What I like the most about “Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Spanish Style” is that the rice is both soft and flavorful. I dislike rice that comes out tasting hard, and quite thankfully that’s never a problem I’ve come across with this brand. Every spoonful is smooth in texture in …

At my local Publix I was walking through the aisle where I saw a bag of chips by Doritos called late night burger. I was curious to see what a burger chip tasted like so right when I got into my car after shopping I opened the bag and …

I remember the commercials so well. A young boy and his father entering a candy store, and the boy being rewarded with one of Werther’s Originals. It was portrayed as something very special, almost a rite of passage and a bond between parent and child. Yet, …

I stopped at my parents to borrow a couple things I needed for chili last night and, because they weren’t eating them and knew we would, they sent home part of a box of Eskimo Pies with me.
I got a chance to try them and I have to confess, …

Great Value Seasoned French Fries are indeed a great value - a two pound bag for just two dollars and twelve cents cannot be beat. Unfortunately, the fries themselves are not that spectacular. After cooking them for the recommended amount of time at the recommended oven temperature, the fries …

Not being a particularly avid chocolate consumer I only discovered these venerable French bonbons (the factory, while backed by big capital now, has been in operation since 1922) only two years ago, while shopping for my aunt who IS a chocolate addict.
I’ll admit the first thing that made my notice …

I must say, Mrs. Freshley’s Cremey Curl Honey Bun is certainly an interesting variety that I did not think existed! This honey bun really does not even look like something I would have for breakfast, and that is typically when I eat honey buns. Inside this honey bun is …
