Sticks of pleasure!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I first spotted Mikado chocolate biscuits a few months ago. I had already read a few reviews about them, mostly negative, but decided to try them for myself. Mikado biscuits are made by Kraft foods and were launched in February 2009.They are sold as a snack food for customers on the go. You may have seen the amusing advert where a Japanese man puts the Mikado's on a top shelf. A female worker comes along and uses the photocopier to reach them. She manages to photocopy her backside in the process! The biscuits come in a cardboard box with flip open lid. Inside is a foil inner to help keep the biscuits fresh. The biscuits are named after the game of Mikado or pick up sticks and the biscuits look exactly like the sticks from the game. Each stick is very thin and coated with a thin layer of milk chocolate. The last few centimeters are...

Dive deep and retrieve these seal sticks

Advantages: Good aid to water confidence
Disadvantages: none

...We have some Zoggs seal sticks at work. They are amongst our swimming tools, aids, toys. These swimming aids are suitable for children aged 3+. These seal sticks are a dive stick aimed at encouraging children to gain water confidence. These sticks are 19x3x4 cm, weighs 0.272 kg. These sticks usually come in a carry bag set of 4 different coloured seal sticks blue, green, red and yellow .Each one has a round blue head with black eyes and mouth markings at one end of the tubular stick. At the other end is a black seals foot. Each one has Zoggs printed in black around the coloured tube. They are made of a smooth plastic. The tube is a softer a more flexible plastic than the head and foot. These sticks are quite durable. These seals are weighted so when thrown into the swimming pool they will sing to the bottom and stand...

Review of Zoggs Seal Dive Sticks

Sticky yet safe. (Pritt Stick)

Advantages: Quick to apply and dry.
Disadvantages: None really, although I don't use it much anymore.

...Another item from my stationary box that warrants a review is the humble Pritt Stick. It was invented in 1968 and by 1971 was sold in over thirty six different countries. "Pritt" being the brand of the glue stick is still a market leader although many other brands of glue stick are now available. The particular stick I have is the 20g one which is relatively small, approx seven centimetres in height. The glue is housed in a predominantly white plastic container with a white easy to twist off cap. The brand name "Pritt" is clearly labelled and two messages are boasted on the tube: "Quick, easy, clean & washable" and "Safe & solvent free". The back of the tube states the quantity and gives advice on uses, a recommendation to replace the cap after use and that the product is not suitable for children less than thirty six months as...

An everyday stick pen

Advantages: seems to write well
Disadvantages: none

...I had to write a note today and I used a Steadtler 430m. stick pen. Looking through my stationary drawer and discovered several staedtler stick pens. Steadtler 430 m stick pens are available in Blue, red, black and green ink. These pens are as you can see from the picture have a clear plastic shaft/barrel , This is 13cm long, just less than a cm in diameter. The shaft is a hexagon with 6 straight sides this is good as it mean the pen does not easily roll of the table. You can see the ink through the plastic, its not easy to distinguish the colour from a full pen though.. At one end of the pen is a coloured stopper at the other a strong metal ball point nib. There is a plastic lid which has a clip on it so you can clip it onto the edge of your paper or jacket pocket. This lid is coloured to match the ink. This lid is also...

A Hop a stick and a jump

Advantages: fun to read
Disadvantages: a lot going on

...As soon as we received the Gruffulo last year as a present, we have been reading more titles from Julia Donaldson as my daughter has really taken to her rhyming style of writing. We saw Stick Man in the library so we added it to our pile. I think this week it has been the most well read book in our house. Stick Man is yes you guessed it a stick. Unlike any other stick he is about to go on a journey through the book trying to find his way home to his ?family tree?. The book starts when stick man leaves his tree to go for a jog, but soon gets chased by a dog. Escaping from the dog, poor stick man is accosted by a little girl wanting to play pooh sticks with him. As he trails down the river a swan catches him for her nest, before he manages to get free and floats into the sea. Being the finishing touches to a sandcastle isn?t what...

Stick It On

Advantages: Snappy pacing and nicely shot action.
Disadvantages: Cliches aplenty and total predictability.

