Gatorade Cherry Glacier

Gatorade Cherry Glacier

What Is It: A cherry flavoured sports drink with a hint of glacier whatever that entails (kind of a berry twist if you ask me.)


Packaging: Well I haven't seen any other white Gatorade variations on the market so this is definitely unique. 

7 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: This is a really good Gatorade flavour here. The cherry is really prevalent here. The glacier aspect I think actually detracts from this as I think they had a delicious cherry flavour here and they decided to mess with it. Still good but I think it could have been better.

Sprite Zero

Sprite Zero

What Is It: A lemon lime soft drink with no calories.

Packaging: It comes in a green box and can to represent the lemon lime flavour. Looks pretty good.
7 out of 10

Taste/ Final Analysis: This is one of the diet soft drinks where there is very little difference in the taste between the diet and the regular. It has a very refreshing lemon lime taste that is really pleasant. It's the benchmark for lemon lime drinks in my opinion although I'll review some others to see if I still feel that way.

Chuppa Chups Lollipops

Chuppa Chups Lollipops


What Is It: Creme flavoured lollipops one of them chocolate creme and the other strawberry creme. I found these at the Dollar Tree.

Packaging: They have a major cow theme here which looks cool. The lollipops themselves look cool as well.

8 out of 10

Taste/ Final Analysis: These were some really unique lollipops. The creme flavour really shines in both flavours. They balance both the chocolate and strawberry flavours very well with the creme flavour to develop a delicious taste.  I do wish they had more than the two flavours though as I would have liked to tasted cherry, orange, and other flavours paired with the creme. Still a good pickup at the Dollar Tree.

Kroger Pepperonis

Kroger Pepperonis


What Is It: A pack of sliced pepperonis.


Packaging: Pretty clever packaging with a mostly red package with a picture of a stack of pepperonis on the top. It made me want to buy it.

8 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: These were some delicious pepperonis. This was a pretty straightforward take on a pepperoni as there wasn't a whole lot of extra spice in here which I actually consider a good thing for this product. The pepperonis were nice and big and were quote greasy. I just ate these straight up as a snack but these would definitely go well on a pizza or any other application you can think of. Good stuff.

Gatorade Orange

Gatorade Orange


What Is It: An orange flavoured sports drink.


Packaging: It comes in the traditional Gatorade shaped clear bottle with some pretty cool designs on the label. Since it's a clear bottle it leaves no doubt that you're getting a very orange drink.

7 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: Even though the red fruit punch one is my current favourite flavour of Gatorade I find myself getting this one quite a bit too. It's a very no frills orange flavour that has just the right amount of orange in it. Not too little but not too much either. This is definitely something to grab if you're extremely thirsty. It will take care of that thirst and leave a very pleasant orange flavour in your mouth.

Throwback Sprees

Throwback Sprees


What Is It: A hardish candy(you can chew through it right away but I don't recommend it for the sake of your teeth) that comes in red (cherry), yellow ( lemon), green ( lime), purple  ( grape), and orange (duh). 


Packaging: It comes in a purple box with a lot of cool designs on it. I don't remember it from back in the day but we'll go with it. Awesome looking box anyway.

9 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: This is another classic candy that I get on a regular basis. The flavours are all accurate to what they represent with the red being my favourite (as usual) folled by orange, yellow, green and then purple in that order. Despite my preferences though there really isn't a bad flavour here. Just resist the temptation to bite into it right away because it will tear up your teeth and besides why rush a good thing?

Kroger Cheddar And Sour Cream Rippled Potato Chips

Kroger Cheddar And Sour Cream Rippled Potato Chips


What Is It: It's all in the title.


Packaging: It comes in a cool looking yellow and orange back with some pictures of the chips on it. Pretty cool.

7.5 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: These are some really tasty chips. Tons of cheddar flavour here but there definitely is some sour cream mixed in too. The chips are nice and thick which is a plus. And they only cost $1.50. Put all of that together and there's no reason not to get these.

Little Debbie Star Crunch

Little Debbie Star Crunch


What Is It: As the box say cookies with caramel and crisp rice.


Packaging: They come in a black box with the logo in huge letters across the center and a picture of the product on tbe right. Looks good.

7 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: This is one of those things I loved as a kid and still do today. Every bite has tons of caramel and chocolate flavour to it and the rice adds good texture and crunch to it. I do feel like these have gotten smaller over the years but maybe my memory is playing tricks with me. This is also a gluten-free snack which is a good thing. A timeless classic.

Pumpkin And Twist Lollipop Bouquet

Pumpkin And Twist Lollipop Bouquet


What Is It: A bunch of fancy looking lollipops that I got at Dollar Tree.


Packaging: These are some snazzy colourful looking lollipops. I bought them just because I thought they looked cool so I guess this category is a win. 

8 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: All of the lollipops have a sort of berry/fruity taste to them. They are different between lollipops but all are that basic flavour. Not bad but not great. These lollipops are more built for show than trying to be gourmet. Thumbs in the middle leaning down.
