Hey Mango!

Advantages: Functionality, looks, performance
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive

...a home/mobile/work number, then 10 is just useless. I was also willing to pay a bit more because we have bought cheap cordless phones at work and ended up replacing them because their range was poor and moving more than a few feet away from the phone lost the connection. I was quite interested in a Panasonic when the BT Mango caught my eye and I thought 'wow, cool phone'. Unusual, bright colours of cream and orange and a distinctive shape with a slider mechanism which opens to reveal the number pad. I was sold by its looks alone and when I checked the functions, the deal was done. Unfortunately, it was even more expensive at £109.99 but too late, I'd made up my mind. Also unfortunately, I should have slept on it, instead of acting on impulse because when I looked at it again the next day, I wondered what I'd found so attractive about it...

Mango Bookclub

Advantages: books to your door! good joining offers
Disadvantages: not massive range of choice

...I joined mango for one reason - to get the free books you get when you join, i picked some great books (and the most expensive ones) and sold them on ebay, i think the joining offer was 5 books for a pound or something, plus p & p which took it up to about four pounds. With mango you get a catalogue every month with their best picks, what you get varies every month and the range isnt massive, they have a wide range of genres but not alot of books in each, unless what youre mainly after is contemporary fiction, of which they have lots. You get your monthly catalogue and statement and you pick what you want and can order it by phone, online or via mail, you dont pay until the statement that comes after your books have been recieved. The books are delievered by courier and once you get your statement payment is required within...

Mango tastes good to me so far

Advantages: Good special offers
Disadvantages: Postage and packing expensive on cheaper books

...There have recently been one or two reviews slating Mango Book Club, so it seems only fair that I say that my experience of them has been without problems so far. Not the best of starts, as my introductory book was left in my dustbin - it was a relatively new one and had been emptied that morning, but even so I didn't find that acceptable. However, that was the fault of the delivery company rather than Mango. I didn't actually want that particular book, so I listed it on Amazon Marketplace and sold it within twenty-four hours at a very decent price, considering Mango only charged me 99p for it. Since then I have ordered a cookery book, a book on memory loss which I hope to read over the Christmas period (having reached the age when short-term memory can cause frequent problems), and Roald Dahl's 'Songs and Verse' - a good variety...

Review of Mango

Hey Mango!

Advantages: smells nice, leaves skin soft
Disadvantages: Made no difference to the water, didnt feel very luxurious

...I had never tried a Lush bath melt, so I decided to order one with my last order from the website. I went for 'You've been mangoed' as I love fruity and citrus fragrances, and having read the list of ingredients, decided that it would be something I would like. Bath Melts are blocks of skin softening oils and butters which (as I'm sure you can guess from their name), melt into the water for a luxurious bath. This particular one is orange in colour with the word mango imprinted onto the top, although I think the colour may vary from batch to batch as when I was last in store, the ones they had in were more a pale peach colour, than the vibrantly coloured melt I was sent. At about 2.5 inches long x 1 inch wide, and weighing just 30g it is a lot smaller than most other lush products - such as bubble bars and ballistics - so I was not...

Bounty: Mango Mango Fandango

Advantages: Tastes Lovely!
Disadvantages: Appear rare to come by. Not for people on diets I assume!

...I am shocked to see no reviews on this chocolate bar!? Does anyone know that this type even exists? 'Bounty' adverts usual concern a man, or a women, and they closes their eyes, and slowly bites in to the Bounty.....Palm trees appear, the waves crash. The sun shines down on them... But does all this really happen when you bite a Bounty? Join me on my journey, as we review a 'Bounty -'Mango edition''. Bountys come in a wrapper, about 16 - 18cm long. They are produced by 'Masterfoods' a company based in Holland. (They produce the likes of Mars Bar and Malteasers). You will have to (Coconut) shell out around 34p to about 37p for these chocolate bars. Now, what does this Mango flavoured Bounty look like? Well, as you enter a shop or any place that sells chocolate bars look for this: A light blue wrapper, with the white...

