Gatorade Fruit Punch

Gatorade Fruit Punch

What Is It: A fruit punch flavoured sports drink.

Packaging: Gatorade bottles look different than everyday bottles. It just has a unique shape as well as the signature Gatorade lightning bolt looking thing. The bottles are always clear so you can see the colour of whatever flavour Gatorade you have in this case red. Looks good.

7.5 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: This is the flavour of Gatorade I get the most. It has a good punchy flavour but it doesn't overdo it either. It's just a very refreshing beverage. When I'm really thirsty this is what I really crave. I'm working my way through all the flavours of Gatorade but this is currently my favourite.

Starburst Jellybeans

Starburst Jellybeans


What Is It: Jellybeans with flavours from Starburst candy. They have cherry, strawberry, orange, lemon, grape, and green apple ; the latter two not being traditional Starburst flavours but are included anyway.

Packaging: The bag is coloured the same shade of yellow as a traditional Starburst package and has lots of pictures of jellybeans and fruit which work here.

7.5 out of 10

Taste/ Final Analysis: This is my current favourite jellybeans by far right now. They are generally sold in mass around Easter and I bought several bags so that's why I'm just now posting this. Anyway the flavours are all very true to their Starburst that they're patterned after. The cherry is my favourite followed by the orange and lemon. I'm not sure why they included the green apple and grape flavours here as they are not included in a traditional Starburst package. They taste like pretty standard grape and green apple. The strawberry is middle of the road. All in all though a great take on jellybeans and I strongly recommend it especially if you like Starburst.

Little Debbie Donut Sticks

Little Debbie Donut Sticks

What Is It: A box of individually wrapped glazed donut sticks. 

Packaging: It essentially has a picture of two donut sticks across the entire front of the box. Certainly lets the product do the talking.

7 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis: This isn't one of Little Debbie's flashier products but it doesn't have to be. It's just a box of no frills, delicious glazed donuts shaped like sticks. These are perfect for dipping into milk or coffee. Great for a small bite for breakfast or packing into your lunch.

Tombstone 5 Cheese Pizza

Tombstone 5 Cheese Pizza

What Is It: A frozen pizza that comes with mozzarella, cheddar, parmesean, asiago, and romano cheeses.

Packaging: Tombstone always uses pictures of their pizzas for their presentation and it's convinced me more than once to buy a pizza including this time so high marks here.
9.5 out of 10

Taste/ Final Analysis: I'm a huge fan of Tombstone Pizzas and this one didn't change my mind. A wonderful blend of cheeses that really explode with flavour. The cheddar and the parmesean stood out the most to me. They were way to heavy handed with the sauce here which took away from the awesome cheese flavour some but not all the way. Normally I prefer pizzas loaded with meats but this meatless version certainly satisfied me. Just have some napkins ready.

Swedish Fish

Swedish Fish


What Is It: Cherry flavoured,  fish shaped, gummy candy.

Packaging: It comes in a bright yellow box with a picture of a red fish on it. Good enough. 

6 out of 10


Taste/ Final Analysis:  I'm a big fan of gummy candy as well as cherry flavoured stuff so in theory this should be my favourite candy in the world. Well it falls well short of that. The texture is right but I feel like it lacks in cherry flavour. I can taste some cherry but it's almost like it's combined with a strawberry flavour. I'm not sure if that's what they were going for but that's what I taste. It's not terrible but it's not epic either.

Wild Joe's Hot Style Beef Jerky

Wild Joe's Hot Style Beef Jerky

What Is It: The title says it all. 


Packaging: A red package with a cool logo certainly does the product justice. 

7 out of 10

Taste/Final Analysis: This is one of my favourite beef jerkys out there. It has a great spicy flavour to it that will get even the spiciest tongues attention. It has great texture as well as long as you don't get an overly dry pack. It is also a little on the pricey side.  But to me it's worth it.

Sunny Delight

Sunny Delight

What Is It: Orange juice looking drink that isn't really orange juice but is kinda citrus flavoured.

Packaging: Very vibrant colours and distinctive looking bottle. Pretty cool.
8 out of 10

Taste/Final Analysis:  The first thing I'll say is despite the way this looks this is not orange juice at all. It tastes kinda similar but is a ton sweeter. Also if you're looking for the health benefits of orange juice or any other health benefits then you wont find them here. It's very refreshing on a hot summer day though so if you want a cool drink and don't care that you're drinking a ton of sugar then this is for you.
