Iwon Organics. Mesquite BBQ Protein Stix Review.

 

The texture is a bit weird, like a very strange crunchy Cheeto but the flavour is really nice, mesquite BBQ is my second favourite type of BBQ. I will say despite really enjoying the flavour, I'm put off by the texture. I would not buy them again or likely eat them again if offered and I rate them 3.5/5.

Mrs. Freshley's. Pecan Twirls Sweet Rolls Review.

 

This is my first review from this brand, I'm trying the pecan twirls sweet rolls.

These have a poor quality gas station snack flavoour, very fake and with an unpleasant texture and dryness, to be honest rough to eat but I will say they are not the worst I've had. I find it funny that the brand is Mrs. FRESHley when they do not at all feel or taste fresh, of course they wouldn't be that fresh, as they are prepackaged pastries but these feel quite old in taste and texture. I would absolutely not buy or eat them again and I rate them 2/5.

H&H. Thai Honey Mango Review.

 

I've tried one other product from this brand (search it on my blog) and today I'm trying the Thai honey mango.

These have a lovely sweetness to them and are delicious, I also find they are easier to eat than the other brands I've had. I would absolutely buy them and eat them again and I rate them 4.5/5.

Nerds. Cherry Lemonade Gummy Clusters Candy Review.

 

I've done a few reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the cherry lemonade flavour.

These are very tart but delicious, they have really nice and bright cherry and lemon flavours and I think they are probably one of my favourites. I have purchased a few bags since then and I would continue to buy them and eat them and I rate it a 4.5/5.

Thai Express. General Thai Breaded Beef Review.

 

I've done a few other reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the general Thai breaded beef. 

I've never had breaded beef before but it's great, you can't go wrong with breading some meat. The meat is a good texture, not tough to chew or too dry, though it's shaped strangely and the texture of the batter is a little soggy but overall delicious and I still prefer breaded chicken but this is up there. I would absolutely buy it and eat it again and I rate it 4.5/5.

Fruit By The Foot. Starburst All Pink Review.

 

I've been eating these since I was a kid but I'm excited they released this flavour, as I love the pink Starburst and wanted to see what this flavour would be like.

The flavour is spot on, it tastes just like the Starburst but I feel a little muted due to the thinness of the candy but you can fold it for a better tasting experience but it still tastes great and juicy. I would absolutely buy these and eat them again and I rate them 5/5.

La Molisana. Cavatappi Pasta Review.

 

I've done a few reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the cavatappi.

This was one of my least favourite pastas I remember from my childhood and I on occasion have had it as an adult. I don't enjoy the texture and mouth feel to this pasta, it's uncomfortable to chew and feels strange, being this weirdly shaped. I know it's popular for mac and cheese but I think it's my least favourite pasta for mac and cheese but overall any dish. I would not buy it or likely eat it again if offered and I rate it 2.5/5.

Hot Kid. Baby Mum-Mum. Banana Rice Rusks Review.

 

I've done a few other reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the banana rice rusks.

I enjoy the banana flavour, it's a nice light banana taste but the texture is rough for me as an adult but also someone who doesn't like a lot of textures, it's a lot like styrofoam. I would not buy them or eat them again and I rate them 3/5.

Bad Monkey Popcorn. Le Big Dill Review.

 

I've done a few other reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the dill pickle flavour.

These have a really good dill pickle flavour, good in quantity and quality of seasoning and in pickle tang, these are one of the better pickle popcorn I've had. If I still ate popcorn I would absolutely buy them and eat them again and I'd rate them 4/5.

Your Fresh Market. Chocolate Chip Cookies Review.

 

I've tried quite a few items from this brand but I've only done one other review (search it on my blog) and today I'm trying the chocolate chip cookies.

They are just fine, the chocolate is a bit bitter and the cookie itself is a bit too firm and it doesn't have a great flavour but they are better than all the other grocery store fresh cookies I've tried so far, I do not like cookies from Zehrs, Sobeys, Superstore, Farm Boy and Food Basics. I would consider eating them and buying them again if I'm craving a grocery store cookie and I rate them 3.5/5.

Update: my stomach doesn't really like these cookies but I would still consider buying them, as I have found the more I eat them, the more I like them but I would not rate them more than the 3.5/5.

Heinz. Corn and Red Pepper and Carrot Tomato Ring Puffs Review.

 

I've posted one review from this brand (search it on my blog) and today I'm trying the little kids ring puffs, in two flavours: corn and red pepper and carrot tomato, I do sometimes like to try kids snacks, so I thought I'd give them a try.

These are awful, not for adults for sure haha, the flavour is probably as bad as baby food but the texture was fine, I'm personally just not crazy about ring puffs, even of other brands. I would absolutely not buy these or eat them again and I rate them 0/5.

Cheerios. Oat Crunch. Oats n Honey Cereal Review.

 

I've done one other review from this brand (search it on my blog) and today I'm trying the oat crunch, in oats n honey flavour.

The taste is good, like any other oat and honey cereal but the texture is rough, it's like gravel and in order to comfortably chew it, I have to let it soak for a while. I did not enjoy this cereal and I would not buy it or eat it again and I rate it 2.5/5.

Bang Energy. Peach Mango Energy Drink Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the peach mango.

It tastes just like peach mango, good fruity flavours but I think it's too peachy for my personal taste, I like a bit more mango but overall not bad. I don't think I'd buy it or drink it again and I rate it 3/5.

