Nutrimalt
I love Malta drinks even though most people around me can’t get used to the taste. Usually I will go for Malta. It is the only brand that I consider “nice” - but that’s mainly because I had never tried other brands before.

I am very fond of sweet corn and I would eat it with every food, unfortunately my family isn’t crazy about it as I am so we were eating it only in different soups when I was little. Only my Dad shares this corn fixation with my but he …
Oscar Mayer Lunchables - Mini Burgers
I’ve heard about the popular Oscar Mayer Lunchables for many years, but they came along long after I was a kid so it really wasn’t until recently that I gave them a try. They were on sale and I was looking for more quick and easy meals.
This particular …
Hershey’s Kisses Cherry Cordial Crème
I just love the rich cherry smell of these Hershey’s Kisses! As soon as I take a few out of the bag I can smell their sweet scent in the air around me. I love cherries and chocolate covered cherries, but sometimes chocolate covered cherries can be a bit …
Lemon Squares from Global Grub Catering
I can’t stop raving about the lemon squares that I had last night from our Christmas party. The lemon squares were the dessert offering of Global Grub Catering. We were initially asked to choose among banoffee pie, leche flan, or lemon squares and majority went for the …
Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar
I started using Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar last June 2012. It is more than a year already and life will be difficult without it. It was my sister who suggested me this since we were looking for some detox or cleansing products. I …
Leslie’s Clover Chips
Admit it! We all love chips in different ways! Like me, I love eating chips, specially potato chips, when watching TV or surfing the internet, etc. Lately, I have found another good tasting corn chip to add on my list of favorites.

Nestle Blue Riband Dark chocolate biscuits
Nestle’s Blue Riband biscuits have been a nice, tasty treat for as long as I can remember, and are still pretty popular, but more recently the company has introduced Blue Riband Dark, which as the name implies are coated with plain rather than the traditional milk chocolate. Also in …
Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls Classic
Few things in life give me as much joy as when I bite into a warm freshly made Cinnabon Cinnamon roll. In fact I would do some pretty shameful things just to get a cup of the cream cheese based frosting that comes with them.
The cinnamon rolls themselves …
Edy’s Mango Ice Cream
Edy’s mango ice cream is a recent discovery I made while on one of many excursions to super Wal-Mart. I had previously been accustomed to another brand of ice cream, but I figured since that brand no longer made their mango ice cream I would try Edy’s.
The mango ice …
Nabisco Vegetable Thins Crackers
I’ve always enjoyed vegetable thins crackers, which have the tangy taste of veggies added to a wheat cracker that was strong enough to dip without breaking, but they were a bit heavy and harder to chew than some of the other thin crackers, like Better Cheddars. They came …
Millville Chocolate Crispy Oats Cereal
The Millville Chocolate Crispy Oats Cereal comes in an eleven point twenty-five ounce box for two dollars and nineteen cents at ALDI Food Market stores. They taste very much like the General Mills Chocolate Cheerios. While a box of the General Mills Chocolate Cheerios costs around two dollars and …
Colombina Snow Mint candy
I am not usually a fan of things that are mint flavoured, especially mint flavoured candy. That is why when my mother offered me a Colombina Snow Mint candy I nearly declined. However, because it did not look like one of the usual mint candies I was used to …
MacDonalds Fries
There is no doubt for me that one of the highlights of going to MacDonalds is their fries. I have always loved them and wish they could be readily available at home. I understand that this would probably turn me into a very overweight being, but they are lovely.

For years I have had trouble getting a good night’s rest. I’ve tried many different products including herbal teas with mixed results. Recently, for the past two weeks I have had great success with one particular brand of herbal tea. Bigelow …
Mandarin and peach tea with Echinacea, Cedevita
I don’t like Cedevita teas because they aren’t very strong. I mean, you have to put 2 bags 2-3dl cup if you want to feel the taste.
I like mandarin a lot and I like peach too so when I saw this tea in the store I decided to buy …
Heluva Cheese
I’m a big fan of cheese, particularly cheddar, and am always looking for ways to get it at a good price. Before I moved back to the northeast, I had never seen Heluva cheese, so I was a little skeptical the first time I saw it on the grocery …
Bottega Nero Dark Chocolate Liquor
Alcohol is something I’ve never written a review for and it’s not that I don’t drink, it’s just that I didn’t want to write about things like wine and beer, since it’s really hard to explain the flavor of those (at least for me) and will unlikely give people …
Craver’s Cookies - Haulin’ Oats & Raisins Gourmet Cookies
I usually don’t buy or eat Oats and Raisins cookies but when my mother came to visit she bought a couple boxes of Craver’s Haulin’ Oats & Raisins Gourmet Cookies with her and left me a box for myself.

It’s the time of the year where kitchens across the country are filled with baking items and materials that go into and are used to make tasty holiday treats. Making Christmas cookies and other assorted goodies can run into some serious money, so it’s important to shop around and …

Cadbury Drinking Chocolate (vegan)
I absolutely love hot chocolate. I even drink it during the summer, which, I think, proves how strong my feelings towards hot chocolate are. I usually make my own hot chocolate with cocoa powder and natural sweeteners, but every time I see a new drinking chocolate powder at the store …
Market Pantry Saltine Crackers
Saltine crackers are a pretty basic food, something that I would think is pretty difficult to mess up. I mean, how much more basic can you get than a simple cracker with a bit of salt on it? Somehow, however, Market Pantry (a generic brand sold at …
Betty Crocker Halloween Candy Fruit Snacks
I will not purchase Betty Crocker Halloween Candy Fruit Snacks again because I find the snacks to be of poor quality. The reason that I feel that they are of poor quality is because I do not taste anything close to authentic fruit flavor. I am well aware that …
Our Family Ravioli
I had to grab something quick for lunch this morning and I ended up buying a can of Our Family Ravioli in Meat Sauce.

Wonder Bread

A and W Root Beer Soda
The A&W food chain has changed a lot over the years of its existence. I must admit I long for the good old days, but that’s not what this review is about. The one thing that this restaurant is primarily known for is its root beer. …
Green Giant Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower & Cheese Sauce
Green Giant Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower & Cheese Sauce comes it very handy when I need to decide what vegetables to serve as a side dish and don’t have time to make a salad. This frozen veggie mix takes only 11-18 minutes to cook (depending on how much you are …

OnCor Rib Shaped Pork Patties in BBQ Sauce
I have tried several OnCor frozen food products, and our family likes them all: Lasagna, Salisbury steaks, and now these “barbeque ribs.” They are not real ribs, of course, which is clearly stated on the box: they are pork patties, shaped in the form of ribs, but they taste …
Big K Koolers- Pink Lemonade
This lemonade is compareable to many of the big lemonade brands such as Homeade and Minute Maid. It is actually a lot better in my opinion. My mom did not buy Minute Maid because it was too expensive, so she went with these cans of Big K pink lemonade. …
Surya noodles
The Surya branded noodles are the worst noodles, which I have ever tasted. The surya noodles come in very attractive packing along with the tastemaker inside. The cost of these noodles is Rs.20 in India. But the quality of these noodles is not good at all. …
