I love coconut and pina colada flavoured things, so this one is right up my alley. It's the perfect blend of rum and coconut, and is nice enough that I can drink it straight over ice. But it's also perfect for mixing in daiquiri/frozen style drinks in the summer b/c it's so tropical and vacation tasting. -
Crown Royal Whisky
The thing I love most about this whiskey is that it's made in Gimli, right here in Manitoba! So it's a good option to support local. It's a more expensive whiskey, but it does win a lot of awards so it's great to give as a gift. I usually don't... +
The thing I love most about this whiskey is that it's made in Gimli, right here in Manitoba! So it's a good option to support local. It's a more expensive whiskey, but it does win a lot of awards so it's great to give as a gift. I usually don't drink my whiskey straight, so I only drink this on special occasions and like to use it in cocktails and mixed drinks. It's nice and warm to drink, with a bit of a sweet vanilla flavour. And a little goes a long way. -
Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur
So good. It's a light creamy texture that's nice and smooth to drink. It's balanced enough that you can sip it straight over ice and not feel like it's kicked you in the throat. A good trick too is to scoop a nice bowl of vanilla ice cream and... +
So good. It's a light creamy texture that's nice and smooth to drink. It's balanced enough that you can sip it straight over ice and not feel like it's kicked you in the throat. A good trick too is to scoop a nice bowl of vanilla ice cream and pour some of this on top, it's super yummy and totally works together. It's also a really good option to dash in a hot cup of coffee, decaf for me. Mellows me out on a cold night. -
Act 2 popcorn butter lovers
This is the fastest way to make popcorn, but it does sacrifice a bit in taste. It's perfect b/c you can make it and not need to have butter around, or a bowl b/c you can eat it out of the bag. But I don't like (actually dislike) the flavour and... +
This is the fastest way to make popcorn, but it does sacrifice a bit in taste. It's perfect b/c you can make it and not need to have butter around, or a bowl b/c you can eat it out of the bag. But I don't like (actually dislike) the flavour and texture of the fake butter they put in it. It just can't come close to making popcorn in an air popper and using real butter. This fake butter leaves a greasy film on the top of my mouth, and it's too salty for me to eat a full serving. I always end up leaving it in the kitchen for someone else to eat. -
Martin's Crispy Apple Chips
I loved these after getting a sample of them at Costco, in the chips/nacho aisle. They're nice and crunchy like unhealthy chips, but these are whole sliced apples and aren't fried. They're sweet and delish and I can easily go for them as a... +
I loved these after getting a sample of them at Costco, in the chips/nacho aisle. They're nice and crunchy like unhealthy chips, but these are whole sliced apples and aren't fried. They're sweet and delish and I can easily go for them as a healthier snack. Found 'em at Costco, so the package size there is nice. -
After Eight Chocolate
What I like about these is they come individually in packets, and a whole lot of them lined up in the box. So they're perfect for a bunch of people to enjoy, they don't take up space, and they stay free from germs. It's the perfect amount of cool... +
What I like about these is they come individually in packets, and a whole lot of them lined up in the box. So they're perfect for a bunch of people to enjoy, they don't take up space, and they stay free from germs. It's the perfect amount of cool chocolate, all you need is one to get the fix. And b/c there's so many to the box you can knick a bunch and no one will know. -
Keurig 2.0 K400 Brewing System

So I had a terrible experience with the original Keurig, and so far this one is miles better. My first one stopped being able to pour out the coffee b/c grounds were going up through the needle and clogging the dispenser, and they designed it so that it couldn't come apart to clean this out. I've had this Keurig 2.0 for 1 1/2 years and it still pours the strong steady stream (stronger than original) that it did on day one, so it hasn't clogged up yet. So I'm guessing they made it better and fixed that problem. I've used all flavours of coffee and tea, and I've got the special plastic cup that lets you use any coffee brand you want in it. It makes a quick cup of coffee and doesn't make a mess. (undecided on recommending it fully b/c of latent problems that occurred with original version... still wary) -
Kit Kat Milk Chocolate Bar

These are also great for people like me who pick apart their food. I eat these methodically first breaking off a finger. Then I bite off the chocolate outside bits, and this takes a long time, and then I eat the wafer. So by doing this the little bar goes a long way in my enjoyment. It's a good quality chocolate. And I have fun breaking apart the fingers and seeing if they break apart evenly. -
Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds Bar
Nothing wrong with these. Such a good quality chocolate, and b/c it comes with almonds it's a healthier choice, right? Perfect for a chocolate fix. It doesn't come perforated with squares, so you have to bite out the sized bites you want. Not... +
Nothing wrong with these. Such a good quality chocolate, and b/c it comes with almonds it's a healthier choice, right? Perfect for a chocolate fix. It doesn't come perforated with squares, so you have to bite out the sized bites you want. Not good for sharing, so you'll have to eat the whole thing yourself. You can't eat one and not feel happier, it's melty and crunchy at the same time. -
Nestlé Rolo Chocolate
These are unique b/c they come in pieces that are easy to share or eat while doing something else, or having loose in a pocket. It's a good quality and has both an excellent creamy chocolate, and a gooey caramel centre. It's more sturdy than... +
These are unique b/c they come in pieces that are easy to share or eat while doing something else, or having loose in a pocket. It's a good quality and has both an excellent creamy chocolate, and a gooey caramel centre. It's more sturdy than Caramilk bars, these one's have stronger chocolate that won't melt or crush as easily. It's fun to unroll the foil and eat them slowly one at a time. -
