I simply love these fish-shaped milk-coated biscuits called Knick Knacks. This is a very popular snack among kids here in the Philippines. And why not? Moms would always love to give their kids yummy snacks, but of course we want to make sure what they’re eating is healthy… But …

Pringles Baked Wheat Stix - Honey Butter flavoured taste a bit odd, to be honest. Like crackers with butter and honey on them I guess. (Although they are sticks, obviously). There’s a satisfying crunch to them and enough in the package to share with another person and still feel …

Although I feel that Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars could have likely been richer in flavor had this product not been made with nutrition in mind, I must say that despite the fact that there is really very little sugar added to these wafer bars, they still …

As I have made a review of McDonald’s Ice cream sundae on a cone, I will also make a parallel review of the Jollibee’s similar sundae on a cone too.

We ended up having a leftover turkey dinner last night and, to go with it, my wife made some Birdseye Freshlike brand Green Beans.
Normally, I like frozen vegetables like this particular brand. But, I have to admit, I was somewhat disappointed with them.
First, they just didn’t seem to cook …

I always used to love Golden Grahams when I was younger. This was probably one of my favorite cereals, because General Mills took the concept of graham crackers and put them in a cereal. I don’t know of any other cereal company that uses graham crackers in their cereal. …

To be honest, I’ve never been that much of a fruit juice drinker. Nowadays, though, they have all these wonderful juice packs that make buying juice drinks tempting. I tried one out and liked it and then was given the opportunity to test out a pack of …

I like Rice Krispies cereal, but I love Frosted Rice Krispies cereal! I find this cereal to be positively delicious, but unfortunately, the reason this cereal is so good is also the reason why a person should avoid it, or at least, only have it once and awhile. This …

Little Debbie Iced Honey Buns are an enjoyable treat once and awhile that could stand an improvement. There is supposed to be a light amount of cinnamon added to these honey buns, and there most certainly is just that, but in my opinion, the honey buns would taste a …

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 …

You know I’ve never been a big fan on frozen pizza’s mostly because I’d rather do my own cooking, whether it be baking, cooking in general and making my own pizza.
I must admit though that recently I bought this frozen pizza when they had a three day sale going on …

Stouffer’s Turkey Tetrazzini is not quite as good as the tuna noodle casserole that I really enjoy, but I still like to purchase this meal every so often. I simply do not like turkey quite as much as I like some other things, but when I do have a …

Barq’s hast bite. So goes the slogan for Barq’s root beer and one that is quite true. It has a much more pungent flavor than the other root beers on the market (such as A&W or Hires). Diet Barq’s tries to keep the bite even in …

I’m not that big of a Labatt’s fan. Generally my beer of choice would be Corona, if I’m gonna drink anything. However, I have to admit that Labatt’s Honey Lager is a delicious beer. And with their no-name competition (Lakeport Honey Lager) being so cheap, it …

As a lover of pan pizza, I was excited to receive an email from Pizza Hut announcing their new PANormous pizza. Finally, on Christmas Eve, I decided to order one and see if it lived up to its promise.
Pizza Hut claims the PANormous is 40 percent bigger than …

This is a very good value. This cereal pack contains the following: Mini Wheats, Corn Pops, Rice Krispies, Cornflakes, Apple Jacks, Froot loops, Raisin Bran and Frosted Flakes. That is a decent balance of healthy and not so healthy cereals. What I usually do is mix two cereals together: …

In my opinion chocolate and orange go great together, especially if the chocolate is dark. A few days ago a friend came to visit me and she brought me a present she knows that I like sweets, especially chocolate so she bought me Witor’s Chocolate Candy party confection. It …

Ever since I started working at nights, I had the problem of staying up throughout the night and on the way home. I tried naps, that kinda worked. I tried coffee, I hate coffee. I drink tea but that doesn’t help me that much. Then, …

Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Tomato Basil Bruschetta comes two to a pack for two dollars and ninety-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. That comes out to costing roughly one dollar and fifty cents for each half. The bruschetta is long and I usually only manage half of one …

When I transitioned from my late teens to my 20s, I started to watch what I ate. Sadly, this meant no more deep-fried foods, substituting lean meats for beef, upping my vegetable intake about three times, and watching the amount of sugar I ate. This is sadly …

I customarily drink tea right after every meal. It gave me better digestion and an immediate relief of what I just ate. Green tea is the best of all tea because it is naturally rich in antioxidants. The latter can be an important agent inside the body to fight …

Judge chewing gum is one of the most favorite chewing gums of the kids here in the Philippines. My son loves it. I too have come to like it. Well, it’s in small square size. But what I like about it is it’s minty flavor. It’s not too strong …

Ever since I first tasted it some years ago, I have loved plantain chips. However, what I soon realized was that not every brand of plantain chips tasted good. After trying the particular brand of plantain chips, I found that St. Mary’s Plantain Chips is one of the …

Just like with my review of Nova Smoked Salmon, I must warn that this product is not for everyone, and those unfamiliar with the concept of eating cold smoked fish will probably lack the courage to try it. Joe Pucci & Sons Seafood Smoked Chubs are sold in packs …

Hidden Valley Ranch dressing is the only dressing that I like in my salads. It’s the best dressing if you ask me. It’s thick and creamy and has a taste like no other dressing out there. I had a Kraft ranch low fat dressing once and that is alright, …

Every now and then, I get a craving for chocolate and ice cream, and Wendy’s frostys are a refreshing solution. Recently they’ve been advertising their new blended frostys, supposedly more like milk shakes.
Turns out those are kind of ridiculous. You pay more money for something that tastes exactly the …

When you make sauces, such as speghetti or any pasta type foods, do you find that it just is missing some zip? I mean it is just not ’special’? I make pasta all the time, and I make sure that I add salsa to it, for that special zippy …

These chips from the Dollar Tree are really no deal. Although they only cost a dollar, the bag size is just six ounces. I can get twelve ounce bags from Walmart for under two dollars when I purchase the Great Value brand and for even less at ALDI if …

I really do love Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popping Corn, but I’ve rarely tried any of the various flavors except for butter flavors. However, I had a chance to try their new Cheddar Cheese variety and decided to give it a shot.
I was actually surprised how much I liked …

I think Mickey’s Malt Liquor has a great taste compared to other Malt Liquor’s. The beer is smooth and does not have a bad aftertaste. The bottle even looks cool. If you are just starting to drink Malt Liquor I would say this is the perfect 40oz to start …

Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Wheat Bread was tried by me for taking a break from usual white breads that I buy and also because of health conscious decision to get some whole grains in the diet. As the name suggest, the bread was soft and smooth. To my …

I’ve tried, oddly enough, quite a few different kinds of instant mashed potatoes. Maybe I’m just lazy? At any rate, these ones are, obviously, quite easy to make, because just like all the others, all you have to do is add hot water. You don’t even have to heat …

One of my favorite varieties of chocolates are dark chocolates. One of the brands which I have recently had the opportunity to purchase is Wawel Dark Chocolates. The ones that I bought contain little orange bits. I decided to try this particular flavor because it sounded very good. …

I’m kind of a fruit snack fanatic. So when I saw these Scooby-Doo themed Betty Crocker fruit snacks at my local grocery store, I just had to try them (because everything tastes better in shapes, right?). They come in a box of ten pouches, with about 8 fruit snacks …

Season’s Choice Super Sweet Whole Kernel Corn is a frozen, packaged corn that’s sold at ALDI Food Market stores for just sixty-five cents. For sixty-five cents, a person can purchase a sixteen ounce bag. That’s a very impressive value in my opinion and it beats what other stores sell …
