The fact that this cereal doesn’t come with an actual Hot Wheels car, as a throwback to the days of getting free prizes inside the box, is a missed opportunity if not a damn shame. Still it’s fun enough to eat. The taste of the tires is akin to lemon Trix, but of course the marshmallows, which are also skimped on, are the best part.

You’re supposed to mix this with Southern Comfort whiskey, “pour in glass and garnish with a cinnamon stick”. I prefer to drink it from the carton as is, stone cold, with graham crackers or shortbread cookies. The texture is “creamy & rich” as advertised. The taste, while not “delicious”, is rather pleasant.

This Cereal marks Disney’s 100 Years Of Wonder. Walt founded the company back in 1923 and it continues to make a cultural impact on the world a century later. The idea is to celebrate that accomplishment with Confetti Cake and it tastes as good as, if not better than, the real thing. Unfortunately it’s only available as a “limited edition”.

The best part of this song is the beat, but it would sound even better if it fully embraced its reggae roots. The bassline, for example, should’ve been set more prominent in the mix.
Still the song is anthemic despite its clunky title. The “puffing” bit ties in well with the music; Rastafarians are known for smoking ganja; and Scarface’s verse is a highlight.

I don’t generally like Blueberries, but these Muffins, which can be found at your local Walmart, are damn good. That’s mostly because, while the fruit is plentiful, its flavor isn’t overwhelming. It’s mostly the Muffin cake you taste; it’s sweet, soft and fluffy from top to stem; which makes me wonder if they’ll be even better plain.

This knockoff version of Frosted Flakes may be a Great Value, but it isn’t “gr-r-reat” like Kellogg’s. It’s surprisingly close though. You have to eat it the same; pour small bowls and chow down before the Flakes get soggy; to get the full experience, but it is comparable. The mascot; a polar bear as opposed to a Tiger; also better utilizes the double meaning in the name.

I guess this; one of several Safe And Fair Granola varieties; tastes enough like Banana Bread. It’s certainly good in almond milk. That’s despite the presence of what looks like rice puffs. Perhaps those are the bits of “real bananas” promised on the package.

This Noosa dessert is made with Honey, but the flavor, blended with Vanilla Bean; it’s Frozen Yoghurt Gelato or basically Italian ice cream; is more akin to butterscotch or toffee. Not that the distinction matters when it tastes this good, or “mmm-worthy” as the tub puts it, going down.
my rating : 4 of 5
The best way to enjoy this Frozen Yoghurt Gelato is to melt it down to a goo. That’s how I prefer to eat most ice creams, but this Chocolate Fudge is especially improved that way as it becomes a lumpy delight. The Fudge bits have the taste and texture of cookie dough in a mug of thick hot cocoa. “Mmm” is right.
my rating : 4 of 5
It’s hard to go wrong with Strawberry ice Cream and this Frozen Yoghurt Gelato ranks among the better. It is sweet, tasty and “velvety smooth” as advertised. There isn’t much more to say, though I wonder why the ingredients list includes an undetectable amount of lemon juice.

This is a close fight that results in a draw. Valentina Shevchenko suggests she would’ve won if not for the judges feeling pressured not to make Alexa Grasso lose her Championship title on Mexican Independence Day. A “10-8” Round 5 score for Grasso, which even the commentators imply is ridiculous, suggests she’s probably right.
Grasso wins in cuteness, even when bloody and bruised, but not much else as Shevchenko is generally the better fighter. It’s no blowout though by any means. Grasso fights like a champion, ending the bout with an impressively snappy submission attempt, and seems to think she actually (literally) won during her post-fight interview.

This is one of the best Bangs. There are artificial flavors added; it’s fruit punch that “contains no fruit juice”; but that’s okay. The taste is good enough to overcome the sting of the carbonation; a rarity in the beverage world. I also like how the Power bit ties in with the concept of energy drinks. The Punch part would make it a perfect boxing or MMA sponsor.
