One thing that I like about the brand Hilo is that they have released a few good quality products and sold them at a price that is lower than any other brand at most Hilo supermarkets I have visited islandwide. However, there are still one or two Hilo …

The Surya branded noodles are the worst noodles, which I have ever tasted. The surya noodles come in very attractive packing along with the tastemaker inside. The cost of these noodles is Rs.20 in India. But the quality of these noodles is not good at all. …

I have a history of making lumpy gravies. I’ve tried sifting flour into it, adding little bits at a time etc and have not once succeeded in making a gravy that is lump free. Knowing how much I struggle with my gravies, my grandmother recommended trying Wondra …

I did not actually buy this myself, but received it along with other toffees which someone gave me recently. I was planning to give them away at first since I am not as big a fan of most toffees since I find them too sweet for my liking. However, …

I had never bought Cadbury’s Original Drinking Chocolate before recently because I always used other types of hot chocolate or cocoa powders to make my drink in the morning or night. I was prompted to purchase a canister of Cadbury’s Original Drinking Chocolate after looking at a recipe for …

Amul processed cheese is my all-time favourite. I use this fresh and tasty cheese for my bread and paratha and sometimes I eat it as a whole because I love it. I love all the products from the company Amul. Amul is such a great company …

A friend of mine said that he had a new drink he wanted me to try, some kind of margarita. But I noticed that he didn’t have any tequila, any limes, nor a blender of any sort. The drink that he wanted me to try was Cuervo …

I’d like to think that I am making an effort to follow a healthier diet but sometimes I crave chocolate like you wouldn’t believe. I fear that one day I will be caught red-handed and covered in chocolate like the tubby kid in Willy Wonka’s factory.
…

I absolutely love to save money. Really though, who doesn’t? One of the best ways to save money is at the grocery store. Food prices are so high though that this task can be difficult. I have seen a huge dip in my grocery budget by buying generic products. …

This European Foootball Championship is really great time for beer producers. The championship takes place during the summer so there are so many men who will spend hours and hours in front of the TV. My father’s favourite beer is Heineken Beer, when he was working in Germany he …

I enjoyed this pistachio bar from the Jannis brand, but really I think it would have been better just buying some whole pistachio nuts and I probably would have got more for my money. This snack bar cost me a very expensive £1.55 from Tesco supermarket and I …

I am a huge rice fan, and in the past I have bought many Uncle Ben’s products, including rice ones. Recently on the television I kept seeing the commercials for the Bistro Express Indian Style Curry with Basmati Rice and I have to admit it looked really tempting. The …

I like trying the many varieties of bread and this is the first time I have tried —˜honey’ bread. These submarine rolls were really delicious, with the light flavour of the honey giving the bread a unique taste.
These come in a packet of two, large submarine …

This is a breakfast sandwich that didn’t agree with my stomach. The bits and pieces of sausage in the biscuit were gummy and tasted undercooked and as a result didn’t taste good. When I cook sausage patties on the stove, they certainly don’t come out tasting like this. For …

I am a major fan of tea and I love trying new varieties of this beverage. Whenever I see a new variety I have to get my hands on it! When I saw this variety of green tea made with peach and mangosteen flavorings, hence the “superfruit” label, I …

I’m what you would call a loyal user of the brand of Betty Crocker. Usually I go for the cake mixes and hamburger helper kits but this time around I had the opportunity to their brand of Mac and cheese. I found it interesting that they would have a …

Dillman Farm - Natural Peanut Butter is quite creamy, tasty and, well, expensive. This peanut butter costs more than pretty much any peanut butter I have seen sold in the grocery stores. For a seventeen ounce jar, I have to pay almost seven dollars! That is quite a lot …

I do not have sugar cookies too often, but when I do, I generally pick up Krusteaz Bakery Style Sugar Cookies at the grocery store because these cookies, much like their other cookie mixes, do not disappoint. The sugar cookies that come from this mix are quite buttery and …

I don’t really enjoy eating biscuits or crackers that much. But one biscuit sandwich that I really enjoy is called Hansel. This is a biscuit sandwich that is locally manufactured and made by the Rebisco group. This is a soft crunch biscuit (good for those with teeth problems) that …

So, I was at my mother’s house the other day and she and my sister were discussing the New McDonald’s Frappe drinks. Apparently they received free coupons in the mail to try them with. Immediately I thought how unfair, I didn’t receive any free coupons. Low …

