Irn Bru by Barr (a Scottish soda import)
Today I got to experience a soft drink from Scotland while having lunch at a new British-styled Fish and Chips shop. I already had English tea, but wanted something more. This particular brand was the only thing they had that was diet. They carry no products that originate in …
Tiramisu Meltdown Red Ribbon Cake
I never really liked cakes, and sweet stuffs. I bought this cake in a red ribbon store to celebrate with our friends and thought it would add glamour to our festivity. Having know that specialty cakes in Red Ribbon are a bit expensive, not for a regular get together …
Kiss Jumbo Hot Dog Rolls
Kiss is a local baking company here. They are the main suppliers of bread, cakes and a few other types baked goods. Well I am here to write about their Jumbo Hot Dog Rolls.

Hide and seek choco biscuits
The Hid and seek choco biscuits are something really special, because of it taste and small size choco chips hidden inside. As soon as we put a Hide and seek choco biscuit in our mouth it just melts and the hidden choco chips give the wonderful taste of …
Crying Tiger Ramen Noodle Soup: Pad Thai Flavor
I love Ramen noodles, whether it be during the colder months of the year or when I am sick and want something more than chicken noodle soup. Not only because it’s a cheap food that can be brought almost anywhere, but because it is convenient. There are many different …
Sainsbury’s Basic Muesli Breakfast Cereal
I like to review these bargain-basement cheap products as some of them are quite passable even though you would expect it to taste disgusting at the price. I bought a big 1kg bag of muesli from the Sainsbury’s Basics range for about 30p. This will keep me …
Wrigleys React 5 Sugarfree Gum
I am not a fan of any type of chewing gum, especially ones that are mint flavoured. Therefore, when one of my aunts offered me a pack of the new “Wrigley’s React 5 Sugarfree Gum” which I figured was going to be mint flavoured, I nearly refused it. Nevertheless, …
Cheetos Twisted Cheese Puffs
I usually buy Cheetos crunchy cheese curls and Cheetos Jalapeno cheese curls, it was my first time actually to see the Twisted Puffs along with the other Cheetoses I normally buy, and it was a bigger pack too so I bought a pack to try it at home.
I have …
Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted
The Creme Egg Twisted bar from Cadbury’s has been out since last year but I have only just noticed it so I had to try it. I adore Creme Eggs which I am sure you will be familiar with —“ white and yellow sugary fondant within thick, egg-shaped …
Jack-N-the-Box Sourdough Cheeseburger
Recently I had the chance to try the sour dough cheeseburger from the Jack-n-the-Box chain of fast food restaurants. I’ve had a similar burger from Rally’s and Hardees in the past so I thought it sounded like something familiar and yet a little different. The burger sits in between …
Arctic Zero Salted Caramel Fit Frozen Dessert
When I first came to America, first thing I noticed in the grocery store was the number of different types of reduced calorie foods. Also most of them used natural sugar substitutes, creating healthier versions of popular junk foods. Low calorie ice-cream seems to be the most popular choice and …
Always Save Canned Kidney Beans
In recent months, my family and I have purchased off-brand versions of products in an effort to save money on our grocery bill. We now have our favorite generic brands that we trust to taste good and be a good value. However, one brand we do not like is …
Jacquot Truffles
I bought a small box of Jacquot Truffles yesterday. Imported from France, these were supposed to be good! I couldn’t wait to get home and try them. Unfortunately, I was in for a disappointment: when I opened the nice golden box and the protective pouch inside, instead of truffles …
Inernational House of Pancakes (Ihop)
We were staying in Florida recently with family, and decided to go out for a meal one evening. As there were several young kids in our household, we decided that pancakes would be a popular choice. That was great with me, as pancakes are amongst my favourite …
Hostess Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Twinkies
While a vast majority of people in America would likely be able to identify what a Twinkie is, I suspect quite a few of these people would be surprised to learn that the Twinkie is fast approaching its one-hundred year milestone. In just fifteen years from now, the Twinkie …
Hormel REV #3 Peppered Turkey Wrap
I like Hormel’s line of wraps, for the most part. Sure, it would be more cost effective in the long run to go to a deli in a grocery store, buy some lunch meat and cheese, and then proceed to buy a package of wraps to make my own …
Dannon Activia Light Yogurt Fat-Free Strawberry Banana
Recently I was flipping through a health book on making better choices when you grocery shop and how it will help you stay as full as if you were eating your normal fattier choices and discovered that there were even degrees of ‘better, best and worst’ when it came …
