Product Reviews

These are foods I eat on a regular basis for its long shelf life, convenience, and pure tastiness. A few things to note:

  • I consider myself a pretty critical reviewer, but always try to be fair and follow up criticisms with descriptions or comments
  • All the opinions & scores I give reflect my opinion only unless otherwise stated.
  • *warning* Reviews are usually extremely detailed (i.e. can be long)
  • All items enclosed in*_____*” are complimentary samples from the manufacturer, but WILL NOT impact my review or the score I give.
  • Scores range from 1 -10. Anything <5 points “I would not buy this if I were you” and 10 being “AWESOME!!”

Hi there!

I see you’re a fan of Geek yogurt, but that you don’t really like the Stonyfield Oikos Vanilla. I’d love to send you some free coupons so that maybe you can try out some of the other flavors of Oikos and let your readers know what you think. Did you know it’s the only organic Greek yogurt on the market? Just shoot me an email at KDrociak@stonyfield.com and let me know where to send them if you’re interested.

Best,
Kristina

can I just say thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this amazing blog. All of your reviews are awesome and all so right on! There is yet to be a product you’ve reviewed that I didn’t feel exactly the same about.
Keep up the good work:)

Wow. Girlfriend I stumbled upon your blog and have seen your comments around the blogosphere. This is seriously one of the most organized AND most thorough, comprehensive and did I mention organized and detailed product review sections I have ever seen. Amazing work. Truly amazing.

I also lived in Chicago for 5 yrs, my husband is (was) a native, and our family’s are back there. And Iove that you have a huge section on restaurants, too.

Wow just when I had made the decision to stop adding people to my googlereader, you’re going in!

Keep up the fantastic work!!!!!!!!!!!!
