Mother’s energy drink
Mother’s is a caffinated energy drink that is availiable here in Australia. Having been a bit addicted to energy drinks since I was in highschool I thought I’d give this one a try. I do very much like it. Mother’s is sweeter than a lot of other energy drinks, …
Giant Pretz Tomato Biscuit Sticks
I’ve always been a fan of Pretz Tomato Biscuit Sticks. They don’t taste like tomato at all, but the onion and spices embedded in these biscuit sticks give them a delicious taste. The taste is like vegetable crackers, but better! It doesn’t have MSG like most salty Asian snacks. …
Little Debbie Creme-Filled Orange Cupcakes
These Little Debbie Creme-Filled Orange Cupcakes really are not all that bad. Be prepared for a slight sharp flavor when your first bite into one of these! The orange flavor is really quite strong and good as well as authentic, and the cupcakes themselves are fresh, moist and fluffy. …
Satay Sauce
I love Satay Sauce very much. If you go to any hawker stall to order Satay food, make sure that the stallholder does include Satay Sauce together with your Satay dish.
That is a must in everything. The most favorite flavor that I love about Satay Sauce …
Go Nuts Teazzings
I had cravings for a donut just a while ago and well, being with a friend, I took the opportunity to actually grab a bite of a donut or two. We ordered at Go Nuts Donuts, a local donut food chain here in the Philippines. I had a peanut …
Mars Ice Cream
I know we are approaching winter but I am reviewing the Mars Ice Cream anyway because I buy this in for my freezer all year round, they are so delicious. They are basically small choc ices —“ shorter and fatter than Mars bars —“ with the same milk …
KABBALAH ENERGY DRINK SUGAR FREE
Move over Red Bull, there’s a newer, cheaper player in the energy drink market.
Actually, the differences between the two products is not really all that pronounced, but the slight variation between the two products is noticeable.
Kabbalah is stronger in taste. It does not have the ultra dull taste sugar …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Cookies & Creme Cakes
I actually enjoyed these Little Debbie 100 Calorie Cookies & Creme Cakes more than I thought I would! I expected the amount of flavor found in these cakes to be subdued and hindered by the fact that they are a reduced calorie snack, but I must say that I …
Stouffer’s Cheese Manicotti
Stouffer’s Cheese Manicotti is a very enjoyable cheesy pasta meal that I like to have a couple of times a month. Although there is technically more cheese and sauce than noodles, I nonetheless find the triple flavor combination to be scrumptious and satisfying. The three cheeses offer up a …
KFC Wrapstar
Every few months, KFC introduce a new product to their menu. Since they tend to advertise these quite heavily, and suggest you order them when you’re at the counter, I usually buy the new sandwich (or drink) and check if it’s edible. Sadly, with KFC’s latest product, the so-called …
A and W Root Beer Soda
The A&W food chain has changed a lot over the years of its existence. I must admit I long for the good old days, but that’s not what this review is about. The one thing that this restaurant is primarily known for is its root beer. …
Twinings Camomile Green Tea
Twinings has the best line up for flavored green tea. It is my favorite brand of tea and surprisingly it has lots of flavors in their website as regards green tea variety. Sadly, only jasmine, mint, lemon and earl grey flavors are sold here. One of my favorite kind of …
Right’s Bakery Ginger Bulla
I can most definitely say that I am not and have never been a fan of my country’s famous bulla cakes. However, these days I still eat them regardless of the fact if there is nothing else in the house that I can consume as a snack when I’m …
Mott’s Applesauce Natural (46oz jar)
Although individually wrapped applesauce cups are really convenient, I like purchasing the big jars because they are more environmentally friendly - less waste and reusable jar. I had been buying a specialty organic brand because I had a hard time finding applesauce that didn’t have added sugar, but I …
Sprite Soda
So when we run out of juice drink in the fridge, our alternative to it is to buy Sprite Soda. I must say, that in preparing lunch and dinner,drinking soda or a juice drink is a good match.I can’t live without it. Hence, in choosing what soda to partner …
Angelica’s Bakery Lemon Cake
After seeing another one of her other cakes, I wanted to try this one. Though, I’m not crazy about lemon flavored food items, this cake actually turned out to be the best. The frosting can be a little sweet for some but for me it was just fine. However, …

Entenmanns Assorted Donuts
I have always enjoyed the pastry items Entenmanns makes but had never tried their assorted donut selection. The box of donuts includes a dozen which consist of chocolate covered, powered sugar and a clear glazed donut. The chocolate covered and powered sugar donuts did not let me down and …
Parkview Bratwurst
Whenever I buy any sort of product from Aldi, I don’t expect it to be very high in quality. After all, I shop there to get the best price and sometimes have to sacrifice something for that.
But, when I bought bratwurst from the brand Parkview, I didn’t expect to …
Kahlua Liquer Drink
I’m not a big drinker. I have some health issues which mean that one or two drinks is pretty much my limit and that is one of the reasons I like Kahlua. It’s the perfect drink for every now and then.
Firstly the taste of Kahlua is pretty …
Lays Kettle Cooked Mesquite BBQ Extra Crunchy
Lays Kettle Cooked Mesquite BBQ Extra Crunchy are potato chips that I will not purchase again for a couple of reasons. First of all, this potato chip just strikes me as being too sweet. I feel that barbecue should not be this sweet. I also found that the sweet …

