Land O Lakes, Cocoa Mix Classic Caramel, 1.25-Ounce (12 Pack) (Land O Lakes)
Bulking Up On Land O'Lakes Caramel Hot Chocolate Mix Is (Mostly) Worth It!
by wlswarts
Pros: Great taste and aroma, Nothing truly bad in it, Economic benefit of this package.
Cons: Environmental impact of packaging
In addition to bulking up on teas, I have a tendency to bulk up on great hot chocolates. But sometimes, there is only minimal benefits to bulking up on hot chocolates, based on how they are packaged. In the case of Land O' Lakes hot chocolate mixes, ...

Lindt Swiss Bittersweet 3.5 Oz (100g)
Lindt Swiss Bittersweet Fine Dark Chocolate - Raising The Bar
by rkingfish
Pros: Refined, rich and tasty. Less saturated fat than other Lindt bars.
Cons: Too much of a good thing is never enough.
I am generally not one who is prone to bouts of depression. Discussion regarding “Seasonal Light Disorder”, bitter cold and snow are to be chuckled at and waved-off as trivial patter to most of us residing in the snow belt. Those annual ...

Ocean Spray Craisins - 48oz Bag (Ocean Spray)
Crazy about Ocean Spray Craisins
by notadumbld
Pros: Healthy, convenient and versatile.
Cons: Sugar content a little high but they'd be too tart without it.
I work the evening shift but not enough hours at a time to warrant a dinner break.  With lunch eaten at 1pm and dinner not in sight until after 9pm, I need something to keep me going.  We aren't allowed food at our desk so I need something itty ...

Hersheys Sugar Free Chocolate Candy - 3.3 Oz Pack, 12 Packs

by criteeker
Pros: Tastes just like "real" chocolate
Cons: can give you gas or cause a laxative effect, high calories
People on low-sugar or no-sugar diets have a right to stand up and rejoice.  Having a sweet tooth will no longer be costly with respect to your health.  Maybe it's my aged tongue, but I think these are just as delicious as the regular Hershey's ...

by criteeker
Pros: no sugar, no sodium, no fat, great taste
Cons: none really unless you can't consume Splenda

by artemis8
Pros: good food, nice small salad bar, good prices

There are two Ruby Tuesday restaurants within 10 miles of our home and while I don't often feel particularly in the mood to go there I do tend to always enjoy my meals when we do go. I am often motivated by a coupon in the mail or driving by it ...

Pros: Good for ice cream sandwiches, dunkable, kids love them.
Cons: They are hard and have a fake chocolate taste to them.
Maybe I am the only person that doesn't like Chips Ahoy cookies; I buy them because everyone else likes them but I don't see what the big deal is about them. They are hard and have a strange after taste to them but they are nice to ...

Pros: Tasty. Great for decorating cakes.
Cons: Stick in your teeth.
I would have to say no if someone asked if I like Licorice but Twizzlers Licorice Twists in Strawberry don't come under that category in my mind. These are sweet twists of a gummy substance that I can nibble on, chew on and make last a long time. I ...

Pros: Big chunks of chicken, tasty, convenient pull-tab lid, quick and easy meal.
Cons: Pricey, high in sodium.

Pros: delicious palate of hop bitterness, malt sweetness and berry-like aftertaste; smooth
Cons: Might be a bit too dry and hoppy for the average drinker.
When beer geeks think of winter and/or Christmas beers we tend to associate the season with very spicy dark lagers and ale, but Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale is a beer that completely disavows itself from that notion. This is an outstanding beer with a ...
