Act Two Microwave Popcorn
I just love eating microwave popcorn each night when i am in front of the television watching a good movie. Act Two is the only brand that comes in mind when it comes to popcorn. Personally, I love Act Two’s Kettle Corn flavor, butter and cheese flavors. They are …
Lean Cuisine Chicken Enchilada Suiza
Lean Cuisine fills a niche in the American life. I cannot tell you if they sell it anywhere else because when I am abroad I don’t go looking for frozen food. You eat a Lean Cuisine usually because you are watching your weight and are either too …
Silk Vanilla Iced Latte
I decided to give a new product from the Silk brand a try , called Silk Vanilla Ice Latte . A iced latte that is made from soy milk instead of traditional cows milk. As a fan of Silk I wasn’t purely hesitant since I know that silk delivers …
Rice A Roni-Whole Grains
I started eating Rice a Roni a few years ago while I was in college. I recently found the whole grain version at the store and purchased a box. The whole grain version is really great tasting, and makes a nice side item with any meal. I have been …
Emerald Harmony Island Crunch Trail Mix
For as long as I can remember I have loved dehydrated fruit. I remember my grandfather pulling out his food dehydrator and making dehydrated bananas, apples, and many other fruits. Now I find myself buying a lot of this dried fruit when I go to the store. Recently I …
Chef Boyardee Mac and Cheese
I bought this can of macaroni and cheese to take on vacation for my daughter. I needed something very easy that I could prepare if she hated what I had made for dinner but it needed to be very easy and not use a lot of pans …
Knorr Pasta Sides Alfredo Broccoli
This Pasta Side proved to be a little disappointing because Knorr was pretty chintzy on the broccoli! The picture on the package is a pretty accurate depiction of just how small the pieces of broccoli actually are and because the broccoli is so small, it’s pretty easy for it …
Tofuking Northern Tofu
Since I decided to convert to be a vegetarian having a tofu in almost all of my dishes at home makes my cooking even more appealing most especially that I particularly make lots of dishes that need tofu on it as a good substitute for a red meat or …
Original Ceylon Tea Company: 1001 Nights
This is a lovely, refreshing and mellow black tea with flavors of fruit and roses. I bought this tea on a whim from Grocery Outlet - how I love being able to try new things on the cheap — and when I sip it I am filled with …
Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins
Although Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins definitely contain a richer amount of blueberry flavor than the one-hundred calorie blueberry muffins, the flavor is still not nearly as impressive as the Little Debbie Blueberry Muffins. Whereas the Little Debbie muffins off an explosive degree of blueberry taste that really excite my …
Lay’s Spicy Curry Potato Chips
You know how sometimes with potato chips when you eat the first one, you think, hmmm, this tastes weird. And then you eat a few more just because, hey, the bag is open?
That’s how I felt about these potato chips. Only after I had eaten the 5th or 6th …
Cheerio’s
What can you say about Cheerio’s? It’s a breakfast staple that I, along with many of you I suspect, grew up on. We have fond memories of getting up in the morning and pouring ourselves a big bowl of cereal.
Unlike many cereals, Cheerios has next to no …
Pepsi max
I recently found one of my favorite beverages on sale at Dollar General. The soft drink is Pepsi Max and as the name implies was made the Pepsi company. The thing about this beverage is that is low calorie and advertises on the label that it has …
Lyons Golden Syrup
Lyons Golden Syrup has long been used and loved in the homes and bakeries of Europe to add a rich, sweet flavor to their confections and recipes.
It has the thick consistancy of honey but has a rich, buttery sweetness that is distictly its own.