You’ve probably heard of Haagan Dazs ice cream and probably have tried it before. If not, then well, you’re missing out. Haagan Dazs is a great brand of ice cream. Not only do they have unique, gourmet flavors but they also have regular flavors. No matter what flavor you …
Happy Farms Snackin’ Cheese Colby Jack Natural Cheese

Cappuccino K plus
I never buy K plus product because they are products made buy a big discount chaine called Konzum and they usually suck because they are of a very low quality like most discount brands. So if you ask me why I bought this K plus cappuccino my answer would …
Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
I use condensed milk to sweeten up my porridge on mornings and was very accustomed to using a different brand of condensed milk so this may be why I found “faults” in Eagle Brand’s Sweetened Condensed Milk.
I first encountered this brand of condensed milk while on vacation. It’s not …
Pillsbury Grands Frozen Biscuits
Pillsbury Grands Frozen Biscuits are delicious and quite large, too! I have three with my dinner once a week and boy do they ever add the meal! I alternate between these three varieties: Buttermilk, Butter Tastin’ and Flaky Layers. The Buttermilk Grands are so soft and flavorful, the Butter …
Great Value Fish
As I have written before, I typically enjoy Wal-mart’s in-store brand Great Value. But, after trying many of their products and seeing no difference between them and brand names; I have finally found one that just doesn’t compete.
Great Values breaded fish fillets have to be the worst fish fillets …
McDonald’s Angus Snack Wrap - Bacon and Cheese
On a spontaneous whim today, I decided to drop by McDonald’s, which I almost never do, and try one of their Angus Snack Wraps. There were three versions available and the one I went with was the Bacon and Cheese. It looked good and sounded tasty.
This product …
Great American Cookies Double Doozie
If you have read my previous review of the Great American Cookies’ products, then you will see how it doubles in this review. When I was in the mall where the Great American Cookies are sold, I would always see this sandwich cookie but for whatever reason I always …
Halls Sugar Free Honey and Berry Cough Drops
I’m a diabetic and when I have a cold, the whole world can’t stop for me. I need to find products that I can use quickly and ones that don’t take a lot of time to start working. Since my sugar always has to be kept under control, there …
Aquafina Peach Mango flavored Water
This is the best flavored water I have ever had. It doesn’t leave a nasty taste or a after taste in your mouth. It doesn’t even taste like water at all. Every time I buy some it goes really quick. Every time I drink it, I end up drinking …
Deja Tea
Lately, as the weather has gotten warm again, I have found myself craving Iced Tea.
I’m a bit too lazy to make it myself so I always settle for the canned varieties that are out there. But, that gets expensive so I look for the best tasting at the cheapest …
Big Mo Chocolate Caramel Candy Bar
I managed to snag the Dale Earnhardt Junior Big Mo Caramel candy bar a few weeks before the candy hit the shelves. I’m a big NASCAR fan, so I couldn’t wait to try it. Oddly enough, I don’t care for Dale Earnhardt Junior at all, but I still wanted …
Stouffer’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Stouffer’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce is nothing all that spectacular or special. I bought it once and was moderately satisfied with what it had to offer to me and then I tried a few other of Stouffer’s frozen pasta meals and I have never felt a need to purchase …
Hormel Compleats - Chili n’ Mac
Readers of my reviews will know that I’ve slowly been experimenting by trying out the various Hormel Compleats lineup of products. As a whole, I’ve enjoyed the meals, even though I see room for improvement on just about all of the them. Teh latest variety that I’ve …

Pillsbury Grands! Homestyle Blueberry Biscuits

Dean’s Vanilla Ice Cream
My family loves Dean’s Vanilla Ice Cream. This ice cream is exceptionally rich and creamy and the vanilla tastes natural and not artificially sweetened. Dean’s has been around for a long time and it’s a trusted brand in my family. The 1.5 quart container of vanilla …
Pizza Hut Lasagna
Friday night, I decided to surprise my wife by ordering from Pizza Hut for delivery (it arrived a few minutes after I got home). Since we aren’t big fans of their pizza, I ended up ordering some of their pasta instead; including their lasagna.
It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t …
All Nuts Original Roasted and Salted Peanuts
We did not actually buy the All Nuts Original Roasted and Salted Peanuts, but we got them when someone who we know returned from their long stay abroad. At first, the blue label had me fooled that it was actually a tin of Planters Peanuts, but it was …
Jell-o Gelatin - Lime
Jell-o Gelatin - Lime variety is a flavor that I like to have every now and then. The company did a pretty impressive job taking the lime flavor and injecting it into this gelatin! The lime flavor is quite authentic and real, and the flavoring does not at all …

Lay’s Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
There was once a time when Doritos, Ruffles, and Pringles ruled my snacking and/or lunching experience. But over time, I began to be drawn to more natural flavors and textures. Suddenly chips with too much salt or seasoning weren’t that appealing to me. I think the …
Aspen Cider Spices, Original Spice Blend
This exceptional, original spice blend is a marvelous mix of sugar, dextrose, extractives of cinnamon, cloves, annatto, lemon, orange, nutmeg, and caramel color. Now I do not want to daunt you, but although annatto is commonly used in food, it can cause allergic reactions to some sensitive people; however, …
Burger King’s Big Fish Sandwich

Fruit Pastilles
