So I received this for free to try and I am happy I did.
I drink my coffee black so that does affect the flavour profile you get off of flavoured coffees. This McCafe Caramel Premium Medium roast coffee had a pleasant burnt sugar profile to it. I know some people will cringe at that but OMG it was so tasty. Probably it would become more smooth and velvety on the palate if you are someone who doses your coffee with cream or even sugar but I am a purist.
Seriously go out and buy this and add it to your morning. You will not be sorry.
Now if only the restaurant served this

I really enjoy ginger ale but have found recently most brands taste just like sugar and not anything remotely like what I would call ginger ale. Finally this has come along and answered my dreams. Canada Dry Premium Ginger Ale reminds me of the ginger ale of my childhood right down to the ginger taste and the glass bottle. Thanks to the cane sugar it is not too sweet on the palate and the ginger really shines through. It is also not too heavily carbonated like some which rely upon the bubbles to give it the zing. The only downside is I was scrambling to find a bottle opener as I am more of a wine drinker than beer and it is not a screw lid. Thankfully I did find one and made my way into this delightful bottle. I only wish I had had some rye in the liquor cabinet. -

I was really excited to try this working in healthcare and being fastidious about keeping clean. I love the juniper scent. It is so soft and gentle on the nose which is very important being a migraine sufferer. However, the scent is about the only thing i enjoyed about this product.
I question how effective the product truly is. Whenever I use it it honestly feels as if it is just sliding off my hands instead of actually cleansing them. It does not actually feel as if it is making any real contact with the skin and any dirt sadly. I wish I had access to some of those experiments they run to show bacteria on hands before and after washing to determine just how effective this product is as it feels as if it is doing nothing on my hands and I am rewashing them with another soap afterward.
So until I could see evidence of the effectiveness of this product it is not something I would recommend to people. I seriously have my doubts.

I was hesitant at first to purchase this because many Dove products lately have been very heavily scented. I was happy this one was not too strong. It also lathered nicely with our hard water in the region here of eastern Ontario even just on a face cloth as opposed to shower poof. And unlike some body washes it does not seem to leave a horrible sticky sensation even after multiple rinses -
Philadelphia Cheesecake Creme

Seeing ads out the wazoo for these and I can see why they have to advertise as once you try them chances are nope not again! So I was craving sweet and finally I found a store put them on sale again for $1.99 for the two portions so I bought a pack of chocolate and a pack of cherry. First let me say even at $1.99 I think it is way too much for what you end up getting so the stores selling these for nearly $4 are NUTS!!!! I will stick with my Nordica smooth cream cheese thank you very much! The cherry tasted "chemically" and phony. At least with the chocolate I could imagine it was chocolate drizzled over some cheesecake like substance. With the two remaining portions I have I may try the freezing trick to see if that makes them more palatable otherwise money wasted!! Reading here I just may be the only one who enjoyed the saltiness from them as it helped cut down on the sickingly sweet flavour they seem to have. But hoenstly dont waste your money, get the real thing! -

Finally my hunt is over. This body wash is neither fruity nor floral and does not leave you smelling like a man! Just a soft cedar scent is left on my skin afterward and unlike many bodywashes I do not feel as if I am going to crawl out of my skin from itchiness post use either! YAY! This wash is a definite win. And it even lathered nicely with our super hard water. So take care if you have softened water -

Ive used this for the typical aches and strains one might think of- back, pulled muscle etc but have lately found a new use. Im a chronic migraine sufferer and am always trying to find creative ways to get thru a work day before i can go home to take my prescription meds and crash in a dark room. I have been rubbing the Voltaren along the trigeminal nerve, in the temples and at the base of the neck and occasionally i can get a bit extra relief to buy me a couple hours. Yay! -

glad I got it free. Not a fan at all. Hoping for volume not concrete hair. This just firmed up my reason to keep my hair au natural and not use products as such in my hair. Cannot pass fingers comb or anything through it was so stiff. If the goal of this product was body and volume for me it was a giant fail

Did not notice volume at all only extreme stiffness. Could not pass a comb or fingers through the hair at all. I guess that is a bonus if it is super windy and you want maximum stay power but volume nope

So i went all out with the box from Chickadvisor (#gotitfree) and gave this one a try too. Not impressed to be honest. Thankfully I have short hair so I was only trying to squirt it onto that. I feel sorry people aiming for long hair because my bottle was seeming to shoot everywhere but out what should have been the holes. First squirt left a sticky mess on the counter so i had to step back into the shower stall for the read, aim(ish) and fire! And then had to clean the shower. I felt I needed take another shower after!
Then there is the residual scent that does not seem to dissipate. Do not use if you work in a scent free environment such as a hospital. Also if you are going out into nature Id advise against it too as the deer and horse flies LOVE it. After using this product the next day i went for a hike and desite having fly repellant on I had a swarm of deer and or horse flies buzzing at and in my hair!
