Camel Snus
Camel, a well known American tobacco company, has recently started test-marketing a traditionally Swedish oral tobacco product called snus. Although the product is not (yet) available in my home state, I was able to obtain some while on a recent trip to Florida. I purchased all three flavors: spice, …
Fit n Right
The new Del Monte Fit n’ Right is advertised with the tag line “Be Fit. Be Firm. Be Fab.” They boast of it as having L-Carnitine which helps burn fat when you drink it.
In a way, this product tastes good, thanks to the flavors of this juice: Apple, Pineapple, …
Jell-o Gelatin - Cranberry
Jell-o Gelatin - Cranberry variety is not really a flavor that I go wild over like some other flavors that I never seem to get tired of, like the blueberry variety. I get a taste for cranberries maybe a couple of times a year, if that, and when I …
Tic Tacs
For some reason, I have been enjoying Tic Tacs lately. My husband acutally had some bloodwork done recently and it showed that his bloodsugar was just the slightest bit higher than where it should be. As a result, he immediately began to decrease sugars from his diet …
Haagen-Dazs Peppermint Bark Ice Cream
This is a seasonal offering by Haagen-Dazs is one of the most splendid concoctions I have ever eaten. It’s basically a holiday-themed ice cream so it’s generally only around a few months out of the year. I love peppermint bark, so when I saw it in the store I …
Pepsi Twist
I love Pepsi Twist, what a splendid idea to add some lemon flavor to Pepsi! I used to make my own “twists” like that, adding a slice of lemon into my pop, so when I first saw a Pepsi Twist commercial I thought, “YEAH!! Just what I want!” I …
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 …
Amul Fresh Cream in Tetra Pack
During free time I do enjoy making fruit salad and this is the reason why I need to buy a good creamer for my salad. I was able to buy Amul Fresh Cream in tetra pack at Hypercity mall. It was so handy and it fits perfectly to the …
Oishi Choco Coated Corn Plunged Fortified with Iron
This is the first sweet snack I got to taste from Oishi. I was looking for cereal for our breakfast and then I found it. It looks different because they make a snack out of cereal and it uses chocolate as the coating. It also claims to contain Iron …
Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Chocolaty Chip Bars
Due to my digestive problems, I need to eat about 40 grams of fiber a day. It isn’t easy to find healthy sources of fiber because most healthy sources tend to be bland, not to mention unpalatable as well. Whenever I buy snacks, I always look at …
Lay’s Popchips Sour Cream and Onion Flavor
I first bought Lays Popchips while I was shopping for lunch supplies at Target. They weren’t very expensive for a specialty chip, but they were expensive as compared to regular chips at about $4.98 per bag. I really wasn’t looking for a new kind of chip but when I …
Pet Ice Cream
Nothing beats the old traditional taste of Pet Ice Cream. Pet Ice cream is what I grew up on, in fact their Ice cream making tradition is so old, its what my motehr grew up on as well.
This is a really great tasting real milk ice cream that everyone …

Hershey’s Kisses
Hershey’s Kisses is so easy and neat to eat. A piece of this unique kiss-shaped chocolate could conveniently fit my mouth. I could savor its perfect creaminess and sweetness at it melts naturally on my mouth. I don’t need to use my front teeth to bite a piece …
Rockstar energy Drink
At my local CVS pharmacy, I recently purchased a drink after school. Sometimes I’ll be really unhealthy and get an energy drink. This reason for this is because I love the sweet carbonated flavors of them and they taste really unique. Despite their goodness, they are really unhealthy …
Kroger Garlic Spread
This is a garlic spread that is made in-store at Kroger grocery stores, so it’s not sold at any other store. A twelve-ounce tub of this garlic spread runs for around two dollars and fifty-cents, which is a fair price I feel considering the quality of the spread and …
Beano’s Original Submarine Dressing
For those that are accustomed to making submarine sandwiches at home or like to go to sub shops like Subway or Firehouse Subs, you know that there are a few different ways to mix things up a bit when making a sub sandwich so that you’re not always eating …
Mountain Dew
I’m finishing my second can of Mountain Dew today and I have to say it has to be the best beverage I’ve ever come across.
