Ritz Toasted Chips
I recently acquired a coupon for the new toasted chips by Ritz and thought I would give them a try. The chips are essentially very thin crackers that have been toasted and then put in a bag. They are very tasty and are not as fattening as other chip …
Golden Oreos
I bought a packages of Nabisco;s Golden Oreos recently. I wanted to try them as they were a new and unusual flavor. I thought these oreos would be something unusual and as I am a big fan of the regular oreos these seemed to be something to try …
Polos
I have probably bought more packets of Polos than any other mints because I like the way they are minty enough to freshen my breath and at the same time because they are sweet, they taste good. I also like the way the Polo mint has an iconic …
Quaker Rice Cakes Savoury Tomato and Basil
It used to be that buying and eating rice cakes was like buying and eating flaked up and pressed together cardboard, to be brutally honest. But now that there are new flavours and slightly better textures, it’s actually a convenient and edible snack. Okay, so it always was edible, …
Feelgood Juice Drink
Asia Brewery, Inc. was primarily known as a beer manufacturer in competition with San Miguel Corporation. It has since ventured into other kinds of drinks and one of them is Feelgood Juice Drink.
I am not so naïve as to believe every marketing scheme out there but I am not …
Bigelow Red Raspberry Herb Tea
Bigelow Red Raspberry Herb Tea is one of my favorite kinds of tea to drink. It comes nicely packaged, in a very attractive box that contains 20 tea bags, each one individually sealed in a foil packet. The packets have a tear line and are easy to open. Inside, …
Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Cake Mix
I have tried making a chocolate cake using Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe cake mix. The cake turned out to be just as beautiful, rich, and moist as it is shown on the picture on the box, with the only exception of frosting: the box shows brown frosting and I …
Mama Cozzi Garlic Texas Toast
There is a store not too far from my house named Aldi. This store carries mainly generic brands of food items that are modeled after or resemble products manufactured by big name, national or regional companies. Everything at this store is sold generally at or below the prices found …
Chandu Moong Dal Snack
Moong Dal or familiarly known as split beans is a good snack in India. I bought it during our grocery shopping at Spencers in Mumbai and it was really affordable yet tasty and a healthy snack.
I never knew this product before until one time when we travelled going to …
Focaccio with sun dried tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella
Recently I was on the road in Southern Oregon and needed to pick up a quick meal. I stopped at the local Safeway and nothing looked good. Finally, I looked at the pre-made sandwiches near the deli counter.
I expected to find the usually homogenized egg salad on white bread …
Totino’s Combination Pizza Rolls
Pizza is a food that is enjoyed in my house be each and every member of the family. Since we all like pizza we decided to try the Totino’s pizza rolls that we had seen advertised on TV. When we went to the store I noticed that there were …
Michelina’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Michelina’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce didn’t end up being a meal that I found to be particularly tasty or memorable. There was nothing at all wrong with the spaghetti as the spaghetti was tender in texture and about as thick as the spaghetti that can be bought in the …
San Attiva Verde
I’ve never hear of San Attiva juices until about a week ago when I saw them at the shop. I guess that was some kind a special offer because they were quite cheap and they were gone until I got to the shop this week. They are all of …
Fit & Active Southwest Style Chicken Panini
This frozen sandwich has some flavor to it! Let me first start off by saying the grilled chicken comes pretty tender when cooked as instructed. It’s not only tender, but it’s got a good flavor to it. Plus, the grilled chicken breast is a decent size! It’s enough for …
Equality Veggie Pizza (frozen product)
I like to stuff my freezer with those small frozen pizzas. It is definitely not the among the best tasting frozen products. As a matter, it does have that processed cheese plastic-y taste. But at the same time, there are products out there that are a lot worse.
