As soon as I saw this the other day I snapped one straight up!<br />
Vanilla is one of my favourite flavourings so this was definitely right up my street!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Vanilla flavour comes through slightly light at first - especially when you're having it as an accompaniment to a strong coffee!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the typical crunchy, crispy KitKat that I love, with that hint of something extra!<br />As a 'Stirred' product it is designed to be stirred into coffee or tea but I also quite liked just eating it like a regular bar as a snack.<br />
I would definitely have it again and would love it to become a regular addition to the KitKat family!<br />
<br />
I'd definitely recommend anyone to try it!<br />

I wanted to wait, ensure the right words and do justice to the fact that this is a brand new year.<br />
Although it's cliched, the beginning of a new year is the perfect time for a new start, new goals and new ideas. Your brain seems to click this and I for one, find myself staring into space thinking about all of the things that may be possible!<br />
<br />
I'm 23 now and am starting to realise that I would like a bit more out of life. I adore gaming nights with my friends, cinema trips, Jell-O shots and days that I spend watching Netflix and doing nothing else! But I feel like in my mind that I am 'growing up a bit' (I must admit it's slightly terrifying) but I understand the indicators and this is what makes me want to try harder this year.<br />
<br />
I want to make this a year of new things! Trying new foods from restaurants when we eat out, taking a chance and seeing a film I probably wouldn't have usually, visiting a new holiday location, trying anew workout routine..<br />
Finally the slightly more serious goals I guess; finally learning t drive and getting a car will be a big deal for me this year. I feel it will give me a bigger sense of freedom and allow me to do a lot of things not possible now. I also want to find a different, more stable job as I feel it's what I need right now. I want somewhere to call 'my place of work' that isn't home. This isn't necessarily in an area I dream of or something I see myself doing long term but I feel I need some stability work-wise right. now.<br />
This will enable me and the wonderful boyfriend to move out into a rental property in another area which I feel will give us some more space to enjoy being us and also more time to ourselves. I'll be having people round to 'ours', *hopefully* getting a dog and I'm just looking forward to having our very own place to call 'home'.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also I am aiming to post twice a week for the next month whilst i'm busy tending to all the changes above!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hope you are all having a fantastic 2016!</b></div>

Poundland are definitely one of my go-to stores for Christmas. They stock decorations, treats, cards, dvds, homewares - you name it! All for a rock bottom price and there are real gems to be found!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked these Hessian Sacks up from there a few weeks back (they sold like lightning!) and they are the best quality i've found! Couldn't believe they were only £1!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mostly I've been searching their website - shipping costs £4 regardless of how much you buy - or FREE if you spend £50 - so that's not too bad it you're planning on doing a big shop. It's also great as you never have to worry about something not being in stock as it changes so frequently in stores.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been eyeing up all the fantastic treats and stocking fillers available and i've compiled my favourites into a Pinterest board that you can view below. Mostly sweet treats but some crafting items and homewares too.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have been wanting to try this American treat for <b>so long</b>!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came across them in my local Tesco Extra and just had to buy some - I'm a big lover of the <b><a href="http://hostesscakes.com/">Hostess </a></b>brand and their Twinkies so I couldn't wait to try another product from them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqEPWc_Cswb_KvxOirLpD0Ge4emcio6UVyfYZ_t-90ze9YA1mpses7KVPNwCNXqWDlUm3XQGxZl1FmnGQpl0kbfjNcGDE6Mp9Kt-9vwreQdHOhL98V2QGmu4KBHD-agQeFF3MlHQIHST4/s1600/IMG_5183.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqEPWc_Cswb_KvxOirLpD0Ge4emcio6UVyfYZ_t-90ze9YA1mpses7KVPNwCNXqWDlUm3XQGxZl1FmnGQpl0kbfjNcGDE6Mp9Kt-9vwreQdHOhL98V2QGmu4KBHD-agQeFF3MlHQIHST4/s320/IMG_5183.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I definitely wasn't disappointed!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBVWsbMWSvPIiYNU-NDISQ1eu8rKGzekV2QPVTbQ4izT_ylttnMgv-x5zIkZ7nZzTXRV2N2AQkdYQj5Q6_pBCXCIi2kZnPRmGc8Udmqxpp7eDhBK16cr8XmAm7BPJA-z79mJWfmFN9IDo/s1600/IMG_5179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBVWsbMWSvPIiYNU-NDISQ1eu8rKGzekV2QPVTbQ4izT_ylttnMgv-x5zIkZ7nZzTXRV2N2AQkdYQj5Q6_pBCXCIi2kZnPRmGc8Udmqxpp7eDhBK16cr8XmAm7BPJA-z79mJWfmFN9IDo/s320/IMG_5179.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
They look like giant coconut mallow balls - they are squishy to the touch!<br />
They aren't what I was expecting inside though -<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkCC2FhgHDsjw8RDrXRT6bYeMrlGDi_yOX9KcZX4piDbEu-lVVcBdGvGKHIa7Ty9JNjK0bJt9ncshmWdC36NOcPjvsjF_NqGj1GQnxWzqKIpXkAwS91QwHCntt33PEo0kX7_1tGw0qY-I/s1600/IMG_5180.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkCC2FhgHDsjw8RDrXRT6bYeMrlGDi_yOX9KcZX4piDbEu-lVVcBdGvGKHIa7Ty9JNjK0bJt9ncshmWdC36NOcPjvsjF_NqGj1GQnxWzqKIpXkAwS91QwHCntt33PEo0kX7_1tGw0qY-I/s320/IMG_5180.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The inside is actually a soft chocolate cake! It is a little dry but still very light and full of chocolate flavour, it doesn't overpower the taste of the coconut and mallow either which I liked.<br />
Then at the centre of the chocolate cake comes smooth white cream (a bit like that out of the centre of a Cadbury mini roll) which makes it a little less drying.<br />
I really enjoyed trying them and I think I would have them again - I'm hoping to find them a little cheaper though and that B&M may start stocking them like they do Twinkies!<br />
<br />

