Sometimes we are blinded by imperial mentality that we believe the good tasting coffees are from Starbucks, Maxwell or Folger’s. I had this thinking before until I tried Coffee Break. I have an aunt who is based in Saudi Arabia and she sends us stuffs from there. One of the …

My aunt just got home from the US and brought home some of these Dole All-Natural Fruit in Light Syrup. It’s in a plastic jar of 695 grams of fruit slices. She gave us two different flavors, Mixed Fruit in Light Syrup and Sliced Peaches in …

Jell-o Gelatin - Peach variety is one that I only have every so often. I am not much of a peach eater, but I do have one from time to time. I am the same way with this gelatin, I simply have it from time to time. The peach …

I was recently able to try one of Campbell’s Chunky soups - their microwaveable Chunky Jammin’ Jerk Chicken with Rice & Beans Soup.
I’m not a big fan of Campbell’s Chunky soups nor am I one who likes super spicy foods, so I was hesitant at first to try …

So I stopped by Rollerz at the New Park Mall today to get an Icee drink. I think this place is really cool, they have just about everything at Rollerz. They have ice cream cones, fruit smoothies and my personal favorite Icee’s. Now they prices are kind of expensive …

As an avid snack indulger, I enjoy the treat of a fine soft pretzel any time, any day. So when I happened upon Auntie Anne’s I decided to take advantage of my snack craving and give in to my stomach. At the time, they were running a deal: half …

It is interesting that Nescafe make different types of coffee in different countries. I didn’t realize this until I bought some recently in Spain and found that it was a stronger blend than the one we buy in Britain. Of course, it could be that it is due to …

Choc-Nut Milk Chocolate is probably the all time favorite chocolate of Filipinos. Eating a bar of Choc-Nut would lead to one more and more and more. This is a unique blend of grinded peanuts and chocolates in one bite sized bar. For me it is just one bite …

I do not know a single person, adult or child, that hasn’t at least heard of Hershey’s chocolate or strawberry flavored syrup. But up until recently, I didn’t know that there was such a thing as Hershey’s Caramel syrup, which is the same as previous strawberry and chocolate syrup, …

I feel that the Roseland Center Cut Pork Chops are of high quality because of the flavor they offer and the tenderness of the pork chops when I cut and bite into them. These pork chops aren’t dull in taste and I don’t really add much to them, so …

What a delicious and healthy breakfast and/or snack Honey Nut Cheerios makes! The honey flavor is very real and rich, but I would not say this cereal is super sweet. The cereal is quite crunchy, even after it has been in milk for a while. This is a whole …

I do wish that the Cloverhill Bakery Apple Danish had a richer cinnamon flavor to offer to complement the apple flavoring, but unfortunately, this danish falls somewhat sort when it comes to the cinnamon. At times, I had a difficult time tasting the cinnamon and that left this pastry …

I have to say, after trying so many different brands of orange juices, this is definitely the best tasting, most natural brand and my go to brand. It seems to run a little but pricier than other brands of orange juice in the store, however there are often …

Although individually wrapped applesauce cups are really convenient, I like purchasing the big jars because they are more environmentally friendly - less waste and reusable jar. I had been buying a specialty organic brand because I had a hard time finding applesauce that didn’t have added sugar, but I …

It’s been a long while since I last had a kola champagne flavour of soft drink in any brand to be quite honest. But I remember that when I was younger I loved this red mixture which they fondly call kola champagne.
Well just yesterday I once again had the …

First of all, Gevalia does have a good product, at least most of it is and I love the free 12 cup coffemaker I received. I specially like the fact that I do not get an acid refulx from drinking it, but they sent out a special Christmas Coffee …

Winking Owl Vineyard’s Shiraz wine is sold by Aldi’s supermarkets. It retails for 2.99 a bottle. I was curious to try this because you never know if a bottle of wine that retails for 2.99 will be any good.
I have had some low cost wines that werent.
I can attest …

I was at a friend’s BBQ several months back when I had the opportunity to try a new kind of soda called “Stars and Stripes”. I really enjoyed the pineapple soda that I had and I was very curious as to where she had gotten these sodas. …

Although I generally don’t find myself choosing 7up as a first or even second option when I’m buying soda, there is still that rare moment over a period of time when I’ll crave one. The reason why I don’t necessarily crave 7up a lot is because first of all, …

The Fit & Active Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches come six to a pack for two dollars and ninety-nine cents each at ALDI Food Market stores. They are a low calorie and low fat alternative to another ice cream sandwich product also carried at ALDI Food Market stores, namely the …

My experience with Texas Pepper Works Queso Blanco White Cheese Dip - Mild was not at all pleasant. I seriously could not stomach this stuff it was so positively bad. One chip with this dip actually ended up being much too much for me. The reason I dislike this …

Coca-Cola or Pepsi? Marketing surveys have made this a well-known question. Since I have drunk Diet Coke from a time before I can remember, I choose Coca-Cola. My grandfather used to buy cases of regular Diet Coke and caffeine free Diet Coke and give them out to everyone who …

The photo on the package looked inviting. Lasagna noodles with veggies stuffed in between and a nice-looking red sauce graced the top of the entrée. I had another Kashi frozen dinner before and had enjoyed it, so I was inclined to give the Tuscan Veggie Bake a try.
After having …

Wendy’s - Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty is a flavor combination that I thought I might like, but ultimately found out that it was a flavor combination that just did very little for me in terms of exciting my taste buds. The coffee syrup that is a part of the …

Recently at a wedding I was served what I later found out was Yellowtail brand Chardonnay. When I first sipped it, I thought it was flat champagne (bad comparison) because it had somewhat of a “bite” even though it wasn’t sparkling. The wine wasn’t sweet, but was …

Henry Weinhard’s came out with an India Pale Ale not too long ago, and, for a refreshing price, this is a refreshing ale. Henry Weinhard’s Ale line has attached to it a famously low price for a rather decent beverage. This is common knowledge throughout the Northwest. …

I enjoy having the Old London JJFlats Flatbread - Garlic be it plain or with a topping spread out across the top of this tasty bread. I find this bread pleasant for more than just a couple of reasons. For one, I think that the bread has a fairly …