I have used this product in …
The Glory of Five Roses Tea
Aah Five Roses tea…. The very flavor of home and comfort. I have been drinking this tea since I was a wee young thing, running around the house with my tea bottle hanging from my lips - 3 parts milk to 1 part tea. Morning, noon, …
Aunt Jemima Whole Grain Pancakes
Aunt Jemima Whole Grain Pancakes are absolutely terrible! I decided to give them a try because they offer a source of whole grain, something of which is good for one’s body, but let me say, while the whole grain might be good for my body, these pancakes are not …
Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles Spicy Chicken Flavor
I have been a fan of ramen noodles for some time now, but I had not tried Yakisoba noodles before. Although I am not sure what the difference is between ramen noodles and Yakisoba noodles (even after trying them both they seem very similar), I could not resist trying …
Taco Bell Nachos BellGrande
Ok i just love the Nachos BellGrande from Taco Bell. In fact I think they are some of the best tasting Nachos from any place that I’ve ever been to. They are for sure the best fast food nachos you will ever taste. They only fast good nachos I never …
Baja Cafe: Mild Salsa
There’s nothing that remarkable about this salsa that I noticed. This salsa is like a lot of other salsas on the market and it doesn’t really do much that sets it apart from the other tomato-based salsas. It even comes up a little short in some regards. There are …
Eatons Original Jamaican Jerk Tomato Ketchup
When I saw the unopened bottle of Eaton’s Original Jamaican Jerk Tomato Ketchup in the pantry at home, I was very eager to try it since I had never tried jerk tomato ketchup, and the ketchup sounded like it would have an interesting taste. Well, sad to say when …
Entenmann’s All Butter Loaf Cake
I find Entenmann’s All Butter Loaf Cake to be a decent treat to have with my breakfast every now and then. There is nothing really incredibly special about this loaf cake, although I feel that it offers a decent enough flavor to have once or twice a week, sometimes. …
Milano Melts Cookie
Every time I venture into Target, I discover a new kind of cookie or candy that I had never previously encountered anywhere else. Being a huge cookie aficionado, this thrills me to no end. My most recent trip had me discover a new kind of Milano cookie that I …
Milbona Greek Style Salad Cheese
I tried this ‘Greek Style Salad Cheese’ by the Milbona brand because it was the closest thing to Feta cheese that Lidl had at the time. I have been craving one of my favourite vegetarian tortilla wraps which contains feta, so I tried this rather than travel to …
Werther’s Original Hard Candy
I think Werther’s Originals are the best candy of this type. I am a very big fan of this candy. The taste is mostly caramel, so if you love caramel, you’ll surely love this thing. It tastes so much like creamy caramel, though I am really
not sure if it …
Boca Meatless Breakfast Wraps
First things first I am a meat eater. I love beef cooked in as many ways as I can possibly get it. I eat meat everyday and have never even thought about eating a soy product. That was until a free coupon for Boca Meatless Breakfast Wraps showed up …
Mrs. Freshley’s Halloween: Chocolate Mini Donuts
Do not let the Halloween name and special packaging trick you: Mrs. Freshley’s Halloween: Chocolate Mini Donuts features no unique or special Halloween decorations or flavors. The chocolate donuts are just that - chocolate with typical donut cake inside. Why they even bother to add the word “Halloween” is …
Kroger Honey Nut Toasted Oats
Kroger Honey Nut Toasted Oats is a brand of cereal that is manufactured by and sold at Kroger. They are modeled after Honey Nut Cheerios, and you know, I actually like this store brand better than the name brand! The reason is this: the Kroger cereal is actually crunchier …
Oishi ponkan juice
This is a fairly new brand of powdered juice drink in the market which can compete with the leading brand because of its flavor and what it offers over all. Oishi Sundays ponkan powdered juice drink is very delicious and I especially love its sweet taste and very flavorful …
Stars and stripes sodas
I consider myself to be somewhat of a soda aficionado (or as close as one can be without incurring a severe case of type 3 diabetes) and I was somewhat skeptical when I first tried the Stars and Stripes line of sodas. Usually cost effective sugar water meant …
Wendy’s Baconator hamburger sandwich
In 2009, Wendy’s fast food restaurant chain introduced a new hamburger called the Baconator. I actually didn’t start eating this until the last few months, but now I really like it, and there are a few reasons for that.
First, I’m a little on the finicky side when it …
Tesco Value Salted Peanuts
These salted peanuts are from Tesco’s own range of Value products and you can buy a big 200g bag for a mere 27p. I love peanuts because they are so filling and as I am a vegetarian I can up my protein intake as well, and I recently …
Lowe’s Peanut Brittle candy
Throughout and entire day, my friend ended up spending lots of money on “Lowes Peanut Brittle” candies because she said that she had become addicted to its taste. Since I loved peanut brittle, I decided to try one of “Lowe’s Peanut Brittle” for myself, and actually found myself liking …
Barber Foods Asparagus and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
I like stuffed chicken breasts: They make for good gourmet food with less the effort. I like asparagus so I decided to give the Barber Foods asparagus and cheese stuffed chicken breasts.
