Sprite Soda
The Coca-Cola company has what I believe to be the closest competitor to its very popular and successful 7-Up competitor. Sprite Soda is a reasonable alternative to 7-Up, and its presence in various restaurants would seem to back that up. For many, the two are interchangeable.
Sprite Soda …
Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Twists
The Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Twists are almost identical to the Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Rolls. The only difference that sets the two apart is how differently they are shaped. The cinnamon twists are long and thin, and the dough appears to have been twisted in spirals while the …
Hershey’s Almond Joy
I am a definite chocolate lover, no denying that. So you’d think that Almond Joy would be on my lists of chocolates that I can’t resist or that I may even crave but that would be a negative.
Almond Joy is a chocolate bar made by Hershey’s which is sweetened …
Weight Watchers Cappuccino Cream Melts
I personally have not found many Weight Watchers brand snack items that I have enjoyed. To my delight, I have discovered a “favorite” in the new 2009 Cappuccino Cream Melts!
When I first tried one of the candies, it was 2:00 p.m. and I felt like I was on …
Tesco Spotted Dick Sponge Puddings
Occasionally I love to have a good old school dinner type pudding like sponge cake and custard so I tried this product from Tesco’s own range. A box of two Spotted Dick Sponge Puddings cost only about £1 and each sponge includes custard too. On the box, …
Ferrero Nutella
This is a chocolate cream thatyou can put in cookies, cakes but you can even eat it with bread and butter, or bread only, with pancakes or like some uf us do it with spoon directly from the jam.
It really tastes delitious. I’ve tasted Nutella about 15 years ago …
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer is something I get from time to time, but those are rare times, mostly because it just cost so darn much. This is considered a big time treat for me, and as a result, I really only buy the product once or twice a …
Clara Ole Strawberry Jam
Admitting of having a sweet tooth is not likely to happen, in my case, for now. I can mention individuals who can’t get enough of sweets—”excluding myself. I will not deliberately go to store and buy anything sweets like candy or chocolate; I would rather settle for bread, noodles …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Vanilla
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Vanilla flavor is a variety that I quite enjoy, although personally, I do prefer the french vanilla variety. I find that the french vanilla variety has a stronger and richer vanilla flavor and that this variety is a little on the weaker side in terms …
Lean Cuisine Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
This is not the best flavored Lean Cuisine meal you can buy, but the portion size is good. Lean Cuisine describes this meal as: “Tender spaghetti served with a flavorful beef sauce made with tomatoes, sliced mushrooms and basil. Accented with garlic and black pepper.” It’s part of the …
Haldiram Khara Mix
As I already said Haldiram is a very good company which produces the delicious snacks, the Khara mix is a kind of crispy and tasty snack from the same company. The Khara mix is the mixture of some crispy snack which is mixed with spiced pea nuts. …
Quaker Qvital
Quaker Oats now offers Q-Vital Cereal Drink. Cereal drinks were popularized by the Nestle Nesvita, and have made even more than one flavors that most health conscious people will love. I love cereal drinks and have thought that Q-Vital has the same taste as the Nesvita. Nesvita was sweet …
Cracker Jacks - bag version
Crackers Jacks have been around for ages. I grew up enjoying this snack. In recent years, I haven’t purchased it very often, mainly because it’s harder to find at the grocery store. When I have, it’s been the traditional, single serve box that is so familiar to most. …
Meadowfresh Lemon and Coriander Houmous
I frequently buy the original houmous (or hummus) in the Meadowfresh range but I thought I would try this lemon and coriander version. I wanted to experiment by using avocado in a tortilla wrap so I thought a houmous with lemon in would be ideal as I would …
Greek Gods Yogurt in Honey Flavor
I really like yogurt and one of my favorite brands has to be nestle. However, I saw this product at Publix and since I had a dollar off coupon for the product I decided to get it. They are a little expensive at about three dollars a …
Trailing rosemary
We bought two of these plants for about four dollars a piece at Lowes, they were potted in one gallon containers and were about a foot tall. Since then, it has been about five weeks, and they have expanded in size quite a bit. They now stand about a …
Fairtime Salt Water Taffy Festive Mix
I bought a bag of this old fashioned treat for the winter holidays and now I wish I had purchased another one, as it tastes really great! I haven’t had salt water taffy in a long time - years - as no one around here ever seems to sell …
San Marino Tuna Fillet- Spanish Style
The Product
The container is a round gold tin can. The total weight of the product is 180 grams.
