The Shelf Life – the latest supermarket product reviews

So here's the latest lolly-inspired milks from the inventive folk at Oak. This time around we have... . 1. Pineapples. I'm one of those odd people who likes citrus flavours in milk, and I'll always order a pineapple or lime milkshake if I see one. I thought this needed more pineapple flavour but it's nice to see something different. . 2. Fantales. Pretty standard choc caramel going on here. . 3. Peppermint Crisp. Wow, the flavour is spot on. The clear winner, and probably the only one I'd go back for. . Find these in Woolworths now! . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 1

I saw these on insta just before Easter and managed to find them on a late-night Woolies run (racing at the speed of Jaffa) just before the break. . Like the milks, they've done a good job here. The Jaffa in particular is convincing although the Chokito is a more generic flavour. Both are very rich, dark and maybe a bit much for a single serving. I also found the Jaffa quite acidic by half-way down. . Not sure if I'll be rushing back, but most definitely worth a try @allens . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog #jaffa #chokito 2

From the "things you didn't know you needed" department. It's great to see limited editions (that aren't toilet paper) back in the shops, so normal service will be resumed here at The Shelf Life. Expect more blog posts, too. . Anyway...as a fan of citrus beverages, I was excited at the thought of "citrus beverage flavoured corn chips" until I tasted them. They have a weird, sweet... maybe lime-ish?... aftertaste that just isn't natural. Sorry, but nobody needs these. . Available at 7-Eleven if you dare. @7elevenaus . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 3

Found these in 7-Eleven and they do exactly what they promise, with a decent coffee flavour (although coffee isn't in the ingredients list). I'll definitely be stocking up when I see them @7elevenaus @maltesers . Hopefully we'll see some creative uses for them, they'd be great on a coffee cake... . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 4

Let's break up the savoury snacks with these Malteser-donuts from Krispy Kreme. They're as you would expect - chocolate glaze (sweeter / milkier than the usual choc), some ganache and a few Maltesers. It was all a bit sweet for me, but that's probably because I'm old and cranky. Grab some this weekend. @krispykremeaustralia . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 5

It's a big week for savoury snacks with some new Smith's creations still to come, but let's start with these bacon "bites" from Nobby's. I'm not sure if they are new but I hadn't noticed them before... and they're fantastic . Similar to English crisps Frazzles, these are bigger and lighter with a subtler flavour. They're not at all greasy, and you could probably eat a whole bag in one sitting ? Crunchy, porky goodness. . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 6

Picked up these curious "Golden Chipees" in Woolies today. Available in salted, cheese & bacon and salt & vinegar flavours, they're surprisingly solid and actually reminiscent of a chip... But crunchy. . They're really hard to describe, and not like anything I've had before. I'm not sure if I'll be going back, but they're worth a try @goldenchipeesanz @woolworths_au . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 7

At first glance this might look like a normal packet of Arnott's Creams... But look closer and there's the sneaky addition of Delta Jaffa . Yes, they're just a standard Delta choc biscuit with orange cream, but that's not the point. Anything Jaffa is cause for excitement. Good job @arnottsbiscuits ! . I've only seen these in ALDI so far. . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 8

I'm a big fan of the Chobani Flip range and here's a great new "Caramel Sunshine" limited batch. It's vanilla yoghurt with plenty of biscuity / chocolatey / fudgy goodness. There was never going to be anything bad about this grab it while you can... @chobaniau . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 9

Bumped into these in Coles, presumably there are more "food truck" flavours to come... I love chicken satay, but that's a bit of a stretch here. The taste is definitely reminiscent of grilled marinated chicken, but I wouldn't say satay. They were quite edible, though Vegan and vegetarian, too ? @pringlesdownunder @colessupermarkets . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog #pringles 10

I've long been a fan of French Fries, and have seen salt & vinegar and chicken flavours in the past, but was surprised to bump into these in 7-Eleven today. . Open the bag and you can smell pickles, although the overall flavour is closer to tomato sauce. No particular taste overwhelms, and there's impressive restraint shown for a change. Very edible. . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 11

There's a bit of a new KitKat frenzy going on at the moment, although nothing to get too excited about. . The winner of these three is definitely the honeycomb, although eating it just makes me crave a Crunchie. . Double Cookies & Cream suffers from that bland greyness you sometimes get from that flavour. As for Gold Choc Whirl...just stick with the (great) full gold. Not sure what the point of this one is. . #theshelflife #morsels #perth #perthfood #food #foodstagram #foodie #perthisok #pertheats #tasteperth #perthfoodie #perthfoodies #instagood #perthlife #feedmeau #perthfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog 12