<b>So what's so special about them?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
They measure; Body Weight, Fat Percentage, Hydration, Muscle and Bone Mass using Auto Recognition and Infant Tare Technology. This enables you to monitor every aspect of your weight loss easily<br />
<br />
They can save up to 8 separate people's profiles to track their weight loss and progress</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has different modes so you can weigh infants, pets and even luggage too! So it's multi-purpose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It features touch sensitive buttons for easy use - there's nothing I love more than touch-screen being an iPhone user!<br />

<br />
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone! As they are multi-purpose they are perfect for any occasion and will really help to motivate you as they track your progress every week by saving your own profile. You will be able to see your weekly progress by the amounts dropping and it is so motivating it's unreal!<br />
<br />
Buy a set here while they're half price: http://www.amazon.co.uk/1/dp/B004NXUAXW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1447802338&sr=8-2&keywords=ozeri+touch+ii</div>

These immediately caught my eye due to the unusual flavour and my love of having Potato Skins as a starter when I go out to eat! They taste Awesome!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, they obviously don't taste exactly like potato skins but they have a rougher texture, spices and quite a high starchy taste which has a real likeness to the real thing. Considering they're crisps, they haven't done a bad job at all on the flavouring!</div>

I love Amazon for everything and buy a whole selection off there from Tshirts to Video Games to everything meeting my 'Star Wars fan-girl' needs! So if you're ever in need of Anything - check Amazon first!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have this great 'Wishlist' feature that actually tells you when they drop in price and how much of a percentage it's dropped by too! (I think that's Awesome!)</div>

So thanks to the lovely people over at Ribena I got the chance to try this bottle of warming deliciousness at home! I got my favourite retro mug ready and boiled the kettle..</div>

I states to make 1 part Ribena, 4 parts water so I tried to estimate it - the first time I made it way too strong though! Oops!</div>

In goes the hot water (I boiled the kettle and then left it for between 30-60 seconds before pouring) and the temperature was just right!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> So.. how did is taste??</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The extra spices add a little extra to the texture and the hot water seems to add an extra 'layer' somewhat to the flavour and the drink tastes thicker than it would cold. I absolutely loved everything about it and will definitely be buying more - I loved warm blackcurrant before bed when I was younger so this is right up my alley!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It was very warming! I'd definitely drink this in a morning before heading out, as well as again at night before bed. You could really taste the extra spices in there - not super strong but enough to have you body warmed - just like when you have a cinnamon coffee! I'd definitely recommend this product to all ages - the perfect drink for the whole family, including the little ones this Autumn and Winter!</div>

