Uncle Ray's Cheddar & Sour Cream Chips Review.

I'm picky about Uncle Ray's Chips. I don't like really any of their flavours, the dill and these ones are fine haha. I love sour cream and onion but these ones are cheddar and sour cream. Some of the bites were just cheesy which I thought was kinda bleh and some of the bites were good. I would eat them if only option or offered but I dont like them enough to go out of my way to buy them. I rate them 2.5/5....I wanna say 3 but idkkkk.

Haribo Starmix Gummy Review.

Sooooo I decided to try more Haribo products, they had this starmix which was a variety of their gummy candies. I found this bag was cheaper than getting multiple bags of the single flavour of gummies. I found the majority of them were bland and lacked flavour which surprised me from Haribo. The gummy egg was my least favourite 1/5, then the rings 2.5/5, then the gummy bears 3/5, then the coke bottles 4/5 and my favourite were probably the hearts 4/5...or swap the hearts and the coke bottles, idk yet.

Punk E Doodle. Chocolate Dipped Gummy Review.

Sooo I decided to try these, I love chocolate covered snacks esp gummy bears. This is not a brand I have had before but they are certainly more gourmet than usual chocolate, I didn't care too much for the chocolate flavour there was something uhh different about it mixed with the gummy....I cant tell what the flavour is but its more cream/coffee liquor like flavour......i dont know...., I don't think its just the kind I like. I thought the gummy itself was okay, didn't have much flavour but the flavour was the same for both gummy shapes and it was just eh idk. I rate them 2.5/5.

Glutino Gluten Free Paramsan Garlic Bagel Chip Review.

So for those who didn't know I have a digestive disorder and struggle with a lot of foods. I have decided to swap my regular items for gluten free when I can, I don't most of the time but it's always nice to eat foods that don't make me sick. I decided to try these gluten free bagel chips, the smell is amazing and the flavour is good BUT they are hard to eat, the first time opening the bag was like eating rocks haha. After the bag had been open, they became easier to eat, also I was training my mouth haha like the more I ate the easier it was to eat. It didn't help I have a completely broken tooth haha but I did like trying them out. I won't be getting them again but I did like them :). I had tried recently some frozen burgers, beef brisket gluten free ones that I thought were soooo good and I had gotten gluten free blueberry waffles but those were not good, legit no flavour haha, I guess majority of gluten free means flavour free haha. I rate them 2.5/5.

Vincenzo's Pappardelle Al Pomodoro Review.

Sorry I didn't take a better photo I forgot I was going to review this haha. Soooo I didn't really like it and struggled to eat it, it lacked sauce and the flavour just wasn't for me. I rate it 2/5.

Dairy Queen Funnel Cake Review.

So I decided after hearing people disbelieve I hadn't tried the DQ funnel cake yet and people saying how good it was, I had to try it for myself. I really did enjoy it but it was hard to as I was feel really sick and full at the time I ate it, I didn't need the icecream but it was good of course. I felt overall though the funnel cake was too doughy for such a small piece, it was similiar to a regular fair one but too doughy...I rate it 3.5/5.

Dairy Queen Pretzel Sticks Review.

I'm a sucker for soft pretzels and I had not yet tried the ones from DQ. I decided this time to get them and the pretzel itself was good but I'm pretty sure its a maple butter or SOMETHING haha cause it taste very maple and I don't care for it....I'm kinda bummed out since I tried to dip them in gravy but then the gravy was left with a maple taste yuck. I don't like maple much unless it's syrup. I'm sad they couldn't just butter them normally and salt them...why the maple flavour yuck. I rate them 1.5/5/.

Vincenzo's Italian Panini Sandwich Review.

I liked the sandwich but parts of the bread were rock solid which hurt the roof of my mouth for a few hours smh.....I felt like the sandwich was too small for the price but I DID LOVE THE FLAVOUR OMGGGG! I would get it again if I had the money to spend on the small sandwich...idk I rate it 4/5.

Vincenzo's Mild Pepperettes Review.

I'm a big fan of pepperettes, a long time snack since I could remember. I popped into Vincenzo's and grabbed some mild ones, I might review the hot ones next. My little brother would appreciate the hot ones haha. For these ones, I loved them so did the rest of the family haha, it wasn't too hard to chew and the flavour was great :D I'm looking forward to trying the hot ones :D. I rate them 4/5.

Grama's Kitchen. Waffles Review.

This was my first time having waffles from Angel's Diner. I wanted their special it was strawberries bananas and nutella...but I didnt want the nutella. I asked if I could get it without nutella and the woman went to the back and came back to say no, so I asked if I could get it with just strawberries, I upgraded to real maple syrup for a dollar. I ended up getting the waffle I wanted but with such a small small small amount of strawberries I was annoyed by it. Sigh. Legit and the fact they charged 2 bucks for this small amount of strawberries....SMH!

SO....let's talk flavour, I LOVED IT! Probably my favourite waffles! I loved the taste of the waffle, the strawberries were fresh, the powdered sugar was perfect and who can go wrong with real maple syrup?! I loved it!! I rate it 4.5/5. I would get the waffle again but hope for more strawberries or another waffle on their menu....maybe I would go mixed fruit waffle haha. I should've. Sigh.

Williams Fresh Cafe. Turkey, Apple & Cheddar Sandwich Review.

Soooo I decided to try out an  item I haven't yet from Williams. I decided on this sandwich turkey, apple and cheddar I thought it would be a great combo....WRONG! Lol! I felt it could've been good, the cheddar sticking out the back was stiff and hard, they used green apples which didn't go well with the sandwich, I didn't care for the cranberry sauce as it didn't work well with the apple choice or the bread, I didn't care for the bread either. SOMETHING was really off about this sandwich, I struggled to finish it and if you know me I LOVE FOOD and if I don't finish or don't want to finish it, something is very wrong. I would never get this again, especially for almost 9 FUCKING DOLLARS. The turkey was good and I didn't mind the greens haha I also loved the pickle on the side XD. The size of the sandwich was SAD for the price, esp since the sandwich was alone...no side, no drink...nothing. I rate it 2/5.

Oh Henry! Honey Roasted Peanuts Review.

So there was a limited edition Oh Henry with honey roasted peanuts :D! It was only 88 cents so I said ehhh why not? Lol. I felt the flavour of course was different and I missed the traditional peanut flavour but I found with the honey roasted ones, this was easier to eat and I didnt crack or chip any teeth :D yay lol! I would eat it if offered to me but I dont think I would get it again, I rate it 3/5.
