Ever since I got pregnant, I have been thirsty a lot. Since I can’t drink sodas, I am forced to drink only water and juices to keep my pregnancy weight in line. I recently went to the supermarket and saw this new juice drink from Tropicana. I grabbed one …

The first thing that I have to say about this product is that it is cheap but also incredibly good. I like cheap stuff and I usually try out new stuff only because it is cheap, sometimes, actually in most of the cases, cheap stuff are of mush lesser …

Ozarka Natural Spring Water is a good, bottled water. Not the best bottled water that I drink, but better than tap water out of the facet, and definitely better than most competing brands. Some people don’t care for Ozarka Natural Spring Water, including members of my family, but I …

I admit up front that I’m not much of a health-conscious eater. I grew up on junk and processed foods, so most of the ‘good for you’ foods just don’t agree with my taste buds. Last year, though, I became acquainted with the Corazonas brand. It’s …

What I really like about the butter rolls is the rich and …

I liked that this instant …

It’s a …

Well, this product did meet those two criteria, it was cheap …

Have you ever tasted the Goldilocks Cassava Cake? It’s certainly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Its sweetness is just enough for those who like it sweet. It’s also tender and soft so it’s really a delight to eat. At the same time, you will taste the cassava …

The Nestle Toll House walnut …

I bought a bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce because that’s the sauce they have in my favorite Chinese restaurant. The bottle looked exactly the same, but the product turned out to be totally different. It did not have the strong, salty taste I expected. I don’t know whether the …

This is a very simple frozen meal, to be sure. I can’t even really say that it’s a meal even because just the amount of pasta that comes in a package isn’t sufficient to fill me up. When I had this frozen meal, I added a salad that I …
