JACQUOT Chocolate Truffles
Not being a particularly avid chocolate consumer I only discovered these venerable French bonbons (the factory, while backed by big capital now, has been in operation since 1922) only two years ago, while shopping for my aunt who IS a chocolate addict.
I’ll admit the first thing that made my notice …
Vanilla Yogurt Burst Cheerios
I first tried Vanilla Yogurt Burst Cheerios when I went on vacation by my grandparents. It was a new item that just hit the shelves of grocery stores and my grandmother love yogurt, so she bought a box of the Vanilla Yogurt Burst Cheerios. I was skeptical of how …
Large Lemonade from McDonalds
Often while I’m out during the summer I get incredibly thirsty. Nor does it help any that the temperatures are hovering near ninety with high humidity. To top it off, I’m often walking on foot and that just makes me more parched than ever. I need a drink to …
Zvecevo, Mikado, milk chocolate
Zvecevo is not one of my favourite brands of chocolate. Actually there chocolates aren’t special at all so I rarely buy them, they haven’t made anything new for ages. That’s why my surprise was great when I saw a great looking collection of chocolates in white wrapping with golden …
Malt-O-Meal Multigrain Cinnamon Spooners
Whole grain wheat cereal certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I know of family and friends that find shredded wheat cereal to be dry and unpleasant in texture. I will say it’s not my favorite kind of cereal, either, but I like it enough to have on occasion. It’s …
Healhty Mushroom Coffee
A Hundred Million Pesos in sales in mushroom coffee alone! There must be something right there! Although DXN Marketing carries a variety of products that range from health supplements, beverages and pesonal care, its most popular product remains to be The Lingzhi Mushroom Coffee. This is good news for …
Chubby Soft Drinks
“Chubby” was a Trinidadian soft drink product which came out in the nineteen nineties in Jamaica when I was about six or so years old. I guess the product was named Chubby because it was in a small stout plastic bottle, which at the time to me, made it …
Log Cabin: Original Syrup
Log Cabin: Original Syrup is one of my absolute flavor syrups to use. The reason it is a real favorite of mine is because the syrup is very rich and it is one of the thicker syrups on the market. It is syrup that greatly enhances my enjoyment of …
Goldilocks Assorted Polvoron
Goldilocks is a famous bakeshop/ restaurant in the Philippines. I have been a customer of Goldilocks ever since I can remember. It was in college days at the University of Santo Tomas that we frequented the place in a street just walking distance …
Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Double Chocolate
I find this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Double Chocolate to be superior to the no bake cheesecake line. The reason I find this particular product to be superior is because of the rich and scrumptious double chocolate flavor that comes with this dessert. The chocolate tastes just like …
Kraft Kool Aide Instant Drink Mix( strawberry flavor)
I am a type of person that got thirsty very often. I don’t like water that much, the fact that it has no taste. I rather drink juice or iced tea, but iced tea makes me thirstier. So I prefer to drink juices, actually I love juices, my favorite …
Best Choice Whipped Pineapple Flavored Cream Cheese
Who doesn’t need to save money in this economy? With food prices at an all time high, I have been spending more money than ever at the grocery store. But, I have started to buy generic products that has greatly decreased my grocery bill. Now, I have a plethora …
McLelland Seriously Strong Spreadable Cheese
In our family, all of us like quite strong tasting food, although I was the only one who could not eat my mum’s Vindaloo curries. But, we all really like stinky, strong cheese that probably other families would have thrown away. I like the convenience of soft …
Little Debbie Snack Pie - Cherry
I find these Little Debbie Snack Pie - Cherry variety to be far superior to the apple variety. Where as the apple variety lacked real, authentic apple flavor and just seemed to have an overall dull flavor, this cherry variety is quite rich in precisely the flavor it should …
Homestyle Peanut Punch Drink
Although I would not call it my favourite kind of drink, I still like having a good peanut punch drink once in a while when I have a crave for it. I usually see a few cheap brands that make it, and a few of them do not taste …
Granpomier Apple liquor
I have tried different kinds of apple liquor, but the one that Granpomier produces is one of my favourites.
