Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage
Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage is merely a decent breakfast meal. It could most certainly be tastier and a higher quality, but as is, it is edible and mildly enjoyable as long as I add a few things to the meal, like scrambled eggs and a bagel. Only then …

Chef Boyardee Minis Macaroni and Cheese

Happy Farms Deluxe American Cheese Slices
Happy Farms Deluxe American Cheese Slices retails for three dollars and thirty cents for twenty-four slices. It’s a good cheese that I have no complaints towards, but it’s a cheese that I won’t be purchasing again simply because I can get the same exact cheese and the same number …
PayDay Candy Bar
PayDay Candy Bars make me think back and remember my childhood. It’s a weird kind of symbol of happy family times. No, my family didn’t sit around eating PayDay Candy Bars, but they were one of my mom’s favorites, and I loved them, too.
PayDay Candy Bars are …

Hormel Natural Choice Carved Chicken Breast

President’s Choice Extra Rich Hot Chocolate Mix

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Belgian Milk Chocolate

Marlboro Mediums
From first appearances, a box of Marlboro Mediums looks very similar to Marlboro’s trade mark flavor, Reds. Unfortunately, that’s where the similarities end because unlike Reds, Marlboro Mediums are horrible cigarettes.
Lacking the classic flavor of full flavored Marlboro reds, Mediums were dry. When I say dry, I …
McCain Steak Fries
I purchased these steak fries once, but I won’t be coming back for seconds. The problems I had with these steak fries resulted in me not caring too much for them. For one thing, I had to be careful to either make all big fries or all small fries …

Hamburger Helper by Betty Crocker
I’m not a huge hamburger helper meal lover. I’ve tried the no name hamburger helper meals and decided in the future I would pass. This one the Family Size Lasanga Hamburger Helper by Betty Crocker was actually pretty good.

Hungry Man Original Fried Chicken Dinner
Before I discovered Hungry Man dinners, I was skeptical about TV dinners because they advertised a particular type of meal and all I tasted was paste and saw dust. To be frank, I would have been better licking a chalkboard for dinner. It wasn’t until my mom came home …

Lambertz Exquisit Biscuits, Donna Vollmilch

Mrs. Freshley’s Apple Cinnamon Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar

Calzones at the J
The “J” cafeteria at Humboldt State University serves calzones for lunch every tuesday. A calzone is like a small pizza without the sauce that is folded in half and closed, so it’s like a big home-made cheesey pizza pocket. The cost is $1.10 with a meal plan …