There are …
Britania Good day Cardamom cookies
Britaina is the new company, which produces the cookies of many flavours, Plane biscuits, cream biscuits and even some kind of wafers with the cream. I have tasted much kind of biscuits or cream biscuits from Britania Company but I am the great fan of Britania Good day …
Shorty’s BBQ
Shorty’s BBQ is one of the best places to eat in Toledo. Anytime family or friends from out of town visit, we always take them on a trip to Shorty’s. The service is excellent, and the staff is friendly. The first thing you notice at Shorty’s is the smell—¦ …
Danish Butter Cookies
One of my favorite gifts I got for Christmas this year was two tins of the Danish Butter Cookies. That may seem odd to some people. I however like some of the simplest things in life more than the expensive gifts people give. You see I love the rich …
Aji Ichiban’s Isoyaki Duck Tongue
As a present from Hong Kong, my aunt gave us a huge pack of Isoyaki Duck Tongue from the Aji Ichiban store. Each tongue came in a sealed wrapper. Although I consider myself to be quite adventurous when it comes to food, it was my first time …
Michelina’s Stroganoff
This frozen meal from Michelina’s almost hits the mark, but unfortunately comes up a bit short. I do like this frozen dinner as I feel it’s got an appetizing flavor and aroma, but the frozen meal itself suffers from only being average in terms of quality. The frozen meal …
Kelloggs Corn Flakes Cereal
They call it the original — Kelloggs Corn Flakes Cereal. It’s certainly the most recognizable and purest of the Kelloggs family of cereals. My father loved this product tremendously. It was pretty much a staple in our cupboards as I grew up.
As for me, I wasn’t …
Nesvita Oatmeal
Oatmeal is always a perfect breakfast choice for people who are always in a hurry, who never had enough time to cook in the morning because of rush hour and fear of being late at work. I am one of these people and one of millions who consumed oatmeal …
Magnolia Cream Cheese Spread
I was a loyal user of Cheez Whiz when I came to know Magnolia Cream Cheese. During that time I was looking for alternative for Cheez Whiz since it was not available. I choose Magnolia since I haven’t tried it and I find the consistency thick because I opened …
Stouffer’s Precooked dinners
I often have no much time to cook or even go out to eat, so I’ ve tried a lot of pre-cooked products. Stouffer’s is by far the best. Seriously, no exaggeration! The best thing about them that I love is they do not taste like they are …
Heluva Good Bacon Horseradish Dip
I would never have considered putting the flavors of horseradish, bacon, and sour cream together. Luckily for me the makers of Heluva Good dips combined these three tastes to create the Heluva Good Bacon Horseradish Sour Cream Dip.
I have been buying Heluva Good dips for some time now but …
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 …
Wine Lover’s Chocolate
I love chocolate. Unfortunately my aging body could no longer accommodate the sugar and the fat that makes chocolate so sweet and seductive. So I’ve learned to ignore the 99 cent bars by simply telling myself that they are too sweet and are not luscious enough. It was …
Steak ‘n Shake Frozen Silver Dollar Potato Hash Browns
Steak ‘n Shake has been a pretty popular casual dining destination for decades now in various areas of the country. Indeed, while famous for steak burgers, there is plenty of other stuff to order off of the menu, and recently, Steak ‘n Shake has followed in the footsteps of …
Mrs. Freshley’s Cremey Curl Honey Bun
I must say, Mrs. Freshley’s Cremey Curl Honey Bun is certainly an interesting variety that I did not think existed! This honey bun really does not even look like something I would have for breakfast, and that is typically when I eat honey buns. Inside this honey bun is …
Twistos Baked Snack Bites Parmesan Garlic Flavor
In a previous review, I highly praised the asiago-flavored Twistos Baked Snack Bites. I felt the snack bites excelled when it came to both flavor and texture. Naturally then, I was excited to try the other flavors, in the hopes that they would be just as delightfully good. I …
Kroger Cocoa Crispy Rice
Kroger Cocoa Crispy Rice is a tasty cereal that I feel is just as good as Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies and if you are a regular purchaser of the Kellogg’s variety, I recommend that you give the Kroger brand a try if you have one near you. Also, because it …
National Bite Size Chocolate Bits cookies
When I saw this in the supermarket for the first time at a cheap price, I was delighted to know that the Jamaican brand National was finally making a cheaper pack of chocolate chip cookies, that felt like it contained even more in one bag. Therefore, being a chocolate …
Snickers Minis Ice Cream Bars
While looking at the ice cream aisle this week, I saw Snickers Minis Ice Cream Bars, a product I didn’t even know they made. Well, I knew they made or used to make full size bars, but I haven’t bought those in a very long time and haven’t …
Great Value Cranberry Sauce
I’m not a huge Cranberry Sauce fan but will eat it on occasion. My wife made an early Thanksgiving dinner last night and asked me to pick up a can and, not wanting to spend a fortune on it, I ended up buying a can from the brand Great …
Wrigley’s Big Red Slim Pack Gum
When I’m not looking for a gum to freshen my breath, I still like one that has a little bit of a kick. Sometimes I’m not in the mood for a fruity gum and decided to turn to Wrigley’s Big Red gum. It has the delicious taste of cinnamon …
Crush Grape Soda
I’ve found it to be one of two things when it comes to flavored sodas- people either love them or they hate them. I happen to be one of those people who loves them, which is why I have chosen to review Crush Grape Soda.
