Reggae Jammin' Chicken Burger

Design and Appearance - 4/5

The package is attractive and uses colours that are synonymous with reggae, giving it an 'irie' edge.

Nutritional Factor - 4/5

The chicken burger is a good source of protein and the fat content is 14 per cent of that which is normally required for a given day. It has a good fat-to-protein ratio needed in a complete meal. If complemented properly, it can serve as a main meal depending on a person's activities and diet practices.

Taste - 2.5/5

The taste is mediocre, satisfying at most. It could be improved in terms of flavour and texture. There is nothing distinctive about it that would set it apart from similar products on the market.

Convenience Factor - 3/5

The burgers are convenient enough to have at home and be prepared at any time of the day. The quick, 10-minute cooking time works to its advantage.

Who It Is Best For

Older teens to adults will like this due to the time it takes to prepare and the way in which it is prepared. Parents will also favour it when they do not have enough time before or after work to season and cook meats or adequate source of proteins for their kids.

Final Take

The burger is chewy, especially when cold, so is best eaten immediately following preparation or warmed prior to consumption. The flavour could also be improved to give it a signature taste. The cooking instruction was adequate, but a bit more cooking oil than suggested is needed for pan-fry cooking. The useful meal displays or 'Best-Served-With' suggestions provided useful preparation options.

Grace Tropical Rhythm Mango Carrot

Design and Appearance - 4/5

Very good design; the pictures are colourful, attractive and give a clear idea of what is supposed to be in the can. The blue-green-orange contrast makes it eye-catching, so persons will be drawn to it on the shelves.

Nutritional Factor - 3/5

The drink has a high sugar content and provides simple carbohydrates which give the energy required for daily activities. It's also rich in vitamin C, which is essential for creating collagen in the body. This keeps the skin and joints supple. Additionally, it acts as an immune booster which helps to fight against common illnesses such as colds. Finally, the vitamin A keeps the eyes and skin conditioned and moist.

Taste - 3/5

It's a drink, not juice, meaning that it is lighter and has more of a refreshing taste than the other Grace Tropical Rhythm products that come in the glass bottle. It is best when served cold, but either way the main ingredients aren't easily discernable.

Convenience Factor - 4/5

Grace Tropical Rhythm Mango Carrot is convenient because it's packaged in a can. This makes it easily carried around without fear of spillage because it remains secure unless the seal is disturbed.

Who It Is Best For

This drink is good for anyone at any time of the day, especially considering the combined nutritional benefits and the good taste.

Final Take

A refreshing drink that's a good source of vitamins A and C.
