On the streets of Philadelphia

Advantages: Excellent performances, story and sound track
Disadvantages: None

...making to have challenged so many people to confront their own prejudices and ignorance. Dealing with the highly provocative subject of homosexuality and AIDS, Philadelphia does an excellent job of disbanding many of the myths surrounding both of the subjects. Not only does Philadelphia tell a powerful story of injustice, it is also a beautifully shot film, which has many scenes which will tug at your heart strings. It also allowed Tom Hanks to demonstrate that he was more than capable of performing serious roles as he had previously been better known for his comedy roles. There were some critics who suggested that Hanks was not convincing as a homosexual, what did they expect a bloke wearing lipstick, lycra and high heals. Part of the beauty of the film was that it attempted to destroy society's stereotypes of how homosexuals looked and acted...

Review of Philadelphia (DVD)

kraft philadelphia xtra light

Advantages: Low Fat
Disadvantages: Negligible fiber content.

...is best used within five day's of opening the packaging. The product has a expiry date usually six month's to one year. The product is available in supermarkets and prices range from Tesco for a four pack of thirty five gram's, cheese and costs one Pound and thirty four pence. There is also a Original philadelphia version along with a Soft cheese, and garlic product available on Tesco supermarket shelves. I am aware that other supermarkets will stock these products and therefore Asda, Morrissons, Sainsbury's and lets not forget iceland will sell this product. The product is a fresh cheesy savoury taste very plain and ordinary. Though this is a product that has never left an unpleasant after taste that so many other cheese products I have tried before. The spread is very user friendly as it really does spread to bread, crackers very...

Review of Kraft Philadelphia Extra Light

Kraft Philadelphia Extra Light

Advantages: Just as good as the original and much healthier
Disadvantages: Expensive compared to competitors

...made a fantastic product here. Philadelphia Extra Light is exactly half the amount of calories that Philadelphia Original contains, so especially in large amounts this makes a huge difference. It is also not replaced with sugar like some low fat products are. In these times so many people are weight and look concious, releasing an extra light version could never go against Kraft, it would always be a big seller. It has been proved that is an acceptable product to eat for dieters and people wanting to loose weight as it has been featured on may diet websites approving it, so it can't be bad can it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ History of Philadelphia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An American dairyman William Lawrence first produced cream cheese in 1872, and distributed the brand in foil wrappers from 1880 under the name of the Empire Company, which...

Review of Kraft Philadelphia Extra Light

Philadelphia Fan!!

Advantages: Taste great, ok for calories, great snack food
Disadvantages: Sometimes the 'dippers' can be too large to dip

...I only came about this product last week when shopping at Tesco's. I only noticed them because they were in special offer and since trying them, they have become one of my favourite snacks. Philadelphia Splendips are very similar to Dairylea dunkers but they also have a sweet variety as well as savoury. Philadelphia Splendips There are four varieties of Philadelphia Splendips. These are Thai Sweet Chilli, Chives, Cheesecake and Nachos. Philadelphia Splendips come in a container similar to Dairylea Dunkers except that they have three compartment rather than two. Half of the container if taken up with the 'dipper' section and the other half is split into two sections, containing cheese and then whatever flavour you have picked. The container has a foil lid which peels off and is easy to remove. The containers themselves are...

Review of Kraft Philadelphia Splendips

My baguette is filled with Philadelphia cheese

Advantages: tastes fabulous, healthy
Disadvantages: none

...Kraft Philadelphia Light Garlic and Herbs is a medium fat soft cheese made in Germany. I like to taste cheese of different nations because cheese can taste very different. Price and Package ------------------------- This cheese comes in a white oval plastic tub which contains 300 g of soft cheese. The lid is silver coloured plastic. The tub can be opened and re-closed easily and keeps the cheese fresh. Naturally it has to be refrigerated. Its price is 1.82 pounds in Sainsbury?s which is about average I think. Now (24 November 2009) it is on offer buy 1 and add 1 free. Taste and texture ---------------------- It is a white thick cheese that can be spread easily. There are small pieces of green herbs in it. The garlic cannot be observed as it has very mild taste but the herbs give the cheese a very nice taste. There is a secret...

Want a low fat lunch? Philadelphia's Light with Bazil

Advantages: Great packaging, good flavour, impressive taste!
Disadvantages: None at all!!!!

...If you have read any of my previous reviews then you will have seen that I sometimes struggle with what to have for my lunch everyday. I tend to get bored quite quickly with food and whilst I have fads of items where I cannot get enough of them, not long after I am soon fed up. I have recently been on a bit of a soup fad but know that before long I will tire of it. Whilst going to heat my soup up in the works kitchen I saw a colleague toasting herself a bagel and then spreading something on it?. This something was Philadelphia Light with added bazil! So a new idea for my lunch and off I went to my local Supermarket, Tesco to pick myself a tub up. I have never had Kraft?s Philadelphia before but have often treated myself to some soft cheeses, especially at Christmas time. A couple of reasons drew me to the product, the fact that it...

Review of Kraft Philadelphia Light with Basil

Philadelphia, New-York's under-rated sibbling.

Advantages: So much to do in this great city
Disadvantages: Only Ba fly direct from heathrow.

...the places of interest or even the old trolley car or a horse and carriage. As you wander around the city you may recognise quite a bit of it; I was certainly surprised at how many movies are made there, like Philadelphia with Tom Hanks, Witness with Harrison Ford, all the Rocky movies and more recently National Treasure with Nicholas cage. Coming away from Centre City and the Old arts district the water front at Penns Landing is well worth a visit. It is made up of the waterfront (ok obviously) of the Delaware river, a picturesque and realxing walk with a number of ships that are restaurants. And the focal point of Penns Landing is South Street, which I can only describe as Philadelphia's equivelant to Camden Lock; enjoying the same mixture of funky people, quirky stores, fashion, bars, clubs and great places to eat. Look out for 'The...

Review of Philadelphia

Philadelphia Extra light

Advantages: Gorgeous creamy tast, low in fat, great price, versatile
Disadvantages: None

...When I clicked on product of the week I was really pleased to see that finally there is a product that I can write about enthusiastically and with a bit of knowledge. It has even prompted me to carry out a little research on the history of the product, so I do hope you enjoy my review. In 1872 the first cream cheese is made by William Lawrence an American Dairyman in New York and in 1880 the name Philadelphia is chosen as the brand name. This is because the City Philadelphia is considered to be the home of top quality food. At this time it was sold for the first time ever in foil wrappers. In 1903 The Phenix Cheese Company of New York bought the Philadelphia trademark. Then in 1928 Phoenix merged with the Kraft Cheese Company and in 1960 Philadelphia was launched in the UK. In 1963 the first UK TV advert for Philadelphia is...

Review of Kraft Philadelphia Cheese, Garlic & Herbs

Too many different stories...

Advantages: Easy to read, some interesting tales
Disadvantages: It's not really an autobiography, and can be a bit confusing

...Having finished reading Jordan's un-review-worthy autobiography (yes I know - but it was only 25p) I searched my desk drawer for the next book to read and thought I'd continue with another autobiography. I bought "Too Many Mothers" by Roberta Taylor from the charity booklist at work for 25p, not bad at all for a pretty much brand new hardback book (although I have to say I don't like hardback books on the train). Roberta Taylor Roberta Taylor is an actress, probably best known for her 3-year role as Irene Raymond in EastEnders, and more recently as Inspector Gina Gold in The Bill. She is described on the dustsheet of the book as "one of Britain's most respected actresses". I don't think I'd go that far, but I've always enjoyed watching her. Born in 1948 in London, a bit more can be found out about Roberta at...
