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.

Coffee Lovers Unite!

For those of you discerning coffee lovers out there who also prefer being more environmentally friendly, I really think this product is for you. I have probably done it all when it comes to coffee, the 12 cup brewer, the 8 cup brewer, the 4 cup brewer, the single cup brewer, the on the go brewer, the single coffee bag similar to teabags, the inexpensive and expensive coffee house coffees, etc, etc.  All of these methods being time consuming, expensive or just not true coffee tasting coffee (too weak, too strong, too bitter, not hot enough...). The real dreamy coffee taste I want to recreate are the coffees I had traveling through Europe.  I can still remember sitting in a cafe in Paris right near the Eiffel Tower a few years ago enjoying the sights and sounds of the Seine rushing by, tourist watching (although I was also a tourist) and enjoying a cup of coffee in the mid morning hours.  I had just about given up on the luxurious coffee taste of my overseas trips...

Spritz'n Clean Amazing Ion Phone Cleaner

I really like this product.  Cell phones and tablets are among the dirtiest technology that we cannot live without these days.  Do you realize that if you do not clean the screens of the units and continue to use them you are just piling on the germs and spreading them around? If the unit touches your skin on your face when you are using it the germs make contact and this is a perfect a Not to mention the natural oils in your hands smudge the screens and make them unreadable. This is a great product for taking care of those nasty devices and ensuring you get a shiny screen and no germs to spread. You fill the chamber with the cleaning liquid and it comes out in an ionized fine mist on the screen.  You use the special MicroChamois that is infused with silver to wipe the screen.  Silver is known to have antimicrobial/antibacterial properties. That's it.  It could not be simpler and it works!  You get a nice carrying case for the device and a nice pouc...
