Robitussin® 12-Hour Cough Relief
I was able to try the Grape Robitussin 12 hour Cough Relief for free for the first time this week. First off the taste is awful. Its more of a fake medicine flavor I could barley taste the grape. I had a hard time swallowing it and the worst part is the taste lingers in your mouth and throat. But you don't want to drink water afterwards because it will ruin the coating on your throat that helps you not cough. But besides the taste it works fairly well. It helps to keep your cough down. At least for me I would say it didn't last 12 hours but maybe closer to 8. I was surprised that this mediation will also work for kids at the age of 4 and up which is great! Saves on buying multiple products for the house. I was given this product for free for the propose of my review.

Arnott's Tim Tam cookies
Arnott's Tim Tam cookies from Australia are amazing. It is two chocolate wafers that are crispy with a delicious chocolate filling in between, then dipped in chocolate. Basically its chocolate heaven! My husband had often told me about these cookies and how he ate them as a kid but we had never bucked down and bought them before. So this was a prefect opportunity to try them for free thanks to Bzzagent. I was not disappointed at all. I am embarrassed to say that I ate the whole box by myself in one day. Guess i need to go the the gym tonight. They also have some that are filled with carmel in the middle. Sounds like a better tasting version of a Twix. I need to try them next! Now that I have tasted these wonderful chocolate dedicates, I will have a hard time walking past them at the store and not buying the whole lot!
Rhodes Bread Cinnnamon Rolls
I was given the opportunity to have me and some friends try Rhodes Bread Cinnamon Rolls for free thanks to Tryazon! My local grocery store did not offer the microwaveable ones so I got the bake and serve ones. I made two test runs before the party just to make sure they came out perfect for the party. They come frozen and you have to have them thaw and raise before you bake them. There are a few different options on how long they need to rise. I decided to make two different batches to see which method worked best. First I tried the quick rise method where you preheat your oven, then turn the oven off and let them rise in the warm oven. This method works if you are in a rush but they don't rise as well as the longer method. The longer method takes about 7 hours and you just set them out on the counter and let them defrost and rise naturally. This method works a lot better. My next tip is you really have to make sure you don't over cook the cinnamon rolls, it even states this in the directions but I want to reemphasizes this point. The first batch I wasn't watching the clock as close as I should of been and I cooked them for 23 minutes. They came out a little tough and hard but still editable there were just not as enjoyable. The second batch I put a timer on and only cooked them for 15 minutes! Theses ones were perfect and delicious. Now that I was a pro at baking them I was ready to make the perfect patch for my friends! For the party I had two families from my church come over for a dinner. We had hamburgers for dinner and I had the cinnamon rolls already thawing on the counter. About half way through dinner I put the cinnamon rolls in the oven to bake and told them all about the cinnamon rolls and all the different tips I had learned to make them come out just right! Once they were done cooking we packed them up, took a small walk to the river as the cinnamon rolls cooled down just a little and then we eat them while enjoying the view! They all loved the cinnamon rolls and as they left I gave them all some coupons so that they could pick some up for themselves!

Barber Foods Cordon Bleu
I love Cordon Bleu its one of my favorite meals so I was really excited to try Barber Foods version for free thanks to Bzzagent. I cooked it in the oven because that's they only way to get the outside crispy and it always tastes better then cooking it in the microwave. The instructions said to cook for at least 20 minutes. So I did. When I pulled it out it was still ice cold in the middle. So I actually had to end up cooking it for 45 minutes to get it just right. I was surprised how wrong the instructions were. I cut it open let it cool down for just a minute and took a few bites. I was pretty disappointed. The chicken tasted great, had a nice texture and was not dry but that's all you taste. The cheese and ham inside were flavorless, which kills the whole meal. Its not Cordon Bleu with out the ham and cheese. Needless to say I wont be buying there Cordon Bleu again but I might branch out and try some of there other flavors to give them a second chance.
