Baker’s Corner Fudge Brownies Premium Brownie Mix
One of the products I use to make brownies is Baker’s Corner Fudge Brownies Premium Brownie Mix. The mix comes in a 1 lb box, with a protective bag inside to keep the mix dry. It is very easy to cook brownies using this product, and they always turn …
Little Debbie Snack Pie - Cherry
I find these Little Debbie Snack Pie - Cherry variety to be far superior to the apple variety. Where as the apple variety lacked real, authentic apple flavor and just seemed to have an overall dull flavor, this cherry variety is quite rich in precisely the flavor it should …
Flavourite Supreme Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich
One Sunday, along with the chocolate lovers drumstick ice cream my brother bought for each of us, he also bought a “Flavourite Supreme Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich” for us both to share. When I used to eat ice cream a little more regularly, I was not a huge fan …
Michelina’s Lean Gourmet - Pepperoni Pizza Snack Rolls
After eating my very first Michelina’s Lean Gourmet product, I really wasn’t expecting much from their Pepperoni Pizza Snack Rolls. In fact, I never would have purchased this product, or the other two I did at the same time, had I been aware that Michelina’s is essentially Weight …
Tofutti Ice Cream
At one time in my life I dated a vegan. He, of course, did not consume any dairy products. That took a lot out of dating…like getting ice cream together on those summer nights! He did, however, introduce me to Tofutti ice cream. It’s actually a dairy-free frozen …
Cadbury’s Wispa Gold Chocolate Bar
I thought the Wispa Gold was new but apparently it is back by popular demand after being introduced as a limited edition Wispa some time ago. This is basically a Wispa bar with a layer of caramel just underneath the top layer of chocolate and can be differentiated …
Mikado —“ Strawberry and cream milk chocolate
Although I am not a big fan of chocolate with strawberries about a week ago I saw this all new collection of Mikado Summer Edition chocolates and I bought all three of them. The first 2 were apricot and cream and lime and cream and I was expecting the …
Ferrato’s Meatballs
I recently purchased a bag of Ferrato’s Meatballs the last time I was at our local Save-a-Lot store so I could use them in my spaghetti later in the week.
I used them last night and was pretty impressed with the overall quality.
The meatballs lacked a bit in terms of …
Stewart’s Root Beer Soda
Stewart’s Root Beer Soda is a beverage I first tried just this last year, in 2008. It’s a costly item, so it’s something I only purchase when on sale, and then only occasionally. Where I live, on sale it’s $3.00 for four bottles, so it’s definitely premium …
Banquet Frozen Dinner: Macaroni and Cheese Meal
Banquet Frozen Dinners are known for being inexpensive. You can buy them in almost any supermarket. I usually go shopping at Pathmark and they always have them there. They are the cheapest frozen dinner I can find in Pathmark. They usually cost only a dollar …
Sprite
Soft drinks are gaining daily in popularity and two companies Pepsi and Coca Cola are the major players in Indian market. Honestly I prefer coca cola over Pepsi as cola products are much more stronger in taste, Pepsi has a sweet kind of flavor which isn’t very good to …
McDonald’s restaurant (UBC location)
This particular McDonald’s restaurant is almost always busy, probably because of its location on a university campus. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it’s still a fairly clean location. (I’ve been in some McDonald’s restaurants that were not). So it’s your standard bright and cheerful McDonald’s (although it …
Ben & Jerry’s Pistachio Pistachio Ice Cream
I had bought a pint for only about $5 of Ben & Jerry’s Pistachio / Pistachio Ice Cream and this was a new flavour in our supermarket and I was very eager to try it out! I do love their flavours and there isn’t really a flavour that I …
Dillman Farm - All Natural Blueberry Butter Fruit Spread
Dillman Farm - All Natural Blueberry Butter Fruit Spread is a flavorful spread that I sometimes like to add to my toast or bagels. The spread has a real rich and real blueberry flavor that I can taste as I am eating my breakfast or toast and even after …
Dr. Pepper Soda
How does anyone drink a Dr. Pepper Soda? I’d really like to know because I can’t stand this beverage. Now, I love their commercials. I grew up with ‘he’s pepper, she’s a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a pepper, too?’ Unfortunately for the Dr. …
Uncle Ben’s Fast & Fancy Broccoli & Cheddar
Here is something that practically almost never happens, or actually never happens- the meal in real life looked actually better than the photo on the package. And it tasted great too. I still can’t believe that.
