Cardboard Chips

Advantages: Very quick, fills a hole, alright with ketchup
Disadvantages: You've got to wait over 2 minutes for a fairly tasteless snack

...~~*~~*~~ Fries To Go ~~*~~*~~ When I?m hungover, it?s not a pretty sight. The universal cure for the aches and pains suffered after a night on the tiles is either salt and vinegar chipsticks and coke or a McDonalds. We had none of the former in the cupboards and apparently a 12 mile round trip is too far to go for a miracle cure when I?m obviously in pain and quite possibly dying (HimIndoors doesn?t get hangovers and consequently doesn?t understand my trauma). Instead he suggested I have a packet of Fries to Go - in no way was this a kind gesture of love and understanding ? he?s blatantly a lazy git. ~~ What are they? ~~ They?re frozen bits of cardboard or ?chips? that are conveniently packaged in a red carton (looks like the Maccy D?s chip container) with yellow and blue writing on it. Separating each chip is cardboard...

Review of McCain Original Fries to Go

Branflakes or cardboard box breakfast.

Advantages: healthy
Disadvantages: cardboard

...sometimes add some fresh fruit to them too *Recipe For many years now I have made an apple crunch pudding from these and other bran flakes or cornflakes using this recipe 2 large cooking apples cut thinly or pre stewed with mixed spice or cinnamon a little brown sugar to taste, put this mix in the bottom of a dish. Then mix up about 75g flour, 150b crushed bran flakes 40g brown sugar blend with a heaped tablespoon of margarine till it looks like crispy breadcrumbs. Pour this mix onto the apples and bake in an over at about 120c for half an hour. Serve it hot, its good with plain or vanilla yoghurt. *Would I recommend these bran flakes ? well yes as much as any other, but my old dad said you may as well eat the cardboard box they come in....

Cardboard Cheese

Advantages: I guess if your slimming and your taste buds are dead
Disadvantages: Horrible texture,taste

...more aware. These would normally retail at around 50p which is in my humble opinion about 60p too much. The texture of the outer surface of the crisp/biscuit was similar to that of wetted and dried cardboard, being lumpy and uneven. There was also a rough feeling to the surface which did nothing but help stimulate my taste buds which they could easily have done without. The physical resemblence to cardboard, became manifest as I took my first bite. I could have sworn I'd swallowed the box they arrived in by mistake. Then out of the blue I was hit by the cheese and onion flavour, which to be fair was quite nice. It was however that awful Ryvita crisp taste that was overpowering and the overall experience was that off find a bag and spit it out. So I was convinced they would not sell, but stone me they have become a best seller so either...

Review of Ryvita Minis

A cardboard fish?

Advantages: Free text messages
Disadvantages: Doesn't always work, sometimes the service is down

...If you are short of credit on your phone and want to save yourself some money, you can send a free SMS from the cardboard fish! It is quite handy, as I use it to send little football related updates to my mate while he's at work so I don't have to spend any money on them. There is quite a few adverts on the site, but considering you are getting a free service you really can't complain about a few adverts and the one pop-up which comes up at the end. When you type out your message, you type in the number you wish to send it to, but with 44 at the start instead of a 0. You can only send a message which has 137 characters, so keep your message very short. Once this is done, you'll get a wee message saying "NOTE: Abuse is strictly forbidden. This service is NOT anonymous. We store all records for at least two years and co...

WONDERFUL CARDBOARD

Advantages: good long-term playability, wide range for different ages, well made and long lasting
Disadvantages: uniform in graphic design, all very educational

...Orchard Toys produce a range of firmly educational games, puzzles and toys generally based on a ‘glossy cardboard card’ principle. Thus, nothing particularly exciting, but a wide selection to choose from and decent quality make this company a good choice for sticking fillers and a mainstay for supply of every-day games. My daughter is 4 years old, I have been familiar with Orchard Toys for couple of years now, and their particular products are suitable for children from about 2 to as high as 10; but the typical target age range is roughly equivalent to Infant School (4-7 years old). ***Range*** GAMES Despite the fact that they are terribly, terribly educational; I like their games. Most of them have a strong (and strongly advertised to the target market of parents and carers) educational element and probably...

