We immediately tested them on each other - they do sting a bit - before turning our aim to my wife’s Christmas decorations (that poor snowman). I got one for myself and one for my brother-in-law, ensuring I have a partner in crime. I usually refrain from buying into the hype cycle of new game releases, but I have been getting back into Halo in a big way since the multiplayer beta launch.Īs for the Nerf, the pump-action loading and included in-game weapon skin hooked me. A recent example is my impulsive purchase of two Halo Nerf Bulldog SG Dart Blasters from a lightning deal during the Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend. Real, squeezed oranges and Alphonso mango puree that tastes kind of like orange soda but without all of the sugar.ĭon’t let the gray hairs, mortgage, spouse, and two cats fool you - I am a child. But every day I use this machine I feel a little trill of joy - so it might not be a guilty pleasure for me, but depending on your love of beverages, mileage will vary. It’s noisy - the churn of ice being made is providing a background rhythm even as I type this. It comes with Bluetooth and an atrocious app I closed immediately after opening. The GE Opal costs $550 if you’re lucky (it goes on sale often) but usually retails for $579 to $679. Even a glass of water feels like it’s more expensive. Sodas sparkle when faced with so much surface area. Juice feels luxurious poured over these chewy little ice nugs. I stopped buying iced coffee elsewhere because mine always just came out fancier - and seemingly tastier. Besides being crucial for authentic Tiki drinks, this ice just feels like it classes up every drink it touches.
But the GE Opal gives me the “good” ice, alternatively known as “nugget” or “Sonic” ice. I’m hesitant to call it a “guilty” pleasure because I have used this $550 (or more) GE Opal 2.0 ice machine every day for nearly a full year and not once have I felt guilt about spending such an obscene amount of cash on a kitchen gadget that does exactly one thing. We asked the staff of The Verge what some of their guilty pleasures are, and the braver among us volunteered some answers. Or a hair styler that is way expensive but would make you look fabulous. Or a video game that you’ve been playing for years. It could be a $100-plus coffee cup that keeps your liquid at the exact right temperature. We all have stuff that we’ve bought ourselves - or asked others to buy for us - that makes us happy, even if we suspect our friends may not understand why it’s so great.
