Just like the apple variety, the french apple pie made by Hostess is truly nothing to get excited about at all. Just as the apple variety boasted a somewhat artificial flavor as well as a dull apple flavor, this french apple variety does exactly the same thing. This is …

Recently I bought some Brach’s candy corn while I was at the grocery store. They had it out with other candy for Halloween. Brach’s candy corn was pretty cheap. It was also pretty good especially for the price of it. You get a pretty big bag of candy corn. …

I’ve been a vegetarian for quite a while and because of that I know how many foods contain gelatin. I have learned to check the labels and ingredients lists and it’s crazy how many foods actually have gelatin hiding in them. It’s different yogurts, chewy candie, gummy bears, chocolate desserts, …

The Banquet Salisbury Steak frozen meal comes complete with Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and corn, all for one dollar. The fact that all this food can be sold for one dollar should be a big hint as to the quality of the food. Still, curiosity can be a mighty …

Being on a budget, I sometimes have to opt for off brand sodas. Not all of them are up to par. Kroger’s Big K Cola may be the best of the worst.
Ice cold, these colas are not bad. They taste the most similar to real Coca …

Arnott’s Shapes is …
