Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
Growing up, I was a chocolate junkie. I still love chocolate, but I think I’m more finicky these days and I like a bit of variety with the chocolate. For example, instead of chocolate on chocolate, I prefer a white cake with chocolate frosting, or a chocolate …
Slim Fast Optima Chocolate Cookie Dough
Slim Fast Optima Chocolate Cookie Dough bars are amazing. I don’t really follow the Slim Fast plan or anything like that, but I tend to skip lunch, which has me ravenous by the time that I get home for dinner. I decided that I needed something that I could …
Carnival Skittles
I walked into a liquor store back in May and for my job was to pick up a bunch of candy for a party pinata. I picked up a package of this limited edition edition of Skittles entitled “Carnival Skittles”. I decided to treat myself to package too and …
Safeway Brand Green Tea
Now when I say that I love green tea, it means I love green tea. I’m always looking for new creative combinations of green tea and flavor. Now great green tea combinations are good to drink,but sometimes I just want a plain cup of green tea. When I look …
Stouffer’s Cheesy Spaghetti Bake
Stouffer’s Cheesy Spaghetti Bake disappointed me because I really enjoy cheese, and I expected this dinner to be quite cheesy and offer a rich cheese flavor. Unfortunately, this meal did not live up to my expectations. While I could certainly taste both the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, I did …
Colombina Snow Mint candy
I am not usually a fan of things that are mint flavoured, especially mint flavoured candy. That is why when my mother offered me a Colombina Snow Mint candy I nearly declined. However, because it did not look like one of the usual mint candies I was used to …
Coca Cola
Coca Cola : I used to have a lot of soft drinks in my teens, but slowly I have almost stopped having them. Out of the ones I liked were Pepsi, Gold Spot and Coca Cola. Coca Cola or Coke, as its popularly known as, tastes a bit …

Mentos Candies with Orange Juice
I like Mentos candies very much because they are very good and also they don’t make me hungry after I eat them as they are not too sweet. I used to buy them very often and I always had them in my purse so I could eat one or …
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 …
Lindor by Lindt
Lindor are chocolate truffles made by Lindt. This producer really has excellent chocolates although they are pretty expenive. Rarely would you find a Lindt chocolate for less that 1,50 euros.
Lindor is a series of truffles in 7 different types of chocolate. I haven’t tasted all of them because when …
Tiramisu Meltdown Red Ribbon Cake
I never really liked cakes, and sweet stuffs. I bought this cake in a red ribbon store to celebrate with our friends and thought it would add glamour to our festivity. Having know that specialty cakes in Red Ribbon are a bit expensive, not for a regular get together …

Blue Bell Coconut Fruit Bars
Like many people, I’m an ice cream fan and love to indulge every once and a while. I spotted bell blue’s coconut fruit bars, when cruising the frozen treat selection of my neighborhood grocers. It was priced at $2.99 per box or 2 for $5. I love coconut, whether …
7 Up Soft Drink
Even when I was just a kid, I am very fond of the 7 Up Commercial where there’s a cartoon image of a man with this soft drink. As I grow older, I have tasted almost all soft drinks and all the competitors of 7 Up just like Mountain …
Don Miguel Beef & Cheese Mini Tacos
These little taco bites offer quite a bit of flavor for something so small. I admit that my expectations weren’t that high for these small tacos, but maybe that’s part of the reason I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor they had to offer. First of all, the exterior …
Extra Fruit Sensations Gum in Strawberry Banana
The Extra Fruit Sensations gum in Strawberry Banana is my absolute favorite gum in the world! It tastes amazing, just as sensation as the name says. The fruity but sweet taste is like heaven to my taste buds. I definitely recommend these; they’re so yummy. These are great to …

Kool-Aid has eliminated the purple mustache. Invisible Kool-Aid though often in limited supply at the grocery store, is a great invention.

Angel Delight Dessert
A lot of my friends have a soft spot for Angel Delight as we are all the same age and remember it from our childhoods. I had not eaten any since the late 1980s but I recently treated myself to some. Angel Delight is no gourmet mousse …
Nathan’s Beef Franks
I know that Nathan’s is a well known brand, but it is not the brand for me. Nathan’s Beef Franks, to me, are much to greasy to be edible. Seeing and tasting all that grease just makes my appetite vacate my stomach. Greasy foods used to not bother me …

Rich’s Ice Cream Vanilla Sandwich Low Fat
Rich’s Ice Cream Vanilla Sandwich Low Fat is not that bad really. For a low fat product, this ice cream sandwich really retains a whole lot of flavor, quite surprisingly. The vanilla is fairly rich and creamy and even though the vanilla flavor is slightly subdued due to the …
Mountain Dew
I used to drink Mountain Dew soda on occasion as a teenager. The sweet tangerine taste was a welcome variation to the regular colas and lemon lime sodas years ago.
Mountain Dew has a distinctive citrus flavor, unlike anything else on the market. It also has a bright electric almost …
Hormel Chili with Beans
I always have made chili by scratch and have never even considered buying chili in a can. I have been fighting and illness recently and had a taste for chili. Not having the desire or strength to make it by scratch, I looked at the many caned chili …
Hostess Twinkies with Shrek Ogre Green Filling
Just in time for the May release of DreamWorks’ Shrek Forever After movie, appeared the latest in product tie-ins by Hostess. While I can usually pass by the Twinkies unfazed when confronted with them in the snack aisle, there was just something about the limited edition Ogre …
Fritos Corn Chips
I’ve been eating Fritos corn chips since I was a little girl. In fact, I can’t remember ever not eating Fritos. I used to love it when Mom put a little bag of Fritos in my sack lunch for school.
This salty corn snack just hits the …

