Initially I had a mixed impression - the chocolate on top was of surprisingly good quality. So often these types of products have a waxy texture and little true cocoa flavour. Unfortunately, the top ice cream was icy and crystallized.
The ice cream in the cone, however, was the signature flavour and texture we expect from Chapman's and the centre was an indulgent bonus.
Most impressive was the depth of the chocolate plug in the bottom of the cone - no cheaping out there!

Not overly drying, good foamy foamy handsoap.
Definitely an excellent alternative to my tendency to use dish detergent when I wash my hands at the kitchen sink.
No unpleasant scent like you get with some frangrance free products.
I do find I'm using it up faster than I expected but I haven't determined that's due to the consistency of the soap or just frequent hand washing.

Dial® Clean + Gentle Fragrance Free Body Wash
Scent free? Check! Body wash? Check! So yes, it'll clean ya. It's not drying, and it doesn't irritate any of my allergies. It has a mucilagenous consistency that I don't love. I think back to the days when my allergies were worse though... +
Scent free? Check!
Body wash? Check!
So yes, it'll clean ya. It's not drying, and it doesn't irritate any of my allergies.
It has a mucilagenous consistency that I don't love.
I think back to the days when my allergies were worse though and this would have been an excellent answer to my needs at that time.

Nescafe Gold
Found it to be a little bitter, but would be willing to try it again as I only had a sample cup. Other products in the Gold series interest me, so I'm remaining open minded!

I'm on a dairy - free diet for my nursing infant with sensitivities. I love dairy... really... a lot.
Almond milk, while tolerable, was no substitute for "real" milk and I was sad.
Then my life changed. Oat milk. It's good. Creamy, mildly sweet, familiar... and this brand appeals to my national pride - Made In Canada.
It has so far worked in my cooking as well.
And I drink the bowl of milk after my cereal. That good. Maybe I won't go back.

I miss yogurt.
This is no substitute...
- texture is kinda grainy
- smell is pleasant enough, fruity
- taste is weird, then progresses to weirder, with an aftertaste of coconut
- appears youghurt-like and creamy
- costs for one cup as much as you'd pay for an entire box of real yogurt

I hadn't tried Pillsbury products in many years but purchased the tube of Grands Biscuits on the suggestion of a friend for a children's activity.
Simply, I will not be purchasing them again.
They taste like chemicals, are dry and flavorless otherwise. No surprise - there are hardly any real ingredients listed on the label. I prefer "real" food and for such an activity in the future, I'll just make my own biscuit dough.

Häagen-Dazs® RUM Vanilla Caramel Blondie

I spotted these Spirits flavors when I first became pregnant, so I waited eagerly until I could try this Rum flavour.
It wasn't what I hoped for.
It was a little granular - but that may have been due to mishandling at any point of the inventory chain.
The blondie part was chewy and sweet as you'd hope, but where, I ask, is the rum? It's more a whisper of rum, or even a question of rum. If the container didn't say rum, I'd probably not have tasted it at all.

Just as I began to doubt my resolve for sticking with this non-dairy life due to sad substitutes for good milky food, I came across this chocolatey beacon of awesome.
No more expensive than other premium ice cream products and cheaper than most of the other non-dairy frozen desserts, this is a little tub of decadence.
Super chocolatey, creamy, chewy-full of chocolate fudge... more delicious than some ice cream I've eaten!
Just do it.

Belsoy Chocolate Pudding
I'm new to dairy-free and was hoping for a little comfort food / decadence / indulgence. This isn't it. It's got a weird floppy? Sloppy? Goopy? Texture and just tastes of soy, not chocolate, despite appearing chocolatey-brown. Guess this product... +
I'm new to dairy-free and was hoping for a little comfort food / decadence / indulgence. This isn't it.
It's got a weird floppy? Sloppy? Goopy? Texture and just tastes of soy, not chocolate, despite appearing chocolatey-brown.
Guess this product won't be my solace.
