It was dubbedRead more about Review: Lay’s Potato Chip”Passport to Flavor” Contest 2016[…]
You know, I’m honestly not a big cookie eater–my late-night snack of choice is usually something salty, like popcorn with melted butter and some grated parmesan cheese on top. Nom!

Yes, Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” has been in full swing for two weeks already, with a daily lineup of holiday-themed movies to choose from. I’ll admit it–they’re my guilty pleasure this time of year. Unfortunately, not all of these sappy romance movies are worth tuning in for–some are painfully trite and obvious–but every once inRead more about Review: The Nine Lives of Christmas[…]
Unlike last year, it didn’t take me long to find all 4 of the Flavor Finalists in the annual Lay’s Potato Chips “Do Us A Flavor” contest–I found them all in one place, at Walgreen’s.

I love trying and reviewing new products–and no, it’s not just limited to new flavors of potato chips or Oreos. I don’t get paid for these reviews, it’s just something I enjoy doing, ESPECIALLY when I find something that actually works the way it promises to.