Party Peanuts Albertsons
Albertson’s Party Peanuts was quite dry and did not well match with the name. Why should those peanuts be called Party Peanuts? The peanuts were salted but it was seemingly very powder coated. The salt powder particles in the hand were considerable and sticky. The price was not much …
Jell-o Pudding - Tapioca
Jell-o Pudding - Tapioca is quite good, although I am not as crazy about the tapioca variety as I am about the vanilla-chocolate swirl variety. The tapioca variety is certainly still good too, and the flavor is quite authentic as well as strong! The texture is pretty creamy and …
Nestle set curd
How many of u like to eat the curd. I love it. I always need the curd in my diet as it gives the necessary nutrition to our body and at the same time cools our mind. At the end of the meals I always take …
Hello! Wafer Bar
Enjoying a bar of Hello Wafer has been really a wonderful experience for me. The Wafer bar has a wonderful taste. It is crunchy due to the wafer, it is sweet too because of the chocolate coating; but then the vanilla filling I had tasted is a good combination …
Great Value Chicken Drumsticks
Great Value Chicken Drumsticks come in a plastic bag, easy to open and re-sealable. The 4 lb bag contains 10 ice glazed, individually frozen, ready to cook drumsticks. Being individually frozen, they are all nicely separated and never stuck together, which I like. The drumsticks are large and meaty. …
Printed Fun Pop Tarts - NASCAR
Printed Fun Pop Tarts are a limited edition product promoting the Hendrick Motor Sports racers in NASCAR. Actually, the shots for the promotion were done in 2008, though the product is just now available in early 2009. As a result, one of the four drivers isn’t actually …
Nestle Coco Krunch
As a mom, I want my kids to be healthy and active all the time. I manage to monitor whatever they eat and drink in regular meals and even at snacks time.
They used to like junk foods before and it worried …
Carl Jr’s The Big Carl Combo Meal
One of the reasons I haven’t gone to Carl’s Jr. all the much in recent years is because of their prices. Compared to other fast food places in the vicinity, it cost more there to get comparable meals. Nowadays, though, this west coast fast food restaurant finally …
Entenmann’s Pineapple Pie
Craving some pastry, I had recently purchased Entenmann’s Pineapple Pie at our local Walmart. It was small, only 4.75 oz a one-person size. The pie came nicely packaged in a white box with a picture of a pineapple on it and a plastic window that allowed to see …
Stouffer’s Chicken à la King
Stouffer’s Chicken à la King is meal that is fairly filling and also fairly tasty, too. The all white pieces of chicken found in this meal are quite good and authentic in flavor. With the chicken are mushrooms, onions, celery, peas, white rice and a creamy sauce. That is …
Equality Smooth Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is definitely a very popular product, especially in North America. Some people like it chunky, some people like it smooth. I definitely prefer the smooth variety. And this is one of the major reason why I love the Equality peanut butter. It is the smoothest peanut …

Nasi Lemak (Coconut Milk Rice)
If you are someone that have traveled extensively across Southeast Asia, and been to Singapore and Malaysia, you must have either taste Nasi Lemak (Coconut Milk Rice) or heard of it before a lot of times. We are talking about food galore here and Nasi Lemak, or also known …
Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Cheesesticks
Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Cheesesticks looked extremely appetizing on the box that they came in. They looked so good that I overlooked what I considered to be a somewhat unreasonable price for five cheesesticks. Two dollars and nineteen cents is cheaper than what other stores want for cheesesticks, although …
Gardenia White Bread Classic
I seldom eat breakfast. If ever I would, it’s something light like bread and chocolate drink. This is of the reasons why I don’t miss out on buying bread every time I go to the groceries because it’s something that I can just grab for a quick meal or …
Apple Toaster Pops: Amy’s Meal Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because if you skip breakfast your metabolism knows and what happens is that it slows down. This means that your metabolism will be slower the rest of the day and if you are trying to lose weight then you are …
Kroger Value French Fries
Kroger Value French Fries are regular sized French Fries, although they are not crinkle-cut. For me, that is fine. Crinkle-cut or non crinkle-cut, it really does not affect my enjoyment of the French Fries. These fries have a good flavor to them and since I cook them in the …
Heinz Baked Beanz Snap Pots
It’s only recently that I have started to eat Baked Beans. Why? Well for years I convinced myself I hated them. Full stop. Then my brother told me when he made beans on toast he melted grated cheese on the top..Mmm this sounded different.