The bad thing is the price, as it is also one of the most expensive ones.
This is a soft liquor, as it contains a 20% of alcohol. Because it is not …
Reser’s Main St. Bistro - Baked Scalloped Potatoes
I’ve never tried any of the Reser’s Main St. Bistro products before. In fact, I haven’t even seen them before. As a fluke, I was in the deli section of the store and just happened to glance over at some of the prepared foods. I noticed …
Kellogg’s Special K Pastry Crisps Chocolatey Caramel
Pastry Crisps are a new addition to the Kellogg’s Special K line of products. I noticed them recently on the shelves down the cereal, breakfast bars and breakfast foods aisle at Walmart for two dollars and fifty cents a box. A box contains ten pastry crisps and considering the …
Wild Cherry Pepsi
Wild Cherry Pepsi is Pepsi’s equivalent to Cherry Coke. Don’t know which one of the two competing companies had come up with the idea of adding cherry flavor first, but it doesn’t matter, I love them both. Wild Cherry Pepsi offers a nice combination of cherry and cola taste. …
Kellog’s Nutrigrain Cereal Bar (Blueberry)
I had often heard of the Kellog’s Nutrigrain Cereal Bar from advertisements, but never had the chance to try it until recently even though I really wanted to. This was mostly because the places where I had seen it being sold, were selling it at a very expensive price …
Klondike Ice Cream Bars
What would you do, for a klondike bar?
I think klodike bars are a really terrific ice cream. I like hard chocolate on my ice cream so klondike bars are perfect. What they are

Betty Crocker Scallped Potatoes Mix
I am a big fan of Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes and also the Betty Crocker Sour Cream and Chives Potatoes so I decided to try the Scalloped Potatoes flavor. Unfortunately, the Scalloped potatoes proved to be somewhat of a disappointment. I did not feel that they were …
Lucky Me Instant Noodles
Of all the instant noodles here in the Philippines, I think Lucky Me Instant Noodles is the most popular. Well, I’ve practically tasted all the local brands and I would say Lucky Me is superior in taste and quality. I’m not really a regular eater of instant noodles because …
Lipton Instant Tea
My familiy has always enjoyed iced tea. when I was younger during the summer time we would make sun tea, you would put around ten tea bags into a jug and set it outside and let the sun warm the water and brew the tea. My mom …
Bru coffee
The brand of coffee we use in our home is the Bru, which has excellent flavour and the taste. This is not an international or very famous brand of coffee, but it gives the real taste of coffee. I am not a coffee lover since the …
Orville Redenbacher’s Movie Theater Butter Microwave Popcorn
I love popcorn and watching movies, so when I picked up some videos at Blockbuster Video I also grabbed some popcorn from my local grocery store. I love lots of butter on my popcorn so the “movie theater butter” flavor really appealed to me.
I have tried many other …
Bertolli Portabello Mushroom Tomato Sauce w/ Merlot
I made a grilled lemon herb chicken over angel hair pasta. I was a bit apprehensive because sauces made with wine that are already on the shelf have a different flavor than sauces made with fresh wine. In any case, I used this sauce after I …
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 …
Wine Lover’s Chocolate
I love chocolate. Unfortunately my aging body could no longer accommodate the sugar and the fat that makes chocolate so sweet and seductive. So I’ve learned to ignore the 99 cent bars by simply telling myself that they are too sweet and are not luscious enough. It was …
Amy’s Kitchen Vegetarian Baked Beans
I was really excited to find that Amy’s Kitchen now makes baked beans. I have a hard time finding a vegetarian version of prepared baked beans or at least any selection of vegetarian baked beans. It was nice to find another brand, especially a brand that is natural and …
Mom’s Best Naturals Raisin Bran
Mom’s Best Naturals Raisin Bran is a cereal that’s comparable to Kellogg’s Raisin Bran cereal. The only difference between the two cereals that I can make out is the price. The Kellogg’s cereal is about thirty cents more in price compared to the Mom’s Best Naturals cereal, which retails …
Freshona Grilled Peppers
Since I discovered how tasty grilled or roasted red peppers are, I have included them in my diet quite a lot, which is good as they are very nutritious. Of course, they are lovely for anybody to eat but as a vegetarian I am glad to have discovered …
Metromint - Peppermint Water
Metromint - Peppermint Water is more or less about as good as hint peppermint water, and if I had to choose the better tasting flavored water, I do not think that I could. Much like the hint flavored water line, this water is also pretty pure and healthy. The …
Copper Mountain Hot2Go Hazelnut Coffee Latte Light
On a recent trip to my local mega-store, I came upon Hot2Go Coffee Lattes, made by Copper Mountain. Priced at less than $1.50 each, I decided to grab a few.
