Donut Boys has a variety of donuts to choose from and it …
Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Creme Pies
I do not quite know what to say about this Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Creme Pies. Half of the cookie I rather like while the other half, I really find disappointing. What I like about this cookie is the rich and delightful as well as plentiful creme that is …
Organics Apple Cider Vinegar with “the Mother”
Hi there! Today I want to talk about a very interesting product that can be found at any grocery store. There has been a lot of fuss around it. If you google Apple cider vinegar - you’ll find thousands of posts that talk about miraculous properties of it. I’ve never …
Nestle Butterfinger Stixx
I first encountered Nestle’s Butterfinger Stixx when I was on vacation in Alabama, USA a few years back. It was interesting to see these popular bars now in a stick form. There were different varieties available but I choose the Butterfinger Stixx from the group first.
I recently had the …
Mrs. May’s Cran-Tropical Crunch
I know that junk food is not good for you, but I just found the Mrs. May’s Cran-Tropical Crunch in the grocery and loved it. Like all junk foods, this claims to be a healthy food, vegan, wheat free with no preservatives. It’s a combination of cashes, almonds, pistachios …
Eva Red Grape Wine Juice
I asked my hubby to buy us a red wine to drink and celebrate his birthday. But this time it is a red wine which is not alcoholic so he bought us Eva Red Grape Juice at Hypercity Mall in Malad.
I was the one to pick this bottle of …
Pasta Roni Shells and White Cheddar
I do not think I have ever tasted worse macaroni and cheese than the boxed Pasta Roni Shells and White Cheddar. This stuff is positively terrible in both taste and texture. Let me first start with the texture because that is something that really made me just want to …
Special K Protein Meal Bar - Double Chocolate
I’m not the healthiest food eater in the world. In fact, I’m far from it. I’m a persnickety eater, especially with foods that say they are healthy. I need that old school taste that I grew up with. I have, however, found a couple of …
Hormel Little Sizzlers Pork Sausage
I love skinless “longganisa” that is how we call sausage in my country. I know how to prepare this however it takes time to do it. The choices of sausages in the market is often too limited. I only see canned variety or those in frozen packs. Hormel Foods …
Lyle’s golden syrup
I’ve been using Lyle’s golden syrup for quite a while now and I am finding this product very good especially when I am preparing pancakes at home. I usually spread it generously on top of my pancake. Before I use golden syrup I normally just had a …
Three Musketeers Candy Bar
My favorite kind of candy bar has to be the Three Musketeers bar. There really isn’t anything like it. Well, other than the Milky Way, which for some reason isn’t as good for me (though it’s still very good). If you like milk chocolate and haven’t …
Chick-fil-A Sausage Breakfast Burrito
Chick-fil-A Sausage Breakfast Burrito is exactly like the chicken version, except that instead of the chicken, there is sausage. Everything else about the burrito is unchanged. Aside from the sausage, if you were to take a bite into this burrito, you would find scrambled eggs, onions, peppers and two …
Ting grapefruit soda
I’d never even heard of Ting before I tried it in St. Thomas, but it was a taste I won’t soon forget, because it was suprisingly tasty, and I definitely wanted more. It’s a grapefruit soda flavored with Jamaican grapefruit, and it’s most commonly served in small green …

G7 Coffee - Ca Phe Hoa Tan (Vietnamese Coffee)
The G7 Coffee - Ca Phe Hoa Tan (Vietnamese Coffee) is in my opinion the best 3-in-1 coffee available internationally. The coffee is so well liked that it can be found even on popular online shops like Amazon.
I have never been to Vietnam but I have heard many good …
Key Lime Pie Oreo cookies
It seems that every time you turn around these days there is a new limited edition package of Oreo cookies tempting you at your favorite grocery store. There are a lot of flavors out there and some are worse than others.
I’m happy to report that the Key Lime Pie …
Heads or Tails Oreo’s
I am a firm believe that if something works there is no need to change it. So when I saw the new experimenting being done to the classic Oreo cookies, I was just a little perplexed as to what would make them suddenly change the chocolate outside vanilla inside? …
Tofurky
I tried to like Tofurky, but just could not do it. This product is revolutionary and really is a healthy option as well as being a vegetarian’s dream, but in my opinion, it stinks! We made tofurky and the entire family sat down to eat it and all I …
Bachelor’s Wholegrain pasta and sauce flavor
I really love this eating any food from Bachelor’s brand especially my all time favorite which is the pasta and cheese flavor which I usually get whenever I go to the supermarket. I typically get 10 packs of it whenever it is on sale and honestly I don’t …
Uncle Ben’s Long Grain Wild Rice

Lotte Custard cream cakes
I love the taste of these small round sponge cakes with custard cream in it. Rich and tasty cream on the inside that would make you grab for more. Each cake is individually packed in satchets. One box has about 6 pieces. The cake is really …
Fruitwater better for you than soda- and better tasting too
I recently tried the new “Natural Grape” flavor in Veryfine’s Fruit-2-O line available in the beverage aisles and fridges of grocery and convienience stores everywhere. This flavor was my favorite of all in this line so far and I intend to purchase it again very soon.
Veryfine Fruit-2-O have 0 …