I'm a huge lover of the Ben & Jerry's brand and was super excited when I first heard that they were releasing a new flavour. Not only does the brand makes absolutely delicious and unique ice-cream flavours but they are big advocates for helping to save the planet and the reason they create Special Edition flavours is to help spread the world about these causes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Save Our Swirled</b> reads: <b>SOS! </b>It's more than just a call to action: it's a <b>swirled-class flavour</b> you can't resist, and a <b>climate change message</b> you can't ignore. <b>If it's melted, it's ruined.</b> Learn more & <b>take action</b> at <b>benjerry.com/climate</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I personally think that brand's this big that are helping to share this message is something that definitely needs to be cheered at! Any ice cream with this message and such fantastic inventive methods and flavours is a winner in my book!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At a first glance the ice cream looks nothing special but the lovely swirls even seen when opening the lid are definitely something special! I love that Ben & Jerry's definitely completely fill their tubs - there is no empty half of the container here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The swirls definitely run through the entirety of the ice cream instead of just one side which is exactly what is wanted - the Raspberry ice cream is quite subtle but the added swirls make a heavenly combination! The blackberry swirls add an extra little kick which really sums up the flavour but to me, it is definitely not just another raspberry-ripple!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see from the photo above, the swirls do really go all the way down the tub and there is actually quite a lot of 'filling'. The final ingredient is the gorgeous two-tone chocolate cones! A milk chocolate cone with a white chocolate top adds something both cute and ingenious.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would definitely recommend this to anyone! Whether you're a lover of the brand or this would be your first taste of Ben & Jerry's - it would be an excellent starting point I think as it isn't quite as sweet and overloading as something like Phish Food! My boyfriend isn't a fan of the brand but he really loved this flavour too!</div>

This beautiful product was found in an aisle at the Tesco Extra near me and I'm a big fan of anything Irish and i've heard before that Irish shortbread specifically, is amazing.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For starter's the box being an Emerald green is really appealing and that it' 'Made With Irish Butter' is also another perk of it's authenticity as the butter is extra creamy and delicious!</div>

I ahve heard of the GRACE'S brand before but have never come across them so I couldn't wait to just dig into the pack and taste the product! The shapes of the biscuits are an exact replica of the photo on the pack which I was quite impressed by. The shape makes you simply think of Ireland with it being a Shamrock and they look really cute and perfect for St. Patrick's Day! If you need an occasion of course.. In total you get 8 biscuits in the pack so they are great for sharing if you wish.</div>

I was really impressed by the pure thickness of the shortbread and how the pieces had settled in the box as there were nearly no crumbs upon opening the packet. The biscuit seemed sturdy but I could already feel the sensation of the butter as soon as I picked one up in my hand - (Not a bad thing by the way)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Upon tasting, a beautiful velvety texture awaits, engulfed with shiny butter and crisp sweet biscuit which I find was the perfect combination! Beware of the overloading crumbs that come when eating though - so probably best not to eat it over a cup of hot coffee or tea.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really is the best i've ever tasted and for the price, I wouldn't hesitate to buy again!</div>

I found these whilst browsing during the main shop this week and thought they sounded pretty good..<br />
After all coconut and Chocolate are a fantastic combination and I'm a big fan of the Bounty!<br />
As the name Caribbean Dream states.. imagine yourself on a dessert island, sun lounger with yogurt in hand and a spoon (think tv adverts) and I think it actually fits quite well!<br />
When you open the lid, the strong sweet smell of coconut comes right at you topped with a light chocolate scent - heavenly..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
I've always loved Crunch Corners for as long as I can remember. My favourite bit is tipping the filling into the yoghurt and mixing it all together! When you tip the pack it's always nice to hear that satisfying 'snap!'<br />
The chocolate filling is basically chocolate mixed with large coconut flakes and they provide a fantastic texture. Together it really does tastes like you're eating a bounty on a different level - one that's more of a liquid but still as amazing nonetheless<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The syrup soaked in beautifully to the pancakes and it was runny, sickly sweet and everything you would expect - I would definitely have them again and can't believe I hadn't tried them sooner!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you love pancakes and syrup - get yourselves to McDonalds between 5:30 - 10:30am - you won't be disappointed for <b>£2.29!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>HEAVENLY BREAKFAST IN A BOX!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>WITH ADDED SYRUP!</b></div>

