Reviews

 This blog post will be about reviews. I will be doing 2 food reviews.


1. McDonald's

The McDonald's is the same in India as the United States. The differences are that the fries are fried in different oil and they don't have hamburgers. They do have happy meals. But the chicken sandwich happy meal does not come with fries. Instead I ordered a 6pc chicken nugget with small fries. They do have lots of the same soda like the United States. They do have 7up. 7up is very similar to sprite. I had Fanta. They also have ice cream, but I didn't get one because my body had to get used to India first. There were lots of Indian flavored food. I might try them one day. Here is a picture of the Indian food menu. 


Here is a picture of my meal.



2. Thums up
Thums up is practically Indian coke. It tastes like cola but it is a little bit spicy. It smells like ginger beer. There is cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg in thumbs up. This is the history of Thums up. In the 70s coke and Pepsi left India because they didn't want to reveal their secret formula. Later the coca cola company bought the Thums up company. They competed with the Pepsi company. The Pepsi company was kicked out of  India but there is still a little bit of coke and Pepsi. Thums up is the most popular cola in India.
Fact about Thums up: They removed the B from Thums up to make the name more unique.


That was the end of my blog post! I hope you liked it! Read my next blog post for more reviews!

Elsa drool challenge

Image
I decided to write this blog post because my dog Elsa, always drools at food. Like this..... I am experimented with different foods to see which food would make Elsa drool more. The foods that I used were, dog chicken, Meat up treats, yogurt, and dog food. First was dog food. Elsa drooled a lot for this one! I was surprised for this one because Elsa has dog food every day, just plain dog food. If there was a scale from one to ten, with one being no drool, and ten being lots of drool, I think this one was 8 out of 10. Next is yogurt. Elsa only drooled a little bit for this one, and yogurt is one of her favorite foods! ( She has a lot of favorite foods.) Elsa got a yogurt beard ! She looked funny in the picture. This one was a four out of ten. Now dog chicken  I was SUPER surprised when Elsa didn’t drool a lot for this one. She LOVES dog chicken . There was a small puddle of drool on the bottom of her crate. She would of drooled a lot if it was chicken broth. I think this was a three...

Mauritius

 Hi! I went on a trip! I went to an island called Mauritius! Have you been there? It is an island next to Africa. It has beef! Let’s get started! From India, Mauritius is about 6 hours from Bangalore. I landed at about 11am, and the view from the landing was amazing! There is lots of palm trees and mountains. I stayed at the dinorobin beachcomber hotel. It had a amazing beach, with a cool view of Le Mourne ( a mountain ) . Breakfast kitty In Mauritius most people speak Mauritian Creole or French. I forgot to mention, but the supermarkets in Mauritius, are huge! There is lots of CANDY! There is not many chips though. I was happy when I saw the beef and cheese! There is not that much good cheese in India. Anyways I did lots of fun stuff!  I went to a ropes course/ hiking pace in the mountains. It was raining when I went, so I got a bit nervous that it would be closed. I went on two zip lines! They were pretty long, and fun! I also did fishing for the first time! I caught lots o...

Nickel candy!?

Image
Nickel candy? Or Chips!? Do you remember nickel and dime candy? I really wish it could still exist. Would you think it would be true if I said, it still exists? Well here is your answer… It does! When I went to the little local shop, Lulu’s, I found a ton of candies, chips, chocolate, etc, for only 5-10 rupees! 5 rupees is 6 cents  (USD) and 10 rupees is 12 cents (USD). Before I talk about what I bought, I will share a little bit of info about a very popular nickel candy.  Juicy fruit gum In l1893 Wrigley introduced Juicy fruit gum. In the early to mid 1900’s Juicy fruit gum  only cost a nickel for 5 sticks of gum. Starting at around 1960 it started to cost a  quarter for 5 sticks. Juicy fruit gum was the most popular in the 1940’s and the 1950’s. Let's start! 1. Chocolate  There is a popular chocolate in India called Dairy Milk, which is a cheap chocolate with prices from just 5 Rupees to 100 Rupees. It is a small chocolate that is like any other cheap chocolat...