Having tried it myself I …
Bornvita Health drink
Bornvita is a health drink, which is full of nutrition. Just last week I saw the advertisement of this product in the television and I thought of giving it to my children, as I wanted to change the brand of the health drink, which I give my children. …
Sweet Factory the World’s Smallest Jawbreakers
Sweet Factory “World’s Smallest Jawbreakers” are my favorite candies. They look just like jawbreakers but are the smallest made anywhere. I have seen them range from about 2mm to about 6mm. I like to chew them instead of suck on them because they are hard but at the same …
Fruit Juice Sticks candy
Some time ago before my brother went on his summer holidays, I was waiting for him to finish classes and since I was feeling a little on the peckish side, I ended up buying a fairly cheap and unusual candy to snack on meanwhile. The name of it that …
Smart Ones Three Cheese Ziti Marinara
If you are not familiar with Smart Ones Frozen Meals, then you probably are not trying to watch your weight or lose weight while enjoying the convenience of frozen foods. The Smart Ones brand of frozen meals are associated with the Weight Watchers weight loss brand. One …
California Berry Frozen Yogurt
California Berry is the best-tasting yogurt I have ever tasted. They have unique and healthy yogurt flavors such as blueberry yogurt, green tea yogurt, and the classic yogurt flavor. For a large-sized order there are only 55 calories! The large size is really big and it filled me up …
Gerber Graduates lil’ entrees for toddlers
While I avoid the isle in the store with the specialized individual sizes for toddlers I will gladly accept them when someone else buys them for me. I’m afraid they aren’t something that regularly fits into my budget. Recently I was given two for my daughter because a friends …
Echo Mint Chocolate Bars
I got addicted to a very similar chocolate bar from Marks & Spencers, but I started buying these —˜Echo’ bars from Wilkinsons as they are very similar but a lot cheaper, at 89 pence for a packet of 6 bars. These are quite a small size at about …
Wonder whole grain white bread
Wonder whole grain white bread was the substitute I found when I wanted whole grain bread without compromising on the taste and money. Wonder whole grain white is the cheapest of the white breads I found at Albertsons and snapped it without much of expectations any way. I thought …
PurAqua Purified Water
This bottled water brand is one that I have only spotted at Aldi, a store that carries primarily generics and off brands. Not only does this water taste pretty much the same compared with other bottled waters, but it is also sold at a price that is generally thirty …
Yogourmet Kefir Powder
While browsing my local health food store a few weeks ago, I came across Yogourmet’s kefir powder and decided to try it. I’ve tried store-bought kefir in North America, and it tastes nothing like the product I remember drinking in Eastern Europe. I was very excited to try the …
Hungry Jack Easy Pack Blueberry Wheat Mix
This “Easy Pack” mix suffers from two devastating problems that really add up to one big-time disappointing pancake mix. First of all, the mix calls for water and not milk, eggs and oil. Adding water as opposed to milk, eggs and oil ends up creating an inferior pancake. The …
Appy Fizz
I came across Appy Fizz during the last summer and since then I have become a sort of regular. Almost daily I drink a can of Appy Fizz. It is a drink which is made of pure apple.
Though there are many products in the market which claims to be …
Pop-Tarts Splitz
I am a big fan of Pop-Tarts pastries so I decided to buy the new half chocolate, half strawberry Splitz box. Previously I enjoyed both chocolate and strawberry flavors, but I wondered if it would be a good combination if they were mixed. The pastry itself has chocolate filling …
Beekay’s Cup Cakes
Beekay’s cup cakes are tasty and delicious.
It comes in a pack of 4 and rightly priced at Rs.10 per pack. So it is actually Rs2.50 per cake which is value for money.
The cake is not too big and just enough for one serve. You can munch it with your …