The packaging is very convenient, allowing you to heat up a latte that you can take anywhere with you …
The Real McCoy’s Flame Grilled Steak flavour crisps
The Real McCoy’s is a very tasty brand of British crisps, and I have always found most of their varieties to be extremely tasty. This Flame Grilled Steak flavour has always been one of my favourites, and I am happy to say that it has been around for a …
Ainsley Harriott Fruit & Nut Cereal Bars
These are the most gorgeous cereal bars —“ possibly the best I have ever had. I think it is the addition of Belgian chocolate that helps a great deal as the milk chocolate coats one side of the bar is quite a generous layer. These are from …
Silk (Soy Milk)
I’m not a vegan, so when I first heard about Silk Soy Milk I didn’t put too much thought into trying it. All I knew was that the commercials showing people drinking it like it was the most delicious thing in the world were pretty tempting. To be honest, …
Holiday Exotic Gourmet Trail Mix Fruit and Nut Fusion
I discovered this great healthy snack some years ago when I was still active at the gym. It was in a supermarket beside the gym, and at the time I
had vowed to not only cut my calories, but eat healthy as well. My only guilt after that though was …
Chocolate Peppermint
I have been growing this plant for years with 100% satisfaction and success. I got my first plant in a trade years ago, and started over 100 new plants from that single seedling over the course of the next 2 years. I gave baby plants away, traded them for …
Alaska Crema All Purpose Cream
Alaska Crema All Purpose Cream is not really my original brand but one Christmas season, I decided to give it a try when the other brand that I was using went out of stock in the grocery store near my place. I did not have the time to travel …
Cheetos Puffcorn
Cheetos Puffcorn is a new product in the Texas region. I can’t speak for other areas but they just appeared on our shelves this summer 09. If you haven’t tried them yet, you must!!Be forewarned, they are highly addictive!! It is easy to finish a large sized bag in …
Goldilocks Cassava Cake
Have you ever tasted the Goldilocks Cassava Cake? It’s certainly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Its sweetness is just enough for those who like it sweet. It’s also tender and soft so it’s really a delight to eat. At the same time, you will taste the cassava …
Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Long John Cake
I personally prefer the Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Long John Cake over all the other long john pastries that this company makes and sells in the grocery stores. It may just be because strawberry is one of my favorite flavors to let rest on my taste buds, but I …
Kelloggs Corn Flakes Cereal
They call it the original — Kelloggs Corn Flakes Cereal. It’s certainly the most recognizable and purest of the Kelloggs family of cereals. My father loved this product tremendously. It was pretty much a staple in our cupboards as I grew up.
As for me, I wasn’t …
Ritz Toasted Chips
I recently acquired a coupon for the new toasted chips by Ritz and thought I would give them a try. The chips are essentially very thin crackers that have been toasted and then put in a bag. They are very tasty and are not as fattening as other chip …
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 …
Best Choice Frozen White Shoepeg Corn in Butter Sauce
I love to have a variety of quick side dishes on hand to make dinner time prep easier and quicker. One thing I love to buy are the frozen vegetable side dishes that come with a pre-made sauce, such as broccoli with cheese sauce. I love the corn in …
