Orville Redenbacher’s Pop Up Bowl

Nestle Kit Kat
Of all the ingredients that are combined with chocolate to make confectionary, wafer is my least favourite addition and I would usually prefer nuts, biscuit or caramel. But for some reason I love Kit Kats and I think it is because the chocolate is so thick that it …
Sara Lee Gourmet White Hot Dog Buns
This brand is just everywhere now so it’s of little surprise to me that one of the products I’m now purchasing with some regularity is Sara Lee Gourmet White Hot Dog Buns. On the plus side, there aren’t any artificial colors or flavors, and there’s no trans fat …

New York Style - Spicy Three Peppers

Gatorate Thirst Quencher in Twist Top Bottle
I prefer to purchase Gatorade Thirst Quencher specifically in the 24 ounce twist top bottles. The regular bottles with the removable caps are more difficult for my small children to manage. In addition they are not so easily re-usable and tend to make a lot of mess. …

Steak ‘N Shake Fish Sandwich
I love the Fish Filet sandwich at McDonald’s but my waistline suffered the consequences. It doesn’t have any fresh vegetables and has three artery-clogging ingredients —“ cheese, fried fish, and tartar sauce. I wanted to see if there was a better fish sandwich out there that was …
Quaker Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Ever since I started this new job that I’m working at right now, I’ve been eating very unhealthy, which I know is really bad especially since I’m always under a lot of stress. I’m constantly eating all sorts of junk food, which I realise can be addictive since even …
Bagel-Fuls: Cinnamon Bagels
Bagel-Fuls: Cinnamon Bagels proved to be a disappointment for me. The main reason I was drawn to this product is because it had the word “cinnamon” written on the box. Well, let me just say that there is just enough cinnamon to be found in these little loaf like …

We ended up having a leftover turkey dinner last night and, to go with it, my wife made some Birdseye Freshlike brand Green Beans.

First, they just didn’t seem to cook …

Hamlet The Cigar
I am not a cigar smoker who has the —˜packet habit’. That term may not mean anything to you, but it’s a symptom of cigarette smokers’ behaviour. They have that little packet out of their pocket with great regularity and out comes another coffin nail. Cigar smokers tend to …
Izze Sparkling Lime Mint Mojito Beverage
I had the fortunate opportunity to try Izze Sparkling Lime Mint Mojito Beverage, one evening when shopping in my neighborhood ninety-nine cent store. I am no stranger to the Izze beverage, and did not hesitate to place a couple of bottles in my cart.

I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter margarine
I grew up in Wisconsin. Here, it is state law to serve butter in restaurants unless someone personally requests margarine. So, I’ve always been a bit of a skeptic when it comes to the quality of the latter.
However, my wife, who is from the East Coast, isn’t a big …
Itsy Bitsy Cookies

Maltesers, lovely balls of chocolate and almost perfectly made for women and children. Very similar to Kitkat in away, only this time you do not have sticks of biscuit covered in chocolate, you have have a lighter biscuit that is in the shape of a ball. As much as …
Banquet Turkey Pot Pies
It used to be that, when I needed a quick and easy dinner, I could rely on Banquet Pot Pies. That’s no longer the case.

Heinz Tomato Soup
I’ve grown up in the UK, and it’s been instilled in me from a young age that Heinz soups are the best! Heinz prides itself on its high quality and natural ingredients, and this tends to be reflected in its prices.
The famous adverts that used to show …
Fritt chewy candy orange
I rarely eat candies because I like chocolate and biscuits much more, but sometimes when I see something in the store that looks tasty I just can’t resist it. That was the case with Fritt chewy candy orange. Actually there were several different tastes, like cherry and strawberry but …
