The most awesome movie of 2007! It is just so rewarding watching this movie; Lily is super adorable and it's fun watching the other characters warm up to her.

The short animation sequences are also very cute, and not as in-your-face as in other movies that try to pull off what this movies does, which is a simple and sweet story about two oddballs.

I'm not a big fan of Lays chips, and these do little to change that.

They're so salty! Oh my!

The "gravy" taste is too subtle, if even noticeable.

Some of the best action sequences I've seen in a long time!
Makes up for the boring 3rd installment.
Justin Long was more annoying than I thought possible.
I wish there were a Die Hard movie made every year... possibly with a different John McLane, though they'll have pretty big shoes to fill in replacing Bruce Willis. Willis is as good in this one as in the very first one from 1988! So that says a lot about this version.

I wanted to see waaay more of that badass french ninja dude (aka the hamster hehehe)

Probably the most addictive and the richest tasting of all the Ruffles chips.

I can polish a small bag pretty easily, but any more makes sickly.

It was okay. Way over hyped with not much of a story. The fight scenes were cool, but after a while it was just more of the same and looked really fake at times. Was very faithful to the graphic novel though.

I wish it were more historically accurate, because many will just assume that it and the novel are accurate when they're not, nor meant to be.

It kicked ass! The fight scenes were much better than any of the previous movies. The turtles looked really good in CG, but the humans looked kinda stupid, especially April, who looked like a stick figure.

Splinter and all the monsters looked really good as well.

The story itself was nothing special, but very entertaining with no annoying boring parts.

Looking forward to the next one for sure.

I like that I got a big whiff of cinnamon as soon as I cracked open the seal. I didn't like the cinnamon after taste that lasted a bit longer than it should have.

I'd prefer this bar better as a regular sized kit kat rather than the chunky. Just seems like the subtle cinnamon would benefit from smaller crispier bites rather than big chunks o chunky. I'd still rather munch on the original than this one, which is the only reason I gave it three rather than four stars.

OMG!

The Reese with Caramel is unbelievable! Peanut-buttery, with a sweet caramel after taste. More than makes up for the usually waxy chocolate coating. Who would have thought that caramel and peanut butter would be so divine. I can't think of another bar that combines the two so perfectly.

Huge thumbs up for this one!

I was confused at first as to what a "tandoori" flavour might be considering tandoori is a type of oven, not really a flavour. I can imagine that this chip is the byproduct of a failed curry chip attempt. Aside from being the most ethnic tasting chip it is also probably the spiciest Dorito chip I have ever tried! Its spiciness comes from a mixture of chili and paprika and will stay in you mouth even after two cups of water.

This is what the paprika Pringles should have been like.

I highly recommend you try these!

Peanut butter Twix is back! Impossible to find in Canada for nearly 10yrs has finally returned to local stores. The peanut butter is much creamier than the caramel so it doesn't do that stretchy caramel thing. The bar isn't as heavy on the peanut butter as the kitkat, which leaves space for the cookie and chocolate taste.

But why is it 8% smaller than the regular Twix, at 52g instead of 57g? Not cool!

The sweetness reminds me a lot of their Bold BBQ chips, which were good but got boring quickly.

The hotness of these chips reminds me a lot of hot n spicy Thai soup! It's the same kind of sweet hotness.

Overall a pretty satisfying chip.

The first time I tried this beer it arrived in a large official glass and the full top half of the glass was filled with a light frothy foam.

Since then I've been finding excuses to splurge on this refreshing Belgian beer whenever possible. Duvel is a slightly golden pilsner-like beer. The 8.5% alcohol is hardly noticeable and is concealed well behind its crispyness.

It starts off a bit fruity with hints of caramel. It then settles down and becomes a bit tarty and dry. The carbonation is always very strong and contributes to its dryness. The last few sips are comfortable yet have a nice kick in sweetness just as the carbonation and head dissipate.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to drink this beer out of a proper glass. Drinking out of the bottle will give you a mouth full of bitterness with little enjoyment. The large glass is ideal for locking in the carbon-dioxide and creating a light yet thick foamy head.

Duvel is very similar to another famous Belgian beer, Stella Artois, yet not as bitter.

Look for it in the distinctive "stubby" 33cl bottle.

I can't get enough of this cola! It's my drink of choice when I need a 3pm sugar and caffeine boost.

There's no nasty after taste like other fancy colas and the lemon is subtle and slightly tangy. The best thing about it is that it tastes just as you'd expect it to; it doesn't try to overpower you with lime. Only bad thing is that it tastes worse when flat than normal coke, but if you drink it soon enough then that's not a problem.

Points for being vegan and from Belgium, but they're not much better than typical Pringles chips with a hint of sweet paprika. They're more like BBQ chips than paprika.

Don't plan on buying these to satisfy your paprika cravings, because you'll be disappointed.
