They had the brand Happy Harvest; a cheaper brand I know they buy …

I saw these last year and loved them and was happy to see them again this year. What I’m talking about are M&M’s Minis in a Tube. I adore regular M&M’s, but these minis are tiny little things that continue the milk chocolate goodness of regular size …

What can you ask for when you get to taste this new flavor of ice cream from Selecta. Selecta is my favorite Ice Cream brand. Every time it releases a new flavor, I am up to tasting it. A coffee Almond cookie is not a brand new flavor though, …

I am not all that crazy about the Jack in the Box - Mini Sirloin Burgers. Then again, I really cannot say that I find any of the burgers made by Jack in the Box to be particularly scrumptious. I think the reason can be attributed to the fact …

I love bacon and I love just about every type. I decided to try Gwaltney Hardwood Bacon to see if I would like the smoked hardwood taste. I paid about $3.58 for a pound of bacon which is comparable to other bacons that I have bought before. It seemed …

Combos Snacks - Nacho Cheese Pretzel differs slightly from the cheddar cheese variety, although both are fairly similar. The difference rests in the type of cheese used. Whereas cheddar cheese is used in the cheddar variety, with this variety, nacho cheese fills in the interior of the mini-pretzel. What …

I am a huge cheesecake fan I would sooner eat cheesecake than just about any desert and so when I saw the television commercials for Jell—”O’s Strawberry Cheesecake Temptations I just knew I was going to have to buy them. They are actually a little cheaper than I …

Blue Bunny Champ! Vanilla Ice Cream Cones is not something that I was very impressed with. The reason I was not very impressed with this cone is, in part, because the vanilla flavor was not quite as rich or delicious as I was hoping it would be. The vanilla …

There is something about Campbell’s Chicken & Stars Soup that makes it one of the best chicken soups I have ever tasted. I do not know if its the fact I was brought up on this soup and it brings back fond memories or if its just the best …

I don’t know how O’Charley’s can afford to charge only $7.49 for such a hearty sandwich. Not only is this meat sandwich hearty and soul-satisfying, but it’s jam-packed with flavor and deliciousness. First of all, the prime rib is pretty tender; it’s not at all tough or …

So he bought Samara Red Wine which is …

Hershey’s may be a time-honoured “institution” in the USA, but many chocolate lovers outside the USA know it only by name. And to be honest, their products are often thought to be less “sophisticated” than their European counterparts.
Recently, I had the pleasure of tasting a Hershey’s product for the …

Recently, 7-11 announced a new Slurpee flavor, and being the addict that I am, I had to check it out. The concept is that the icy treat itself is purple but the flavor is that of vanilla — or more specifically vanilla creme. My review of the …
