summerchicken says "Superb value" about Coby MP610 (4 GB) Digital Media Player

summerchicken — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:09:11 GMT

I bought the Coby MP610 for my son for a birthday present. I bought it at Big Lots, paid $30, and feel like I got a really good deal. It has survived the wear and tear associated with having an eight year old as an owner for three months. The process for transferring the videos is pretty easy, although you kind of have to figure it out yourself. The owner's manual is a bit fuzzy on the issue, although I suppose that can't be helped. It has a very user friendly interface, however the earbuds broke after only a week.

summerchicken says "Wow! Where did these come from?" about Nabisco - Golden Oreos

Nabisco Golden Oreo Sandwich cookies are definitely a home run hit! I have grown up with original and Double Stuf Oreos, and now serve them to my children as well. But when I tried the Golden Oreos---look out! The difference in taste only improves upon a classic. I must admit I have been hesitant to try them. I mean, really, what in the world could top an Oreo? A Double Stuf Oreo. What tops a Double Stuf? Nothing, I thought. But I was wrong! I cannot even imagine what I would do if there were Double Stuf Golden Oreos. It's bad enough that I experimented and dunked them in Cool Whip. Oh yeah, yummo.

summerchicken says "Fantastic taste at 10 calories! WOW!" about Fuze - Slenderize Blueberry Raspberry

summerchicken — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 01:41:18 GMT

The Fuze Slenderize Blueberry-Strawberry flavor is out of this world. It completely quenches your thirst with a burst of flavor. Apple juice is listed as one of the ingredients, and you can tell a small hint of it. I, for one, love apple juice so this as a plus as far as I am concerned. The portion size could be bigger, I won't lie. It would be nice to not have to buy two to get the job done, but if you can find a buy one get one free coupon I suppose you are in business! But i would buy two without a coupon, and that is a rare thing.

summerchicken says "Flavors don't mesh well" about Vanilla Coke Zero

summerchicken — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 01:34:31 GMT

The Coca-Cola company has definitely done something revolutionary by retaining the taste of the full calorie soda with the diet soda calories. That being said, there is a slight difference in taste, but nothing you can really notice in plain Coke Zero. However, when you pair it with the Vanilla flavoring the result ends up making the two flavors argue with each other instead of complementing each other. Vanilla Coke Zero was something I was looking forward to, but ended up not liking at all. Yet another twelve pack for the giveaway pile! Maybe this one will be easier to get rid of!

summerchicken says "Not what you think it is!!" about Dr Pepper - Diet Cherry Chocolate

summerchicken — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 01:29:57 GMT

I am a lifelong lover of Dr. Pepper. I drink it first thing in the morning instead of coffee. I mourned when I had to start drinking water out of my 64 oz big cup instead of Dr. Pepper. And I do view it as almost a dessert, as the ad campaign suggests. So imagine my excitement when I saw the Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate!! Oh yum, I thought! Uh, no. A million times no. Those flavor combinations just weren't meant to be. I gave them away, and i had a hard time doing so. No one wanted to take them off of my hands, even as a freebie. Even the kids hated them.

summerchicken says "Only for singles, and only if you have a dishwasher" about Magic Bullet Blender - High Speed Mixing System

summerchicken — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 13:49:54 GMT

When we received the Magic Bullet for Christmas last year I was ecstatic. However, my elation was short lived. The instructions are not written clearly, and they are a bit confusing. Even for my husband, and he is good at that sort of thing. The attachments are confusing, and the amount of chopped food it produces is better suited for singles than married couples or families. Families should just bite the Bullet, ahem, and splurge to get the big food processor. I cannot attest to its durability because we only used it once and gave it away. Couldn't regift because we already used it. Ding dang, ya'll. ...
