Product Reviews

I keep meaning to write reviews of different food products. I keep saving the packaging to remind myself. Here's a list ... This might be a good time to implement my one-word reviews!

1. Carrot Soup: Creamy Roasted Carrot Soup by Pacific Natural Foods (+ gluten free)
2. Ready-to-Eat Tofu: Sesame Ginger by Pete's Tofu2Go (+ great tasting, +firm, + perfectly prepared, + good cold and heated, - Whole Foods stopped carrying it :-(

Chicken Sausage: #1 Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil, #2 Spinach & Feta, Organic Chicken Sausage by Hans'All Natural, (+ no nitrates, + fully cooked, + pork free, + no artificial ingredients, - $5.99 for 4, I think that was on sale)<>I'm making a tool that writes 1,000,000 recipes using this sausage brand.

9. Nutrition Bar: #1 cashew pecan, #2 blueberry noni superfood nutrition bars by Think Products. Read my product review at AllConsuming.

I want to learn more about chocolate. Cocoa content, antioxidants, how it's made, the issues around the plantation where it's harvested, its medicinal properties. There's so much to know beyond I like it.

1. Chocolate: Cherries & Almonds in Dark Chocolate by Chocolove (+ love poem inside wrapper, + 55% cocoa content, + diary free, + lots of interesting and useful information on the wrapper, - need more almonds)
2. Chocolate: extra dark with cranberries, blueberries, & almonds by Hersheys's (+ 60% cacao, + widely available, - contains milk, - contains high fructose corn syrup)
3. Nutrition Bar: Chocolate Mint by Maya (+ gluten free, + dairy free, + chocolaty, + organic cacao, - a bit gritty tasting)

Some non-food items:

1. Dietary Supplement: Total Effects 7x Beautiful Skin & Wellness Multivitamin by Olay (- expensive, - I didn't see the promised results)
2. Facial Cloths: Cleanses, exfoliates, moisturizes, Target Brand
3. Light Bulbs: 5 Year Long Life Energy Smart Bulbs by GE. (- I don't understand their claim that 15 watt = 60 watt, - I think some of ours have already gone out, I need to start dating them)
