Spumoni Ice Cream from Edy’s
The Spumoni flavored ice cream from Edy’s brand is a flavor that looks very appealing during advertising, but does not really deliver the sort of kick that I had expected it to. The three flavors in this ice cream sounded as though they would be a delicious explosion of …

Haribo Starmix Mini’s are tiny plastic bags of various Haribo jelly sweets (candies). All the kids I know love them, and quite a few parents do too, even though they probably don’t want to. So there is some truth to the jingle “kids and grown-ups love it …
The Co operative Hot Cross Buns

Mrs. Freshley’s Winter: Holiday Powdered Mini Donuts
Although there is really nothing all that spectacular about Mrs. Freshley’s Winter: Holiday Powdered Mini Donuts, I nonetheless find them to be a satisfying and delectable snack to have around the winter season.

Burger King Whopper

Jennie-O So Easy Turkey Parmesan
Because I’ve had some success with Jennie-O products in the past, I decided to try their Turkey Parmesan meal which is prepared under the ‘So Easy’ moniker variety. I knew it would be a 50/50 shot as to whether or not I’d like it because while some foods …
General Mills - Multi-Bran Chex

President’s Choice Crunchy Mixed Berry Cereal
When I bought the President’s Choice Crunchy Mixed Berry Cereal, I thought of it as a “poor man’s Special K”. Personally, I am not big on brand names (whether it’s food or clothing), so I picked up the PC brand instead of Kellogg’s.
The cereal is a mix of dried …

Wrigleys React 5 Sugarfree Gum
I am not a fan of any type of chewing gum, especially ones that are mint flavoured. Therefore, when one of my aunts offered me a pack of the new “Wrigley’s React 5 Sugarfree Gum” which I figured was going to be mint flavoured, I nearly refused it. Nevertheless, …
Truvia Sweetener
I tried Truvia sweetener because several low carb websites were singing its praises, and because I became concerned about the safety of other artificial sweeteners. Truvia is a blend of erythritol (a sugar alcohol) and stevia. I had never liked stevia on its own, so I was wondering …

Lean Cuisine Baked Chicken
I usually like Lean Cuisine meals, but this one was disgusting. I didn’t even finish it, and that’s really saying something for me! Lean Cuisine’s packaging describes this meal as “chicken tenderloins with cornbread stuffing & whipped potatoes.” There wasn’t one thing I liked about this meal, so let’s …
Fantastic Delites, Sweet Chilli and Sour Cream

Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Easy Fries Golden Crinkles
I tried the Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Easy Fries Golden Crinkles because they were supposed to be just as good as the regular Golden Crinkles, but could be cooked much quicker by simply sticking them in the microwave as opposed to the oven. All I needed to do was make …
Marie Callender’s Country Fried Chicken & Gravy
Marie Callender’s Country Fried Chicken & Gravy is another product I tried recently for the first time. While this variety isn’t a new one for Marie Callender’s, it was on sale, and I noticed that the gravy was provided in a pouch instead of mixed in.
I am not …