Review of Bounty with Mango

• Mmmm...mango

Advantages: Smells delicious
Disadvantages: Not a travel-friendly bottle

...you see on the box in the picture at the top of the screen. Looking at the wavy pattern can kinda screw with your mind, but what better packing to make you wanna get into it and dispose of it as quickly as possible to get to the beauty inside. <<Mango>> Mango is actually a multinational company based in Spain, 'dedicated to the design, manufacture and marketing of clothing garments and accessories for women'. There are more than 700 Mango stores in 73 countries, spanning five continents. I won't bore you with anymore information about the company than that, though there is plenty of it to be found on the website. According to the website, Adorably is only Mango's second fragrance, launched in April 2005, the first being 'MNG Cut for Woman'. <<Adorably>> As far as I can tell from the website, the fragrance is available only in Eau...

Mango chutney with your meal, sir?

Advantages: Taste, ease of use
Disadvantages: No mango bits

...My wife needed mango chutney for a recipe last week, and asked me to get some. In our local Tesco's, of the three brands available, this turned out to be the cheapest on the shelf. Per 100g, I think it worked out a bit more expensive than the others, and it's the 375g squeezy bottle I picked up, as opposed to the more familiar format of a jar - this wasn't available. To start with, the squeezy bottle makes it easier to apply, especially if you're having it as an accompaniment to your meal, or for squeezing onto salads or sandwiches, as per the recommendation on the bottle. Mango chutney is used by many to add a bit of sweetness to an Indian meal without it detracting from the taste and effect the meal itself has. I have always had (wherever possible) a generous portion of it as an extra taste, and I found the Sharwood's version to...

Yummy strawberry and Mango in my tea

Advantages: tastes good, smells fruity
Disadvantages: none

...This is my first tea review although I have a great collection of fruit tea at home. I don?t really like black and green tea. I buy only fruit tea. I am aware of the advantages of green tea but I can?t drink it. I am a coffee addict and I drink tea only occasionally when the weather is awful outside and I need a hot cup to hold in my hands for a couple of minutes. Price and package ----------------------- Twinings Strawberry & Mango tea comes in a paper box which contains 20 bags of lovely tea. The teabags are wrapped individually in paper sachets. The box on the top of it is dark pink and gradually it becomes almost white on the bottom. There is a golden stripe on the box and in it you find the Twinings logo written by black letters. Below this label you can see the fresh & fruity brand label. Below this is the Strawberry & Mango...

Healthy Alternative (Rubicon Sparkling Mango)

Advantages: Healthy, Tastes Good
Disadvantages: Tastes Healthy

...When I went to the corner shop yesterday, I was looking for something different to drink. I spotted this drink called Rubicon Sparkling Mango. This came across as very different as I have not tasted a fizzy mango flavoured drink before. I usually go for fizzy orange flavoured drinks. The drink was in a 500ml bottle and the label was blue and orange. This meant it was very eyecatching. Even more eyecatching was the orange band along the top of the label that said ?thirst quenching 89p?. The front of the label also tells you that this drink contains real fruit juice. On the back of the label it tells you that the drink contains real mango juice, no artificial sweeteners and that it is made with spring water. The ingredients are: Carbonated Spring Water, Sugar, Mango Puree (8%), Malic Acid, Preservatives (E452i, E202), Anti...

Review of Rubicon Sparkling Mango

Mango - Book Club.

Advantages: Cheap Introduction Books, Saves going to shops.
Disadvantages: Too many books sent!

...You see the leaflets that fall out of magazines advertising to join their bookclub with introductory offers for books and a free gift. Well I was lured by one of these offers from Mango book club as I wanted to increase my reading and was tempted by the lower pricers than in Blackwells or Waterstones. So my introductory started like this - Get a fab new handbag and pick 5 books for 99p. Easy done choices were made and ordered sharpish - the only condition was to buy 5 more books over the following year. I aslo thought that this was a reasonable request and thought that I would probably do this within 3 months! Books were delivered reasonably quickly and I thought were fab value for the price and quality as some were quite big and hardback. Handbag was bit naff as to be expected but they also camw with lots of other junkmail which...