This has a signature scent of a Spanish style flavor that is spicy but in a mouthwatering way.
The taste is initially spicy but on the later chew, I could feel the …
Great Value Fruit Cocktail
I bought a can of Great Value Fruit Cocktail despite my husband’s warning that this brand was not so good as our favorite Del Monte. But Great Value is considerably cheaper, so I thought I would give it a try. The fruit cocktail consists of diced pears, peaches, pineapple, …
Pionir Chocolate Banana
I really likes chocolate bananas, they are quite cheap and they are also very good. Actually this product doesn’t have real bananas in it but it is a chocolate coated foam dessert with banana flavour and it has 20g. It comes in a plastic wrapping while is yellow on …
Francisco Extra Sourdough Bread
I’ve eaten several different varieties of bread from Francisco International, but I believe my favorite is Francisco Extra Sourdough Bread. It’s a product I’ve enjoyed off and on for years and have been purchasing a bit more in recent months.
While regular sourdough bread is tasty, the extra sourdough …
Trix
As a child, Trix cereal was one of my favorites. I loved it, probably as my second favorite as I think back on it now. It was a fun cereal to eat, and I loved all the flavors and colors. It was tasty and satisfying.
For several …
Farley’s Strawberry Fruit Snacks
With an overwhelming sweet tooth threatening to overcome my diet’s restrictions, I made a beeline for the nearest vending machine, hoping for some kind of fruity low-guilt candy. The closest thing was a 2.5 oz bag of Farley brand strawberry fruit snacks, which would conveniently also provide 100% …
Mrs. Freshley’s Chocolate Cupcakes
I much prefer the Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Chocolate Cupcakes as opposed to the originals. The reason I do not care for these cupcakes is because there is a lot more sugar and calories and other bad things to be found within these cupcakes, and while the SnackAway version of …
Lia Panettone
I stumbled across a couple of cases of this at the local Grocery Outlet for $1.99, and thought “Well, it’s a risk, but I miss the panettone I could get in Italy when we were there.” I’ve been back for three of them since. Panettone is an …
Old London Melba Snacks Roasted Garlic
I highly doubt that I will ever purchase the Melba Snacks Roasted Garlic crackers again because I really did not care very much for the flavor, and at nearly five dollars a box, I refuse to spend additional money on a product that I feel is average, at best. …
Half Moon Asian Cafe’s Bibingcrepe
Half Moon Asian Café is known for its bibingcrepes, an innovative creative inspired by the traditional bibingka, which are rice cakes topped with butter, cheese, etc. The bibingcrepes are thick bibingka pieces with filling in between. An order is shaped like a half moon, thus the …
Perrier bottled Water
A few years back I found a pretty good mineral water awhile back called Perrier. It’s a pretty popular sparkling water made by the brand Nestle and one of the big reasons why is because it’s appeal to the human eye. The bright green aurora that the green …
Jack’s Pizza
My favorite kind of frozen pizza is the brand, Jack’s. It comes in all different types (supreme, pepperoni, cheese, etc.). Generally, the pizzas only have one type of crust, which has a medium amount of thickness. The pizzas are usually about $2 if you purchase it …
Blue Diamond Roasted Salted Almonds
I think Blue Diamond Roasted Salted Almonds are such a great snack to keep laying around! I love these salty, crunchy almonds when I need a quick energy boost. I don’t know what it is about Blue Diamond almonds, either, but I’ve tried other brands of regular …
Little Debbie Snack Pie - Chocolate
I found these Little Debbie Snack Pie - Chocolate variety pies to be decent, although certainly not outstanding by any stretch of the means. This pie is pure chocolate on the inside and chocolate lovers are sure to go bananas over this pie, especially if they place this pie …
Simply Asia Sweet Ginger Garlic Seasoning
I absolutely love cooking. It’s relaxing, fun and passes the time and never gets old. So to say, I like to keep seasonings on hand to properly flavor my food. There’s more to food, than salt, fat and sugar.