Not only is it great tasting, it is also refreshing. Unlike other soft drinks, I don’t feel thirsty right after and don’t have the same …
Great Value Steamable With Lemon Pepper Butter Sauce Vegetable Medley
I’m not quite as wild about this vegetable medley, compared with the others sold under the Great Value brand at Walmart in the can and in the frozen food section. First of all, neither the cauliflower nor the broccoli taste like much. They’re both somewhat bland, and what flavor …
Marie Callender’s Pecan Pie
I used to love the taste of Marie Callender’s Pecan Pie when I was still a kid, looking through their large clear glass window and picking out a whole pecan pie to take home for dessert.
But recently when I bought a whole pie and ate it at home, …
Durkee Citrus Grill Seasoning
We had a picnic in a park last summer. We all agreed to bring a little something for potluck and a friend of mine brought this lemony steamed whiting fish. It was a hit in the picnic table. My husband and I loved it. We asked her how she made …
Duncan Hines Premium Frosting in Milk Chocolate

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in box
I love the taste of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and I would certainly recommend it to anyone. Kraft Macaroni and cheese is sold in a box with the pasta and a cheese package. Depending on the store that I go to I usually pay between around a …
Star Margarine
Star Margarine has always been a family favorite ever since I was little. We would use Star margarine for cooking, even mixing it with rice is your food is a bit boring for you and even tastes good on bread. Star margarine is also a healthy alternative to cooking …
Hostess Limited Edition Donettes Pumpkin Spice Mini Donuts
Hostess has really gone all out this autumn in producing pumpkin-flavored snacks and I can’t recall the company ever giving so many of its year-round snack cakes and treats a limited time pumpkin make-over. I’m not complaining though; the more foods pumped with pumpkin spice goodness, the better, for …
Hawaiian Punch Lemon Berry Squeeze Juice
I remember always drinking Hawaiian Punch as child. My favorite flavor was lemon berry squeeze and I loved the taste and the fruitiness. I always drunk it when I was thirsty, but as an adult now, I don’t favor it much as I used to. Hawaiian Punch is very …
Quiznos Meatball Sub
For lunch today I had a meatball sub from quiznos for lunch and I have to say I was pretty disappointed in the subs quality. I get meatball subs from Subway quite often and thought that one from quiznos would be just as good if not better. The Quiznos …
Get All the Veggies You Need in ONE Capsule
It’s nothing new when we hear of parents having difficulty trying to get their children to eat their vegetables. We all know how essential veggies are to one’s health and nutrition for young and old alike. Funny though, how we wonder why most of our offspring prefer meat to …
Grandma Corbi’s Cinnamon Raisin Pretzel
When one of my coworkers was selling Joe Corbi products recently for a fund raiser for their son’s youth football team I decided to make a purchase to support the team. I expected the Joe Corbi pizza to be the highlight but Grandma Corbi’s Cinnamon Raisin Pretzel was instead. …
Pillsbury Halloween Funfetti Frosting
I bought this frosting specifically for use with Pillsbury’s Halloween Funfetti cake mix. I just wanted to make a cake that looked like the picture on the box. I know, not very creative. What can I say, I was tired from grocery shopping and I just wanted to have …
Kix Cereal
I remember Kix from my childhood. Those little round balls of goodness were “Kid Tested-Mother Approved” and it certainly seemed that way to me. I loved them! So, now that I am a mother of my own I saw a two pack on sale and figured it would be …
DiGiorno For One - Pepperoni Pizza
Today I tried DiGiorno For One - Pepperoni Pizza for the first time. I’ve been wanting to try some for a while since the commercials make it the brand sound so wonderful.
