Imagine my surprise to be wandering around the local supermarket and spotting this: Perhaps it's my one track mind at play, but I can't think of any good reason - other than someone in their marketing department has heard of Mr Keehl - for these chocolates to be called Mello's. There's even that possessive apostrophe making it clear that Mello is someone to own this chocolate-y treat. Naturally, in the interests of science, I had to purchase a pack and eat them. I can't quite imagine Mello having one of his ferocious eating-chocolate-with-malice-aforethought bites with a small marshmallow tea treat, but yolo. I enjoyed them. Incidentally, in my stories, Mello's chocolate is Bourneville Dark - also made by Cadbury. I pretty much picked it for the colours and the fact that the black splodge looks a little like a bullet-hole when you squint. What chocolate does YOUR Mello nom?

Well, how fabulous is this?! The lovely people over at The Speakeasy - a blog and podcast site run by Alain and Kate - have created a cocktail for Death Note fans. This alcoholic Death Note drink takes as its inspiration Ryuk's legendary passion for human world apples. Entitled Gods of Death Love Apples, the shinigami cocktail mixes brandy, rum and angostura bitters around an apple base. Just the thing to warm the cockles on these cold winter evenings! In addition, The Speakeasy's podcast comes from New York Comic Con 2014, where Takeshi Obata was a special guest. You may hear that from the same page, while enjoying a Death Note cocktail or three. All of which gets me thinking - what Death Note character cocktails can we come up with here on Death Note News? Comment with your concoctions and I'll feature them all in a blog closer to Christmas, possibly with taste tests filmed and uploaded. I'm certain that my homies would take one for the team, when it comes to sampling Death Note alcoholic beverages. They're full of heart like that. Bring it on! |
