Farley’s Rusks
Farley’s Rusks are made by those food giants Heinz and are something that just about every new mother buys for her new baby once they reach the weaning stage.
Funnily enough when my two little boys were babies they were never too keen on them, however now they are older- …
Tofuking Northern Tofu
Since I decided to convert to be a vegetarian having a tofu in almost all of my dishes at home makes my cooking even more appealing most especially that I particularly make lots of dishes that need tofu on it as a good substitute for a red meat or …
Ritz Crackers
Ritz Crackers are just about the only crackers I can think of which are tasty enough to eat on their own. They are small, only two inches in diameter, so I sometimes just pop one or two in my mouth for a quick snack. They are crisp …
Munch pop chocs
The munch pop chocs is also a kind of chocolate which is somewhat different. Actually the munch chocolates are good ones which had the crispy wafer inside coated with the thick chocolate coating. In the same way the munch pop chocs are introduced which looks like the …

Hershey’s Giant kiss candle
Hershey’s chocolate is well known around the world. It is a rare person who doesn’t love a classic hershey bar, Herrshey’s kisses or maybe a Mr. Goodbar. In 2006 Hershey celebrated a milestone, their 100th anniversary. I personally received a few tokens of affection in the form of Hershey’s …
Pop Weaver Butter Popcorn
It’s too bad I’m not really that crazy about the flavor of this popcorn because I like that this popcorn is made with canola oil. Since it’s made with canola oil, there’s not quite as much saturated fat and there’s even some good things to be found in this …
hint - Peppermint
Peppermint flavored bottle water is a real treat to drink! I love the refreshing and flavor of peppermint mints, and now, having peppermint infused with water is another way that I can appreciate the rich and soothing peppermint flavor! This flavored water is really quite addicting. I have no …
Hostess Fruit Pie - Apple

I guess I’ve been drinking Skinny Girl Margarita for the better part of a year now. I’m a big Bethany Frankle fan anyway so I was eager to find out what the big deal was with this drink. When it showed up at my local Safeway, on sale no …
Bazooka Bubble Gum
During trick or treating this year, rather than hand out candy, I instead filled my bowl with pieces of Bazooka Bubble Gum. My wife thought it was because I�m a cheapskate. Not true. I chose to do this simply because I wanted the leftovers.
I�ve tried quite a few brands …
Leader Vodka Ice mixed drink
I have already tasted two different Leader mixed drinks and I must admit that this is the worst one, the other two are made of rum plus lime or orange. I usually prefer vodka to rum, but this combination of vodka with lemon is really not my favourite one. …

Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Snack Cakes - Vanilla

Stride Spearmint Sugarfree Gum

Sainsbury’s Basic Muesli Breakfast Cereal

Nescafe Azera Barista Style Instant Coffee Range
I first decided to try the Azera coffee range when I became addicted to proper ground coffee but didn’t like the inconvenience of making it. I was never satisfied with the regular granules and found them harsh and bitter if I ever wanted to try them without milk.
Now this …
De Cecco spaghetti pasta
I’ve bought my first de cecco spaghetti pasta for my son’s birthday party and since it was quite an expensive sort of pasta I thought that maybe I should better give it a try on a special occasion. I followed all the cooking instructions on how to make …

Starbucks Mocha Frappachino

Wendy’s - Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Wendy’s - Spicy Chicken Sandwich is outrageously hot! I ordered this once and that was it for me! Never again! I can handle hot and spicy food to an extent, but each bite of this sandwich is enough to really send a hot sting across my taste buds! I …
Cloverhill Bakery - Marble Cake
The Cloverhill Bakery - Marble Cake is a cake that I did not care for. The reason I did not like this cake too much is because I did not feel that the vanilla or chocolate flavors really shined very well. I could taste both the vanilla and the …
