Taco Bell’s beefy five layer burrito is nothing short of amazing. Personally, I have eaten hundreds of these since they hit the locations. The burritos are only 89 cents, but taste a great deal better than a plain bean burrito of similar cost. They are great for anyone who …

I think these are fab little snack bars from Tesco’s own range. I have tried several of their own brand confectionary that are direct rip-offs of well-known brands of chocolate bars, like Mars bar for instance. This one is a carbon-copy of a Snickers bar, although they …

I found this Blue Bunny Champ! Banana Split Ice Cream Cones to be a satisfactory treat, although admittedly, I did expect more from this ice cream cone. The vanilla ice cream, for one, just was not as good as it normally is. Generally, Blue Bunny has pretty tasty vanilla …

I see them in the frozen section of the grocery store all the time. I have tried them and while they were not bad, I did not want to try another one, ever. My family members love them. What am I talking about? Hot Pockets! When you think about …

The Dolmio Extra Spicy Bolognese sauce is my sauce of choice, with more flavor than the standard Dolmio Bolognese sauce due to the additional ingredients which include green peppercorns and chilli peppers. I always prefer a slightly spicier taste but this is by no means a hot sauce …
