This European rolled wafers with chocolate hazelnut filling tastes so good. The chocolate is evenly distributed that you really can taste it in each bite. The wafers are perfectly made. It looks like the thin sheets of wafers were rolled to form a stick, making it a bit thick …

It is a real shame that the only thing different and unique about Mrs. Freshley’s Valentine’s Day: Sweet Treats Pink Snowballs is the pink food coloring that was added to give it the typical Valentine’s Day look. I had been hoping that something special had been added to the …

Stagg, I’d like to note in passing, has started putting their chili out in a cardboard Smart Pak, which is probably cheaper than cans and easier to open too - but you do need scissors or a knife.
The County Brand is decently flavorful, and seems to use good meat …

I am reviewing Wrigley’s Orbit White Bubblemint gum. You can now buy this in the “BigePak” which is a circular shaped container. It is less than $3, and you get quite a bit of gum for that price. This particular size would be good to throw in your purse …

I like the idea behind these cereal bars because there is a lot of nutrition packed into just one of these bars in the form of calcium and vitamins and the bar itself is easy and not too messy to have even if I only have time for a …

Dentyne ice gum is okay, but I enjoy other brands, like Extra much better. The flavor of this gum, peppermint in this case, is really nice and flavorful for a little while, but the taste fades pretty quickly in this brand. I do not know why they …

This is a very …

I was a little disappointed with this Pasta Sides creation. I found the bacon bits to be lacking in flavor and thus they pretty much went unnoticed by me as I ate the macaroni side. The rich and gooey cheese that coated the macaroni pretty much wiped out what …

I really like ginger root. I always ad it to my food and also to the teas that I am making but ginger root can be very expensive and it does not last for a long time. Sometimes I buy it when it is not discount and it just goes …

I really like blueberries so when I saw that Orbit has made a new chewing gum with the taste of blueberry I just had to try it. But was a great disappointment.
This chewingum comes in regular Orbit packing of 10 chewingums. The Packing is purple with dark blue letters …

Great Value is the store brand used by good old Wal-Mart, and they\’re products are usually pretty tasty (in fact often times they are the same stuff you’ll buy in the name brands, just in a different box), so I decided to give the Great Value wheat crackers a …

The Goldfish Baked Snack Crackers is a product by Pepperidge Farm.
I know that sodas can eventually be added to dishes to spread out flavor but I didn’t know crackers can actually be a match to spice up the flavor on dishes. I was really surprised when my friend bought …

This ‘Crunch Duo Mix Muesli’ yoghurt from Tesco was only cheap at about 35 pence but it is really gorgeous. I have eaten this as a snack and I have taken them to work to have as a breakfast as they are ideal. As you peel back …

Aquafina Bottled water has a fine product but I won’t be buying this until they change the bottle design! The bottle is nothing short of horrible! It is virtually impossible to open it without it leaking and not just a drop or two..it leaks a lot. I’ve …

This 2004 California wine really packs a punch! This Pinot Noir is not bitter to the taste, but has a very high alcohol content for a red wine (13.5%). I suppose that is why it’s cheaper. At any rate, the wine has a sweet but woody …

De Wafelbakkers Janssen & Meyer: Holland Waffles are definitely different from Eggo waffles and other waffles sold in the grocery store! These waffles are square and large, and heavy too! I would say that I would have to eat two Eggo waffles just to feel as full compared with …

I am on this insane mostly protein diet. And for whatever reason I decided I wanted to start it in November. One huge caveat to this amazing idea I had, I love the holiday flavor coffee you can get from starbucks or Panera or any of those places. Problem …

The first time I tasted Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew it took my breath away. It had a very strong ginger flavor and was delightful. There is little comparison between Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew and regular ginger ales. Store brands, Canada Dry, and Scheppes, are pale imitations of what a …

Miller Chill beer is light 100 calorie beer that has a slight lime flavor to it. We bought it at Target for 10.00 for a twelve pack. This beer is really good if you like lime flavor. It reminds me of a light corona.
