Vlasic Pickles: Sweet Mixed Pickles (Review)

Vlasic makes great whole pickles, I've tried the dill pickle kind and it was not bad...actually a good snack.
I usually buy Bick's sweet and butter pickles, but I wanted to try Vlasic's take on sweet pickles. I don't know what they did when they made their "Sweet Mixed Pickles"!
It was inedible, I could not stand this unusual mix of flavours. First off, it wasn't even sweet. The pickle juice smelt strange. Overall the taste was like licking a hobo's sweaty hairy upperpit.

My rating for Vlasic Sweet Mixed Pickles is............1/10.
Sorry, stick to making mini whole pickles!!

Swanson dinners: Hungry Man (Review)



Price: $1.99 - $4.50
Suppliers: Walmart, No Frills, most supermarkets, and large grocery stores.

I bought some Hungry Man microwavable dinners. In my Turkey one, there was two slots of green beans, no mashed potatoes, and listen to this....NO TURKEY PIECE!?
How could they screw this up? I was pretty mad...even though I bought these on sale for $1.99, it wasn't worth it. I mean two handfuls of green beans, a mess of brownie, and some gravy? Hardly 1lb of food.

I know it was probably the machinery's fault, but there should've been someone checking them before they are packaged. It's easy to spot dinners without a turkey piece and mashed potatoes.

I really regret buying these Swanson dinners. It's just a sloppy mess of salt and fat. I'm serious, in one box there is over 2000mg of sodium!! A heart attack meal, way to clog my arteries.

I will never buy these again.

Product rating = 2/10

Candy: Kinder Chocolate Mini Bars


Price: $4
Suppliers: Walmart

Kinder Surprise has been longtime a child-hood favourite. There is finally a Kinder bar, I LOVE THESE! White chocolate with a milk chocolate layer. These bars are made into bite-sized pieces for sharing. Perfect for a snack. Each bar is 90 calories, WOW! Talk about thin-sensations!

The wrapper is nice and simply, it's better than the foil they've always used for the Kinder eggs.

I give these a 10/10! Totally addicting! 100% Recommended.

Pets: Greenies Pill Pockets



Price: $5.99 - $8.99 (30pcs)
Suppliers: Walmart, NoFrills, Pet Valu, more.

This is an amazing product!!

Greenies has designed a brilliant way to disguise pills for pets. Dogs and cats almost always hate eating their supplementary pills. This product works by inserting the pill into this unique socket, then closing the seal. You feed it to your pet as a treat, and they won't even notice. You can choose between the provided flavours for your pet's preference. Pill pockets has definitely made my week easier.

My rating 9/10! My pet loves it and doesn't notice the pill at all. This is a MUST-TRY product, absolutely wonderful with small pills.

Pill Pockets Sample = 5pcs

Household: Pledge Multi Surface


Price: $3.99 - $6.99
Suppliers: Walmart, Zellars, SDM, more.
This multi surface spray and wipe cleaner is useful on many surfaces. I find it works great and doesn't leave any streaks. Sometimes I felt like there was a "sticky" after feeling. I've only tested it on wood, glass, and kitchen tiles, but it says it's good for electronics aswell. I won't risk spraying my keyboard with this though, because I find it sprays more liquid than I'm used to. Also, you don't have control over the size of the spray. It's mostly for dusty surfaces and easy to remove substances, not tough messes. I found the button a little tough to push, but it's general fine to work with. It smelt really good, like really strong flowers, so that's a plus.
This product would be 8/10.
I rarely use it. It's not essential to have, but it's a nice way to really freshen up the house while you clean.
