St. Mary’s Plantain Chips (Original)
Ever since I first tasted it some years ago, I have loved plantain chips. However, what I soon realized was that not every brand of plantain chips tasted good. After trying the particular brand of plantain chips, I found that St. Mary’s Plantain Chips is one of the …

Chick-fil-A Side Salad
The Side Salad at Chick-fil-A is a great option for those that simply would like a decent sized salad to go with their sandwich and not a large salad with chicken in it. The side salad is just that: something that is meant to be eaten with something, while …
Betty Crocker Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Betty Crocker is a brand name that I know and trust, but they really dropped the ball with their Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
I am an extremely, 100%, die-hard, number one fan of this spread: the Nutella Hazelnut Spread. And I’m not being overly dramatic when I say it’s like heaven inside the mouth. It’s just so smooth, creamy, tasty, and it has just the right sweetness. The only downside is that …
Chick-fil-A Sausage Breakfast Burrito
Chick-fil-A Sausage Breakfast Burrito is exactly like the chicken version, except that instead of the chicken, there is sausage. Everything else about the burrito is unchanged. Aside from the sausage, if you were to take a bite into this burrito, you would find scrambled eggs, onions, peppers and two …

Mrs. Freshley’s Chocolate Mini Donuts
I will not be purchasing Mrs. Freshley’s Chocolate Mini Donuts a second time. The reason I will not be purchasing the donuts a second time is because although I do like chocolate, these chocolate donuts do not have a real rich or scrumptious chocolate flavor that I was looking …

Sainsbury’s Eric & Friends Fruit Gums
Sainsbury’s Eric & Friends Fruit Gums are basically kids’ sweets, but that doesn’t stop me from eating them sometimes! That goes double as they are really very inexpensive - a 75 gram pack costs just 39 pence, and the supermarket usually offers a “buy three for a pound” deal …
