Hershey’s Cookies N Cream Milk is de-li-cious! I have tried a lot of breakfast shakes, milkshakes, protein shakes, and other milk products, but none stand a chance against Cookies N Cream. The taste is similar to that of the Hershey Cookies N Cream candy bar. Besides the …

I tend to eat out of the vending machine at work way too often. When I find myself looking for something to eat I am usually left with little or no healthy alternatives. Torn between purchasing chips or a candy bar I discovered Elfin Crackers. Elfin Crackers are essentially …

Stouffer’s Harvest Apples make for a relatively delightful side dish or after dinner treat. The reason I use the word “relatively” is because I believe that these apple slices could stand some improvement. Where the improvement could be made is in the flavor. There is not a great deal …

I do not like these Little Debbie Peanut Butter on Toasty nearly as much as I enjoy the cheese and peanut butter crackers made by Little Debbie. After eating the cheese crackers, these plain crackers just taste, well, plain. There is not much to them other than they are …

You know how sometimes with potato chips when you eat the first one, you think, hmmm, this tastes weird. And then you eat a few more just because, hey, the bag is open?

RC Cola, for me, takes the middle spot between Coke, the expensive brand name, and Sam’s Cola, the cheap Walmart alternative. RC Cola has a very distinctive “cola” taste, different from Coke and not so mild as Sam’s. The price falls right in between the two as well: A …

I am being particular when it comes to preserved canned foods. It has to meet my quality. When I check on the canned goods, I have to read the expiration date and the external properties of the can. It should not have bend sides, because when you see that …