I purchased Simply Asia Sweet Ginger Garlic Seasoning from Kroger after …
Totino’s Crisp Crust Party Pizza
I’ve been buying Totino’s Crisp Crust Party Pizzas since I was about 15 years old. I remember all I had to do was throw one of those pizzas in the oven and less than 15 minutes later dinner was served. Though I’ve been buying these pizzas for some time …
Chick-fil-A Chargrilled & Fruit Salad
The Chick-fil-A Chargrilled & Fruit Salad might just be about the healthiest menu item that can be ordered at this fast food restaurant. I tried this salad dish once and I likely will not order it again because it just is not something that I can see myself looking …
Sunshine Snacks CheeZees
There are just times when I am in the mood for sweet and this is where other types of snacks comes in for me. Sunshine Snacks CheeZees is something I buy once in a while because I don’t eat it as frequently as I used to a few years …
Prego Frozen Lasagna
My wife and I were looking for something easy to make for dinner last night and, since we were in the freezer section, eventually decided on Prego Frozen Beef Lasagna.
It was the first time we tried this variety and, after doing so, I was left with a mixed …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Cookies & Cream
I maybe have this ice cream once a year. While I do not really find anything wrong with Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Cookies & Cream, I simply enjoy other flavors more and there is only so much ice cream that will fit in my freezer! Plus, I can …
Nature Valley Soft-Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Squares
Sometimes, it’s nice to have something a little sweet after breakfast in the morning. I see the Nature Valley Soft-Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Squares as like an after breakfast dessert, one that isn’t extremely sugary and is small and light enough that I can enjoy even if I’m feeling full …
Goya Cookies and Cream Bar
I remember I made a review about Hershey Cookies and Cream Bar before; Goya Cookies and cream is the local brand that I was talking about on that review. I tried this one first before Hershey comes out with its own Cookies and Cream flavor. Goya chocolate Cookies and …
Kroger bagels are Yummy for Breakfast
I really like the fresh blueberry bagels from my local Kroger bakery. They are just the right combination of soft and chewy.
The reason they are so good is that I can eat them straight from the package or toast them with a little butter. Since mornings are always so …
Delamere Goat’s Butter
These days I like to have a good —˜proper’ butter in the house, not just one of those —˜like butter but it’s not actually butter’ spreads. A good butter really makes a difference to sandwiches, jacket potatoes and cooking generally and I have come to appreciate that. …
Hostess Mini Muffins Brownie Bites
I cannot believe how poor the quality is of the Hostess mini muffin line is. These Hostess Mini Muffins Brownie Bites are terrible, just as the chocolate and banana walnut varieties are. The blueberry variety is barely decent. As for this variety, just like with the other varieties, the …
Mrs. Freshley’s Frosted Creme Cakes
Although I would not say that I am crazy about Mrs. Freshley’s Frosted Creme Cakes, I do purchase them from time to time. What I like about the creme cakes is that they have a thin, sweet icing glaze that surrounds the chocolate exterior. The glaze and the chocolate …
Mikado —“ Strawberry and cream milk chocolate
Although I am not a big fan of chocolate with strawberries about a week ago I saw this all new collection of Mikado Summer Edition chocolates and I bought all three of them. The first 2 were apricot and cream and lime and cream and I was expecting the …
Copperhead Red Wine by Cache River Winery
I am a big fan of Illinois wine. I am not a wine snob and probably officially wouldn?t know what experts call a really good wine if you hit me with it.
But, I am a fan of good tasting wines. I prefer whites, usually, because they are sweeter without …
Starwest Botanicals Red Raspberry Leaf Cut and Sifted Organic Herb
When I have menstrual cramps, I love to drink red raspberry herbal tea because it contains soothing medicine pain relieving properties in it that relieve menstrual cramping. My favorite loose leaf red raspberries leaves to use to make my red raspberry tea is the Starwest Botanicals Red Raspberry Leaf …
Centre Fresh Chewing gum
I am not a big fan of bubble gums, but centre fresh is a good one gum, that I have had many times, and probably it’s the only one that I have sticked to. It is quite different from the regular gums, and as the name says, there is some …
UFC Cook n’ Dip Catsup Blend Honey Barbecue
I suck at cooking big time. I need all the help I can get whether it be a recipe book or a seasoning, and I often turn to the internet for some tips. So when my mother asked me to make a simple Sirloin Tips dish for dinner, I …
Fuze Blend: Peach Mango Beverage
I brought myself a bottle of Fuze Peach Mango when my neighborhood Albertson was running a sale for $2 for 3. I am no stranger to the brand Fuze, so I was not hesitant to try this particular flavor. From the time I was a little girl and …
Pillsbury Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
If you want to re-create the experience of buying hot, doughy, decadent Cinnabon rolls that you enjoy at shopping malls–then look no further than your dairy section at the supermarket. Pillsbury is right on the money with their latest culinary creation: Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls. With only …
