I was never really big on dried food–and still not to be honest–until I had the opportunity to try the Philippine dried mango. I found it on a trip to super Wal-Mart which turned out to be an impulsive buy. I don’t like dried fruit, but I like mango.
The …

Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Sandwiches are not quite as good as the Double Strawberry Aspenâ„¢ Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars. What makes me prefer the latter to the former? For one, these sandwiches do not have any vanilla where as the bars have a vanilla coating. …

Mayonnaise is one of my favorite sandwich spread since I was a kid.And until now, I prefer using Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise when there’s any celebration to prepare. I just don’t used it as a sandwich spread but also I mixed it with a fruit or macaroni salad.

I did not use to be much of a fan of quick cook noodles. The kind that I have always tried seemed to be missing something and to have a funny texture. Though I do not enjoy the noodles much, I still buy them for my little girl who …

These apple chips are just the opposite of Green Tree Apple Chips Caramel, and not in a good way! The Green Tree Apple Chips Caramel were pretty bland in flavor, and these apple chips are ridiculously sweet to the point where they were upsetting my stomach. It’s not even …

I’ve been a long time Coca-Cola drinker and have not yet found another brand of Cola that I consider drinkable. Today, I tried Jones Cola, and I think I’ll be drinking a lot more of this stuff in the future.

I bought this cereal thinking that it was a healthy source of fiber, protein, and along with the added vitamins and nutrients that make up a complete breakfast. However, I was misled because if you look at the nutrition facts, it does not have any fiber. The …

I was skeptical about trying this soda after a friend recommended it to me because I consider myself to be a creature of habit. I also am not a fan of grapefruit and a grapefruit appears on the can. This clear soda is kind of similar to 7-Up or …

Wendy’s - Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger is a good alternative for me if I do not want something that is as heavy as the Baconator sandwich. This sandwich is quite a bit smaller, yet it can still help to make for a satisfying lunch if I add a cup of …

Alaska Evaporated Milk I should honestly say is the best tasting evaporated milk of all. All the other local brands are unable to match its excellent taste. Globalization has brought in a lot of other brands of evaporated milk from other countries but so far Alaska Evaporated milk remains …