Aunt Jemima Frozen Buttermilk Pancakes
Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Pancakes are alright as far as frozen pancakes go. When I am heating a couple up in the microwave, they do give off a pleasant smell, and when I sit down to eat them, they do taste okay. The quality certainly is not very high as …
Relentless Juiced Energy Berry Flavour
As far as energy drinks go, this one is excellent. If I’m tired or need a sudden load of energy for half an hour to a couple of hours, I’ll buy this. I don’t buy energy drinks very often, but when I do, I mostly buy this.
One …
Crystal Farms Grated Parmesan Cheese
When we decided to make spaghetti last night, I could have sworn we had all the ingredients already. However, we discovered, while making dinner, that we were all out of grated parmesan cheese. So, even though I did not plan on running to the store and spending money on …
Dasani Bottled Water 20 oz
I was told by my doctor that I was consuming too much caffiene, and I needed to drink more water– and he recommended plain water, which I almost universally hate. I have found a brand that I can deal with. When I lamented about my diet …
Great Value: BBQ Flavored Potato Chips
Great Value: BBQ Flavored Potato Chips are not that great. They certainly are not as flavorful or enjoyable as the ripple cut potato chips. By that, I mean the salt flavor offered by the ripple cut potato chips is stronger than the barbecue flavor offered by these BBQ potato …
Bisto Gravy Granules
I will start this review by pointing out that Bisto Gravy Granules do not actually contain meat and so are suitable for vegetarians like me. I deprived myself of gravy with my (vegetarian) bangers and mash for years and years because I assumed that Bisto contained some kind …
Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Peanut Butter Cup
I must say, compared to the double chocolate and Oreo varieties, this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Peanut Butter Cup really turned out to be quite the disappointment, even more so than the no-bake cheesecake varieties. The reason I found this product to be disappointing is because there was …
Nova Garlic and Parmesan Chips
I have always enjoyed eating Nova Chips, since it’s made of whole wheat, so I know that it’s healthier compared to other chips, so I don’t feel that much guilty whenever I consume one whole bag.
All those years that I was eating Nova, they only have one flavor, …

Elmer Candy: You’re a Purr-fect Valentine box
For me, the joy of holidays sometimes mean treating myself to seasonal candies I wouldn’t normally buy, especially if they are on sale. Recently, I took a chance on Elmer Candy: You’re a Purr-fect Valentine box of candies.
The box is heart shaped and features an adorable kitty cat …
PurAqua Purified Water
This bottled water brand is one that I have only spotted at Aldi, a store that carries primarily generics and off brands. Not only does this water taste pretty much the same compared with other bottled waters, but it is also sold at a price that is generally thirty …
Iceland Coleslaw and Potato Salad
This coleslaw and potato salad from Iceland’s own brand is very good quality and very economical too, at only £1 for the double tray, each tray containing 250g. I have been impressed with Iceland’s own brand products lately as they do always seem to be fresh and good …
Dutch Mill Yoghurt Drink with Mixed Fruits Juice
I love the Dutch Mill line of Yoghurt Drinks because they are my quick fix whenever I crave for frozen yoghurt but can’t get any. It’s also a healthier alternative to other drinks. I’ve tried the original flavor, the strawberry and the blueberry and love them all …

Coffee is like my everyday energy drink. I like it creamy and a bit sweet. At home, I always make sure that I have my Coffee-mate in french vanilla flavor. It’s aromatic and very tasteful. I can have any coffee-mate brands, as long as I have Nestle Coffee-mate.
When …
Francisco Extra Sourdough Bread
I’ve eaten several different varieties of bread from Francisco International, but I believe my favorite is Francisco Extra Sourdough Bread. It’s a product I’ve enjoyed off and on for years and have been purchasing a bit more in recent months.

Kitaro All-Sashimi Feast Party Tray
For one special occasion, my family tried Kitaro’s All Sashimi Feast Regular

Ready Brek Breakfast Cereal
Ready Brek has been one of my favourite cereals since I was a child, especially in Winter. The TV advert would show people with glowing tummies keeping them warm because of the warm Ready Brek inside them and that always appealed to me. This is an oat …

Algida Carte d’Or Chocolate with orange
Algida always has great ice creams and they are not very expensive, the price goes 3.50 Euro to 5 Euro. Sometimes I even manage to find them for 2.80 Euro when they are on discount but that’s not very often. I am talking about 500g containers of regular Algida …
Banquet’s Mexican Style Enchilada Combo Meal
This frozen dinner is by far one of the better meals in its class. Banquet combined (what I suspect) two of its most popular meals - the Beef Enchilada and the Cheese Enchilada meals - to make this delectable dish. This meal contains two beef and one chesse enchilada …
Besciamella Alte Cime white sauce
I really like to make lasagna, they taste great and they are easy to make so I make them very often. Most of my family like them too.
