Cadbury Star Bar
Cadbury’s Star Bar is one of my favourite chocolate bars. Before writing this review, I nipped onto Wikipedia to remind myself when they first came out as I have been buying these regularly since the 1980s. Interestingly, it pointed out that this Star Bar only exists because …
Ferrero Collection Chocolates
Ferrero is one of my favorite chocolate along with Godiva. They have come up with a different style this time.

Franck 2in1
Yesterday I had a Franck 3in1 instant coffee drink and as I bought a bunch of them when I went to a big discount, I mean I bough severa different instant coffee drinks to try them out, today I really wanted to see the difference between Franck 2in1 and …
Kinder Bueno Candy Bar
There are so many varieties of American candies on the market why venture out into the unknown world of foreign offerings? There are, however, many reasons! In my experience American candy is often extremely sweet and dense, making it difficult to eat even a single bar without needing to …
Rasna fruit plus (healthy flavoured juice mix)
The rasna fruit plus is the name of a juice mix. It is in the form of powder which gives the excellent taste of orange fruit juice. The main advantage of having this juice is that this is not only tasty and easy to prepare kind …
Tim Horton’s Boston Cream Donut
This is one of my absolute favorite treats! At less than ninety cents per donut, it is also a very cheap snack. I love that I don’t have to feel guilty about the fact that it’s a bad treat AND expensive, because what’s ninety cents?
I get a Tim Horton’s …
Steakhouse Burger at Burger King
Burger King should do themselves a favor and take this burger off their menu! This is by far the worst burger I have ever eaten! First of all, I am not sure what type of meat they used, but it had such a horrible taste to it. …
Stouffer’s Smoked Turkey Club Panini
Stouffer’s Smoked Turkey Club Panini is not quite as good as some of Stouffer’s other frozen sandwiches, but I nonetheless still enjoyed the sandwich and will likely purchase it again now and then. The smoked turkey slices have a good flavor to them, and I am not even that …
Moccona Espresso
I am very fussy about my coffee. Not too strong, not too weak, but just right and Moccona Espresso certainly delivers the goods.
Most coffee tastes bitter to me and leaves an after taste that I find unpleasant, but not Moccona Espresso.
It is a mild, pleasant tasting coffee that …

Lipton Iced Tea
I bought one can of Lipton Iced Tea from the US. Although I love juice especially the freshly squeezed ones, I still crave for iced tea sometimes. During days when the sun is extremely hot, it is one of the best treat to drink one glass of iced tea. I …
Torani Cherry Syrup
My boyfriend’s favorite soda is cherry, which is not a very common soda. I decided to get him a soda maker along with this Torani cherry flavored syrup for Christmas, and we both really love this syrup.
The syrup has a really good, strong cherry flavor to it without being …
Frito-Lay’s Flaming Hot Funyuns
While I was grocery shopping last week, I came across Frito-Lay’s Flaming Hot Funyuns which are onion-flavored rings in the flaming hot variant. As I have never tasted Funyuns before and it looked so enticing in its packaging, I decided to give it a try. At P104.95 …
Lindt Lindor small chocolate
Lindt Lindor is really my favourite Lindt chocolate I discovered it many years ago because my mother adored it and my father was always buying it for her. Actually she adored Lindt Lindor eggs which is the same Lindt Lindor chocolate but in the shape of eggs or small …
Phillsbury Reduced Sugar Cake Mix
I’ve only found this cake mix on one of our local stores, but I’m really glad they have it! It is a great way for people who are watching their carbs to have cake ever once in a while. You still can’t eat a whole lot of …
Great Value Flame-Broiled Hamburger
Two Great Value Flame-Broiled Hamburgers come in a package at Walmart for two dollars and thirty cents. The hamburgers are individually wrapped and come on sesame buns.

