Fiber One Chewy Bar – Oats & Chocolate
Saturday, September 13th, 2008
I just received my sample of Fiber One Chewy Bars (Oats & Chocolate) in the mail, which provides 35% of the daily recommended value for fiber. The consistency of the bar is quite satisfying – a delicious, sticky treat with the pleasant greeting of chocolate chips throughout.
In my opinion, the slight chocolate glaze on […] -
Mad Croc Energy Gum
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
I wasn’t really looking for energy when purchasing this product, but the bold colors of Mad Croc Energy Gum piqued my interest. Out of the four flavors offered (Wintergreen, Spearmint, Cinnamon, and Citrus), I sampled the last two. For starters, both gum selections offered a great first impression. The flavors were satisfying. However, not too […]

Mrs Smith’s Heavenly 100-Calorie Singles: Brownie
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008
If you want to tiptoe into the 100-calorie snack and treat fad, I don’t suggest sampling Mrs Smith’s 100-Calorie Brownie Bites for your first go-around. You will completely tease your taste buds, as this “bite” is pretty good, especially when eaten in its frozen state. I’ve tried the New York Style Cheesecake Singles with less […]

Turkey Hill - Skinny Minty
Monday, August 18th, 2008
I normally don’t go for the chocolate chip-mint sort of ice creams, but this particular selection caught my eye. While green is my favorite color, there’s just something about eating green ice cream that doesn’t settle well with my taste buds. However, Turkey Hill has created a twist to this somewhat-classic flavor. Inserted throughout the […]

Bold Berry Sour Tic Tacs
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008
Let’s face it – who buys Tic Tacs because they think their breath will smell fresh? I haven’t found one person who puts back the Dentyne, Breathsavers, or Certs in place of a Tic Tac when they’re trying to make a good first impression.
But, this iconic tease of a treat is going nowhere and […] -
Ice Breakers – Sours Tropical
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
If I’m going to sit in front of the computer all day, I might as well find a low-calorie treat to pop into my mouth. Enter the sugar-free confection called Ice Breakers (a Hershey product) that offers a momentary change of pace for the taste buds.
If you purchase Ice Breakers in the grocery store, […] -
Cookies n Crème Kisses
Sunday, July 6th, 2008
What a disappointment! I thought I was purchasing the mini-kiss version of the Cookies n Creme Hershey bar, but instead I felt like I was going to break my teeth when sampling this white chocolate nightmare. Instead of enjoying bite-size cookie pieces (as implied by the name), Hershey’s has inserted crunchy, hard nonpareil-like distractions into […]

Skittles - Chocolate Mix
Monday, June 30th, 2008
Enchanted by the promise of a S’mores-flavored skittle, I bought one of the latest Skittles creations – Chocolate Mix. Visually, it’s hard to tell between the different flavors – blink and you’ll mistake the Chocolate Pudding for the Brownie Batter. However, the collection has its moments.
In 1998, Chocolate Skittles were released and later […] -
Orbit – Maui Melon Mint
Monday, June 23rd, 2008
Every time I turn around – Wrigley’s Orbit gum seems to deliver another creatively fresh flavor, including Mint Mojito (quite refreshing) and Sweet Mint.
Today, I bought Maui Melon Mint on an impulse. The scent that surrounds your taste buds is pleasantly minty with a hint of tropical appeal. Every one kept asking me “what […]