...tricks, it makes for an impressive display. "Stick It" is yet another enjoyable but unoriginal addition to the teen movie genre. It presents hackneyed material in fast-paced and enthusiastic fashion and manages to make gymnastics look exciting. However, I couldn't help but wish it was a little more like Bendinger's "Bring It On" in terms of the levels of bitchiness and rivalry. It's just not quite as sharp as her previous work. Though it may not be anything new, it's the sort of film that could easily become a guilty pleasure. I wouldn't pay money to see it at the cinema, but if there's nothing else out at the video shop, you could do worse....

Nice Sticks Of Ice!

Advantages: Taste Lovely
Disadvantages: Quite A Few Additites

...The weather was hot and I was on a long walk in the Derbyshire Countryside when I spotted a sign outside a local Shop promising Wall's Ice Cream. It was just what I needed. I quickly found the Ice Cream freezer just inside the doorway but as I peered inside I realised that its contents were rather sparse and consisted only of Cornetto's and some odd looking Orange flavoured Lollies called Calippo. Faced with little choice I was intrigued enough by the Calippo Ice Lolly Stick to part with 65p. Calippo come packaged in a rather oddly shaped cardboard tube that tapers towards the bottom. The top is round in shape with a thin plastic peel away lid. Once the lid has been removed it becomes evident that this product is basically a giant Orange flavoured mass of Ice. I suppose that it is similar in texture to an Ice Pop, but much...

Write with this stick pen

Advantages: Good for writing that homework
Disadvantages: none

...Its amazing the variety of simple stick pens I have in my stationary draw next to my computer. When tidying up the other day I came across some Papermate stick 2020 pens. This ball point pen is available in red, blue, black and green, they are available in either a fine or medium nib. The fine one giving a line 0.3 mm width, the medium line 0.4 mm width. These pens have an outer casing of the same colour as the ink inside you can not see how much ink is left through the pen. The lid which has a moulded clip to hook the pen on a paper or onto your jacket pocket is the same colour. These pens measure 14.1/2 cm. The barrel of these pens is circular and they easily roll onto the floor of your desk. The colour of the ink is a good bold colour. They write well. I have used many. The pen is easy enough to hold and use, rolls...

Yummy chocolate biscuit sticks

Advantages: Yummy taste, Satisfying
Disadvantages: VERY More-ish

...***MIKADO BISCUITS*** Mikado biscuits are made by Kraft who is also well known for making Ritz, Toblerone, Oreo and DairyLea products. These biscuits got their name from a game formally known as ?pick up sticks?, but is actually called Mikado. From this idea they made ultra-thin, crunchy biscuit sticks coated in smooth milk chocolate. They leave one end of the stick bare so you don?t get your fingers sticky and so they don?t leave melted chocolate all over your fingers. ***NUTRITION INFORMATION*** In the single boxes you get 75g worth of biscuits which is quite a lot seeing as the biscuit sticks are quite small. Each biscuit is about 2.3g and contains the following: ? Fat ? 0.5g of which saturates 0.3g ? Fibre ? 0.1g ? Sodium ? Trace ? Energy ? 44/11 KJ/kcal ? Protein ? 0.2g ? Carbohydrate ? 1.5g ? Protein ? 0.2g...

Do you need to stick??

Advantages: great sticky stuff
Disadvantages: more expensive than some rivals

...Pritt **PACKAGING** I use a lot of this at home and at work, and tend to buy it by the box, usually 24 of the 40g sticks, since these are the ones I think are the easiest for children to hold (the glue sticks, not the box) So, thinking of the 40g stick, these have a pull off top and written all over the stick is the Pritt logo. There is a black turn up and turn down mechanism at the bottom which makes the actual glue stick move up or down. Children are usually quite fascinated by this, and at first twist the glue right to the top, but once the initial attraction has worn off, are usually quite sensible about the whole activity. So, a simple twist moves the glue so that it can be used; twist in the opposite direction, and down it goes again; put the top back on, and bingo? glue for another day. **ADVANTAGES** · The advantage...
