amirek says "Astepro is HORRIBLE--makes you nauseous!" about Astepro Nasal Spray

I've been using Astelin for years, and it's been effective until the last year or two, when I noticed that it doesn't seem as effective anymore. Tried Fluonase (increased my blood pressure) and Nasonex (not at all effective--caused thick mucuous drainage, couldn't sleep at night), decided to stick with the Astelin. But, my doctor recommended Astepro, saying that it didn't have the "bad" aftertaste that Astelin did. She assured me the product was exactly the same except for the taste.

Astepro is HORRIBLE--it makes you nauseous! I never really had a big issue with the Astelin. It doesn't taste good, but if one uses the nasal spray as directed, the Astelin doesn't cause excessive post nasal drip, and as such, there is no taste. The Astepro, on the other hand, has a very cloying, annoying taste of artificial sugar. And, it DOES cause excessive post nasal drip--which tastes like kool aid pouring from your sinuses. It made me feel ill almost instantly. Who the heck wants to taste sugary snot...

amirek says "makes super juicy burgers!" about Lipton Onion Recipe Soup & Dip Mix

I like to use Lipton's Onion Soup mix to make big, juicy hamburgers! Just knead half a package of the mix into a pound of lean ground beef, shape into patties, and bake in the oven! My family loves these because they are so juicy and full of flavor! I recommend Lipton's Onion Soup mix to my nieces for making all kinds of easy recipes. I'm a big fan of simple recipes that are quick to prepare, and Lipton's helps me to achieve this goal. :)...

amirek says "this stuff is awful, but send it to me and I'll choke it down!" about Nutella Hazelnut Spread 13oz

First tried Nutella while traveling in Canada, many years ago. I'd never seen it in the U.S. I'm a chocoholic, so I bought some to give it a try. It is absolutely scrumptious! Trust me, if you like chocolate and hazelnuts, you will LOVE this product!...