I tried it the other day when I was to too tired to too …
NU green tea
NU green tea is a bottled green tea available in my country. It is supposedly a healthy drink, full of benefits from the green tea itself. Although I don’t know how much benefits you could get from drinking a bottled green tea, as from my knowledge, any …
Hoodia Water
To be honest, I’m not big on dietary supplements or anything in that vein, but I decided to try Hoodia Water. I’m not a fan of pills anyway, so this product grabbed my attention.
Each bottle is 1 fluid ounce, and that’s a 1-month supply. What you do …
Black Licorice Soda
Black Cat Licorice is one of the special edition holidays sodas from Jones Soda, meaning that you’ll either love it or completely hate it like I did. I was hoping that this would be a little different and more like the red licorice flavor they released in the past, …
Get up plus energy drink
I like energy drinks not because of their pick up effect but because of the taste. All of them, cheap and expensive ones have that sweet bubble gum taste which I like. I rarely buy those expensive energy drinks like Red Bull, or Red bat because I’ve found much …
Kraft Dinner Macaroni and Cheese ( Original )
I have been trying to look for a ready-to-cook macaroni dish for breakfast or for snacks. I come to find something from Kraft. This product is contained in a small box, and contains 210 calories per serving. I often wonder what is the difference of this product from the ordinary …
Swiss Miss Triple Chocolate Dream Pudding
When I was in school and my parents packed me my lunch, often times, a pudding cup would make its way in there for dessert. I’m pretty confident I went through quite a few pudding cups as a child, certainly far more than I do as an adult now, …
Kowloon House’s Jumbo Siopao
In my search for a quick snack after work while everyone is asleep, I came across a small siopao store. The only one in the whole commercial strip near our place that has their lights on, with a sign board saying “Open 24 Hours”. I feel relieved, although I …
Recheks Food Pride M&M Cookies
I’m not sure why my parents insist on buying our daughter junk food whenever they go to the store. But, our house is full of various sweets that we rarely, if ever eat.
One of their most recent purchases for her were M&M cookies from the Recheks Food Pride bakery …
Nutella Single (FerreroRocher)
»Nutella« is possibly the most widespread and most beloved among of the products of the Italian company Ferrero Rocher. It is certainly long-lived, too: it was originally invented in 1949. It is a creamy »chocolate-hazelnut« (the description varies, depending on each country’s laws about advertising) spread that many like …
Roti Jala (Lacy pancakes)
Roti Jala or also known as Lacy Pancakes are very thin-like pancakes and they are also pretty lacy, and hence the name of lacy is given. ‘Jala’ means fishing net, and if you look closely, you will see the designs of something like a fishing net.
This is a very …
La Croix Sparkling Water
I have consumed sodas most of my life. In an effort to restrict my calorie intake, I switched from sweetened soft drinks to artificially sweetened soft drinks but I reevaluated that decision as I investigated the use of artificial sweeteners. It seems, according to several studies, that artificial sweeteners …
Pumpkin Flavored Hershey Kisses
I have a major sweet tooth. One that keeps me craving for chocolate most of the time. During the Halloween season I tried a new kind of Hershey’s kiss that left me craving more than one. It was a taste that I had never experienced before from a Hershey’s …
Merinda drink
Merinda is the name of a cool drink which is very tasty. The color of this drink is orange. It also tastes like orange fruit. This drink has fewer amounts of gas and chemicals, so it also suits for kids and elders. My kids love …
Werther’s Original Caramel Chocolate Milk
I was a bit surprised by Werther’s Original Caramel Chocolate Milk, but I think that was probably my own fault. I was in a hurry when I saw a package of these on sale at the grocery store and just gave it a cursory look before tossing it …
Nestle Nesvita Chocolate Cereal Drink
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that is a known fact however there is only small percentage that eats breakfast and not just coffee. Honestly, I’m not a morning person and sometimes I skip breakfast and rather have brunch instead. I’d love to eat and …
Farmland Honey & Maple Sausage Links
I mentioned in another review that my wife decided to make a pancake breakfast on Saturday. To go with the pancakes, we decided to make some sausage links and ended up cooking Honey and Maple Sausage from the brand Farmland.
