There are big and small evils in this world. One of the small but unavoidable evils are Dill Pickles In Sandwiches. I hate dill pickles to begin with, and I especially detest them in sandwiches. They taste sour. They make my face twist. They also have this wicked tendency …

Snapple Lemon Iced Tea is by far my favorite brand and flavor of iced tea. It is the perfect blend of bitter and sweet with an excellent consistency. Snapple is not to watery or too thick. There are many other flavor such as blueberry, peach, and …
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Candy Bar

PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter with premium chocolate

Diet IBC Root Beer
IBC root beer is not A & W root beer, but it is still pretty darn good. And when it comes to the diets, I hate to admit it but diet IBC beats diet A & W any day of the week. I can barely differentiate diet …

One of the best burgers I have ever tasted. What other burger have you ever eaten that has all this meat? It has two patties, and if you ask for more they will add more! It has stripes of bacon. Ham and beef, what a great combination with come …
Lay’s Potato Chips
I love eating chips and this makes up most of my diet if I am not I the mood to eat a full meal. Junk foods are not really good, I know but at least some have tried to be a bit on the healthy side. Lay’s Products have …
Arce Dairy Ice Cream

Calzones at the J
The “J” cafeteria at Humboldt State University serves calzones for lunch every tuesday. A calzone is like a small pizza without the sauce that is folded in half and closed, so it’s like a big home-made cheesey pizza pocket. The cost is $1.10 with a meal plan …
Hershey Chocolate
I just love this chocolate more than anything else. It has a different taste that nothing can compare as far as chocolates is concern. I am not a chocolate lover but when you say about chocolate it must be Hershey. The combination fo milk and cocoa really gives me …
Rivercote Bread Mix

There are three different mixes to …
Chick-fil-A Sausage Biscuit
Chick-fil-A Sausage Biscuit is pretty good, although not quite as good as the McDonald’s Sausage McGriddle.

If you like mild but flavorful salsa, you MUST try this salsa I found at Dollar Tree. Now, I’ve bought their 16 oz. jars before and they’re very good, but this one is 24 oz., which is 50% more for the same price!
We use a lot of salsa …

Count Chocula energy drink? Are you kidding me?!

Like many of us who could stand to lose a few pounds, I’ve always been on the lookout for a new exercise routine or weight-loss alternative. However, I’ve always been a bit sceptical about diet fads such as protein shakes and bio-yogurt, so I wasn’t expecting much when a …

Nature Valley Oats ‘N Honey Crunchy Granola Bar

Kroger Buttermilk Waffles