Quality House Extra Dry Gin
I drink Gin and Tonic when we are entertaining friends, but it is difficult to find a decent dry Gin, unless you buy Quality House Extra Dry Gin. It is 35% alcohol, and I usually purchase the smaller bottle of 200 ml.
Quality House Exrta Dry Gin is refreshing when served …
Black Licorice Soda
Black Cat Licorice is one of the special edition holidays sodas from Jones Soda, meaning that you’ll either love it or completely hate it like I did. I was hoping that this would be a little different and more like the red licorice flavor they released in the past, …
Sour Skittles (Green Wrapper)
Taste the rainbow? More like taste sweet pain. Sour Skittles are basically just Original SKittles except for one addition. They are overwhelming coated in that sour powder stuff that you see on candy ever now and then.
At first I was very eager to try Sour Skittles out, I mean …
Legacy Bakehouse - Mix’n More Cheesy Buffalo Snack Mix
Legacy Bakehouse - Mix’n More Cheesy Buffalo Snack Mix is not as good as the garlic variety. The reason I did not enjoy this snack mix quite as much as the garlic variety is because the buffalo flavoring seemed to overwhelm the other flavors, like the cheese, salt and …
Sugar Free Wannabe Cupcake from Just Delicious Bakery
This sugar free, deep chocolate, cream filled cupcake is called a Wannabe because of its resemblance to a Hostess Cupcake, but the resemblance is only superficial.
A package of Hostess Cupcakes has two cakes in it, actual weight about 4 ozs. I would always eat them both, doesn’t everyone? …
Orbit Mist Gum
My wife is starting to chew gum again and has been trying different varieties; which I also take advantage of. One of the more recent brands she purchased was Orbit Mist gum.
It is OK but not great.
The flavor she picked out was some sort of watermelon flavor, which I …
King’s Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream
I think King’s Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream lacks the sweet, sour taste of raspberry. It seems like a normal vanilla ice cream with some red-colored sauce. The sauce is sweet, of course, but the sweetness does not seem to come from the raspberry. The sweetness seems very …
Jell-o Gelatin - Cherry
Jell-o Gelatin - Cherry is a delightful and enjoyable treat to have every now and then. The cherry flavor is quite rich and favorable, and the cherry flavor is quite authentic in flavor and I am very pleased with this. This treat would not be a treat if the …
Alvita Caffeine Free Roasted Dandelion Root Tea Bags
When we got the Alvita Dandelion Root Tea Bags a little over two months ago from a relative, I was not very excited to try it since I did not get the impression that roasted dandelion root would make a good tea. In fact, the box sat in our …
Folgers Coffee Singles Classic Roast Coffee Bags
I stumbled across a box of Folgers Coffee Singles Classic Roast Coffee Bags, one evening when browsing for a completely different product entirely. I previously had no intentions of purchasing any coffee, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have more on hand.
Previously I had never heard of …
Great Value Cranberry Sauce
I’m not a huge Cranberry Sauce fan but will eat it on occasion. My wife made an early Thanksgiving dinner last night and asked me to pick up a can and, not wanting to spend a fortune on it, I ended up buying a can from the brand Great …
Noel Saltin Crackers
I’ve never really thought of myself as a fan of crackers, especially salty ones, but I have to say that eating Noel’s Saltin Crackers can be quite addictive. I’m enjoyng some right now in fact as I’m writing this, and am forcing myself not to reach into the bag …

Salchichas con curry by Gebirgsjager 1.95 euros per pack of 3

Wrights Cheese and Onion Pasty
Wright’s Pies are famous in Stoke-on-Trent, with their own chain of shops around the City selling all varieties of pies and pasties. When I was a kid at school we would all go down to the Wright’s Pie shop for our lunch. I do not eat meat …
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 …
Jack ‘n Jill Roller Coaster
This potato ring snack is one of my favorite junk foods. Its cheddar cheese flavor makes me crave for it over and over again. It is a healthy snack because it is fortified with Vitamin A and Iron. It has Sangkap Pinoy seal and accepted by Department of Health …
Hershey’s 100 Calorie Crisp Wafer Bar
Everywhere you look, there seems to be some type of 100 calorie snack or snack pack around on the store shelves. I’ve tried a lot of these over the years and there are a few I like and a few that I don’t. Hershey’s has started making a couple …

Milo Chocolate Drink
I don’t really like chocolate drinks, at least not the hot chocolate drinks for that matter; but I certainly enjoy cold chocolate drinks as a kid, these would usually be the ready to drink milk chocolate drinks in cartons; most of them are readily available in supermarkets or convenient …
Grace Instant Coffee
Although I do not drink coffee very much, as of late I have been developing somewhat of a taste for it. I also believe that I can also distinguish between a bad cup of coffee or brand of coffee just like I mentioned in a previous product review, and …
Bucha Lemongrass Ginger Kombucha Drink
I was just getting over the flu and looking for some sort of ginger drink to ease my stomach when I came across this drink. It sounded like an interesting combination of flavors (I love lemongrass,) so I decided to give it a try. I’d never had kombucha before, …
South Beach Living Granola Bar - S’mores
Today I tried eating a South Beach Living Granola Bar in the S’mores flavor. I’ve never had one of these before so it was a completely new experience and frankly, I’m not a big granola fan, so it’s important to note that whenever I try these products, I’m …
Flipz Milk Chocolate Pretzels
Flipz Milk Chocolate Pretzels is different from Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Pretzels in one single regard - the Flipz pretzels are coated with Nestle’s chocolate and the Hershey’s Milk Chocolate. How does that impact the flavor of the pretzels? Well, in my opinion, there is no noticeable difference. Maybe I …
Zulka Morena Cane Sugar (Non-GMO)
When I was young my family got together all the time in a uncle’s farm in Venezuela where he had cane, and everybody loved going there because the minute you stepped on the land the first thing you had to do was grab a piece that my aunt already …
Sharwoods Chicken Korma with Rice
I don’t eat many ready meals, finding they always taste far too salty for me and mostly have an incredible amount of fat in them. Add to this the fact that these days most ready meals take around forty five minutes to cook in the oven and you …
Aqualife Purified Drinking Water
I don’t like drinking water and have never even tasted tap water, I always use distilled or purified water for drinking and even when I’m very thirsty I must need to buy a clean bottle that I know hasn’t been in heat or in direct sunlight and was only …
The Vitamin Shoppe Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Organic coconut oil should be in the “superfood” group. It has outstanding health benefits and even tastes great. Since my family began eating healthy, we began looking for a good coconut oil. We wanted a quality product that was organic. We also wanted a good …
Royal Basmati Rice
This rice is made in India but is sold in Indian grocery stores throughout the US. I’ve also seen this at Costco as well.
This is the only rice I purchase. I’ve tried several others but the results, taste, and unbelievable aroma I get from cooking this rice is …
Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Garden Salad
The Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Garden Salad is much better than the Chargilled Fruit Salad, in my opinion. I think with this menu item, the chargrilled chicken goes better with the contents found in the garden salad as opposed to the contents found in the fruit salad. Of course, the …
