Recently while trying to buy Miso Paste on the Sainsbury’s app we came across a review saying they should be prosecuted for selling their Miso paste as miso paste 😂 We thought it was so funny and suffice to say we steered well clear! 😂
No I had the same experience with their Gochujang. Like I don't think they've ever seen real Gochujang and just made up what they thought it was instead.
@@Nicolas-qs5dn Of course Nicolas, but if 95% of people like a product and don't leave a review, and the 5% of people that don't like it leaves one, it ends up being misleading.
There’s actually a statistical bias with reviews and surveys because typically people who take the effort to leave a review do so because they have a grievance to air. So they aren’t always an accurate representation of a company.
Old sayings are 'There is no pleasing everyone' and 'One man's meat is another man's Poison'. I've eaten many low-rated supermarket foods before and found them perfectly OK! M&S Scones is a perfect example. If someone is trying to palm them off as homemade - nope, it wouldn't work, eat them at home with the family, with clotted cream and jam and they are delicious. Best rated would be a good one Grace...
I got those Cadbury pudding/cakes from Cost Plus World Market, this past Christmas. I was SO excited to try this special treat and share with my family. I popped that sucker out and looked at it. 🤨 Then I tasted it. Oh no!!! So disappointing! Bland, bland, bland. I was so sad. My family was like, "how bad could it be"? Nope! It was a no for everyone. Just terrible. Such high expectations, dashed. 😭😭😭
After having my baby 2 weeks ago your videos really help me to wind down and relax, it’s weird I feel like I’m just watching a friend, basically I just love your content and hope you know it helps so many people in different ways!!
I think most supermarkets let people leave online product reviews now, so you could definitely make this into a series. As well as highest and lowest rated products you could also pick various categories, e.g. chocolate digestives, and then taste a good (4-5 stars), a bad (1-2 stars) and an average (around 3 stars) one from each category to see if you agree with the ratings. It could also be fun to see if different supermarkets rank the same branded products the same or differently, e.g. those Cadbury puds you tried, and which supermarket's customers give the most accurate reviews.
ok that's weird I've literally JUST uploaded this same concept video but for Sainsbury's. I love reading people's reviews 😂 endless entertainment. Great vid ❤️
Oh ,i have to say it.There are some really bad chocolate puddings out there! The one thing in Ocado`s favour is ,if you don`t like any item(s) on your shop you just contact them and they refund you right away. My mum had a really sweet tooth ,and i always cooked for her.I remember one evening she just said that i looked tired and to grab something from the fridge (a ready meal).I think it was a pasta bake ,and after popping it into the microwave and then dishing it up ,the smell was so over powering and it looked rather like a crunchy gruel.Needless to say i binned it and made something i knew my mum would enjoy. Not everything ready made is bad ,but there are some shockers out there!!.Loving your vlogs @Grackle ,hope you and mini Grackle are continuing to do as well as you look.Xo
I experienced the value of supermarket product reviews recently with Waitrose. I bought the ramen paste in store and there was clearly something wrong with it, it was so bad. Looking at the reviews I wouldn't have bought it if I was shopping online. I do think some products just have quality control issues though so that can explain some really mixed reviews. I tend to not just randomly buy new items any more. I'll do my research.
My trick for hot chocolate is to add a bit of milk to the powder and stir it together to make a smooth paste at the bottom of the cup. Add milk and microwave, stir and voilà!
@@maggiex312 It depends on the hot chococlate powder - some contain literally cocoa powder and sugar (e.g. Green & Blacks hot chocolate powder), and those always require milk. The ones where you just add water are the ones already containing skimmed milk powder so theoretically you're just re-constituting the powdered milk. Milk contains lactase which is a sugar so adding semi-skimmed milk to something that already contains powdered skimmed milk is just adding extra sugar and fat so yeah, normally tastes better even if you make the water ones with milk! Your mum probably used the OG kind!
“Lord Winchbottom” on Ocado writes the funniest reviews. I can’t remember them all, but they struck me as hilarious, and I’m sure they reviewed Ocado brand scones and M&S clotted cream - I was shopping for a Mother’s Day tea. But there’s definitely more from them, and they all give me a giggle. Edit: I found one - it’s for Haywood & Padgett scones: *Too crumbly for this mandem* Like others have pointed out, these scones are very dry, left bare crumbs all over manz crib
Omg I love that pistachio ice cream 😂 and to me and my brother it does taste like pistachio. but the one we get is greener. maybe there are different manufacturers for different countries.
Omg grace try options hot chocolate it is the BEST! heat up some milk, add the powder, mix and then fill the rest with hot water (or you can just do it with only mulk(
Re supermarkets with customer rating:- Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Asda and Morrisons have the ratings and reviews in app, Tescos only have their reviews available online via their website. And please do this again, because I put a lot of stock in one star reviews but do wonder if I should.
I feel shamed. The first item is one of my favourites haha. I haven’t been able to eat them for a while because my baby has CMPA so maybe they’ve changed
Grace if you’re ever in France you have to go to the supermarket intermarché. They have so many pistachio flavoured things- ice cream, desserts, madeleines etc. so so good ❤❤
Is it just me or the quality for this video is non-adjustable? That’s a bummer, I really wanted to look closely at the products being reviewed 😢 Oh nevermind, it’s another bug I guess 😂 anyways yet again you always came up with such a fascinating video ideas! ❤ sending love
If you are looking for a hot chocolate mix without milk powder try the Starbucks hot chocolate mix. I use it as hot choc as well as I baking for coco powder.

