Hoop hoop!

Advantages: tasty, cheap
Disadvantages: Not too healthy

...I remember liking the Müller Crunch Corner Toffee Hoops yoghurt when I was younger, but it had been a while since I'd had it. Although I'm not a huge fan of chocolate-based yoghurt, having tried the majority of the other flavours on offer recently, I decided to give this one another go. When I peeled back the lid, a strong toffee sweet aroma was the first thing I had met. I'd expected this, but didn't think it would be so powerful. Saying that, I could still smell a faint chocolate smell too. Peering down at the split pot, it certainly did look appetising! In the larger corner, there was a rather pale but not too pasty looking yoghurt. The smaller corner held the little chocolate hoops. They seemed smaller than I remembered but there was plenty of them there, so it's not as if I was being ripped off. The yoghurt looked appealing...

Review of Muller Crunch Corner Toffee Hoops Yoghurt

Hula Hoops Ridges

Advantages: Great Hula Hoop taste, ridges
Disadvantages: None

...Hula Hoops - The crisp with the hole, and now the crisp with the ridges!! Hula Hoops are one of my favourite crisps as they are a little bit different and have a lovely corn snack taste to them. I'm sure these crisps are every childs favourite. Who hasn't put one on each finger and then eaten them off, well I have to admit that I still do that as an adult too. In fact, Hula Hoops is the second biggest UK snack brand in the everyday market. Hula Hoops are a brand of crisps and can be described as flavoured potato rings. They were first produced in 1973 by a gentleman called Miles Willard and are distributed by KP snacks, part of the United Biscuits company. New to the Hula Hoops range are the hoops with the ridge, known as Ridges. They are basically just like a normal Hula Hoop but the outside of the crisps now has ridges...

Review of Hula Hoops Ridges

The Hoops Inn

Advantages: Nice part of the country
Disadvantages: Not worth the money

...Introduction: A very disappointing stay at this hotel, which did not deliver what it, promised on many levels. We travelled to it for a one-night stay as we fancied a quick trip away to a new part of the country. We looked for a hotel that offered good food in a nice location and could provide a good-sized family room for our travel cot, our son being only 10 months old. The Hoops Inn, which we found in the Good Pub Guide, seemed to offer what we parents wanted. When I rang to enquire I specifically asked for a family room and clearly stated that we needed a quiet room. I was told that Room 4 was suitable for us. The Location and Buildings: Hoops is located on the A39 main road between Bideford and Bude. It is about 5 miles from the tourist trap of Clovelly and about 20 miles from the surfing beaches of Bude or North Devon. It...

Review of Hoops Inn, Bideford

Can you bowl your hoops?

Advantages: Yum, fun, cheap!
Disadvantages: None!

...Hula Hoops have been around for years. They have recently been made over (just like many of our favourite snacks) for our newly health conscious country. They now contains no artificial flavours, colours or MSG, are made with 100% sunflower oil, yet still have the same great taste! They do still taste just as great as I remember so they really have done a good job. Hula Hoops tend to come in multipacks now although you can still buy single packs in shops and vending machines. My college sells them at 50p a pack in the vending machines but you can usually pick up a value pack of 7 or 10 for a pound in most supermarkets so it is well worth buying them in bulk! Hula hoops are flavoured potato rings, they come in 25g packs and each pack has around 129 Kcals and 7.1g of fat (I am looking at the salt & vinegar flavour, others may vary...

Review of Hula Hoops Salt and Vinegar

Hoop Dreams

Advantages: You can have fun eating them
Disadvantages: Taste a little dry, limited flavours

...The crisps market is a complete minefield. You may be old skool and only go for the traditional crisp such as a Walkers or Supermarket brand. Or you may go the fun route and be a Monster Munch or Wotsits kind of person. Hula Hoops are crisps that I find pretty much sit on the fence. Made by KP Snacks, the potato rings have been around for longer than I care to remember. When I was younger I used to enjoy placing them on my fingers and biting them off. Occasionally you would bite your finger but it was all in good fun. Alternatively you could just eat them the normal way or even suck them. There are a few flavours of Hula Hoops you can buy. The main ones are Salt & Vinegar, Salted and Barbecue flavours. These are the ones you'll find in most of the multipacks. Ever so often Hula Hoops will bring out limited editions such as Smokey...

