Pringles BBQ

Pringles BBQ


What Is It: Bbq flavoured Pringles. 


Packaging: They come in the trademark Pringles can coloured brown representative of the bbq. There is some cool artwork on the front bottom as well. Good stuff. 

7.5 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: This is not the best effort from Pringles here. A very uninspired bbq flavour. It's not overly spicy or sweet. It's just kind of there. It's not like inedible or anything but it's not the delicious chip that Pringles usually produces. I would say take a pass on this on.

Chex Mix Cheddar

Chex Mix Cheddar


What Is It: This a snack mix consisting of pretzels, 2 kinds of grid like textured crackers one having stronger cheddar flavour than the other, and little triangle cheese wedge cracker pieces.


Packaging: It comes in a very attractive orange bag locks of cheese decor on it and some pictures of the product on the bottom. Looks cool.

8 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: This a very popular and probably the easiest to find kind of Chex Mix. As you would expect they infused tons of cheddar flavour in all of the mix. Even the pretzel pieces have lots of cheddar. The rest of the mix also has great flavour with varying degrees of cheddar flavour on each different kind of piece. A pretty good mix albeit a safe one.

Kid Cuisine Meals

Kid Cuisine Meals


What Is It: They are t.v. dinner's made for kids. The 3 I'll be looking at are Bug Safari Chicken Breast nuggets which come with fun shaped chicken breast pieces, mac and cheese,  corn, and little chocolate cookies with x's and o's for the tic tac toe game on the back. The second was Galactic Chicken Nuggets which have the same as the first except that the nuggets are just ordinarily shaped. The last one is the Pizza Paint Cheese Pizza. It comes with a cheese pizza, corn, and a brownie. 


Packaging: Kid Cuisine comes in blue boxes with fun games on the back and fun stuff on the front. Great kid themed packaging. 

8 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis:  The two chicken nugget meals are very similar as they have pretty basic frozen chicken nuggets similar to what you would get in like a Banquet frozen dinner. Corn is corn, the mac and cheese was pretty decent and the cookies were pretty good. The pizza I liked better than than the nuggets. An average soft type of crust and an okay sauce. Plenty of cheese is also included. Corn is still corn and the brownie is rich and delicious. Despite the fact that these meals have average at best food they are still ideal for kids or even adults like myself for like a 4th meal or snack. And they're so fun.

Snickers

Snickers


What Is It: One of the most popular candy bars it comes with chocolate, caramel, peanuts.


Packaging: It has one of the most recognizable candy wrappers out there with the brown wrapper with Snickers across the middle. Not that exciting but it works for them.

6 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: While there are more exciting candy bars out there this is like old faithful. It's one of those candy bars that I won't go out of my way for but I'm never disappointed to eat one. The milk chocolate on the outside combined with caramel and peanuts on the inside make for a delicious and kinda filling candy bars put there (hence the "Hungry? Grab a Snickers" jingle they use.) All in all like I said it's a darn good candy bar if not unspectacular.

Tropicana Original Orange Juice

Tropicana Original Orange Juice


What Is It: Um.....orange juice. 


Packaging: It comes in a clear bottle with the cool Tropicana logo of the orange with a straw in it. Looks really cool.

8 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: Well health nut type of people don't like this too much  because of how sugary it is but I absolutely love it. It is very sweet because of the sugar they add but it still retains that delicious citrus flavour that you love in an orange juice. I love this a lot even if it drives my sugar up.

Gardetto's Snack Mix

Gardetto's Snack Mix


What Is It: A snack mix with rye biscuits, pretzels, and little breadstick things. All are similarly flavored with a tangy, salty sort of spices. 


Packaging: It comes in a decent enough looking bag with some red colours in the shape of a ribbon. Pictures of the product are on the bottom half. Looks good.

7 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: This is my favourite version of this sort of snack. The rye biscuits the most famous of the types of things in here (I've seem them sold just by themselves.) They have the obvious rye flavour that you would expect coated with the spices that cover all of the contents of the bag. The pretzels are my personal favourite thing in the bag as the flavours of the spices really shine with the saltiness of the pretzel. The breadsticks are ok but nothing special. But the other two components more than justify buying a bag of this.

Tony's Personal Cheese Pizza

Tony's Personal Cheese Pizza


What Is It: A frozen cheese pizza for one that I got at the Dollar Tree for a buck.


Packaging: It comes in the traditional Tony's yellow box with a big picture of the pizza on it. Looks great.

8 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: Tony's is definitely up there when it comes to my favourite frozen pizza companies. This one is not one of their premium pizza's like you would get at the regular grocery store but it's still a fair effort. A good amount of cheese on it and they don't overload it with sauce either. It's a darn good sauce too and the crust is a really good one. This is perfect for a quick,  inexpensive lunch that will fill your belly and tastes good too.

Jack Links Squatch Beef Stick

Jack Links Squatch Beef Stick


What Is It: A beef stick produced by Jack Links. I got this one at dollar tree. 


Packaging: Looks cooler than the average beef stick with the bright orange wrapper and Squatch on it. I like it.

7.5 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: This is a decent enough beef stick. I wouldn't put it on the level of a Slim Jim but considering that Jack Links doesn't specialize in beef sticks it wasn't a bad effort. A nice blend of flavours and spices here and nice, big size too. Definitely worth a buck.

Diet Dr Pepper Cherry

Diet Dr Pepper Cherry


What Is It: Cherry flavoured diet Dr Pepper. 


Packaging: It comes in a grey box with a big cherry on it and the logo in the middle. Good enough. 

6 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: I have no idea how to describe ordinary Dr Pepper flavour. It's like trying to describe the taste of bubble gum. It just tastes like bubble gum. The same goes with Dr Pepper. It's unlike anything else you'll ever drink. I will say the cherry flavour doesn't really add much here as the dominant flavour of Dr Pepper pretty much drowns out any cherry here. Good for a diet soda but might as well get the diet original because the cherry gets lost here.

Lays Cheddar, Bacon, Mac And Cheese

Lays Cheddar, Bacon, Mac And Cheese


What Is It: Potato chips flavored like bacon, cheddar, mac and cheese. 


Packaging: Cool looking brownish, red bag with a bowl of cheddar, bacon, mac on the front. I like it.

7 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: This is a pretty good fan pick flavour here. The bacon is the dominant flavour here along with the sharp flavour of the cheddar. I'm not sure how you would infuse mac and cheese flavour in a chip and I really didn't get it. However the other flavours more than make this a worthy product.

Cadbury Carmello

Cadbury Carmello


What Is It: Creamy caramel encased by milk chocolate. 


Packaging: It's pretty unique for a candy bar wrapper as it's purple and has the logo in the middle looking fancy and a little picture of the product. Real nice.

9 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: This is a simple but fantastic candy bar. The milk chocolate is great and then you've got that creamy caramel in the middle and it just reeks of awesomeness. Be aware it will probably get you sticky so be ready to clean your hands. Still a tremendous candy bar that I highly recommend.
