Taste of Tropical

Advantages: taste, price, texture
Disadvantages: /

...of the latest editions I tried is the Muller Healthy Balance Corner: Tropical and Granola. The Healthy Balance Corners have been available for a while, but only recently have they introduced the 'and Granola' range. Before trying the tropical one, I had sampled the strawberry option, which I adored. There is also a raspberry one but I am struggling to find it. With such a great success from the strawberry and granola corner though, I was looking forward to this one incredibly. These Healthy Balance options come in a pack of two, unlike the other Corners which are sold either separately or in a multi pack of six. The yoghurt, this time like the rest of the Corners, comes in a white split pot, albeit slightly smaller than usual. The cardboard sleeve around it is a bright red colour, with 'Healthy Balance' written in large white block lettering...

Totally Tropical

Advantages: Educational, unusal, great value for money
Disadvantages: Not great for younger kids

...Tropical World is situated at the Roundhay Village end of Leeds Roundhay Park. It is an intriguing combination of winter gardens and zoo with a series of expertly created landscapes such as Amazonian rainforest, Australasian desert and swamps for the visitor to explore. Curiously - sine the theme is short-lived, you embark on your trip via the "HMS Tropical World" - not a ship at all just a concept - and the first stop is a tropical beach scene; rather disappointingly there is not much to see here, just a mock up of a tropical beach. It's at this point that everyone takes off their hats and coats in preparation for the heat and humidity that lies ahead. Each ecosystem is home to the birds, fish, insects, plants and trees that would live there; obviously there are some limitations - this is not a zoo and it is all indoors so there...

A TROPICAL DELIGHT

Advantages: A great Juice for a fantastic price.
Disadvantages: None

...-0- TESCO TROPICAL JUICE DRINK -0- I do most of my shopping in Tesco as it is very near my home. If I am in Brighton City Centre I will then go to Waitrose or Marks and Spencer. But to be honest, Tesco has just about everything that I could want, food wise and all under one roof. I also buy online with Tesco if I am quite busy any particular week. What I think is great about Tesco is that they offer a 'Value' range for people on a bit of a budget. These items from the value range are extremely good on the whole and excellent value too. On our last shopping trip we purchased amonst other things a 2 litre bottle of Tesco Tropical Juice Drink. It was a good size bottle and costing only 99p. I get through quite a lot of juice and usually get Tropicana or Tesco finest, which is rather expensive. But the colour of this Tropical Juice...

TROPICAL FRESHNESS

Advantages: softens clothes. leaves them smelling great
Disadvantages: none i can think of

...the same apart from the fragrance. Sometimes ill just choose a bottle simply because I like the colour of the fabric softener inside it; a bit weird I know but hey each to their own. I suppose you can say that I'm as addicted to fabric softeners as I am to perfumes. I first bought Comfort Tropical Burst a month or so ago from Tesco's, the reason I immediately purchased it was because it was on a special introductory offer and only cost £0.95 for a massive 1.5litre bottle, which would last me well over a week considering it is much bigger than the usual 750ml bottles I tend to purchase. As you can see from the picture at the top of this review the bottle of Fabric Softener is supplied in a tall see through plastic bottle, which has a curvy shape to it. On the top of the bottle there is a bright orange screw on/off lid which also acts as...

Tropic Thunder review

Advantages: Funny, Great trailers at the start
Disadvantages: Does drag a bit

..."Tropic Thunder" is Ben Stiller's first film as director since 2001's Zoolander, which this film does share some similarities. It stars himself, Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black as different kinds of fictitious actors working on a war film called "Tropic Thunder", and all for different reasons. Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.) is a Australian actor with a short temper (wonder who that's based on?) and is known as a very serious, method actor. He's already won 5 academy awards and really likes to immerse himself in a role. In Tropic Thunder, he has his skin dyed dark to play the role of Osiris, the platoons black Sergeant. Jack Black is a comedy actor named Jeff "Fatty" Portnoy who is mainly known for his "The Fatties" films, which are basically just non-stop farting for 90 mins. He takes on this role to try and be seen as a serious...