Review of Hula Hoops Original Crisps

Multigrain Hula Hoops

Advantages: Healthier than regular Hula Hoops
Disadvantages: Don't taste as nice as regular Hula Hoops

...Like many people I've been munching on Hula Hoops since I was at Primary School. The distinctive name and bright red packets of the original ready salted have been an instantly recognisable fixture in British stores for many years. Hula Hoops are a reliable and tasty crisp but, now that many of us take more notice of fat and salt content, it seems like an appropriate time to for them to put out an alternative range with less of the bad stuff. Less potato and fat, more rice, maize and wheat. Same great taste but better for you as the blurb probably goes. They may indeed be better for you but I'm not so sure about the taste. The packs are 2g lighter and seem less substantial. The pack (Cheese and Onion) came in a very unappealing light brown shade. The front boasts that the new Hula Hoops contain no MSG, 55% less fat and are a source...

Review of Hula Hoops Original Crisps

Original hula hoops

Advantages: Tasty filling snack
Disadvantages: calories

...I have decided to write a review on Hula hoops as they have entered my house after tears of absence! My children love these so I have inevitably started to eat them again. The packaging is pretty much as it used to be with the bright red and yellow frontage. Obviously going for the healthy market as a third of the package is stating no artificial flavours colours or MSG. As a mum I obviously take this into consideration so it is good that they clearly label it - it saves time not having to look on the back of every packet in the supermarket. A nice addition to the back since I used to buy them is ways to amuse yourself with hula hoops such as using your crisp bag as a goal and flicking your crisps in to see how many you land! Maybe aiming more at the kids here but as I am a big kid at heart I usually have a go! As for taste I have...

Review of Hula Hoops Original Crisps

Hula Hoops.....hmm!

Advantages: taste great, nice texture
Disadvantages: small packet

...Of all the crisps available to buy, hula hoops are one of my favourite brands. I know its hard and probably a bit sad to get excited about a crisp, but I think hula hoops are different to all other types of crisp. Packaging: Not too snazzy - just a simple design. The main colour is blue which tells you the flavour is salt & vinegar and there is a large hula hoop on the front which dominates the packet, onto which 'hula hoop' is written. Taste: Surely the most important thing about a crisp, after all the whole point is too eat them. I must admit the salt and vinegar flavour is very strong and for those of you who do not like strong flavours you probably won't like it. Texture: This is where hula hoops are different to most crisps. The fact that hula hoops are ring shaped makes them very crunchy which I like and it means...

Shooting Hoops

Advantages: cheap, easy to cook, great for kids
Disadvantages: cheaper in other brands, not enough in a can for adults

...As a child, all of us ma have encountered spaghetti hoops, whether we enjoyed it or not, and whether it was for dinner at home or as lunch at school. If you are one of the few who have not tried this out, I will describe this product to the best of my ability. The spaghetti hoops are contained in a sturdy tin can, which can be easily open with a normal can opener. The can has a silver colour and is a few millimetres thick so it won’t be broken when dropped on the floor. The tin is about 3 inch wide and 5 inches in length. A 205g tin from Tesco costs 39p. they are also available in other supermarkets. Because Heinz is a well respected brand name, it will be very easy to find. Although supermarkets self brands can be even more cheaper than Heinz, especially LIDL which will sell products at very competitive prices. Within...

Review of Heinz Spaghetti Hoops in Tomato Sauce

Hoops Of Joy

Advantages: tastes great, cheap
Disadvantages: other flavours out there which are my favourite

...When you don’t want to be worrying about what flavour crisps you want, choose original flavour crisps! Original flavoured crisps may have a big salt content, but all other flavours do too such as salt and vinegar (although that is one of my favourites) Hula hoops, the famous hoop of potato which everyone should have at least tried once in their life. Hula hoops come in several other flavours such as cheese and onion (the best flavour for hula hoops), salt and vinegar (last over sour I hula hoops) etc. Normally when Hula hoops are bought in multipacks, the original flavour Hula hoops are always left behind and the other flavour are eaten! Although my brother does enjoy throwing original flavour Hula hoops into soups, acts a bit like croutons and gives your soup a nice crunch. The Hula hoops are a few millimetres thick...
