Bacardi’s Rum Island Iced Tea

Michelina’s Vegetables & Stir Fry
This is a pretty good frozen meal that has quite a lot to offer in terms of flavor variety, but the main problem it suffers from is that there just aren’t enough vegetables tossed in with the rice. My wanting of more vegetables is partially a good thing as …
Post Grape-Nuts Cereal

Our Family Cola
We had a small get together at our house a couple weeks ago and, as is usually the case whenever we invite a lot of people over (mainly because nobody ever seems to show up), we ended up with a ton of food and beverages left over.

Haagan Dazs caramelized pear and toasted pecan ice cream
I’ve tried many of Haagan Dazs flavors but the most interesting flavor that I’ve tried was their Caramelized pear and Toasted Pecan ice cream. I know, the name is a mouthful and I wasn’t sure what to think of it. I enjoyed pretty much all of the Haagan Dazs …

Jell-o Gelatin - Margarita

Rockstar Mango Energy Drink
The Rockstar mango flavored energy drink is one of the worst of the energy drinks that I have had. The mango flavor is certainly much better than the basic taste of energy drinks like Red Bull, and although the mango wasn’t overwhelming, there was still a hint of …