A zoo for all the family! Tropical Wings

Advantages: Fun, educational
Disadvantages: Only half a day, can be crowded

...Tropical Wings is a small zoo/butterfly house and is in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex. I visited for about the third time earlier today. It is near Southend and Chelmsford and the website has directions about how to get there from these places. We visited and found that it was very busy and had to go in the overflow car park, most of the visitors were elderly or families with children. It was very busy but I suppose it was because it was in the summer holiday. At the entrance is the gift shop which sells various bits and bobs but nothing particularly great. There is a desk where you pay admission fees which are £7.75 for adults and £4.75 for children and family tickets are also available at a discounted price. The first thing in Tropical Wings is the Tropical House which is one of the largest butterfly houses in the UK. It is very...

Tasteful Tropical Twist!

Advantages: delicious, easy to chew, lasting taste, attractive packaging
Disadvantages: n/a

...**Trident Soft - Tropical Twist** I went through a phase recently, where I'd crave chewing gum none stop (and I didn't even know it was possible to crave such a thing!). I was forever buying packets of endless flavours, but I could not find one that was satisfying. One brand had a really dull and short taste, while others were difficult to chew and quite rubbery. Nothing seemed to work for me? After seeing an advert on TV, the first thing that caught my eye about this all-new Trident flavour was its attractive packaging. It was shown in a cute little box, which orange and beige spiral patterns on the front, with the text 'Trident soft' written across it. It looked so refreshing and mouth-watering! I read the flavour; 'Tropical Twist'. Well, that explained the patterns on the box! I love anything with a cooling tropical taste to it...

Review of Trident Soft Tropical Twist

Taste the tropics

Advantages: Nice taste, nice packaging.
Disadvantages: Can be epensive in certain shops.

...will also say that it smells like all the fruit in it, and it smells lovely. THE PACKAGING: ----------------- The packaging looks good and is eye catching on the shelf. The drink is contained in a 1L carton as most juice drinks do these days. The background has tropical leaves and the front shows pictures of some of the fruits that are in the drink. The Tropicana tropics logo is at the top and centre of the carton and is repeated on all sides. One side contains the usual nutritional information and tells you a bit about Tropicana. The other side tells you a little bit about the other flavours in the Tropicana range. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION: -------------------------- For 100ml: Energy 55kcal Fat: 0g Vitamin C: 15mg=25%RDA That's all I will put, as I don't want to bore you. VALUE FOR MONEY: ------------------ I picked this...

Review of Tropicana Tropics

A Taste of the totally Tropical

Advantages: Good selection of animals to view
Disadvantages: Repeating areas you've already visited

...I first visited this attraction way back on a school when I was in short trousers and my top lip was marmite. Only recently did I darken its doors again and I felt like I was back in my school days and half expecting Miss Richards to shout "STOP TEASING THOSE MONKEYS!" I did expect a lot of natural evolution over the twenty years plus since my last visit and there have been an improvement but sadly no, apart from the lick of paint and shift round of the gift shop it seemed almost the same. Open every day excluding Xmas and Boxing Day, Tropical World attracts 1 million visitors a year to the 'Home of the largest collection of tropical plants outside of Kew Gardens'. At the staring point of the tour, Coronation house, you see a display of seasonal flowers as you past the small teashop on your right to head thorough an archway to...

Review of Tropical World (Leeds)

A tropical delight!

Advantages: Nice healthy snack
Disadvantages: Very more-ish!

...I began buying Muller corner yogurts a few years ago as a treat and has become a weekly must have in our fridge. However, since then, the variety available has become very extensive and there is something available in this range to suit all tastes. When I recently became conscious of gaining a little weight, I picked up the healthy balance range to try instead of the regular yogurts. Thinking that I was going to be dissappointed and wishing that I'd stuck to my usual ones, I reluctantly peeled the top off my healthy corner Tropical. What I found inside was a nice surprise! For anyone who has never sampled this range, each muller corner comes in a square container of about 4" x 4" with a peel back cover, showing a picture of the filling inside. The 'muller' logo is in the top left hand corner with 'corner' written in large red...
