I hadn’t had Skittles in a while; probably a good three or four years. I remember eating a ton of them back in the day. I couldn’t “taste the rainbow” enough, I guess, and when I did, I’d find myself riding quite a sugar high, followed by the inevitable …

Still, I continue to purchase some of the Aunt Jemima products off and …

Because my New Year’s resolution this year was to lose thirty pounds, I’ve been trying to find healthier alternatives for snacks. Since I’m a yogurt addict anyway, I figured that I would pick up a few Yoplait Light yogurts. Just as I grabbed them and was ready to load …

Coffee has always been a good ritual drink in the morning or perhaps anytime of the day. I sometimes use ready-to-drink mix where Nescafe has famously produced several varieties like “unsweetened”, “decaf” or “strong” as they call it. The good thing with ready mix is that it is spill-proof, easy …

Of all the places I could have found this item, guess where I found it; the dollar store. I figured if it wasn’t great I only wasted a dollar so no harm no foul. I’m always still so surprised when I see great brand name items that obviously do …

This is by far the grossest yogurt drink ever made which surprises me because yoplait for adults yogurt is delicious and quite healthy. I purchased a 6 pack of this yogurt drink in strawberry flavor because it has Dora the explorer on the bottles, and what kid does …

Campbell Gourmet Bisques Golden Butternut Squash is one …

Great Value: Butter Flavored Pancake & Waffle Syrup is a decent syrup that is manufactured by Walmart, so the syrup is actually the cheapest syrup that can be purchased, if I recall correctly. By no means is this syrup the richest or thickest that I have ever tried, but …

I have tried several OnCor frozen food products, and our family likes them all: Lasagna, Salisbury steaks, and now these “barbeque ribs.” They are not real ribs, of course, which is clearly stated on the box: they are pork patties, shaped in the form of ribs, but they taste …

General Mills Fruity Cheerios is one of General Mills more recent Cheerios creations. It seems they just keep coming up with new kinds of Cheerios! Fruity Cheerios didn’t sit well with me though. I personally thought that the Fruity Cheerios were much too sweet. I couldn’t eat too many …

Not so much a food as a beverage, but Dr. Pepper should sound familiar to anyone that knows anything about soft drinks. It’s got a really potent flavor: a mix of sweet, sour, and even a miniscule dose of bitter. This taste is really unmatched in the realm of …

I’ve been having some constipation problems because of my ulcer medications and the doctor advised I drink tea instead of coffee. Green tea is best he said, because it helps the digestive system as well as works as an antioxidant. So after 30 minutes of going back and forth …

The container of this mint really caught my attention. It does not look like the ordinary mint or chewing gum. It is on a slim rectangular tin container. You need to slide the tin container in order to open it. It’s purple with a mold of a human body …

Rold Gold Pretzel rods are one of my favorite of the long (about 7 or 8 inches long) pretzel sticks that were traditional in my childhood years. These are not the little, thin pretzel sticks; these are the longer thicker sticks.
In terms of taste, I really like the …

This hot sauce is indeed hot! It burns and doesn’t quit burning for a few moments. I like that I don’t need to pour it on, either. A little will do! That being said, it’s not just hot, but flavorful too. The flavor of the sauce reminds me of …

General Mills Boo Berry cereal is a very sweet cereal. There’s far more sugary sweetness than berry flavoring to this cereal, and that was disappointing. There’s some blueberry-flavored cereal pieces, but the blueberry flavoring is so faint that the moment that I taste the blueberry, it’s gone. What is …
