Food Review Weekly #2
February 3, 2008 | Reviewer: Abi Jones
Welcome to the second edition of Food Review Weekly. What is Food Review Weekly, you ask? It is a biweekly round-up of the best reviews from across the online food review universe.
Eats
Chris at the Healthy Snacks Blog gets Bare Naked at night. Don’t worry, the review is SFW. Getting naked at work? Well, we don’t recommend that.
Caffeinated potato chips. Yeah, I wish I was kidding about that. But Jeremy over at Consumer’s Corner will let you know if they’re worth a trip to 7-11.
Ace of The Impulsive Buy finally eats mayonnaise-less Kraft Basil Vinaigrette Salad. Does he survive? Does this salad involve a significant amount of vegetables? The answer to one of those question is ‘no’.
Drinks
Writers and Artists Snacking at Work share a video review of Vanilla Coke Zero. Don’t worry, there’s also a text version for all of you stuck at the office. Please let me know if the Vimeo system works for you because that’s what I’m using for the Feb. 9th video review.
Screaming Energy’s review of Matrix Mood Enhancing Energy Drink includes the sentence “This drink offered me concentration levels I’d equate to descriptions I’ve heard of Adderall.” That is drink-reviewing genius, folks.
1 Wine Dude, Joe Roberts takes a look at a wine that some consider the Bud Lite of northern Italy. He also challenges another wine writer to an arm-wrestling contest.
Candy
The Candy Blog introduces us to Colt’s Bolts. They look delicious (basically, ten steps up from a Reese’s), but how is there not already a Peyton Manning tie-in, hmmm? Also, who is the cuter Manning? Does Eli have a candy?
Is chic candy worth the cash? ZOMG! Candy taste tests some Vosges haut chocolate available in Vegas and at your local Whole Foods.
Fire Twizzlers sounds like a very dangerous sort of firecracker. Turns out that it is also a new favorite candy over at Candy Addict.
Condiments
Does a fine looking label make for fine tasting hot sauce? The Hot Sauce Blog reviews Desert Pepper Trading Co. XXX Habanero Pepper Sauce. Regardless of the XXX label, the review does not involve pornography.

Food Review Weekly #1
January 20, 2008 | Reviewer: Abi Jones
Welcome to the first edition of Food Review Weekly. What is Food Review Weekly, you ask? It is a biweekly round-up of the best reviews from across the online food review universe. Okay, not universe. More like the online food people in the United States and Canada. The reviews are fresh even if the food isn’t.
Eats
The Healthy Snacks Blog gives you a hand with your resolutions: check out their review of Glenny’s Low Fat Soy Crisps. Now you know which snacks taste like styrofoam and which are delicious.
On the opposite end of the resolution spectrum, Jeremy over at Consumer’s Corner has his own ideas about Freschetta’s Brick Oven Pizza. Does he agree with us here at HeatEatReview.com? Check out his pizza review and decide for yourself.
Over at The Impulsive Buy, Ace’s review of Lunchables Maxed Out Pepperoni Pizza reminds me of why there are so few Lunchables reviews here on HeatEatReview.com.
Cybele takes a look at Snickers Nut ‘n’ Butter Crunch. Does it contain butter? Is it nutty? You’ll have to read her review to find out the answers to both of those questions.
ZOMG! Candy’s intrepid reviewer, Rosa, sacrifices her tastebuds to tell us whether or not Target’s Choxie Key Lime Pie Truffle Bar is worth the cash.
Reading this from an iPhone? At your local convenience store? Before you go any further, read what Paddy O’ Poppycock (no, I did not make that up) has to say about the Pay Day Chocolatey Avalanche.
Drinks
Dr. Patrice over at iateapie.net wonders “Can V8 actually make their LIGHT juice taste just as good as the original, with the same 1 serving of fruit and vegetables per cup, but with 50% less calories and sugar?” Check out her review of V8 Fusion Light Peach Mango Juice. Maybe someone will let me know how the vegetables come into play.
I am not surprised that there’s a Hooter’s Energy Drink. I’m also not surprised that the folks at Screaming Energy managed to find one. I am surprised that they didn’t choose a blonde woman for the can’s image. Way to break those stereotypes, Hooters.
Candy Addict’s Amber reviews not one, but seven different types of hot cocoa on her Hot Cocoa Roundup. Does she test your favorite?
Condiments
If you’re thinking about making your own Buffalo Wings for the Super Bowl, be sure to check out Clint’s review of CaJohn’s Naga Soreass Hot Sauce. Just make sure to wash your hands very, very well after making the wings. Or eating the wings. You laugh now, but you’ll be sorry later.
