Yo Crunch Yogurt M&M's And Oreo Flavours

Yo Crunch Yogurt M&M's And Oreo Flavours


What Is It: It's an 8 pack of vanilla yogurt four of them with m&m's for toppers and four with oreo's.


Packaging: It comes in a cardboard outer container to hold the 8 individual containers of yogurt. It has half M&M's decor and half Oreo. Gets the job done.

Taste/Final Analysis: This was a really good snack/dessert type of thing. The vanilla yogurt makes a great canvas for both the Oreos and the M&M's. I can't really say one is better than the other because I like both equally. A good sweet treat.

Ben Shaw's Cloudy Lemonade

Ben Shaw's Cloudy Lemonade


What Is It: Fizzy lemonade flavoured soft drink produced in England. I found this at Jungle Jim's. 


Packaging: This is a really cool can maybe one of the coolest I've ever seen. The yellow and white colours combined with the artwork on here really attract the eye. I love it. 

10 out of 10

Taste/Final Analysis: This was unlike anything I've ever drank in my life. If you're thinking lemon like Sprite or Sierra Mist then you'll be very surprised. It really is literal lemonade flavour with fizziness. Definitely a novelty item that's worth checking out.

Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes

Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes


What Is It: Chocolate cream filled cupcakes.


Packaging: They had mostly clear packaging which normally would think was a bit lazy but they make make tbe cupcakes themselves look so good that I'd want to show them off too. Seriously those white swirls on top make those thing taste a 1000 better than they probably really do. High marks not necessarily for the packaging but for how good the cupcakes look. 

8 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: These are some rich cupcakes to be sure. Assuming the store serves them fresh (which is about 50/50) they have great moist texture with great rich, chocolatey taste. Then to finish it off you have the delicious cream in the center. A great snack that's best with some milk.

Lil Dutch Maid Lemon Bar Cookies

Lil Dutch Maid Lemon Bar Cookies


What Is It: Lemon flavoured shortbread cookies bought at the Dollar Tree. 


Packaging: Very vibrant and attractive colours really draws the eye in. They also represent the lemon that these cookies taste like. Very nice.

8 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: This was a good take on a classic cookie. Very good lemony flavour to go with tremendous shortbread. And on top of that look at how many cookies they give you in the package. And even further the package costs only a buck. Great flavour and great value make these a recommendation for anyone that loves lemon flavour.

Chex Mix Bold

Chex Mix Bold


What Is It: A ramped up version of theit original plan with some bold spices on it. They have pretzels, little breadstick pieces, some rye biscuits, and some of the the traditional Chex Mix pieces. All of which are covered with the bold spices. 


Packaging: You know for a "bold" product why would you use black and grey colours? I would be using like bright fluorescent "bold" colours. It's not like it looks bad but it could be so much more.

3 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: This is a really good effort by Chex Mix here. The bold is a really good flavour with it not being really "spicy" per say but it really adds a good zing. It works with all of the different pieces especially the original Chex Mix one. This is definitely among if not my favourite Chex Mix product to date.

Candy Sticks

Candy Sticks


What Is It: This is the modern day version of what used to be candy cigarettes. This particular bag has 3 different sorts of boxes including Tom And Jerry, Flintstones, and Scooby Doo.


Packaging: Pretty fun bag and boxes. They could have made the sticks themselves made look different according to what cartoon they were representing but that's a minor quibble. 

8 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: Whether they're called candy cigarettes or sticks they're the same now as when I was a kid. Honestly they're not that exciting of a candy as they're a bit chalky in both flavour and texture. Basically it's just a stick of sugar but somehow all of the fun packaging makes it seem better than it really is.

Sweettarts Chewy Sours

Sweettarts Chewy Sours


What Is It: A roll of chewy, sour Sweettarts. Well that was pretty obvious. They used to be called Shocktarts but that was too clever I guess. They come in pink (cherry), purple (grape), yellow  (lemon), green  (lime), and blue (blue raspberry).


Packaging: It looks pretty much like an ordinary roll of Sweettarts package wise. It does say "sours" on it. Honestly they should have made it look unique in some way. 

4 out of 10


Taste/Final Analysis: Well despite their unoriginal packaging and name these things are delicious. All of the colours have great sour flavour with the blue being the sourest and my favourite too although the pink cherry ones are a very close second. The other flavours are very good too but those two stand out to me ( hey I used too, to, and two all in the same sentence!) Seriously this is a darn good candy.