Review of Orchard Toys

Cardboard Anyone ???

Advantages: well I'm sure there must be some
Disadvantages: too numerous to mention

...games, haven't I?) against one another. In no way did they resemble, or sound like, anything remotely edible. They do have little raised bumps in each circle which I would like to think are grains of rice but after nibbling away at the bump doing my best rabbit impersonation, they are actually hollow so it seems that rice has been sand blasted out whilst transforming these "things" into cardboard discs. I would like to be able to describe the taste to you, but words fail me. I've never ever eaten scorched cardboard, but I'm sure if I had these would be akin to that. Diabolical, awful tasteless discs of uselessness as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't even distinguish the taste of salt that they are supposedly lightly flavoured with. That packaging states only 3% fat - so does this mean per pack or each one? Trying to find some...

Review of Ryvita Tondos

Cardboard Central

Advantages: The special effects are pretty
Disadvantages: Lots of things

...an understatement. I was disgusted with it. This is a film that tries so hard to appear to be a true homage to its inspirational material and leaves you feeling that anything could have been better than that. The characters are all cardboard stereotypes from a number of different genre?s. The Time Traveller: Archetypal absent minded Professor at the beginning developing into ?The Driven Man? archetype. The Beloved: You know the instant you see her she is dead meat. It must be the fact she is the only one at the beginning of the film with clothes that have any bright colour to them and she chose Red! It must have been to hide the blood. Time Traveller?s Friend: Think Doctor Watson ie staid, reliable with no imagination at all whatsoever. The Housekeeper: She?s Scottish what more do you need to know? Eloi Girl: Captain Kirk?s fluff...

Review of The Time Machine (DVD)

A fish made of cardboard?

Advantages: free text messages
Disadvantages: not always reliable

...Right so my fishy theme continues but this isnt an aquarium based product nor is it even vaguely related to the sea, it is in fact a free web based text messaging service. So as Ive mentioned in other reviews I have recently moved and my contract mobile doesn't get a signal so I'm having to use a pay and go number, which as happens to many people ran out of credit about the same time as my bank account ran out of cash. Lucky really that the accomodation I'm in has access to wireless internet which means I can do a nice search for 'free sms'. This was the first site that came up. cbfsms.com, or cardboard fish sms. The site is presented with slightly garish colours (orange and blue -blue sea and orange for a goldfish maybe?). The box in which you type your message is the white block halfway down the page, the narrow white box is...

Review of cbfsms.com

Sweet smelling cardboard.

Advantages: A strong lasting smell.
Disadvantages: Some versions are horrible.

...Does a small piece of cardboard cut into the shape of a tree and covered with scented felt really constitute magic? .......... I think not! I chose to review these because not only are they my choice of car air freshener but I also have a story to tell about them which I will get to later, firstly on to the trees. Ok I am sure most of you if not all of you have heard of magic trees and know that they are not only designed for cars but can also be used around the home or in caravans or basically any where that is likely to get a bit niffy. I am a big fan of these because they work; it is as simple as that. However be very careful which scent you choose, some are very nice and some are absolutely horrible. Let?s start with the ones to avoid, wild cherry, berries and spice, rosemusk which smells like a grannies perfume mixed...

Review of Magic Tree Tree Car Air Freshener

flavoured cardboard

Advantages: low cal
Disadvantages: some are like eating cardboard

...Having eaten nothing but crap and convenience foods recently, I'm starting to notice I've been putting on weight recently, and decided that I'd better take steps to not put any more on, though the thought of buying a new wardrobe is always tempting... Finding these in the supermarket, I decided to try these, slightly worried they would be cardboard in a bag. The flavours I bought were sour cream & chive, cheese and caramel. The sour cream and chive was the small crisp type packet, and the cheese and caramel were the longer frisbee style pack. I will discuss each individually. Cheese flavour The cheese flavour comes in a packet with Quakers snack a jacks on them in purple, and the pack itself is pale and deep yellow, to suggest the cheese that is contained within the packet These smell really cheesy, and the smell can be...
