Food Review: Guinness Chips, Coca-Cola Life, McCain Deep & Delicious Carrot Cake
Coca‑Cola Life
Coca Cola Life is our first lower-calorie cola sweetened from natural sources. It contains a third less sugar and a third fewer calories than Coca‑Cola1, and its sweetness comes from a blend of sugar and stevia leaf extract. We’re constantly innovating to create new products – it’s all part of our commitment to provide a wide variety of drinks to suit every lifestyle and occasion. By adding Coca‑Cola Life to our range of colas, we are giving people an extra option that’s lower in sugar and calories, with sweetness from natural sources.

Guinness Chips
When you think of eats for St. Patrick’s Day, it couldn't get more Irish than a cold, creamy pint of Guinness stout and potatoes.
Now Irish food lovers, no longer have to choose between the two thanks to Burts Potato Chips, a British Snack Food company.
Originally released in 2012 as a limited edition pub snack, the beer flavored chips have finally made their way across the pond just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. (And if you're counting, in time for National Potato Chip Day, which was March 14.0
They come in two flavors: original Guinness and Rich Beef Chili—like a classic hearty stew from the old country.
We are able to snag a few bags of the original flavor for a serious taste. Burts is known for super crunchy, kettle-cooked chips and on that front, their Guinness variety does not disappoint.
The chips have an overall dark appearance, as if dusted with cocoa powder, that mirrors the dark frothiness of a traditional draft stout. They also have a malty, sweet smell, with a hint of chocolate, similar to the popular Irish stout. But that's where the similarities between beer and chip come to an end.
As for taste, those of us who weren’t super familiar with the taste of a classic Guinness really enjoyed the subtle smokiness of the chip. They’re not exactly sweet, but there’s definitely a malted-fermented taste in every bite.
True Guinness lovers in our office were a bit disappointed as the overall flavor profile doesn’t scream “beer.”
Yet, with the right crunchiness and adequate salt, even those who didn't love the flavor still thought it was a pretty decent, simply flavored snack.

1 small box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
4 extra large or jumbo eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
2/3 cup orange juice
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 cups fresh carrots, peeled and finely grated
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup finely diced pineapple chunks
1/2 cup raisins, optional
Candied Carrot Peels, for garnish (optional)
Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp pure pineapple extract, optional
1 (16 oz) box (1 pound) powdered sugar, sifted
1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees
In a medium or large bowl, add cake mix, vanilla pudding, and cinnamon; whisk until well combined and set aside.
In a large bowl with hand mixture, add eggs, oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract; mix on medium speed until well incorporated. Then slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well blended. Add and fold in the carrots, walnuts (or pecans), pineapple, and raisins (if using). Pour the cake batter into 2 (9 inch) round greased cake pans, bang the pans on the counter to get rid of the air bubbles about 6-7 times. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown or toothpick in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely on wire racks. Once the cakes are cooled, add one layer onto a cake stand; frost the top with Frosting. Then add the other cake layer, frost the top and the sides; garnish with candied carrot peels (if using). Cut them into slices, serve and enjoy!
For the Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting
In a large bowl with hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, add cream cheese and butter; cream on medium speed until fluffy. Next add the vanilla extract and pineapple extract; mix until well incorporated. Slowly add in the powdered sugar and blend until well combined. Fold in crushed pineapple.
