  Looks Like...   Like someone stole half my Oreo!! The outer contained 4 snack-sized packs, each containing 4 little .. cakes! Tastes Like... The rice-half is rather bland, but the chocolate half was delicious!!! Curiously crunchy, but then melts in the mouth.. Mmm.. Rating : 4/5 - the bland bottom lets it down, but otherwise really nice! Mum : ooh, these are really nice! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Rice cakes are one of those things that everyone really tries to like, but actually doesn't. Topping them only hides their blandness. Infusing them with something else, just proves that they are too bland to eat without anything in!

Aha! Been waiting ages for this. The long bank holiday weekend didn't help, either.. August's box has arrived!! Cheat Sheet Note : I won't be going in a set order, this month, because the last item was is depressingly dull, and is sat in the cupboard alongside 3 identical tins!!! Additional Note : Last month's box contained a Peri Peri Chicken meal maker thing, but Mum's ulcer has been playing up, so it's still sat in the cupboard. We might end up giving it to my sister, or something.. Item One   We tried the Hazelnut, today. Well save the Salted Caramel for another day. Looks Like...  Tastes Like... Not that great. I thought it was just me, having gone off chocolate, but Mum didn't enjoy it, either. "Too" rich? Rating : 2/5 - Would've proffered a normal KitKat -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

You can't normally go wrong with a KitKat, but I wasn't fussed on these either.

Item two  Looks Like..  Tastes Like.. I'm not a fan of a lot of "cheesy" flavourings. Quavers I can stand, but Wotsits can fuck right off.. I dipped a teensy bit of the "cheese" on my finger and .. Eeeeeuuueeewwwww!!!!!! I ate the crisps and the tomato dip, without the vile cheese. They're ok. Rating : 3/5 - alright, but I'd rather have a great big bag of Doritos and some proper spicy salsa with them.. |update| Nah... |update| I gave up about halfway through. The salsa got more and more sickly as I went on. Updated Rating : 1/5 - Horrible leftover taste in my mouth.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I'm not convinced that any cheese with nachos IS actually cheese. I think it's melted udder scrapings. Foul stuff.
And yeah, give me Doritos and a spicy dip and I'm a happy bunny. In fact, get rid of the dip and just give me spicy Doritos!

Me and mum had the other KitKat Senses, today. (Each "bar" is 3 little KitKats) Salted Caramel.. and, I honestly couldn't taste the salted caramel, anywhere. It just tasted like a regular KitKat.. *shrugs* Rating : 0/5 - Could've just had a KitKat. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I've never been a caramel fan, but my wife is. She loves fudge, toffee and stuff like that. Even she doesn't get why salted caramel is such a "thing." I can't tell the difference at all. She can't really either.

  Looks Like..   After the pure crappiness of those horrible Advent Teas, I sure as hell wasn't having it black!! Tastes Like.. Alright, I guess. I mean, it's not the best chai tea I've had. The Tassimo Chai Latte are the best of the best!! But these are alright. It's going to take me ages to get through all these bags, though! Rating : 4/5 - If I were more of a tea fan, I'd probably have given them 5!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I'm skipping the next item.. > Reveal 🔎 Next ..   Looks Like ...  Exactly as you'd expect. Tastes Like ... I had slight flashbacks to those godawful Ensure drinks they had me on, in the hospital, but thankfully it's not as bad as those. Tastes a lot like Galaxy chocolate. Nice! Rating : 5/5 - yup. Can't go wrong with a chocolate milkshake! .. unless it's an Ensure Plus! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

We give out Ensure (and Plus) to our patients from time to time. In 25+ years of working inn the NHS, only one person has ever liked them (and only certain flavours). Much as I love chocolate milkshakes I was never tempted to try one of those! But yeah, chocolate milkshakes. Yum! |

 There are three of these to nibble through. Today we'll be trying the strawberry ones. .. because my post-op tastebuds can't stand strawberry..  Looks Like..  Tastes Like... A migraine coming on!!!! They taste alright, though. The strawberry and yoghurt mix into a strange blend that tastes quite a lot like Juicy Fruit Gum! Nice! Rating : 4/5 - serious migraine coming on!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

What the fuck is a unicorn flake? A mythical beast rubbed up and down with a brillo pad? A cryptid with exzema? The mind boggles. |

Part Two Looks Like...  Tastes Like... I've had yoghurt coated raisins before. They taste exactly like yoghurt coated raisins, except they've spelt yoghurt wrong. Silly sausages,, Rating : 4/5 - I prefer chocolate coated raisins. But what of the unicorn flakes?? Hype! Stay tuned, as I open those, tomorrow!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

If you'd've told me, 13 years ago, that in 13 years time, I'd be sitting eating Unicorn Flakes on SoCoder's 13th Birthday.. I'd've thought you a crazy folk!! Looks Like..  Tastes Like.. A bit too floury/powdery, if I'm honest. The fruit flavour is really quite powerful, but not too sweet, either. They're .. slightly chewy, but they also fall apart as soon as you do try to chew. Odd texture, no doubt helped by the powderyness. They're ok, but out of the three packets, I think I actually preferred the strawberry, even if they did give me a migraine almost immediately! Rating: 3/5 - I'd rather have seen the Unicorn live, than be slaughtered for these flakes. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

  No green jelly..?! But.. I LUUUUUUUURVE green jelly!!! Looks Like..  Eeuuuwwww!!! Tip : Don't squirt it into a bowl.. just suck it from the pack, like you're some kind of Astronaut or something. Tastes Like.. Jelly.. It's jelly... *shrugs* I had the strawberry one. It tasted like Strawberry Jelly.. Rating : 5/5 - Jelly's jelly.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

FYI : The Orange jelly tasted like Orange jelly, but the Apple and Blackcurrant was neither Apple nor Blackcurrant, and definitely wasn't very good.  Looks Like...  Tastes Like... I'm not a wine lover. I'm not really a drinker, either, so.. Um. Tastes alright, I guess, but I certainly wouldn't be grabbing a second glass. Rating : 4/5 - it does have a nice light fruity taste, but it's not for me. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Another box??! Ok!! Cheat Sheet FYI : Things I didn't finish from the last box. > Reveal 🔎   Looks like...  Tastes Like... How can you do Lucozade without the sugar? WHY would you do Lucozade without the sugar? I've never been a fan of Original Lucozade, but the Orange Lucozade is my favourite of the many flavours they do. Unfortunately, this LucoZero (better name right there) tastes more like Original than it does Orange, and.. Eeeuw... Rating : 3/5 - OK if you prefer Original Lucozade. Not so much if you don't. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

  Looks Like...   FYI : Recipe - Source Tastes Like... Alright! Mum enjoyed it, which we weren't expecting. The traditional Irish mother is slowly starting to try out "fancy" new foods!! The rice could've done with a few minutes more. We halved the recipe, since there's only two of us, but I think the halving of the Chicken Stock was too much of a reduction. Probably go for 3/4 next time.. Rating : 5/5 - but if I'm honest, that's more the recipe than the rice. Rice is rice!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

  Looks Like..   Tastes Like... The berry one was a little more flavourful than I was expecting. With all those oats in there, I was fully expecting a bland and tasteless flapjack taste, but. Nope. Nice and fruity! Similarly, the chocolate one was incredibly chocolatey tasting. The fruity one was a little softer than the chocolate one, leaving behind an unsurprising fruity aftertaste, whilst the chocolate one was much more nutty. Rating : 5/5 - Really nice! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
