Stouffer’s Chicken Lasagna is not something that I will be purchasing a second time. I thought perhaps I might enjoy this unique combination of chicken and cheese since I do like both of those things, but ultimately, the combination of flavors simply did not do a whole lot for …

The Cadbury Bliss is a new chocolate bar, and one which seems to be aimed at women judging by the little advertising that I have seen for it. I am, as usual, slightly irritated by this assumption that it is only women who want a nice, comforting chocolate hit …

Wye Rivers Crabbers Crackers are one of those things that I saw and couldn’t believe it. I’ve seen potato chips with a similar flavor, but never crackers. They don’t look all that bad and they actually appear kind of cute, until you read the ingredients and the fine print. …

I decided to give another selection of the skittles brand a try. This typical selection was called the Darkside skittles. Now my first thought was that these were supposed to be some special seasonal flavors that you would find around Halloween time. You know hence the ‘dark side’ name. But …

I did not find anything at all special really about this Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla. The homemade vanilla flavor was nothing spectacular and a letdown compared to the premium all-natural vanilla, also made by Blue Bunny. The premium vanilla ice cream had an incredibly rich vanilla …
