Baci Perugina White, pralines by Nestle

Starbucks Via Ready Brew, Italian Roast
I don’t really go to Starbucks anymore, but when I did I was always into their dark roasts like Sumatra or Italian roast. I haven’t had instant coffee in even longer, because it isn’t the best tasting coffee usually. Instant is something I felt I had moved on from. …

Stouffer’s Harvest Apples

Selecta Creations Young Coconut Ice Cream 1.7L
This is the best young coconut ice cream I have ever tried. I bought it from the Filipino store for Canadian $11.99. I guess this would make it a pricey ice cream, because Nestle and other brands are much cheaper.
However, I do have a weakness for the company …
Smuckers Uncrustables peanut butter & jelly sandwiches
Smuckers uncrustables have been around for a few years if I remember correctly. When I first saw them I thought they were a completely pointless idea. I was like why would anyone want to spend around $5 on a box of 10 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches when you …
