Pancit Batil Patong Noodle Dish

Sour Skittles (Green Wrapper)

Banquet Chicken Nuggets Frozen Dinner
I’ve tried one or two Banquet frozen dinners over the past couple of years, and I always thought they were just okay. Given that they’re usually less than $2.00 per single-serving box, and when they’re on sale they’re about a dollar, I figured you get what you pay for …

Hungry Howie’s Large Pepperoni Specials

Log Cabin: Country Kitchen Original
Log Cabin: Country Kitchen Original is not quite as good as the original Log Cabin syrup. To me, there is a definitely difference in taste that while not extensive, still reduces my enjoyment of my breakfast somewhat. It seems with the Country Kitchen syrup, the syrup does not taste …

Co-op Apple and Blackcurrant squash

These chives from the Tesco range of seasonings are really rather good. A lot of people are turned off by jars of seasonings, especially dried stuff, and the rise in organic food and grow your own has no doubt turned people off this simple alternative, but don’t let that …
Florida’s Natural Premium Cranberry Ruby Red Grapefruit Cocktail
