Campbell’s Chunky Old Fashioned Vegetable Beef Soup


 This is the time for soup and Campbell’s Chunky Old Fashioned Vegetable Beef Soup is soup. I mean, it is light on the chunky but then do you want soup to be chunky? 

As soup goes, I don't care. I really feel indifference towards this soup. Given that canned soup can be thought of as a survival food then indifference isn't a bad reaction. It also has an easy flip top lid so no can opener is needed. The only problem is when I opened this my cats came running because they thought it was for them. 

The only think I would change about this would be to add some black or red beans to make it more filling, and add some pepper to give it flavor. After that, it kind of just is.

Aces Food Sriracha Rooster Ramen Noodle Soup


 I have no idea what puts the Rooster in this Aces Food Sriracha Rooster Ramen Noodle Soup but Rooster is what distinguishes it from the pink one. The black one has more spice. 

If you want to make ramen for two I would suggest adding more water. There wasn't enough broth in this to serve two even as the pack said it was two servings. I put enough vegetables for two and it was hard to finish this meal. I did need water. 

Honestly, I would have like more vegetables and less noodles but I live alone and had no one to share this with.   

Anyway, cleared my sinuses right and fast. It didn't take long for me to let the boogers fly. This is a hangover cure for shore. You could still use and ibuprofen but it got me cleared out and feeling better. 

If your sick, if you feel bad, or if you just don't want to cook, this is a great thing to have around the kitchen. The flavor is rather strong. Not really strong, but it is strong by ramen standards. I'd still get the bowl over the pack so you can take it to work, this does what ramen should.

First Street Tuna Premium Chunk Light in Water


 The big cans of First Street Tuna Premium Chunk Light in Water were on sale at my local Smart and Final and so I got a few for holidays with my cats. Yes, I give my cats better food for holidays. Don't judge me, the little boogers are always more cuddly that way. 

You get a mixed bag with this tuna. Some of it was really dry but most of the cans are very good. It tends to go that way with tuna. In addition I found that I best open the cans over the cat's plate because I spill all the water in there. There is a lot of water in there and the cats lap it up. 

If you're a health hog and you need that build batter to get your pump on then this is a great product to have around the house.  If you get tired of it you can always find a cat lover to give it to and it's good tuna. It's not the best tuna I've had but it is good.  I'll be watching to see when this goes on sale.

Black Rifle Coffee Berry Mocha Espresso


 It's the New Year and the new you has a hangover or will have a hangover because the party is over and you have a lot of beer to drink. It could be hard booze, I don't judge, just remember that there is a limit. 

So you need something strong to wake that tail end up and get you to work. The boss said if you call off you get canned. 

Is Black Rifle Coffee Berry Mocha Espresso that something? It could be. I mean, it would not replace a good V8 to get that body back on line but V8 will not have the kick you need to start things off. 

So Black Rifle Coffee Berry Mocha Espresso is a semisweet smooth brew with a slightly bitter aftertaste. I would say I like it and it does get me going for work. They didn't have all that much of it at the store where I got it so I can't tell you about long term impact, but this stuff is solid all the way.   

I'm putting this on my buy list. Good stuff.
