PurAqua Frut Flavored Water Variety Pack
I found this flavored water from PurAqua, and yes, it’s spelled “frut” as opposed to “fruit” on the packaging for some odd reason, to be more refreshing than flavorful. Naturally, it’s going to be refreshing because it’s water, and when it’s enjoyed good and cold, it’s a refreshing, thirst-quencher. …
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 …
Entenmann’s Holiday Pop’ems

Smithfield Center Cut 40% Less Fat Bacon

Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper Mint Cookies
Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper Mint Cookies are delicious mint and chocolate cookies. They have a layer of chocolate over the cookie. The layer does add taste, but it takes over the cookie. There should be more cookie than candy since its not sold as a candy. The actual …

Keebler Fudge Shoppe Peanut Butter Sticks
