Reviews

It has been a long time since I’ve written. (I had some health with family and myself, so I have stepped away from blogging.)

I had a chance to try a few new products and I thought I would give my feedback.

Coca-Cola Spiced

First of all I prefer Pepsi over Coca-Cola (as with Coke you can polish and clean, never heard that with Pepsi.).  Pepsi is just more mild.

Anyway I bought a 20 ounce bottle (which was like only thirty cent less than a two-litter.)

I kept seeing the commercials for the product. I’m a huge fan of raspberry as Coco-Cola Spiced has Raspberry and other flavors. I took a sip and reminded me of cough syrup. It was too sweet to the point where it was almost soured.

I messaged the Coca-Cola site to complain as I didn’t get even a third of the bottle down. It took me three emails just to get a refund.

I cannot give this product a good rating.

Note: I still like Cherry flavors of Pepsi, Coca-Cola and 7up.

Just not my cup of soda …

KitKat: Chocolate Frosted Donut

It really does taste like a donut. It can be too sweet it you have all four pieces. I shared mine with family which keeps the sweetness down.

It really does taste like a donut. A- for my rating.

Reese Caramel Big Cup

It was a bit sweet and rich. It reminded me of peanut butter with honey. I think it would work better with a darker chocolate.  Rating A

I shared it as I think it would be too much on my own.

I would be just as happy with a regular Reese.

Popcorners: Kettle corn

It reminded me of a mixture of tortilla chip and rice cake. It tasted like sweet kettle popcorn. It was addicting. Rating A- (It would have been A+, but a bit too high to buy everyday. It was almost three dollars for a small bag.)

Popcorners: White cheddar

It reminded me of a mixture of tortilla chip and rice cake. It tasted like cheesy popcorn. It was addicting. Rating A– (It would have been A+, but a bit too high to buy everyday. It was almost five dollars for a bag.)

Door Dash

With the pandemic, we have been ordering more food, especially with the stimulus for help.

I do NOT like UberEats. .. they either deny payment or they cancel the order due to lack of drivers. (Even my own health insurance uses Lyft over Uber. . . that is another story.)

So we have tried different restaurants both chain and local. We have gone through DoorDash, the app is easy to use. They have all been quick and easy deliveries.

I love getting my McDonald, Taco bell, Chipotle, Subway, KFC, and Rally delivered. Their food is a bit pricier, but I just think it has to do with extra charges for delivery.

Bob Evans is by far the best for the money, especially the country fried steak meal for four. You get soup, the main on-tray, two sides, and cookies with banana bread, rolls, or biscuits. Super cheesy MacN’cheese It comes up to around 45 dollars before tip. It’s a lot of food. Grade rating: A-

However I have been disappointed with a few local places. . . a local soup place charged us 45 dollars for two soup: mind you one was lobster bisque, but it was too much for soup. For that much money, I could make twice the amount. The bread they served was small and crumbling. There were no crackers. I wouldn’t go back. I liked their plastic containers, still use them. Grade rating: C-

I went to Cracker Barrel today, and I really felt we paid too much for our food. The sides were small, the chicken and dumpling had no taste. The broccoli was cooked well and the chicken was moist. I have a variety of side which was a good thing, but they were way too small of portions. Muffins too small. Macaroni N Cheese very dry. Grade Rating: C-
