| - I will review here some of the products that are made for Dollarama.
Bowlfull Instant Noodle Soup *
Probably the worst product I have tried since I started reading labels. For purposes of reviewing I like to eat the product and then read the label after trying to guess what is in it. Rather an odd game but I have to amuse myself somehow. In this case I got a monosodium glutamate rush like never before so I knew that was in there. That stuff should be banned, it is everywhere and toxic. The soup was very gritty, as if it had sand in it. NEVER AGAIN.
Crunchino Chocolate Flavour Filled Cookies * (1 star)
Crunchino Hazelnut Flavour Filled Cookies * (1 star)
170 g, made in Poland for Dollarama, $1.25
Both of these cookies are dry as dust except for the gooey chemical soup centre and imitation chocolate chips. Not nice. Note to self to read the ingredient list before purchasing, this one is just scary.
Apparently Fruitropic is owned by Dollarama and an address for Fruitropic cannot be found, except that it is listed as Burundi. When I find out where Burundi is, I will let you know. Actually, this is made in China. So, the Fruitropic products I have tried:
Fruitropic Coconut Water
I like it. It has gelatinous pieces of coconut in it that makes the drink refreshing when drunk icy chilled on a hot day. Much nicer than the more popular Grace brand which has hard pieces of coconut which are quite unpleasant.
Fruitropic Mandarin Oranges, broken segments, in light syrup, 284 ml.
I like this, the oranges are plump and tasty. I wish the "light" syrup was not so sugary, but I just throw it away. I often have some oranges on top of a salad with some nuts, raisins, onions, and raspberry salad dressing.
Sante is apparently made in Poland for Dollarama, you need to know your geography to figure that out.
Sante Granola with Pomegranate (and apparently, blueberries) crispy cereal flakes
Comes in a 325 g bag
I liked the first bowl (with milk) a lot, then the next day took a closer look and found that the blueberries were little perfect square cubes and quite tough. I could not see any pomegranates. Looked on the label - apparently those cubes are indeed pomegranates as well as blueberries mixed with other stuff and formed into cubes. AWK! There's a lot of sugar in this cereal. I might try it again, thought the second bowl had to sit with the milk in for an hour it while I tended to the two terrors (cats) who were yet again in trouble, and when I got back the cereal had turned to unappetizing mush.
Tasteful Mushrooms, Whole Choice Grade
284 ml, made in China and imported for Dollarama
Can was full of mushrooms after pouring out over-salted liquid, tasted fine. Might buy again.
I will review other Dollarama food products as I try them...