I spotted these when shopping and they were on sale too! So I thought - why not? I may as well try them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even from reading the product name I could tell they would be delicious..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure about you, but I've noticed that Salted Caramel has become a recent trend?? Not that i'm complaining of course! Just an observation..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I loved about this product is the simple and classic nature of the packaging, you can 't go wrong with a trusty paper bag! The font and colours of writing used makes it lok more of a luxury product and like it is definitely some of 'Tesco''s Finest'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the front of the bag you can see the cookies through a see-through window and I couldn't believe how big they looked! They were literally nearly as big as my hand! (picture proof below!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was definitely not disappointed when it came to opening them up.. the beautiful smell of caramel seemed to ooze from the bag and the smell of homely fresh cookies.. The cookies are slightly soft to the touch and the large chunks of both Salted Caramel and Belgian Chocolate can be seen immediately - I love that the chunks are also so well dispersed as i'm sure i'm not the first to find that when taking a cookie from a pack you actually get 1 or 2 pieces and the rest plain!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When biting into you you get an immediate moist cookie texture and the chocolate chunks add a soft and sweet bite with the salted caramel bits adding more of a chew. The perfect combination! I am happy to say that they definitely hit the spot and go perfectly with a hot cup of coffee!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did find them very sweet and managed 2 before leaving the rest for the next day but they will definitely keep you going back for more. I actually think that they are the best bakery cookies i've Ever tasted!</div>

I've been so excited to try these since I first saw them advertised at Easter!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never managed to get my hands on any though, so when I noticed these when out shopping last week I had to grab them!</div>

My favourite thing about his product has to be the amazing colours - Bright Blue, Yellow and Pink that really do just scream Easter!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had no idea they'd be so bright but there's something fascinating about almost luminescent sweets.. Especially when it's in WONKA's case!<br />

<br />
They have the same flavour as the Rainbow Nerds - the same extremely sweet and somewhat powerful aftertaste! They are absolutely delicious but beware - the major sugar rush afterwards can hit you slightly off-guard!<br />

We were greeted at the door with a smile and walked to a lovely booth where we were presented with a complimentary glass of sparkling rose wine..<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was unsure at first what might be included in the meal but when I asked the waitress, we were told we could anything on the menu - appetisers, sides, drinks.. you name it! I was amazed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our waitress did a fantastic job of recommending food for each course as well as the dry red wine she picked out for us - we honestly couldn't have had better service!</div>

So truth be told, we ate quite a large amount but we were in the restaurant for around 3 hours so it was lovely and relaxed. The atmosphere with candles and gentle music playing made it the perfect place to share a meal with a loved one.<br />

I spotted these chunks of loveliness on my last shopping trip, and couldn't wait to try them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's Biscuit, Toffee Popcorn, Caramel and Candy Shells.. Sounds like heaven..</div>

As the pictures show, the cookies have lots of filling which I was happy about as usually you can get cooking with hardly any of the extras in. The contents was well dispersed around the cookies and they had plenty of delicious crunch! You can immediately taste the sweetness of the candy shells, followed by the soft popcorn texture and the caramel flavour comes through after giving it a fantastic aftertaste - and making them Very moreish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the perfect balance of a delicious cookie to have with your hot beverage of choice, with the added fun of interesting fillings which I think makes them perfect for all ages. They are not overly sweet as the base cookie mix and popcorn keeps the slight savoury element.</div>

I love that they come in single wrappers which makes them the perfect snacks for journeys or lunchboxes! They come in packs of 4 so the perfect amount I think for the week if you're buying 2 packs for £2!<br />

I think the imprinted name looks really cute and the printed 'crack' in the centre makes you just want to snap it and enjoy the delicious taste!<br />
The biscuit is actually quite thick and has a fantastic snap to it. The filling really surprised me though - the chocolate is actually a hard slab (whereas I thought it might have more of a softer texture) and that teamed with the thick yet runny caramel makes it a really sweet and moreish treat!<br />
Perfect for all ages!<br />

I was amazingly lucky to win a trip to Liverpool from the <a href="http://www.liverpool-one.com/">Liverpool ONE shopping centre website</a>! Included in this prize was a £250 shopping voucher to spend in the centre!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used it as an unusual excuse for me to go on a shopping spree! As a rule, I usually scout the sales or go out and grab the one or two items that I need at that time.. So this prize felt amazing to me for that reason alone!</div>

1. <b>Eton Mess</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These had a beautifully light, sweet flavour with a delicious aftertaste! They definitely tasted gourmet and had a lovely natural taste perfect for adults to enjoy! The strawberry flavour came through with a sweet creamy taste near the end! These were the boyfriend's favourite too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <b>Peaches and Cream</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These were actually delicious! I had heard very mixed reviews but I loved the natural fresh peach flavour! It didn't taste artificial at all and the gummy texture made them moreish! Maybe a lot of people were thinking it may be more of a sweet artificial general 'sweetie taste'..?</div>

