Monster. Papillon Energy Drink Review.

 

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

I really like it, it tastes like peach ginger ale, it's fruity, with a good amount of sweetness and overall really nice. I would buy it and drink it again and I rate it 4/5.

Campbell's Chunky Chili. Homestyle Chili Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the homestyle chili.  For a very long time I didn't like chili but it was only in the last year or so that I have become a chili person and I have been eating other brands of chili, I had forgotten this one but I am now trying it for review.

It's delicious, probably my favourite canned chili so far. The chunks of veggies are great, the spice is nice and overall flavourful and I enjoyed it but I will say I wish the meat was in bigger chunks. I plan to buy it and eat it again and I rate it 4.5/5.

Nature's Bounty. Starfish Gummies Candy Review.

 

I've done three other reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the starfish gummies.

They are cute but have not a great flavour, yes they are fruity but it's fake of course and the texture is soft but I'm just not crazy about them overall. I would not buy them or eat them again and I rate them 2.5/5.

Gorilla Mind. Red Gummy Fish Energy Drink Review.

 

This is my first review from this brand and this is the red gummy fish flavour. 

This isn't a bad dupe to the Ghost Swedish Fish, it's not as good flavour-wise but it's smoother with less buzz  (after letting it sit a few minutes there really is a buzz, so ignore what I just said haha but there is little to no buzz at first) and they smell almost identical. It has a good flavour though, with the expected red berry candy taste. I don't love it so I likely wouldn't buy it again but I'd drink it if offered and I rate it 3.5/5.

Nature's Bounty. Watermelon Bites Candy Review.

 

I've done one other review from this brand (search it on my blog) and today I'm doing the watermelon bites.

The flavour is alright. not a great watermelon flavour, just fine but these are very waxy and I absolutely hate the texture, it ruins it for me. I would not buy them or eat them again and I rate them 1/5.

Pillsbury. Beef Taco Pizza Pops Review.

 

I've done one other review of pizza pops from this brand (search it on my blog) and today I'm trying the beef taco ones.

The flavour is pretty nice, it is indeed cheesy beef taco but as you can see by the two cross-section photos, there is barely any meat, you can taste the meat and the seasoning enhances the beef flavour but there are barely any beef pieces. I would not buy these again but maybe I'd eat them if offered and I rate them 3.5/5. 

Mtn Dew. Voltage Raspberry Drink Review.

 

I've done a few mtn dew reviews (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the voltage raspberry. I've discovered depending on where I get my drinks from the can either says Mountain Dew or Mtn Dew, this is the first one I've posted so far that's Mountain Dew.

This was such a rough experience, the flavour tasted like fake blue raspberry, raspberry and a hint of what I imagined poison to taste like, so bitter and not like something I should be drinking. I then became quite unwell and I thought maybe there was more caffeine in it than I usually consume but I actually discovered ginseng in it, which I do not drink as it makes me feel sick, I didn't drink much of this, so I didn't feel the worst but I was having a rough time. I would absolutely not buy it or drink it again and I gave the flavour 1.5/5 but the overall experience a 0/5, as I could not safely drink this nor wanted to drink this.

Cottage Springs. Ontario Peach Vodka Soda Review.

 

This is my first review from this brand but my my second vodka soda.

I have to stop trying vodka sodas, it's not good at all, one of the worst things I've ever drank in and out of alcohol. The peach is fine but I just hate sparkling and similiar drinks, especially vodka and I like vodka (well like is a strong word but it's my usual drink of choice), I just have learned I hate vodka sodas. It tastes like fizzy tv static vodka and I think vodka on its own is already a quite funky, burning and unpleasant but this makes it even more burning and unpleasant and the peach couldn't save it. I would absolutely not buy this or drink this again and I rate it .5/5.

Kawartha. Mint Chip Ice Cream Review.

 

I had always thought of this brand as fancy and expensive, so I never got to try it but I came across these tiny pints and I thought I'd grab one for review. The other flavours available were limited but did not interest me other than the mint chip which is fine, I usually like mint chip.

Sadly this was a big disappointment, probably the worst mint chip ice cream I've had, it tasted like dirty mint leaves, toothpaste and the chocolate was very cheap tasting, I didn't taste anything though partway through the pint, not a single flavour, so I couldn't hate it at that point but the beginning was rough. I would not buy it or eat it again and I rate it 2/5.

Purdys Chocolatier. Saskatoon Berry, Strawberry Creme and More Review.

 

This was my first time trying Purdys and the service was amazing, the woman was very friendly, knowledgeable and even gave us a sample of their milk chocolate eggs, which I will admit I did not like, I did not enjoy the Purdy's milk chocolate and I found it was a lot like dollar store or grocery store chocolate eggs. 

