| Not bad, Jimbob, not bad! ~ Sainsbury's Southern Fried Chicken Wrap (err...imagine that says Sainsbury's instead of Tesco)Pros:Stuffed full of...stuff Part of a crackin' Meal Deal (£3 for wrap, crisps and bottle of juice) BBQ sauce and mayo tasted OK Cons:Disasterous salt and fat content, and the calories mean I've added an extra stone More lettuce, carrot, cabbage and red pepper and actual chicken - cheeky! Tortilla could be used as sandpaper Is today the 4th? 60%A reasonable option as part of a Meal Deal, but it wouldn't be my first choice. That's processed sandwiches/baguettes/wraps for ya. |

| From the picture, it looks like the Tesco's wraps have more meat in.
Does a hot drink count as a snack? Yes I know it's stretching it, but I tend to have big meals and not many branded snacks outside them. |

| In a thread where a steam inhaler counts as a snack, yes. |

| Excellent. Twinings Blackcurrant, Ginseng and Vanilla Tea Pros:-Given away free at my work -Gives the water a nice red colour, so that it looks fruitier than it is - possibly placebo effect? -No caffeine -Not as acrid as cranberry, raspberry and elderflower, or as cloying as hot chocolate Cons:-Doesn't smell, or indeed taste, of much besides hot water -The hot water from the machines at work disagrees with me -Makes me feel like one of those blonde things in stupid shoes, talking about their diets in between marathons 45%Would possibly be better as a steam inhaler. The tea on its own is pretty innocuous, but the water makes me poop. Still, it fills the gap between lunch and my coffee slot at 3 p.m. |

| Skittles Shake Pros:-Cold -Does genuinely taste like a handful of Skittles Cons:-Difficult to actually get any to come out of the bottle -Its a milkshake that tastes of Skittles 32%Saw this up the dairy aisle in Tesco when I went looking for some fancy new Muller Corners I liked the look of. Its not great, to be honest. I got a Mars milkshake as well, because I wasn't really expecting this to be great. It would probably have made more sense to wait and start my snack reviewing career with the Muller Corner. Also, this reminded me I still haven't tried the Skittle Vodka thing. |

| Princess Marshmallows Pros- Cheap at only £1 for a big bag
- A quality marshmallow for this pprice
- It says they are fat free...
Cons- ...but I do not believe it.
- Until I searched for the picture, I hadn't clocked that these marshmallows are "seductively soft" nor all those other filthy adjectives on the wrapping. Because of this, I felt violated.
74% - A good price for a good marshmallow. Likely to be found on a sex offenders list soon because of its seductive and devilish packaging. |

According to the packaging, these marshmallows are certainly... "bad". |

For some reason I've always been disappointed with Tesco sandwiches and wraps, I guess you get what you pay for. Their Pastrami/Gerkin/Mustard sandwich was sorely disappointing. Marks & Spencer's remain the king of pre-prepared food, though... |

| Greggs sandwiches seem to have gotten crappier over time, though I'm not sure if that's just me getting older and more bitter. |

| Walkers Baked Stars: Mild Sweet Chilli Pros:Star shapes greatly please/amuse the six-year-old in me 'Star Striker' pun on the back made me piss myself Baked = less fat = thumbs up Good, proper crunchy crisps Smells good Cons:It might as well be an empty poke: there's hardly any crisps in there 77%Nice. Not overpowering but not tasteless either. Could do with around twice the amount though - then we'd be talking GOLD AWARD. |

No doubt, but Walkers really take the mick with these. Maybe it's because of the shapes, but I think you could count the number of crisps you get on your fingers. |

| I resent buying sandwiches from bakery's. when the exact same product can be made at home. Usually cheaper too, the prices of bakery sandwiches are ridiculous.
@Phillips Those crisps are brilliant, but totally agree, shocking amount per pack. |

It might as well be an empty poke: there's hardly any crisps in there 70% less fat achieved by supplying 70% less crisps. |

Excellent review though, Phillips, pretty much what I would have said too about them (well, Walkers Baked). I quite like the Walkers Baked Cheese and Onion. |
