Ribena
On my recent trip to the UK I was introduced to Ribena by my British partner.
When I had told her that I loved black currant flavored teas, her eyes lit up and she said, “You are going to love Ribena then!” Ribena is what they call a “cordial” …

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 …
Heinz Jalapeno Tomato Ketchup
Ketchup is probably my most frequently reached for condiment. While I like mustard and relish and plenty of other common condiments, ketchup has been my favorite since I was a kid. Ketchup isn’t just for French fries, after all, although I don’t go quite as far as some folks …
Paton’s Macadamia Nuts Covered in Rich Dark Chocolates
I received a box of Paton’s Macadamia Nuts Covered in Rich Dark Chocolate as a christmas gift from my cousin who vacationed in Beijing. The box had a big sign that read China with a picture of the Great Wall which made me believe that this was made in …
Zubrowka Vodka
Why is Zubrowka the tastiest vodka in the world, unique among the rest? Well, it’s from Poland, so you know it’s good. And it’s made from grass that the Polish buffalo roam on when they roam across the Polish lands. So it’s a yellowish color and …

My son wanted to try one of these sandwiches. So he ordered one, he wanted it plain, with only cheese on it. He was surprised when he sat down to east his sandwich, this was a big one! Three big burgers, but the most surprising part of …

Pop-Secret Movie Theater Butter Popcorn
It’s no secret that microwavable popcorn is just not as good as the popcorn that’s served at theaters. It doesn’t matter whether or not a microwavable popcorn claims to offer the same flavor as theater popcorn because it simply doesn’t. I don’t think it does, anyway. This popcorn from …
Great Value Thinly Sliced Beef Philly Steak
My husband is a big fan of tacos, so we often make them at home. I usually used hamburger meat for them; then one day we had come across Great Value Thinly Sliced Beef Philly Steak at Walmart. The picture on the box showed sliced beef inside a hotdog …

Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolate

Chocolate Samba
I am not a chocolate lover. I am not the kind of girl that loves to eat chocolates and not the kind that craves for one either. Well, to be honest there is only about 5 chocolates that I would be caught eating. Others I would only try but …
Madera Nashik Valley Red Wine
We went to buy a red wine which my hubby and I preferred to drink that night to unwind since he will have three days off. We ask a sales attendant to give us a bottle of sweet wine which is not that expensive so he gave us Madera …
Thinsations Bits and Bites Snack Mix
I’ve never been that big on ‘diet’ foods, I guess because I always thought that they would taste bad and that the food companies were saying that I should lose weight. I’ve always been more of a “I don’t need corporations to tell me what to eat” person.
But …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Bunny Tracks
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Bunny Tracks is a real sweet ice cream treat! This ice cream contains vanilla, peanut butter chocolate bunnies, chocolate-coated peanuts, chocolate fudge drizzles and peanut butter caramel. That is a whole lot of flavor to take in and your taste buds certainly will be …
Lipton Natural Tea Bags

I really love mashed potato. Once upon a time my favourite was KFC’s mashed potato, but back at that time I was just a kid and the only place I knew which offers mashed potato was KFC. I love the gravy so much.
Later on …
Nutella
Nutella is a really well known chocolate cream. However, this is not just any chocolate cream, as it has its very own characteristics. It is one of the most fluid ones that I have tried, and I really love to see the threads of chocolate after digging the knife …
Betty Crocker Hershey’s Frosted Supreme Brownie Mix
I purchased this brownie mix for $3.15 at my local grocery store Friday night. We were entertaining guests and rather than spending close to $6.00 for the already made up brownies I decided it would be thriftier (And homier I might add.) to just make my own. As soon …
Kras Tortica White Finger
When I was little I adored white chocolate but with years it became kind a too sweet. I don’t know if they started producing different white chocolate or I just don’t like that sweet stuff any more but I rarely buy white chocolate now. Today my sister went to …
Dalepak Vegetable Grills

Primo Wholewheat Pasta
I love to eat pasta, but with the carb-concern these days I can’t help but look for a healthier alternative. It’s safe to say that my search was over once I discovered Primo Grainwise Wholewheat Pasta.
There are several reasons why I think this pasta is much better than …
Bolthouse Farms Mocha Cappuccino Protein Drink
I am a vegetarian, and therefore, I’m always on the look out for new products that contain lots of protein to make up for the protein that I’m not getting from animals. With that said, Blothouse Farms Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuccino is everything that I’ve ever wanted. It is …

Cool Ranch Doritos
While visiting the U.S.A. recently, I noticed there was a much wider variety of Doritos available in stores over there than back home in Australia. Some of these flavours I’d never heard of before like Spicy Nacho, Tangy Cheese, Fiery Habanero and Ranchero as well as many …
America’s Choice Marinara Pasta Sauce (in a jar)
My mother used to make homemade tomato sauce, but these days, who has time? Tomato sauce in a jar is just so much easier. I usually buy the sauce at my local supermarket, where it comes in many flavors. Recently, I went to Shop Rite, where …
Tang
The first time I heard about the instant drink “Tang” was quite a few years ago in the nineteen nineties. I can remember that at the time the colour of the packet it came in was black and green and the only flavour which I knew they had was …
Tesco Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake
Cheesecake is one of my all time favorite desserts but it has to be a quality cheesecake or I will not buy it. I find a lot of cheesecakes to be a let down but this Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake from Tesco is delicious. I only recently discovered …

7 up is a cool drink which is which has no colors and it is transparent. This drink is also cool and tasty but it only suits the elders and not the kids because this drink has some strong gases and also contains some chemicals. But the …

Well, I adore Milka chocolate and I adore chocolate with strawberries and yogurt. It tastes so good during the summer days and although I don’t usually eat chocolate from the fridge this chocolate is the best directly from the fridge. So after telling you a few good words about …
Nescafe 3in1 Mild
The Nescafe small bags of instant coffee drinks are really great I’ve tried several of them and I was really pleased but the Nescafe 3in1 Mild is really the best. I just wonder what’s that 3 in 1, coffee milk and what? It comes in a a pale brown-yellow …
Great Value Ravioli
I wanted to pick up something cheap for lunch today and, after looking around, decided to spend 80 cents on a can of beef ravioli from the brand Great Value.

I buy both the liquid and the powdered versions …

McVitie’s Digestives (Biscuits)
McVitie’s provides the best biscuits that I have ever eaten. Their Digestive biscuits will always be my favorite. Other biscuits are far too buttery and dry, but McVitie’s provides us with something different! Digestive biscuits are a wheat cookie that go great with tea. I love dipping them in …
Yoplait Light Yogurt is the best yogurt
With most yogurts in the marketplace, the calories are usually high, taste is lacking, and the health benefits aren’t always there. Yoplait Light fat free yogurt offers the taste and right amount of sweetness for 100 calories per serving. You simply can not find anything in the …
Silk Soymilk
I’ve been using Silk soymilk for about 5 years now. I LOVE it! I can’t say enough good things about it to be honest. I originally started drinking it because I am allergic to dairy. It took a couple days to get used to the flavor being different but …