People don't mess about on Sainsbury's reviews 😂
That miso paste is a total joke tbf 😂
No I had the same experience with their Gochujang. Like I don't think they've ever seen real Gochujang and just made up what they thought it was instead.
Any kind of prebaked products, like the scones or muffins, for instance, just warming them up works wonders.
I wonder do people only leave reviews if they're not happy? I can safely say I have never thought to leave a review on my groceries! 😂
Definetely 😂
So people can know if something isn't good.......?
@@Nicolas-qs5dn Of course Nicolas, but if 95% of people like a product and don't leave a review, and the 5% of people that don't like it leaves one, it ends up being misleading.

The trick with supermarket scones is to split them and pop them in the toaster for just long enough to warm them before adding butter and jam.

yeahh... who does a hot chocci with water😅
Hilarious, “it’s calorie controlled, all the fun has been taken out!” 😂 We love you Grace! ❤
The instant regret at the pudding 😭

Ur facial expressions when trying some of the products as made my monday 😂😂❤

Interesting! About the magnum tho- isn’t it only meant to be pistachio bits like the almond one? That’s not almond flavoured ice cream either
The greatest hot chocolate in the world is the one you used to get from the school vending machine that stuff was incredible
omg yesss
my school had a dallmayr coffee vending machine and it had the best hot chocolate ive ever had
Grace i love your videos sm you feel like a safe space on the internet to me so THANK YOU!!

hey grace!!! I am so excited for your journey as a mother and I really love your videos about food!
thank you so much for always making us videos
Your face with that Cadbury sponge cake had be CACKLING
If you want good pistachio flavoured things in London - try double pistachio icecream from Bilmonte & try the pistachio latte from Signorelli!
Highly enjoyed this taster video. The thumbnail for it is absolute gold as well. 😜
Ahh i really loved this video🥰🥰
Have a great week💛
When Grace held the magnum against the white shirt, I foresaw the future immediately. Now off I go to buy me some lottery tickets. 🎫
Regular Ocado shopper, I love the M&S scones, they are a staple in our home.
M&S scones are the best!!
I love reading supermarket food reviews😅
ok that's weird I've literally JUST uploaded this same concept video but for Sainsbury's. I love reading people's reviews 😂 endless entertainment. Great vid ❤️
i actually love the cadbury caramel cookies so much
You're gonna be such a good mama ❤
Those school hot chocolates from vending machines were THE BEST
So funny and interesting! Keep doing different supermarkets - very enjoyable ! So surprised by the the fudge sponge pudding! How, just how??? 😧😅
Grace had a factory reset at 5:02.
🤣🤣🤣
✨ toot flipping toot ✨
The reaction to the pudding had me lolling 😭
8:11 NOOO NOT HOT WATER!! I always use hot milk for hot chocolates makes it so so so creamy and delicious!
Instant is designed to be made with water though. I still always add a small splash of milk though lol.
Loved this video! Would like to see more and also the best rated :)

the reviews are so passionate
Nooo the caramel cookies are sooooooo good!! I love the texture haha

tesco and Sainsbury's online both have reviews, you could look at those for a future video
Omg Grace you would LOVE South African grocery stores
The quicker food goes off the better as there’ll be less preservatives
Grace try the pistachio chocolates from hotel chocolate 😍😍
Best rated products would be interesting, please do that
I chuck the scones in the toaster for a bit to warm them up.
I love that you're reading the comments with them. I've seen some reviewers just say it's the lowest rated and we never know why
Always so happy when I see a new video! 🥰❤️
My trick for hot chocolate is to add a bit of milk to the powder and stir it together to make a smooth paste at the bottom of the cup. Add milk and microwave, stir and voilà!
she literally said she uses milk and using water felt wrong 😭
This is how I grew up with it; my mum did it that way so when people use just water I’m baffled as it does nothing
@@maggiex312 It depends on the hot chococlate powder - some contain literally cocoa powder and sugar (e.g. Green & Blacks hot chocolate powder), and those always require milk.