3. <b>Apple and Elderflower</b><br />
These were my Absolute Favourite!! I love natural and organic flavours such as elderflower and these reminded me of an Elderflower drink I used to buy. The flavour is very light and tingly instead of the usual full blast that you'd usually get, yet I enjoyed having to slightly concentrate and indulge more in the flavour. The apple sends a lovely balance of sweetness through it making it the perfect grown-up treat!<br />
4. <b>Sour Watermelon</b><br />
These are slightly different than the others as they have a coating of sugar on for extra effect! This really does them justice as I feel that the coating gives the flavour more'oomph!'. The watermelon does come through sour but not like you;d imagine, it's more of a sugary kick followed by a flavour of fresh watermelon which makes them super moreish!<br />
<br />
Overall I loved all of the flavours and would definitely consider getting them for adult get-together's and office meetings but am unsure that children would like them as much. I really enjoyed trying a gourmet version of something I love and they are a brilliant addition to any shop shelf! Not that I'll stop buying Jelly Tots and Haribo of course!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I discovered this bar of deliciousness when travelling abroad for a day trip to Germany with my parents. The packaging really stood out to me, I love the chocolate explosion and the American stars & stripes - let me say it definitely didn't disappoint!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bar is in squares like shown on the packaging but larger ones than a normal chocolate bar, i'd say each square was about half a Freddo bar! The chocolate is smooth and has a more earthy flavour than i'd say a Dairy Milk has, it is dense yet light enough to indulge in a few squares! I love that the squares have a crater'like look to them with thick edges that make it look moreish and indulgent!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how the bar has a deluxe feel when you open it, the crisp silver foil has the brand name printed onto it..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see the brownie chunks in the bar from the picture above. You can really taste them too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They taste like actual cake! Not some nasty processed bits, it literally tastes like someone has crumbled a brownie into melted chocolate and then set it into a bar! I will definitely get another bar next time I visit Germany - unfortunately I cannot find it located anywhere online although it has been featured in a previous Degustabox.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this beauty too, I only paid £1! The love I have for the exchange yet and the yummy treats our European neighbours provide!</div>

I stumbled across this completely by accident when out the other day at my local Costcutter store - but I am so glad that I did! I have to admit, I half expected it to be a tiny smidgen of honeycomb that didn't taste of much, as it's a shame that usually the addition of a new ingredient in a widely-known chocolate bar has no extra affect.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This however was filled with sweet and crunchy honeycomb flavour with a supreme texture and a crunch that flowed through the entire bar! You really could taste the chunks of honeycomb embedded in the chocolate and it melts in your mouth with a swirl of sweetness! My only slight criticism is that as usual, the bar is a few cm shorter than a usual Toffee Crisp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're a honeycomb lover than I definitely recommend trying this!</div>

I am a big lover of Lipton Ice Tea so when I heard on the internet that a new flavour was being released I couldn't wait to try it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been looking for it for around 2 months now and then I finally found it in my local Costcutter store!! It only cost 99p so that was even better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It smelled incredible when I removed the lid..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, I was let down by the taste which I was quite disappointed by. It tasted a little like watered down fruit tea, the raspberry gave quite a strong yet sour aftertaste which wasn't overly nice but I would say it is definitely a natural flavour. I can't help but think that Strawberry may have worked better as it has a sweeter natural taste and the same berry goodness</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wouldn't buy it again but am still glad I managed to try it for myself and will remain loyal to the brand in the future, hoping any new flavour combinations will be a little better than this one.</div>

These crisps were honestly I think, the best I have Ever tasted! The flavour is strong and moreish without being overpowering and the shamrock really does give them that extra Oomph! The Sour Cream flavour is delicious and actually very natural, when eating them you can just imagine the thick sour cream dip you can get! It's a very weird sensation thinking that all that flavour can be combined is one crisp!</div>

The look of them is fantastic - the visible pieces of shamrock make them look tasty and natural and they have a real crisp crunch, that lovely snap you hear when biting into one can clearly be heard. I would highly recommend these to anyone who either loves Sour cream flavours or simply isn't keen on 'normal' crisps such as Walkers, they really are something different in a fantastic way!</div>
