I finally gave into the hype of Mountain Dew Kickstart beverage. At night while watching TV, I would often times see the goofy commercial about Mountain Dew Kickstart and then see the stands in grocery store with all the different flavors. The temptation proved to be too strong one …

There really is not anything all that remarkable about Entenmann’s 8 Rich Frosted Donuts. They are simply chocolate frosted donuts with a yellow cake interior. Simple is not necessarily a bad thing if the simple ingredients result in a tasty treat, but in this particular instance, simple is not …

Red Bull gives you wings, um not! I have to stay up late three out of five days and this drink does absolutely nothing to help. The taste isn’t bad, but why would I spend three dollars on a drink for its taste if that isn’t its selling point. …

My wife realizes I’m not a big Jeff Gordon fan so, as a joke, she couldn’t resist buying me the energy drink named after him. After trying them, I’ll be willing to admit they aren’t half bad. But, you won’t see me looking for them at the grocery store …

One of the brands that I have tried is Don Simon. The first good thing that I noticed about this orange …

I found my self smack in the middle of the dairy aisle the other day unsure of where to turn. It would seem that the more diet and fitness programs I study the more I agonize over sugar, fat, and calorie contents.
It’s getting so, …

These Hostess Donettes - Chocolate variety are downright terrible! The chocolate flavor that coats these donuts really does not taste like chocolate at all!
