazing it is and how different it is as well. However, as they are trying to get home, they end up going into different universes. One where it's Disney, another where it is Robot Chicken, another when it's real life and Stewie's an actual baby and Brian is....I forget what breed of dog. They soon end up in a universe where there is nothing but dogs and humans are treated like dogs in the real world. Stewie ends up in danger when he's taken to the human pound after they meet the Griffin dog family with Human Brian. It's revealed that Stewie left the shuffle on the remote. They save him, and human Brian reveals that he wants to go to the real world. He does, but ends up getting hit by a car.
   There were other universes they ended up in as well, including Flintstones, strange designs, a universe where everyone has to poop. It's interesting and this the episode I crown the best.

   I give props for doing something bold, and thanks to that 'Road to Multiverse's is number one.