While a vast majority of people in America would likely be able to identify what a Twinkie is, I suspect quite a few of these people would be surprised to learn that the Twinkie is fast approaching its one-hundred year milestone. In just fifteen years from now, the Twinkie …

Asia Brewery, Inc. was primarily known as a beer manufacturer in competition with San Miguel Corporation. It has since ventured into other kinds of drinks and one of them is Feelgood Juice Drink.
I am not so naïve as to believe every marketing scheme out there but I am not …

I’ve always been a big fan of the Airheads line of candy. These bars are similar to taffy, very sweet and a little sticky but with a good chew. I’ve always seen them in the big form, either individually or in a package of mixed flavors. I usually grab …

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, …

Inside the brittle chocolate coating is a mouth-watering, sweet, softy and creamy ice cream with caramel toppings. Wow! This is really what I can call a perfect chocolate treat and what I am talking about is the Snickers Ice Cream Bar.
I am not fan of consuming imported goods but …

Every so often, it’s nice to pop a tic tac into my mouth, either because I like the flavor of a refreshing mint or because there is a taste in my mouth that I want to do away with. With it being the Christmas season right now, there are …

Aquafina Bottled water has a fine product but I won’t be buying this until they change the bottle design! The bottle is nothing short of horrible! It is virtually impossible to open it without it leaking and not just a drop or two..it leaks a lot. I’ve …

Yesterday I bought Bigelow Red Raspberry Herb Tea to help soothe my upset stomach and it seem to work really well. Plus I really liked the taste of it. It was sweet and tangy and I didn’t need to put any honey into it.
The way I made the …

The reason why I bought Oishi Berri Plunge is its packaging. It has a cute packaging; the color is pink with red lettering. The color looks appealing to me maybe because I am a girl. There is a picture of the flakes on the packaging; however, it does not …

It is a real shame. These Blue Bunny Doubles Ice Cream Bar Smores could have been a pretty tasty treat, but unfortunately, the ball was dropped by Blue Bunny here. The main complaint that I have is the marshmallow flavor is really not that strong. It is actually on …

This enriched thick-sliced bread is so versatile I keep several loaves in my freezer at all times. Being low in fat and with no cholesterol, it is a good choice for diet conscious consumers, as well.
These extra thick slices are perfect for a hearty open-face sandwich, as a …

Chex Mix Select Snack Mix Dark Chocolate comes in a five point five ounce bag and sells for two dollars and seventy-nine cents a bag. I personally think the price on this snack mix is too high even though I did find the snack mix to be relatively enjoyable …

Good Sense Roasted & Salted Sunflower Nuts come in a resealable plastic bag. I bought a 10 oz bag for something like $1.38, which I thought was a good price. The nuts come already peeled, so you won’t have to worry about that (although I know some people who …

I just did another review for Pizza Hut WingStreet Wings, a product I’d just purchased for the first time. I really don’t know why I decided to buy the chicken, but I suspect a part of it was seeing these Pizza Hut WingStreet Wedge Fries advertised on their …

I found myself wandering the snack aisle at Wal-Marts yesterday and marveled at all the new choices of snack cakes and treats. Since I often pack a few items in my son’s backpack and he always ignores anything I consider healthy, I figured I budge a little …

Every so often, you find that something comes along which is perceived as being just a standard product and no one thinks anything of it. Only when it is about to disappear do people start to realize just how lucky they were. That is the case with this whisky. …

There are so many local breweries in Asheville, North Carolina, and I finally got to try one of Highland Brewing Company’s seasonal brews: their Thunderstruck Coffee Porter. I really like porters and darker beers in general, and this beer is definitely a good solid porter.
I first tried the beer …

I am not a huge fan of fresh juice, but when it was on sale in the nearest grocery store, I was tempted to purchase a huge bottle. I saw the BERRI brand of Mixed Fruits juice. This came in a huge plastic bottle. This was a 2.4 Liter …

My daughter just woke up from her nap and, since she hasn’t eaten anything since breakfast (it’s now 2 in the afternoon), I went looking for something for her to eat.
She wasn’t really eating her lunch (she ate part of it but the cat kept distracting her), I decided …

Drinking juice instead of softdrinks or sodas is a good and healthy option. I know that sometimes we are getting tired of drinking water. But since drinking enough fluids everyday is very important, a juice drink may be one of good choices. When it comes to powdered juice drinks, …
