Cherry Tunes To The Rescue!

Advantages: Soothes A Sore Throat
Disadvantages: Not Very Effective

...Well the Cold that I've started suffering from seems to be getting a little bit better so I decided to visit my local Spar this afternoon and couldn't resist stocking up on some of my old childhood favourites. By the time I left the shop my wallet was some five pounds lighter and clutching within my grasp, amongst a couple of grocery items, I had a picked up a packet of Tunes, a packet of Lockets and a packet of Fisherman's Friends throat lozenges. The latter I have already reviewed back in August in my review "A Friend In Need is A Friend Indeed!" so it is the Tunes that I have decided to review today, although it is a fair assumption that the Lockets may well feature in a forthcoming review very soon. The Product Tunes are Cherry flavoured throat lozenges which can usually be found amongst the other sweets on the shelves but...

Review of Tunes

Tunes - not for colds!

Advantages: Cheap, nice flavour
Disadvantages: not really medicated, did not help my sore throat!

...Well, as I said on my review of Lockets throat sweets, I woke up this morning with a wicked sore throat and blocked nose so first port of call was to get some throat sweets. I always go for Lockets but they did not have any at the station this morning so I had to buy a packet of Tunes. They were about thesame price as Lockets, 64p but they came in a cute little carboard packet, almost like a cigarette packet. I went for the strawberry menthol flavour although there is also blackcurrent to choose from. There are about 10 sweets in a packet. Now I understand why I always buy lockets over any other type of throat sweet. These Tunes did not seem to be medicated at all. They are hard, boiled type sweets with no soothing centre or anything. They say on the packet that they are menthol flavour sweets with real fruit juice and sweeteners. As...

iTunes 7.5

Advantages: Convenient application, Reliable and Safe
Disadvantages: Twenty five Pounds for around twenty five to thirty eight song's downloaded

...iTunes 7 is the software designed by Apple, and is used to Store, Play, and synchronise the song's purchased via the itunes database of downloadable songs. The way to Download songs from the iTunes store is to search the artist, name of the track. This in turn will load a plethora of songs that match your criteria. Most if not all songs listed on iTunes have a very useful feature that enables the user to try before they buy the song. So you would get a ten to thirty second sample of the track.

The types of songs iTune's store contains. They contain every genre, nearly all song's are available. Each track costs between seventy and ninety nine pence. A twenty...

Review of Tune Up Utilities 2006

Keep youself in tune!

Advantages: Handy box, good for lubricating the throat
Disadvantages: Not cheap considering the amount of sweets

...I bought some Cherry Tunes about a month or two ago and have just discovered them on top of the microwave and ergh they've all got white speckles on now! But back to the topic in hand... Cherry Tunes are nice tasting and definitely work for lubricating sore throats. I know this because I had only eating half the box before my throat was clear. I definitely recommend this for anyone with a tingly throat who seeks a quick, non-prescription remedy. *Packaging* ----------------- -The new handy box is a great improvement from the packet which meant you had to unwravel every sweet one by one, getting half of them stuck to the wrapper. The box is about 2 inches in height and 1.5 inches in width and has a nifty lid at the top which can be closed again without having to stick your fingers half way down the box to get the lid out...

Power of a Woman

Advantages: Great tracks, harmonies
Disadvantages: None

...Eternal - Power of a Woman One of my favourite girl bands from old were Eternal (this is probably showing my age a bit but oh well). They were popular before The Spice Girls, Girls Aloud etc and I think one of the reasons why they were successful was because they could actually sing and had some lovely harmonies, with beautiful voices that all worked well together. They were also all very pretty as well so I'm sure this added to their success. Eternal were formed in 1992 and eventually ceased as a band around the year 2000. The group consisted of four members, Easther and Vernie Bennett who were sisters, Kelle Bryan and Louise Nurding. Louise Nurding is now probably the most famous of the quartet as she was fairly successful as a solo artist and went on to marry the footballer Jaime Rednapp. She still does some television work as...

Review of Power Of A Woman - Eternal

iTunes

Advantages: Vast array of multimedia available
Disadvantages: Unfair pricing system, DRM encrypted songs

...iTunes - the most advanced music store available. Or is it? Well, with around 24 million songs available worldwide this clearly puts it head and shoulders above any other competitor. And with them also selling games (iPod), TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts and Video Podcasts - this makes Apple the owner of the most advanced music store. And to this date it is probably the most used music store in the world with over 3 billion songs sold worldwide in the space of 4 years. Surely then, everything should run smoothly and it's customers left happy? Well, the answer is no, it's not perfect unfortunately and has it's drawbacks. Functionality being one of them. Timed sign in sessions and even timed access sessions offer the joyous feeling of annoyance when your timed session runs out, meaning you have to try again. Not helpful. Data Rights...

USB Power-ed up Adapter

Advantages: Compact and Portability
Disadvantages: Price

...This USB Power Adapter is a must accessory to have if you have any kinds of iPods. As you would know, when you buy an iPod, you will only receive the iPod itself and the link cable. This means the only way you can charge the iPod is through the computer. However, this is disadvantage for many reasons since you would need to make sure the computer is on when charging. Because its USB charged, it takes quite a long time to charge it to full. This USB Power Adapter deals with all of the charging problems and many others. The size of the power adapter is very compact, with its dimension of 4cm by 4cm (estimate and could be different when bought from different country). It is also not so heavy for portable use. Also, you can change the adapter itself to European, Asian or wherever with great convenience. All you have to do is slide it...
