Totino's Mexican Style Frozen Pizza

Totino's Pizza is manufactured by Pillsbury and definitely lives up to the company name. I'm definitely not a fan of cooking anything, but this frozen pizza was worth it.

The Mexican style pizza featured ground beef, tomato, onion, and cheese as its toppings. I'm usually not a fan of onions on anything, but I am a fan of Mexican food - so i was willing to give this a try.

The pizza cooked up nice - a lot faster than the 12-13 minute cook time on the box, which was good. The pizza also cut cleanly and didn't leave a big mess in the kitchen.

However, they pizza really wasn't that Mexican. Sure it had all the ingredients, but it wasn't screaming TACO PIZZA!!!! But what was great was the crust. I love a thin crust pizza and this one was exceptional. It was almost cracker-like in it's crispness.

Arizona Southern Style Sweet Tea

This stuff is great!!! I'm from the Deep South and can really appreciate a good sweet tea. Rarely has a company successfully been able to capture, market, and sell a southern style sweet tea while capturing the real flavor of the tea.

Served chilled the tea is amazing. It has a great sweet factor without coming across as syrupy. One of the pitfalls of manufacturing southern sweet tea is making it without a syrup and Arizona has done just that.

For 99 cents the 24oz. tall boy can is a bargain. This can is the size of a big beer and quenches most thirsts on contact.

Snack Time Mission

Here at snack time my mission is to find some of the best snacks around and tell you all about them. I want you to know all about the best snacks avail bile and avoid some of the garbage floating around.

I am 21 year old college student who loves food! I really enjoy eating and the good times it comes with. I also know the pain of bad and sucky foods. I want to educate people about the great choices around them and open their eyes to some foods they may have overlooked.

I will also aim to find where these snacks are available, their price, sizes, and grade them on a school based grading scale (A being the highest and F being the lowest - with pluses and minuses thrown in to flavor).
