Bigelow Orange & Spice Herb Tea
Orange & Spice is probably one of the strongest Bigelow’s herb teas. It comes in orange colored teabags, with a personal message from David & Eunice Bigelow, the owners of the company, on the back (all Bigelow teas have that, and the message is different for every variety).

Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Butter Pecan
I am not too fond of Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Butter Pecan. The ice cream is certainly edible and to an extent enjoyable, however the butter pecan flavor is not really quite as rich as I was hoping it would be. I expected the flavor to be richer …
Ben and Jerry’s Cake Batter Ice Cream
I was intrigued by this cake batter ice cream and very curious about what it would taste like. It was released in 2008 as part of Ben and Jerry’s 30th “birthday” celebration (more like an anniversary, really).
Lately, I’ve become very interested in these ice creams whose flavors are actually …
Jell-o Gelatin - Lime
Jell-o Gelatin - Lime variety is a flavor that I like to have every now and then. The company did a pretty impressive job taking the lime flavor and injecting it into this gelatin! The lime flavor is quite authentic and real, and the flavoring does not at all …

Cloverhill Bakery - Cheese Danish
I do not find there to be anything all that special about the Cloverhill Bakery Cheese Danish, other than its size and freshness. The size of this cheese danish is most certainly impressive and it is bigger than most cheese danishes I have seen packaged in the grocery stores …
Popsicle Ice Age Slow Melt Pops
Three different kinds of popsicles come in this package: strawberry, cotton candy and lemonade-flavored popsicles. The one flavor that interested me the most was the lemonade-flavored popsicle because ice cold lemonade is truly a refreshing thing to have when the world is roasting outside. I figured that a lemonade-flavored …
Natural American Spirit cigarettes
Good or bad, I am a smoker that enjoys a good cigarette. For years, I smoked name-brands such as Marlboros and Camel products. Then one day, a friend passed me a cigarette I had never heard of. It was a “Natural American Spirit” non-filter. At first I thought it …

Pepsi Throwback
Pepsi is my vice (along with Spaghetti). I drink it all the time. I can’t stand Coke. As a child, my parents originally did purchase Coke, but when Pepsi really began to pop up, they switched, and we never looked back. Now what is funny …

7UP Nimbooz (lemon beverage)

McVitie’s Digestives (Biscuits)

Petit Danino yoghurt
Whenever we babysit my little cousins, we buy mini yogurt containers. We chose these, Petit Danino, because they are small so the portion size is a good one for little kids.
Obviously, buying them in the small size packs is not the most economical way to buy yogurt - …
Organic Soy Dream Lil’ Dreamers
Organic Soy Dream Lil’ Dreamers turned out to be positively terrible! These were just about the worst ice cream sandwiches that I have ever tried. What made them so bad, exactly? Quite simply, the flavor was horrid! Whether it was the vanilla ice cream or the chocolate cookies that …

Reasor’s Grocery Stores
I love Reasor’s stores. The kids they hire are friendly and more outgoing than the usual places. They are all dressed in their whites and jeans. However, the prices of everything in those stores are so high. For example, Totino’s pizzas are about 50 cents more than Wal Mart. …

Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding Cups Vanilla
The Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding Cups Vanilla come in a four pack for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. Although that works out to be about fifty cents per pudding cup, I don’t think these pudding cups are worth even that. Although I’m quite fond of vanilla, I don’t think …

Mrs. Freshley’s Pink Snowballs
