Because I’m a cheapskate who sometimes resorts to counting change and heading to the Golden Arches for the $1.00 value menu, I have become a seasoned eater of the double cheeseburger at McDonald’s. In the last year, I have probably had about 80 of them, usually two at …

I’m the kind of person who likes her hot dogs pure: hot dog, bun, and just a dash of traditional mustard. No fancy mustards, no dijons, and definitely nothing with honey. For years French’s mustard suited me just fine.

I’m a chocolate addict and sometimes I consume scary amounts of chocolate. So as any conscious human-being, I started looking for healthier chocolate options.

Now I’m going to be honest I don’t like Sweet N Low Sugar. I really don’t think it’s that good. But it’s good for older people who can’t have high sugar. For instance I buy this to give to my grandma so she can enjoy some really good sugar …
