Red Bull
I often have to drive long distances. Sometimes, I do it in company. If I’m with the family, there’s always someone to keep me chatting. I can listen to music to stay alert. It’s when it gets dark and people doze off that danger can occur. The same thing …
Batman Reese’s Pieces

Ben&Jerry’s non-dairy vegan ice-cream
Vegan ice-cream is a big thing right now, as a lot of people choose to follow that cruelty-free lifestyle and a lot of people also have a lactose-intolerance or a milk allergy, so the market of dairy-free ice-cream is growing with every day. I’ve tried a lot of vegan ice-cream …

Best Kebab - Takeaway in Bedford
When it comes to takeaways, sometimes the old student comes out in me. Let’s be honest, there are some that you would rarely use unless you had not been out of the town or had a few drinks at home first.
There is one in Bedford that does appeal to …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Vanilla
Quite surprisingly, I never had an easy time tracking down this elusive fourth variety of ice cream. Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Vanilla is, for whatever reason, harder to find in stock than the other three varieties. I cannot understand why, either. I tried it, and there is nothing …
New York Style - Spicy Three Peppers
New York Style - Spicy Three Peppers is a snack chip that is not as spicy as the name might suggest. Oh there is a definite bite to these chips and they do invoke a build-up of “heat” in one’s mouth, but I do not think that these chips …
Valley View Garlic Mashed Potatoes
We had steak last night and, to go with it, made some garlic mashed potatoes from the brand Valley View; a brand I believe we ended up buying at our local Aldi store or some other discount grocer.
I have had other products from Valley View with some mixed results …
Tranquil’s Tuna Sandwich

Co-op Apple and Blackcurrant squash
Previously I never would have shopped at the co-op, as I have always thought of the produce as being cheap and yet overpriced. I would have walked past the co-op in order to get to a different shop, or worse still, I would have got in my car and …

7-Up Soda
For a clean, crisp drink of freshness there is nothing like the original 7-Up Soda to make you smile. I’ve had so many of the competitors over the years, from Sprite to Squirt, but none of them have ever come close to the purity of 7-Up.
As strange as …

Treetop apple juice is not very sweet but has a unique flavor anyway. I normally buy the one gallon bottle and it cost around three bucks. The cost is lesser than Langer’s apple juice. The bottle and packaging is well built. In fact I reuse the bottles of Treetop …
Wyke Farms Ivy’s Vintage Reserve Cheddar Cheese

Kroger Ginger Snap Cookies

Lindt Intense Mint Chocolate
I’m a big lover of mint and everything mint-flavoured and luckily there’s enough minty things out there. Lindt is my favourite chocolate brand that doesn’t change its quality standards and keeps up with the job of making high quality Swiss chocolate, famous all around the world. They also happen to …
Nathan’s Beef Franks
I know that Nathan’s is a well known brand, but it is not the brand for me. Nathan’s Beef Franks, to me, are much to greasy to be edible. Seeing and tasting all that grease just makes my appetite vacate my stomach. Greasy foods used to not bother me …
The Co operative Apple and Blackberry Pie
My local Co-operative appears to have an in-store bakery although I know that not all of them do. I was trying to decide which dessert to buy when a lady in a hairnet came out from the back of the shop and put some still warm Apple and …
Steakhouse Burger at Burger King

Orville Redenbacher’s Pop Up Bowl
I love Orville Redenbacher’s and I love new gimmicks when it comes to snack foods so I didn’t need any convincing to try the new Pop Up microwavable bowls that came out last year. I was turned on by the thought of less clean up and I thought it …