Tampico Tropical Punch
Even though I have seen this drink in shops and supermarkets several times, I never actually bought one and so I never got to taste it for a long time after I saw it for the first time. The only time I actually did get to taste the Tampico …
Kellogg’s Frosties

Zvecevo, Mikado, milk chocolate
Zvecevo is not one of my favourite brands of chocolate. Actually there chocolates aren’t special at all so I rarely buy them, they haven’t made anything new for ages. That’s why my surprise was great when I saw a great looking collection of chocolates in white wrapping with golden …
Red Rock Deli Chips
Red Rock Deli is an Australian brand of chips and is the best chips I have ever eaten. I love the way they feel when you bite them; they have the right texture and the right thickness just like Kettle chips. They are also not too oily. …
KC Candy Dinner Mint
When I first saw the KC Candy Dinner Mint, I had mistaken it for a particular mint my aunt used to bring from abroad when I was little, that had chocolate in the middle. At the time I hated mints with a passion, and the one with chocolate inside …
Wrigley’s Orbit chewing gum
So they say that orbit helps to keep your teeth healthy because it raises the value of ph in your mouth. Well, ph is the indicator of acidity and acidity causes caries.
My favourite Orbit is Winterfrost one because it gives you really fresh breath. I always have Orbit in …
Totino’s Crispy Crust Party Pizza
Despite its rather festive and unusualy name, Totino’s Cripy Crust Party Pizza is actually a very simple product. It is an affordable and tasty frozen pizza product. Although some frozen pizzas have gotten elaborate and as expensive as ordering pizza from a pizzeria, Totino’s Pizzas are still …
Jose Cuervo Authentic Light Margarita
Like many people, I struggle with my weight as I get older. I am always trying to find delicious light recipes or drinks so I can attempt to lose weight without feeling like I’m missing out or unsatisfied. Since summer is right around the corner, I’ve been craving margaritas …
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 …
Morrisons Meat Free Chicken Style Pieces
I have been eating these Meat Free Chicken Style Pieces from the Morrisons brand in tortilla wraps, with salad and a tangy mayonnaise and they are simply delicious. I tried a chunk of this without anything on and it was pretty tasty on its own, so I imagine …
Foster Farms Breast Fillets
In these troubled times, it’s hard to know who to trust to make sure our food is safe, but I’m counting on Foster Farms to deliver a quality product. I’m also the type that likes simplicity. I don’t want to make a lot of mess when I …
French Fries at Jack in the Box
French Fries at the Jack in the Box are the worst I have ever had. When I had it first at a Los Angeles Jack in the Box location, I thought it is only about that store. But when I had it in other locations I confirmed that the …
Actavia Yogurt by Dannon
I was not a yogurt eater until I heard about the Actavia Yogurt by Dannon. I heard about all the great benefits of eating this yogurt and what it does for your system. I have also seen the commercials and decided to give it a try. When you are …
BSN Syntha-6 protein powder
BSN Syntha-6 protein powder is one thing that I have included in my diet for at least six months now. This protein powder is amazing. It comes in a variety of different flavors and sizes. It is not like every protein powder. It is different because it is more …
TGI Friday’s Beer Battered Onion Rings
We had a movie night the other night and, since we always want some sort of snack to go with our films, we ended up making a box of TGI Friday’s Beer Battered Onion Rings that were in our freezer.
I have to tell you, as far as snack foods …
Quorn Creamy Mushroom Vegetable Pie
One of my favorite Quorn products is the Creamy mushroom pies because it is filled with juicy Quorn pieces and sliced mushrooms. As I’ve mentioned before Quorn pieces are made with mycroprotein (a member of the fungi family) which is naturally low in fat. In short, it …

Strawberry Crush
Wow, what timing! I really can’t believe it, in fact, but a few days ago I did a review for Welch’s Strawberry Soda, and I mentioned there that the only reason I’d purchased it was because I just couldn’t find Crush anymore. As ironic as it sounds, …
Meijer Cream of Mushroom Soup
Since I’m picky about my cream soups, I’ve realized they can either be great or awful. Some of them have sugar or corn syrup in them, which I hate, and some of them don’t have the right kind of seasoning. With the right seasoning, I think a cream soup …
Warburtons Seeded Batch Bread
I was brought up on healthy brown bread and except for the occasional lovely white crusty bread such as French bread, white bread was considered to be the height of bad taste in our household. So I generally go for brown bread for the extra fibre content and …
Lunch Buddies Cinnamon Applesauce
I like adding applesauce to my lunch or dinner occasionally because it tastes good and it’s not what I consider to be a “heavy” side, like, for example, beans or even certain kinds of vegetables. Applesauce is light, yet it’s not light on flavor, and that’s what I enjoy …
Pizza Hut Star Pops
Just a couple of months ago, I learned about Star Pops from a commercial. I do buy Pizza most of the time as a treat for my family whenever I received my paycheck. It is always a party at home whenever I bring home Pizza. I do bring two …
McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish
The Filet-O-Fish is a fish burger that’s been sold in McDonalds since 1962. It’s a great alternative for people like myself who don’t eat meat, and it’s been one of my favourite fast-food snacks for as long as I can remember.
The bun is nice and soft, and is …