We buy this stuff quite …
Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper
When Dr Pepper first introduced the Cherry Vanilla variety, I bought a 20-ounce bottle without even thinking about what I was doing. There was no fear that this soft drink could taste bad or otherwise disappoint me. I grew up drinking Dr Pepper, so I’m fairly loyal to the …
Folgers Flavors French Vanilla
Folgers Flavors French Vanilla or (Vainilla Francesca) is a coffee that is sold widely in many stores and supermarkets. It was on my weekly shopping trip to Walgreens in my town that I noticed the brand. It was on sale for 3.99. It was marked down from it’s normal …
Breyers French Vanilla
Breyers French Vanilla ice cream is not bad, although I also really cannot say it is fabulous or even decent. It is sort of just alright or average. For an ice cream that is supposed to be of the French Vanilla variety, I really am disappointed. The ice cream …
Stride Spearmint Sugarfree Gum
I recently saw a ridiculous gum commercial where they were acting like the flavor of the gum lasted so long they might not sell as much gum. Even though it seemed like a silly claim, I had to try it and see if the gum really did have flavor …
GK Snacks Classic Cranberry Trail Mix
GK Snacks Classic Cranberry Trail Mix is something that I’ve only found in drugstores, like CVS and Walgreens, and for four dollars and ninety-nine cents, I can get a seventeen-ounce bottle. Contained in this trail mix bottle is a wide variety of sweet and salty, and above all else, …
Stovetop Cornbread Stuffing
I have loved stuffing ever since I was a kid. It was always my favorite part of the Thanksgiving Dinner. That, and the candied sweet potatoes. I recently bought some on my last trip to the grocery store and was excited to be able to make it again.
I …
Kroger Mexican-Style Refried Beans
One of the things that I noticed is that these beans have lard in them, which does alter the taste a little bit from beans made with vegetable oil (the kind I usually get). These seemed a little more authentic in the taste, like something you might get …
Fried Kway Teow
Fried Kway Teow is a local dish that can be found in many parts of Asia. It is normally sold in hawker centers and food stalls. You can even get the dish without spending so much money. In my country, I can buy a Fried Kway Teow …
Camel Cigarettes
I know smoking is probably bad for me, but it is my priveledge to smoke, and I love Camel cigarettes. When I was 14 I started my ‘ filthy’ habit with Camel Filters Box. For a year I was a Camel Filter girl, then I tried Camel Lights Box. …
Pan De Manila
Breakfast is not complete without bread in the table. I like eating breads specially when I have a hot chocolate to sip. Here in the Philippines, the most famous bread product is Pan De Sal. And speaking of Pan De Sal, I discovered one bakery inside a mall that …
Lambertz Exquisit biscuits Nocciola
At a supermarket that I usually buy my food I saw this really nice box of cookies the other day. I really like cookies specially those with chocolate and as I could see in this box all the cookies were covered with it so I got excited and, of …
Sweet Sue Chicken And Dumplings
I love chicken and dumpling. Oh, heck, our entire family loves chicken and dumplings. We are a chicken loving family! However, that is not the case with Sweet Sue Chicken and Dumplings.
Sure, when I tried Sweet Sue Chicken and Dumplings, I knew that it would not …
