Wrigley’s Extra Cool Watermelon Gum
Wrigley’s has been one of my favorite brands of chewing gum for quite a while, so when I saw the new Wrigley’s Extra Cool Watermelon I had to check it out. I was not disappointed. The flavor may be a little too strong at first, but it quickly subsides …

Numi Jasmine Green Tea- Organic Monkey King
I like my green tea, and specifically Jasmine green tea for its delicate floral aroma and flavor. I’ve been drinking the stuff for at least ten years now. I have also become hooked on the effects of the caffeine in green tea which is different from coffee. I don’t …
Yogurtland (Berkeley, CA)
Yogurt Land was a place that I had often heard of, but I assumed it was because it was a new place and people who were “yogurt crazy,” but did not trust that it was legitimately good. When I first tried it however, I was proven wrong. First of …

Sugar Free Wannabe Cupcake from Just Delicious Bakery
This sugar free, deep chocolate, cream filled cupcake is called a Wannabe because of its resemblance to a Hostess Cupcake, but the resemblance is only superficial.
A package of Hostess Cupcakes has two cakes in it, actual weight about 4 ozs. I would always eat them both, doesn’t everyone? …

Mrs. Freshley’s Cinnamon Cake Donuts
I do not care for Mrs. Freshley’s Cinnamon Cake Donuts as much as I do for the cinnamon mini donuts. I like the cinnamon mini donuts more because they seem to have more cinnamon and also, they are a smaller size, so it is easier for me to take …
Lyons Golden Syrup
Lyons Golden Syrup has long been used and loved in the homes and bakeries of Europe to add a rich, sweet flavor to their confections and recipes.
It has the thick consistancy of honey but has a rich, buttery sweetness that is distictly its own.
I have used this product in …
The Co operative Cornflakes
These cornflakes are from The Co-operative’s own brand, called ‘Simply Value’. When I saw this big bag of cornflakes (500g) for only 48 pence I thought it was a bargain. I have been having a big bowl of this for breakfast every morning since and I think …
Skinny Cow Ice Cream Cones
I love my ice cream, and I’m serious about wanting it to taste good. However, as I get older I find myself being more and more health conscious. Sitting down to a big bowl of calorie-laden ice cream isn’t as viable as I was when I was …

Kroger Cinnamon Waffles
These waffles from Kroger are kind of bland. There certainly is some cinnamon flavor baked into these waffles, but it’s not enough to win me over. The cinnamon becomes particularly difficult to taste when I add a butter spread and syrup. Even if I skip the syrup, which I …
Knorr Asian Sides Classic Chow Mein
This is a mild-flavored pasta dish that is made by Knorr. It’s not a particular favorite of mine because there’s not a whole lot of taste to it, but the one time that I purchased it, I enjoyed it enough to finish the two side dishes that it made. …
Clover Valley All Purpose Flour
While I like many products in the Clover Valley family, this one is simply horrible! There is something seriously wrong with this flour; although I can’t say exactly what it is the cause - perhaps because it is “bleached”? That does seem to be the main difference between this …
Lean Cusiene Mac and Cheese
I really love the taste of mac and cheese, but when I’m on a diet, I can’t justify the calories and fat in taditional mac and cheese, so I don’t wat it, Then I discovered this great low fat mac and cheese. I’m not sure exactly what they do …

Sliced Smoked Nova Salmon
I guess one has to be accustomed to cold smoked fish in order to appreciate Sliced Smoked Nova Salmon. My husband obviously isn’t, he refused even to try it when I had purchased this small 3 oz pack. He took one look at it and said, “Blah, sushi.” I, …
Chief Black Pepper

RitterSport Ciocco-Duo

Almond Breeze Almond Milk by Blue Diamond
I started drinking Almond Breeze by Blue Diamond, it’s milk made from Almonds and tastes different from soy milk and also doesn’t have the added estrogen which I thought would be ideal for my husband.
They currently offer Plain, Vanilla and chocolate. I love them all quite honestly. I rotate …
Simply Organic Pure Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract or vanilla bean seems to be such an unimportant thing, when you see it in the list of ingredients, but it’s not and there’s a big difference between the vanilla flavor or Vanillin and the real vanilla extract. I didn’t realize that until I actually got myself …
Dempster’s Flax Bread
This is the first and last time I will buy Dempsters Flax Bread. The packaging boasts that this bread is 100 percent whole grain;a source of omega-3 and also has the health check from the Heart and Stroke Foundation. None of those qualities can redeem this bread.
I had …

As I have made a review of McDonald’s Ice cream sundae on a cone, I will also make a parallel review of the Jollibee’s similar sundae on a cone too.

Wendy’s - Double Stack

L’oven Fresh Hamburger Buns
Eight hamburger buns for just seventy-nine cents is a price and value that I can’t pass up. L’oven Fresh Hamburger Buns may not be the largest hamburger buns, but they fit my needs just fine. If I have a hamburger, I don’t mind if some of the hamburger meat …
Milo Energy Drink
I really love chocolate flavored drinks. It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold, as long as it’s chocolate I’ll surely like it. Among the many chocolate powdered drinks, it’s Milo energy drink that I like. It’s inexpensive and it tastes great even if it’s ice cold or hot. …
Clorets Chewing Gum
There are many different “fresh breath” gums out there but by far I think the most effective bad breath fighter is the little green chicklet sized gum squares made by the Cadbury-Adams company called “Clorets”. This gum has an ingredient called Actizol that is supposed to be very …
Morrisons Milk Chocolate Ovals
These Milk Chocolate Ovals from Morrisons own brand can be described as a downmarket version of that confectionary I have not had for ages called, I think, Minstrels. If I have got the name right, Minstrels are those flattish milk chocolate buttons covered in a shiny, hard candy …
Hostess The Flash Cakes
There’s really nothing all that notable about Hostess The Flash Cakes. Although the cupcakes may look attractive, they’re basically nothing more than Hostess Cupcakes with food coloring added as well as sprinkles. For the most part, Hostess The Flash Cakes and Hostess Cupcakes taste exactly like, with the only …
Happy Harvest Peas
We made a steak dinner last night and planned on having corn on the cob to go with it. However, we only had four ears of corn; not enough for our family. So, my wife made another vegetable to go with it, peas from the brand Happy Harvest.
These were …

Cottee’s Coola Lime Flavoured Cordial
I have been drinking Cottee’s flavoured cordial since I was a young child. Even now as an adult, I find that I still drink it on a daily basis. I don’t really like plain water on it’s own, so I find that Cottee’s cordial is the perfect …
McDonald’s restaurant (UBC location)
This particular McDonald’s restaurant is almost always busy, probably because of its location on a university campus. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it’s still a fairly clean location. (I’ve been in some McDonald’s restaurants that were not). So it’s your standard bright and cheerful McDonald’s (although it …
Nescafe Chocolate Flavored Coffee Mix (Choco Fudge)
My family loves coffee and tea. But we are lazy to prepare one from scratch and so we make do with prepared coffee or tea mixes. My mother loves to buy Nescafe Chocolate Flavored Coffee Mix in Choco Fudge while I prefer hazelnut flavor. When I ran out of …
Pop-Tarts Splitz
I am a big fan of Pop-Tarts pastries so I decided to buy the new half chocolate, half strawberry Splitz box. Previously I enjoyed both chocolate and strawberry flavors, but I wondered if it would be a good combination if they were mixed. The pastry itself has chocolate filling …