One thing I’m noticing now in the microwave trays that food is cooked on is that some …
Grey Goose Vodka
Grey Goose Vodka is probably the best tasting and smoothest vodka I haver ever had. It can be kind of expensive but the quality makes it worth it. You can get the big bottle of Grey Goose for only $47.99 at Costco and that is a great deal. I like …
Mentos Gum in Red Fruit - Lime
As an almost-constant gum chewer, I am always on a quest for new experiences. A local convenience store recently had this Mentos Gum on sale, so I opted to give it a try. Of the three flavors, I selected the Red Fruit - Lime.
The little plastic container is both …
Sainsbury’s Mocha Desserts
I thought I was just getting a common or garden coffee flavoured mousse when I bought this Set of 2 Mocha Desserts from Sainsbury’s, but these are far more gourmet than that. When I took one out and peeled off the cellophane top one of the little tubs …
Campbell’s: Cream of Broccoli Soup At Hand
Campbell’s: Cream of Broccoli Soup At Hand is superior to the Chicken & Stars flavor because this particular flavor has a great deal more taste! I enjoy broccoli and this soup certainly does it justice! Plus, it’s so quick and easy to make - I just have to stick …
Original Wheat Thins
When I first tried this I really liked them, it was after a swim practice and my friend had some. I just wanted any food I could get my hand on so I grabbed the box, not even knowing what it is and thought they were great for a …
Nescafe 3 in 1 Coffee Mix Instant Coffee Regular
I always have to have my coffee fix regardless of the time of day. If I do not, then I become weak and tired. I think I have a caffeine addiction already!
So during one of my trips in the supermarket, I saw the Nescafe 3 in 1 Coffee …
Simply Asia Rice Noodle Soup Bowl
I wanted something different for lunch the other day but had to find something that wouldn’t take too long to make. So, I ended up going to the store and looking at some of the instant lunches (ramen noodle cups, etc) and eventually ended up purchasing a bowl of …
Breyer’s YoCrunch Yogurt
Because my New Year’s resolution this year was to lose thirty pounds, I’ve been trying to find healthier alternatives for snacks. Since I’m a yogurt addict anyway, I figured that I would pick up a few Yoplait Light yogurts. Just as I grabbed them and was ready to load …
Ironbeer
Well, I was introduced to Iron Beer a few monthes ago by a friend, and I felt it was good enough to make me write a review.
At first glance, the can looks a little like a Doctor Pepper can with the deep red color, but has a distinct, yellow, …
Buddig Honey Ham Lunch Meat
If you’re like me you enjoy making a sandwich that’s packed with all the fixings. In my opinion the best part of a sandwich besides everything else is the lunch meat. I know when going to sandwich shops like subway or making my own sandwiches and wraps at …
Little Debbie Easter Basket Cakes - Chocolate
I find these Little Debbie Easter Basket Cakes - Chocolate variety to be a relatively simple although nonetheless enjoyable treat to have come Easter time. The chocolate cake is quite moist and so very soft that hardly any chewing is required at all. The chocolate cake also tastes as …
Kellogg’s Nutrigrain Bar (Strawberry)
These bars are great, inexpensive snacks. They usually come in boxes of 8, and they are simple fruit filled bars of a cereal. I like strawberry best, but there are other flavours such as Mixed Berry and Apple.
These snacks are not very filling. They are a little bit sweet, …
Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar is very good for your health, as well as many other things.I buy Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. You have to get organic, not the stuff in the market, that is only good for cooking & cleaning. You have to have the mother in the vinegar.
I use …

Whenever I am preparing a Mexicali dishes at home that requires me to use corn chips I would normally get the Doritos corn chips ones because it is not only very crunchy when mixed with other Mexicali salsa but also I simply just love the simple taste that it …
Trader Joes’ O’s
I bought Trader Joe’s O’s as an alternative to Cheerios the last time I was at Trader Joes. The taste and texture of the O’s is as good as Cheerios, and there is no aftertaste, unlike some othe immitations. However, there are far too many O’s that …

This is one of Healthy Choice’s new (or at least new to me) product lines that are described as “complete meals”. The complete meals include an entree, a vegetable and a dessert. Like other offerings in the Healthy Choice line, these complete meals are frozen, low calorie …