@@freyagamlen4344ah I see…thanks for the info. I didn’t know.
This is what I do too! Make a paste and then add the water - brilliant

You have to add supermarket scones in the oven for 10 mins, when they come out, they taste like freshly baked scones😋
Grace I am having an afternoon tea party for part of my hen do weekend and I really need a ‘best supermarket scone taste test’ rating video 🙏🏽
Basically all American grocery store food is highly processed garbage. 🤦♀️
You never read out some of my Ocado reviews 😂 to be fair to Ocado you should do a follow up, taste testing their highest rated products
If you’re looking for an idea, please could you try new supermarket products
Agree great idea 💡
toot frickin toot 🤣🤣
The M&S cheese scones are DEVINE!! I toast it nicly and then spread butter and let it all melt in... De-lish
Omg I love that pistachio ice cream 😂 and to me and my brother it does taste like pistachio. but the one we get is greener. maybe there are different manufacturers for different countries.
Love your vlogs Grace , so fun ❤️❤️❤️
Gracks, i need you to test and review supermarket birthday cakes because they’re so rubbish now it’s so difficult to find a good one 😭
please do more of these!!! best and worst rated from all shops
You have to heat up the scone in foil and they will taste fresher.
Ocado reaches for the delete button on its rating system......
We need more of these!❤
HA! My ad break came up with Acado!!!! 😂
and all the Italian nonne churn in their grave at the sight of that "carbonara"
Omg grace try options hot chocolate it is the BEST! heat up some milk, add the powder, mix and then fill the rest with hot water (or you can just do it with only mulk(
you should try making historical recipes of stuff for a video
agreed, hot chocolate should only be made with milk
Other supermarkets do reviews also would love to see more!
Loved this Grace 😊
Re supermarkets with customer rating:-
Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Asda and Morrisons have the ratings and reviews in app, Tescos only have their reviews available online via their website.
And please do this again, because I put a lot of stock in one star reviews but do wonder if I should.
Reviewbrah has a sister?
Love the comment the hot chocolate looks like pond water!❤
I’d like to see the best rated products at Harods for food within whatever your budget is.
All of your vlogs are so good Grace.
i love these videos!
Nectarines don’t ripen after they are picked. They soften, but they won’t be juicy or sweet.
You should do a blind taste test for best/worst rated product to see if you can tell the difference!
You should attempt to make the Dubai pistachio chocolate
I used to get the blue hot chocolate sachets, and they were lovely. They stopped doing them so i got that hot chocolate and its was beyond awful.
I have to say that you and baby are so cute 😄 love love love it
Confirms that we aren't sheep and don't need to follow the crowd check things out for yourself well done Grace
Twinnings Swiss hot chocolate is the best
Omg your websites say Add To Trolley instead of Add To Cart, that is so cute! 😭
That nectarine sounded like it broke a tooth😂
Fun video but your facial expressions were wonderful! Don't hold back, kiddo: show us how you feel! 😅
Watching this while doing my Ocado shop 😅
Thank you much love xx
I feel shamed. The first item is one of my favourites haha. I haven’t been able to eat them for a while because my baby has CMPA so maybe they’ve changed
Grace if you’re ever in France you have to go to the supermarket intermarché. They have so many pistachio flavoured things- ice cream, desserts, madeleines etc. so so good ❤❤
Is it just me or the quality for this video is non-adjustable? That’s a bummer, I really wanted to look closely at the products being reviewed 😢
Oh nevermind, it’s another bug I guess 😂 anyways yet again you always came up with such a fascinating video ideas! ❤ sending love
lol yes to the microwave dance 😂 I try and do the dishwasher before it beeps 😂
❤
Hi Grackle, you should review new parent meal delivery services.
Yeah I don’t think hot chocolate powder will ever be good 😭😭
Best rated x
Nescafe double choc Mocha sachet is the best hot chocolate drink. You can't tell there's any coffee in it, it just tastes like chocolate. 😊
I’ve had those dry ass cookies there horrible
Horses for courses really isn't it?!
Congrats on impending motherhood.....
I don't like my fruit soft. I like it hard. ❤
If you want diet, low fat food then you don't select carbonara FFS!
If you are looking for a hot chocolate mix without milk powder try the Starbucks hot chocolate mix. I use it as hot choc as well as I baking for coco powder.
God I wish I could be better on TikTok 😅if I was a creator on there I would be less addictive
grack pls adopt me xoxo