They were OK but not great.
First, they tasted nothing like …
San Miguel Light Beer
During week end friends are gathered together to have fun, specially Friday or Saturday night. This is the only time for us to get together and bonding of course for the whole week of working. We are all girls so its hard for us to get too drunk. Good …
Knorr soups
Who does not like to sip the tasty, tasty, hot, hot soup? All kinds of soups are my favourite ones. I am a great fan of soups. Actually I used to spend a lot of money to have the soups in the costly restaurants before. …
Jacobs Ice Coffee (instant)
I am lover of instant coffee. To be more precise, I like it strong, sweet - and preferably cool. And yet, I am not a great fan of iced coffee… with the exception of one single brand: Jacobs Ice Coffee.
I have noticed there are two “ice coffee” produced by Jacobs. …
From the Crockpot - Pumpkin Pie Pudding
Crockpot Pumpkin Pie Pudding is a delicious pudding that I really look forward to when the autumn season comes to town! The pudding is so very tasty that I just love to take a spoonful and let it rest on my tongue and give my taste buds the opportunity …
Starburst Tropical Fruit Chews
I haven’t had Starburst in a long time, possibly even years, until my brother bought a pack for me recently. I enjoyed it too, even though I’m not usually a fan of many fruity and chewy sweets especially since sometimes some of them seem a bit too sweet to …
Midnight Mercato
Midnight mercato is a midnight food market located at the Fort Bonifacio area, near the Home Depot which opens on weekend nights from around 9pm to 3am. It is composed of an air conditioned tent which has a lot of tables and chairs, as well as a few …
Johnny Rockets’ Rocket Wings
While visiting the U.S.A. recently, I stopped in at one of the Johnny Rockets diners for lunch one day. Johnny Rockets diners have the theme of a classic American restaurant that has a very cool vibe and friendly staff. It makes you feel as though you are …
Arcor Butter Toffee with Chocolate Center
I first encountered Arcor’s Butter Toffee with a Chocolate Center when I was going to high school. This is one of the best toffees I have ever come across in my life. I don’t think any other toffee would beat it back, they can only come close.
I am chocolate …
Snyder Of Berlin Plain Puff’N Corn (Hulless)
I just love these. I remember my Grandmother serving them to us kids because she was afraid we would choke on regular popcorn. We loved it then too. This delicious salty and buttery snack is the alternative for getting popcorn kernels and their skins stuck in your teeth, tastes …
Hormel Compleats Spaghetti
Recently, I tried Hormel Compleats Spaghetti with meat sauce. I’ve always enjoyed Hormel products and feel it is a quality brand with a taste I enjoy. Since spaghetti is my all-time favorite food, and this promised a meal in 90 seconds, I just had to try it.
The …
Hamburger Helper Four Cheese Lasagna
A product of the Betty Crocker Company, Hamburger Helper is a line of skillet dinner mixes that come in a variety of flavors. This was the first time I tried the Four Cheese Lasagna flavor though I have tried a number of other …
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Original Syrup
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Original Syrup is just about the most flavorful and rich syrup that I have ever tried, although I think Log Cabin, at times, alternates with this brand for my most favorite syrup. Both have a deep, rich flavor to them and both are a fairly thick syrup. …
Nescafe Original
It is interesting that Nescafe make different types of coffee in different countries. I didn’t realize this until I bought some recently in Spain and found that it was a stronger blend than the one we buy in Britain. Of course, it could be that it is due to …
Tang Orange Juice
Few months ago, flu has caught many people. I have always known that a good defense against this illness is to have plenty of fluids and take lots of fruits with Vitamin C. And so, I decided to go back to what I am used to during meals, and …
Alpine Sterilized Full Cream Milk Drink (Reconstituted)
I was looking for Nestle Sterilized milk at Mercury Drug convenient store when I came across Alpine Sterilized milk. What I know with Alpine is the one in purple and in can. This is the first time I learned that like Nestle they already have one that is in …
Food Club Graham Crackers
Again, I was out shopping for snacks for my daughter’s kindergarten class and ended up picking up the cheapest snacks I could find. One of those snacks happened to be Food Club Graham Crackers.
I have already commented about the snack crackers from this brand, which I wasn’t impressed with. …
