UnJunk your Junk Food





UNREAL...Its the only word for this type of candy with no Artificial color, no Artificial Flavors, No Corn Syrup and No Hydrogenated oils.

When I first got into this BzzAgent campaign to try this new candy, I was a little leery that anything that takes out all the bad stuff that makes junk food taste good would probably taste awful.  I signed up anyhow thinking what could it hurt.

Upon arrival of my Bzzkit full of coupons for these candies, I immediately went in search of them.  They were a little difficult to find at first, but I suppose most new products are.  I finally found them at a store in New Jersey near my office.  

I purchased the Unreal 41: Candy Coated Chocolates, Unreal 5: Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar, and Unreal 77: Peanut Butter Cups.  The packaging looks like an 80's video game with a make on a black background.  The 'maze' actually spells UNREAL.  I took them home and stuck them in the refrigerator as I like my chocolate candies in a cold state.  

I decided to try the Candy Coated Chocolates first.   They were delicious.  The coloring used for the candy shell are made from natural ingredients like beetroot, turmeric and cabbage juice.  They made the colors less vivid than the competitor but all the same you are not eating the candy for its color.  The chocolate was smooth and less sweet which makes it a good alternative to the 'name brand'.

I split the Caramel Nougat Bar and the Peanut Butter cups with my husband.  Again in each of these the chocolate was smooth and less sweet.  The caramel was a little drier than those in the commercial name brands and gave it a little more texture when eating.  The peanut butter tasted more like real peanuts and was   smoother than the commercial brand and definitely tasted great!  My husband had a preference of the peanut butter cup as well. 

Overall the product is a good idea and I have and will continue to recommend, however the company needs a little work on marketing and availability.

Strong, Functional Umbrella

This is absolutely the best umbrella I have owned in a long time!  It is functional and fashionable!  I bought the turquoise blue because I am so tired of the sea of black umbrellas I see every time it rains.  I wish more people would have bright colored umbrellas to brighten up those dreary rainy days.  But I regress... This umbrella is different from the moment you get it home.  You can see the difference in just the opening of it when you see the sleeve it comes in and the material the sleeve is made of.  The umbrella is made of that same material. It is thicker than your standard umbrellas you can see that and the material feel is soft yet durable. When you see the handle it has the auto open/close button and a wrist strap.  The feel of the handle is almost like those plush microfiber materials yet made of plastic.  It felt very comfortable in hand and did not slip. When you finally open the umbrella there is a black 'powdercoat' on...

Cute and Functional Desk Accessory

This is a really cute and functional product.  I got this flag for my desk for reasons of needing people to know when I am busy or not, in the office or not, have time or don't etc. It is printed on a very nice plastic and was easily wiped off when I got a little liquid on it before I installed it on the desk.  The metal clip is easy to use.  Just peel off the backing and position where you choose.  The flag clips in easily and holds sturdily and moves in a 360 degree fashion.  When I put the flag up it stays without falling. This item would be great for family reunions, tour groups, big corporate conventions, even for office accents in workers cubicles for a little touch of whimsy.  You can visit their website here at Deskflags.com and see for yourself their stock designs or if you want you can call them at 615-750-5972 or e-mail customflag@deskflags.com. #deskflags Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and...

Listerine UltraClean - Keeps Mouths Clean and Fresh

As you can see I have been a very busy person with product reviews the past month and this one is  slightly different.  Its not food!  It actually helps after eating / drinking. The Listerine UltraClean product in Arctic Mint which I received seemed different than other Listerine products I have tried in the past.  It was lighter blue in color and smelled fresher and not medicinal. The first time I tried this product, I noted a difference in the taste as well as the overall feel of the product when rinsing.  I  followed the directions of the correct amount to use and the time to rinse of 30 seconds.  I then ran my tongue across my teeth and noticed a clean feeling that can only come after brushing, flossing and rinsing.  I used the product 2X a day and after about a week noticed a difference in the overall health of my mouth.  I no longer had a bad breath feel in the mornings upon waking because the product probably continued to work ...
