Although now when I think about it, it seems strange but I have never tasted Monte by Zott product in my life. Well, I remember seeing commercials on TV about Monte by Zott puddings and snacks but I have never even considered buying one. I cannot honestly say why. Zott …

Having never purchased a bottle of anejo tequila -I’d only had it in mixed drinks before - I decided to give it a try recently. Anejos are known for richer flavors because they take the longest to age. Although I prefer reposado tequila, I really enjoyed this Herradura Anejo …

Shakes are a great dessert when going to any restaurant. I love them because they are usually thick and creamy. My favorite part of a shake is the sweetness. I love ice cream, and anything sweet, eve since I was pregnant with my son. Going to restaurants I am …

I’m usually not the type of person who has a big appetite, but when I find a food that actually impresses my taste buds, I binge on it. The actual thought of bingeing on food makes someone on a diet feel very guilty. Well, I found out that there’s …

General Mills - Chocolate Chex is a cereal that did very little for me. I did not necessarily purchase this cereal for the purpose of having it for breakfast because I do not like chocolate for breakfast, really. It does not settle well in my stomach. I purchased this …

Cheez-it pepper jack is another selection from the cheez-it family that I decided to give a try after seeing in the store. The cheez-it on the box looks like someone took small pieces of pepper Jack cheese and folded them over into squares and baked them. Oddly they still …

In my lifetime, I’ve tried a variety of cake mixes, and I suppose that at various times, different brands have been my favorite. Lately, I’ve been purchasing Betty Crocker Super Moist Milk Chocolate Cake Mix off and on.

This product has become my HG, i can’t get enough of it. It’s so light and refreshing and just makes you feel good. It comes in a black plastic spritzer bottle (Basic but Lush make a big thing about their boring, basic packaging with all the recycling business). After …

Geeta’s premium mango chutney is authentic Indian chutney made from fresh mangoes and is sweet-smelling which I’ve bought from Tesco supermarket. I actually bought it this month to try it as a dip for the papadum that I’ve made at home. One thing I could personally say …

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 …

Tostitos are not good! Whenever …

I will start this review by pointing out that Bisto Gravy Granules do not actually contain meat and so are suitable for vegetarians like me. I deprived myself of gravy with my (vegetarian) bangers and mash for years and years because I assumed that Bisto contained some kind …

Frito Lay hands down makes the best sun flower seeds. Their brand of barbeque flavor is simply amazing. Most sunflower seed companies use mostly a salt flavor for barbeque. Not this brand, of course they use salt as a main ingredient, but the flavor is a sweet barbeque. …

For the purpose of juicing and dieting, I had been looking for a good vegetable juice. Recently I am consuming F&N fruit tree fresh. I tried this flavour, fruit and vegetable mixed with wheatgrass and I kind of like it. No sugar was added so it was …

Nowadays, all bottled drinks are loaded with calories, carbs, and sugar. But leave it to Coca-Cola to come up with Coke Zero. This new product is a great alternative to unhealthy soft drinks. It has zero calories. This is great if you are on a diet. I have …

This beverage is truly unpleasant. I bought it because it sounded like a nice refreshing beverage to cool me down and quench my thirst. Boy was I wrong about this yucky drink. I have to tell you that the packaging is not that impressive, but I …

These Hostess Donettes - Powdered Sugar variety are much, much more tolerable than the downright hideous chocolate variety that I simply could not possibly stomach. While I did just say they are much, much more tolerable, I did not say they were excellent, or even great. The powdered sugar …

Eating is one of my past time and eating chocolates is one of my favorite food to eat. Toblerone is one of my favorite chocolates of all time. Eversince I was a kid I would always request for my dad to send me Toblerones.

The first time I had a taste of marmite was that when a friend of mine gave me toasted bread with marmite and butter on top and my first impression was that I don’t like it at all. When I saw it the first time I thought it …

Unlike the pineapple and blackberry varieties of the Hostess pies, this strawberry variety is unfortunately a lot more like the apple and cherry varieties. That means that the filling, in my opinion, is not as authentic and rich as it should be. It has an artificial flavor to it …

This is one of my all-time favorite submarine sandwiches. It is not very big but it is very filling. The sandwich is about seven or eight inches long and cut in half. It also tastes very good. The Chocolate Factory is on the second floor of the Grand Avenue …

Captain Crunch Cereal has been around unchanged for several decades. It is easy to see why when you taste it. There are other forms of Captain Crunch (Peanut Butter, Crunch Berries, even a chocolate one now) but the original Captain Crunch cereal, in the red box, remains the best.

I love Cherry Coke for its unique, slightly fruity and at the same time very “coke-like” taste. Whoever came up with the idea to add some cherry syrup into Coke was a genius. The two mix together nicely and create a beautifully refreshing drink. The touch of cherry is …
