Caffeine Free Diet Coke Review

Caffeine Free Diet Coke has been on the market since the early 1980s, I have downed lots of it in the intervening decades, as I like to limit my caffeine intake. This diet soft drink’s flavor is easily recognized as vastly different from real Coca-Cola.  Aside from the sweetness fatigue that so blackly marks Diet Coke, the basic cola… Continue reading Caffeine Free Diet Coke Review

Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi Cola Review

Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi Cola has been on the market since the early 1980s, and my family and I have consumed lots of it since then, as I watch my caffeine intake.

Pepsi Next Review

PepsiCo has a new variation of their Pepsi Cola product, called   Pepsi Next.  They’ve come up with yet another super-tasting zippy, sweet drink. As I drink a chilled 12-ounce plastic bottle while writing this, I’m positively moved by how much it tastes like regular Pepsi, that contains lots more sugar.  Plus, I have not experienced any sweetness fatigue with Pepsi Next, though it… Continue reading Pepsi Next Review

Coca-Cola Cherry Cola, Cherry Coke Soft Drink Review

Like PepsiCo, Coca-Cola also offers a cherry version of their classic cola soft drink product, called   Coca-Cola Cherry Cola.  Note that I call this cherry cola, because this is still a cola, and not simply a red cherry pop.  Coke Cherry Cola tastes like they added a hint of cherry flavoring to the original formula, as the… Continue reading Coca-Cola Cherry Cola, Cherry Coke Soft Drink Review

Barilla Plus Multigrain Penne Pasta Review

With so any “white flour” food products in the grocery stores these days, finding this   Barilla Plus Multigrain Penne Pasta   was a delicious and healthful experience.

Stonyfield Organic Fat Free Milk Review

Over the past couple years, I’ve purchased   Stonyfield Organic Fat Free Milk.  The label says that this product is USDA certified organic, ultra pasteurized, and has vitamins A and D3 as additives.  I’ve consumed many hundreds of gallons of name brand skim milk products in decades past, and thus, have a good idea of what tasty-yet-fat-free… Continue reading Stonyfield Organic Fat Free Milk Review

Dinty Moore Hearty Meals Beef Stew Review

Dinty Moore Hearty Meals Beef Stew   from Hormel Foods is a prepared meal-in-a-can that’s been around for a few decades at least.  I remember from boyhood, taking it camping and heating up the can at the fire by sitting it atop the orange-glowing embers for a couple of minutes.  It’s a quick yet deliciously hearty beef stew,… Continue reading Dinty Moore Hearty Meals Beef Stew Review

Pacific Original Ultra Soy Drink Review

I picked up a quart of this  Pacific Original Ultra Soy Drink   for review last week, to try as a low-fat, soy-based substitute for cow’s milk. The package says that this product contains 140 calories per 8-ounce serving, 10 grams of soy protein, has added magnesium and calcium, and is also vitamin enriched.  Nice.  However, the calories-per-serving seems high… Continue reading Pacific Original Ultra Soy Drink Review

Soy Slender Vanilla Soymilk Review

I’ve brought home the Soy Slender Vanilla Soymilk Soymilk for review, to use as a low-fat substitute for dairy-based milk products. The carton says that this product contains just 70 calories per 8-ounce serving, and has just 1 gram of net carbs. They sweeten this product with Splenda (sucralose) instead of sugar.  Nice! I find this… Continue reading Soy Slender Vanilla Soymilk Review
