Open Hand

Advantages Really makes you think
Disadvantages In her own words: a little too worked on

...SUZANNE VEGA - DAYS OF OPEN HAND = About Suzanne: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suzanne was born on 11 July 1959, in Santa Monica - California. When she was around the age of one, her parents divorced, and her mother married a Puerto Rican born writer/teacher, Ed Vega. For a lot of years Suzanne did not have any contact with her father. She was brought up in Hispanic surroundings, with her 3 siblings (born to her mother and step-dad), and thus grew up able to speak both Spanish and English. She will often reminisce about falling a lot as a child, as she was always walking around in a daze, daydreaming.

The 200ml size option will also be a blessing for those people who don’t want huge drinks, and for parents... Read review

Advantages Packaging, clean fingers
Disadvantages Bad value for money, choking hazard

...to Corn pops cereal because they are made of maize but to get to them you will first have to open the packet. Now this is where the "one handed snack" thing fails for me. How is it possible to open the packet using one hand only? Of course, you could use your teeth but who would want to do that? Answers: 1) almost impossible and 2) not very many people. Describing the taste, it is a blatantly artificial one, quite sweet like curry sauce and slightly spicy although not to any real extent. The smell is quite similar to that of curry sauce you would find at fast food chains, but the main let down for me is that these snacks can not decide if they are sweet or savoury. This flavour is suitable for vegetarians, as is the other flavour, be warned the other flavour is even sweeter, not something I would like to try again. They contain all sort... Read review