The asparagus and cheese stuffed chicken breasts comes two in a box. They are individually wrapped, so I …
Great Value Mandarin Oranges
Great Value Mandarin Oranges are sold in a 15 oz metal can that needs to be open with a can-opener (no convenient ring-opener attached to the lid). Segments of mandarin oranges come in light syrup; they are medium sweet, not very different from the taste of a fresh, ripe …
Electric Reindeer wine
I buy a certain type of wine each holiday season. The wine is called Electric Reindeer. I buy this at World Market. They have different types of the Electric Reindeer variety. There is a White Zinfandel, Merlot, Shiraz and I believe also a cabnernet.It is a versatile brand.
I like …
Hostess Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Hostess is one of the most familiar brand names in America. I imagine you would have a hard time finding someone that didn’t know what a Twinkie was. Considering the popularity of the brand, I’m really surprised that Hostess hadn’t taken advantage of the pumpkin craze that never fails …
Sleepytime Tea
Sleepytime tea is the perfect tea for those who want a mild and delicious drink at the end of the day. I sometimes think it’s hard to find a good tasting tea that doesn’t overpower you and that doesn’t have loads of caffeine. Sleepytime tea is caffeine free and …
L’Oven White Bread
I picked up bread the other day thinking we didn’t have any at home. But, as it turns out, my wife convinced my parents to pick up some groceries for us since they were at the store anyway and she didn’t want to go out in the cold with …
Magic Flakes
Magic Flakes is a biscuit manufactured by Universal Robina Corporation.
It really feels bad when you aren’t eating on short breaks because you’re worried too much of the time. Sometimes the taste of junk food feels boring already and all you can taste is the monosodium glutamate (MSG). I’ve tried …
Angostura Soy Sauce
It was the holiday season and I was rushing for ingredients to make a special dinner for some relatives I would be having over. Unfortunately one of the ingredients I needed to pick up at the store was soy sauce.
I think everyone had the same idea I did and …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights Minis
These little cakes are actually pretty good, and a great idea. They come two to a package, and each package comes with a small pouch of cake mix, a black plastic bowl type thing, and a package of topping (we’ve tried the caramel and the fudge).
If …
Cellogs corn flakes
Cellogs corn flakes are a new snack, which my kids just love it. When I had been to the market just 4 days back, I saw this packet and wanted to give a try. These corn flakes are the products of the company called Cellogs. These …
Lien Cuisine Panini
I take my lunch to work everyday, and Lien Cuisine panini sandwiches are some of the best things that I can find to take with me. The are easy to heat up if you have a microwave, and they are very delicous. There are many different flavors to choose …
Twix bar
Twix has such a nice commercial with propagets love and sharing i think that’s great but in my case if I love someone and I had one twix I would give him both halves of it. I just don’t like it it is too dry and has too little …
Kraft Original Macaroni and Cheese
The original boxed Kraft Original Macaroni and Cheese has been around for many years now, really, before most other boxed macaroni and cheeses were ever conceived. It is still one of the best, although I have had others that have surpassed the quality of this boxed mix. Not many, …
Optimum Nutrition Performaxx Multivitamin
I’m a professional sprinter, and I honestly don’t know if I could survive without this multivitamin. I train 3 times a day, 4 days a week, which takes it toll. I needed something that would replenish my body and help me recover as quickly as possible. After doing a …
Fit & Active Apple Cinnamon Fruit & Grain Cereal Bars
I bought these cereal bars once after trying the very delicious blueberry cereal bars from Fit & Active, but I was pretty disappointed that the apple cinnamon filling. Although the cereal bars were not completely devoid of apple cinnamon flavor, there really was not a rich, deep apple cinnamon …
Magnolia Ice Cream
I don’t know why but for some reason, Magnolia Ice Cream is not as delicious as before. They have developed new flavors and varieties but to compare it with the flavors a decade ago , I can say that ten years ago, the ice cream tasted much better even …
Kinder Chocolate
Ok it is true, I am almost 27 years odl and my favourite chocolate is the chocolate for kids. I really wonder how many grown ups can say that they don’t like this chocolate? I guess our taste doesn’t change that much with years because when I was little …
Hamburger Helper Mexican Crunchy Taco
I love Hamburger helper and their many varieties of dinner kits. There’s nothing more convenient than having an easy one skillet meal to whip up in under an hour. Hamburger helper is one of those dinner kits that you can never go wrong with. Especially if all you …