Made Good. Vanilla Cookies Review.

I've tried a few of their products but this may be my first review, today I'm truing the 

I'm still on the hunt for good healthy (organic or vegan or gluten free) cookies and I have yet to find them. These are a nice light vanilla flavour but the texture is awful, like playdough meets chalk meets gritty sawdust, they are awful to chew. I would not buy them or eat them again and I rate them 2/5.

Tate's Bake Shop. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Review.

 

These cookies have been popular for a while now and a lot of my friends love them, I am finally trying them for review. I wanted chocolate chip but the store did not have them, these are oatmeal raisin.

I'm very disappointed, they are boring, skimp on the raisins and lack flavour. I find they are not as good as even grocery store cookies and I'm not a fan of those and on top of it, these were expensive. I would not buy them or eat them again and I rate them 3/5.

Update: I've found after the third or fourth one, they have a weird sweetness to them, like a not good sweet milk flavour, which I find off-putting and I now rate them 2.5/5.

Piper Arms. Bangers and Mash Review.

 

This is my first time at this pub, I ordered the bangers and mash.

I normally make my own bangers and mash but this was my first time ordering it. I'm disappointed, the onion gravy was thin and watery but tasted fine. The sausage had no flavour, it was just meat, with not a hint of seasoning, the most boring sausage I've ever eaten. The mash was pretty good but had no flavour, just potato but you can't really go wrong with mash (unless it's boxed). It came with a side of beans, they were fine too and had a nice tomato-y sauce and I liked the addition of onions. I found the dish was not worth the price but I was happy it came with 3 sausages, for a fair portion. 3/5.

I also tried the coleslaw, it was not the best I've had but was a little sweet as I like it and not vinegary, which is to my taste. 3/5.

Overall nothing I ordered I really enjoyed but I'd consider returning to try other items, preferably on the lunch menu.

Chef Bombay. Butter Chicken Naanpanadas Review.

 

This is my first time trying this brand, this is their butter chicken naanpanadas.

They were really good and I enjoyed the naanpanada shells they were a good firm but soft and felt good to bite texturally, though just tasted of dough. The butter chicken filling but I felt they could be improved with more sauce, more flavour to the sauce and a little more spice then what there is, the kick is very little. Overall I would buy these and eat these again and I rate them 4/5.

Stacked. Banana Bread French Toast Review.

 

I've done a few reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the banana bread French toast.

The banana bread is great and as a dish this was pretty good but it was too sweet for my personal taste, I felt it did not need the icing and out of personal preference I also felt it did not need cinnamon. I'm glad I tried it for review but I would not buy it or eat it again and I rate it 3.5/5.

Ice Cream 2. Banana Boat Ice Cream Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the banana boat ice cream, it's banana ice cream, with marshmallow and fudge ripple.

It tasted like a more fake banana laffy taffy, meets the chocolate banana monkey pops from my childhood, the fudge and marshmallow were great and I liked how all the flavours went together, I just feel the banana was too much and very fake for my taste. Overall not too bad but the banana flavour is haunting and I wasn't wowed. I would not buy it again but maybe eat it if offered but it was good to try once and I rate it 3.5/5.

Bad Monkey Popcorn. Big Cheese Review.

 

I've done a few reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the cheddar popcorn.

These do not have a good cheese flavour, they are cheap tasting to me, like a dollar store popcorn with a little stinky cheeese taste and a seemingly stale cheddar seasoning on them but it wasn't terrible. I would not buy them or eat them again and I rate them 2.5/5.

Kettle. Backyard Barbeque Chips Review.

 

I've been enjoying this brand for years but I had never done a review, this is the backyard barbeque flavour.

They have a good flavour and they have quite a kick to them but I didn't love them compared to other BBQ chips I've had but I do enjoy the texture of kettle chips, I prefer them to regular chips, other than ripple ones that are my favourite. I would not buy these again but I'd maybe eat them if offered and I rate them 3/5.

Cherry Kitten. Clothing and Website Review 6.

 

I've done quite a few other reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I ordered some new pieces that I have not purchased from them before.

Here are the items I chose:

I have once before purchased a cami tank but the cami crop top, skirt and hat are new to me. 

Here is the cart:

Update: I have learned once the package arrived, that this is a mesh cami tank, not a regular cami tank and not what I wanted, I do not own much right now, that I can wear with it, my mistake.

I placed this order June 6th 2026 and today is June 21st 2026 and this is what I've received:

The mesh top is cute just again not what I wanted but there's nothing wrong with it, it's still pretty and I like the print, it's just not practical for my wardrobe. The large fit great and I'm glad I picked that size 4/5.

The angel crop top is so cute, it's a Bratz style top which I love, it's really soft and fits well. I just feel it's a bit big in some places, like the neckline and underarms but I don't feel I'd need to size down but I could've if I wanted 4.5/5.

The skort is cute, I haven't worn a skort in decades, it's a nice colour, fair quality and feel of fabric and overall pretty. I think it would look even better if I ironed it. I'm glad I got it in the medium, as any smaller and the shorts would not be comfortable to wear 4.5/5.

The cow print hat was a little misshapen in the package but it's soft, really cute and I love it, though I'm not sure how much of a bucket hat person I am but I'm not upset by how it looks on me, it's still cute 4/5.

This shopping experience was good but I wanted to say the mesh top was not worth the price, so I rate the shopping a 4/5.