This time I got a 6 piece bag of chocolates but I would go again to try their ice cream. This time I got the pieces as followed:

Snowball: Snowball: I like the chocolate and the coconut they are lovely together, though the chocolate is a little darker than I like, a little more bitter than I like. The center I didn't love, I'm not sure what the flavour is but I was not a fan, I will say though that the texture of the chocolate inside and out with the coconut was nice 3/5.

Saskatoon berry: cherry meets raspberry like flavour, it's pretty nice and goes well with the dark chocolate, though I still find it a bit too bitter. I don't love it but it is nice and I went into it with no expectations or idea of what it would be like and I was pleasantly surprised 3.5/5.

Mango: I thought I would love this one but it was rough. The mango flavour is like eating a candle meets eating the peel of an under-ripe mango. The chocolate though went with it sometimes for a mangoes and cream feel, so sometimes when I chewed it was pleasant but most of the bites were rough and I was greatly disappointed 2/5.

Strawberry creme: it was almost there, the strawberry was lovely and the dark chocolate went well with it but for some reason it also tasted like a white marker meets floral nail polish remover and I'm even more disappointed than I was with the mango, as I had such high hopes for this one, thinking it would be my favourite. I was looking for something to replace the Pot Of Gold flavour they discontinued but this did not do it for me at all 2.5/5.

Yummi Gummi. Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears Review.

 

I always think chocolate covered gummy bears taste like alcohol meets coffee, which I am not a fan of but these are not bad, the chew on them is alright but I also put mine in the fridge so the texture is different to if you ate them at room temp. Overall I've had better ones from other brands, I don't think I would buy them or eat them again and I rate them 3/5.

Zuru. Gumi Yum Surprise. Candy with Toy Review.

 

I saw these at Easter time, funnily enough right after I watched someone review these online. They did I believe have a Easter specific one but these are the desert animals and they did have a transformers one as well.

It's a bit messy and of course sticky with sugar everywhere but I enjoyed the candy, mostly the top two and the last flavours, each candy has a nice fruity jello-like flavour and are a little sour or tart but the other flavours were not really for me but still tasted good. The prize was cute and easy to put together, I believe there are instructions with it but I did not need them. I don't think I'd buy this again but it was overall a fun and tasty experience, I rate it a 4/5.

Dairy Queen. Strawberry Angel Food Cake Blizzard Review.

 

I've done quite a few reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the strawberry angel food cake blizzard.

I loved the strawberry ice cream, it tastes like a nice strawberry yogurt and the whipped cream was pretty good but I was not a big fan of the angel food cake, the texture was strange like a bit firm yet spongey, which I'm sure is just what happens when you put the cake into ice cream and the cake itself was boring in flavour. I would not likely buy it again but I'd eat it again if offered and I rate it 4/5.

Tim Hortons. Frozen Raspberry Mojito Quencher Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the frozen raspberry mojito quencher.

This is delicious, it's the only time I've ever liked the flavour of raspberry (other than the fruit I do enjoy eating), it's so bright and summery, not too sweet and it's perfect and the cream is a nice addition, it tastes like a raspberry version of a cherry Slush Puppie, I will say I don't know if I taste the lime but that is likely what makes it so bright in flavour, not just the raspberry alone. I would absolutely buy and drink it again and I rate it 4.5/5. 

Tim Hortons. Peach Protein Quencher Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm doing the peach protein quencher.

I felt it tastes like a peach version of a creamsicle or like a Campino candy, just not as good, as the peach was so artificial and perfumy, the drink is good but also not good. I also wish it had a better milk choice, as this milk has no flavour, it's just regular milk and I would've preferred an oat milk, vanilla flavoured milk or even maybe coconut milk. I don't know if I'd buy it or drink it again but I rate it 3.5/5.

Frutee. Strawberry, Peach and Mango Dessert Review.

 

These fruit ice cream have been very popular lately and I'm glad to have grabbed some to try for review. This box contains strawberry, peach and mango. I will note the "skin" of the fruits are soft, they are not a crunchy shell.

The strawberry was pretty good though the "skin" was waxy" but the inside texture was like a sorbet, which was lovely but I felt the flavour was a little bubblegum medicine, fake in flavour but not too bad and it was also not too sweet. I don't know if I'd buy this or eat this again but I rate it 3/5.

The peach had a lovely flavour but too light of a flavour and tasted like a hint of pretty perfume, the "skin" again was soft but this was differently textured and thinner than the previous one, it was a lot like an actual peach skin. The inside texture was more icy and I hated biting into it, also it's just not fun to eat as it's too large and round, which makes sense but not as enjoyable to eat, it's like biting into a baseball. Overall it was really nice and not too sweet, I don't think I would buy it or eat it again but I rate it 3.5/5.

Lastly the mango, it was delicious like a mango yogurt in texture and flavour and it was much softer in the center, giving it a better bitable texture and it was easier to eat, it was a little floral tasting but not in a bad way and again not too sweet. I would consider buying it and eating it again and I rate it 4/5.
