First Impressions
(This is just a quick review and first impression)
As I glided through an ebay sellers shop I came across these in the auction section going for £1 approximately. Without giving it much thought I bid on them and won.
Listed as BBQ Meat pullers or shredders this pair of plastic claws promised to make light work of any large chunk of protein.

I hadn't heard of these Bear Claw meat shredders before so I was curious about what I would actually recieve.
Judging by the listing photos these things looked quite sharp and aggressive. The individual claws looked like they measured about 2-3 inches in length.
One wonders if these claws were made with self defence in mind as well as the meat shredding?

After a few weeks of waiting they finally arrived from Kowloon. Packaging wasn't such a big deal with this order. No real special care was needed as these claws are virtually indestructible as it turns out.
Inside the plastic bag were the two bear claws, made from an ABS tough plastic and black in appearance. The five claws on each handle were indeed very sharp and I did manage to stab myself a few times completely by accident!

In terms of durability these claws would take a fair bit of force before they might buckle and snap. They feel really firm and tough.
Gripping the claw handles is quite comfortable. The actual hole where the hand is placed is large enough to accommodate the biggest of hands making these a '1 claw fits all' item.

One nice feature of these claws is their weight. At 50g each they weigh hardly anything. Surprisingly light and yet incredibly strong.

Testing
At this point in time I don't have a hog roast or side of Beef to test these claws on which is a shame. Confidence is high though.
I don't doubt that these will do the job and do it well.

Going back to the previous mention of them possibly being self defence claws.... it wouldn't surprise me! if we can have tactical pens and tactical spike rings then why not tactical BBQ claws?
Thankfully I don't think that these claws are illegal to carry! lol

In conclusion I'm quite impressed with these items.  A novelty perhaps but definitely practical.
These Bear claws could make a good gift idea for someone who do a lot of cooking.  They would certainly be a talking point.

Rating: ✅✅✅✅✅ 5 out of 5
A straight 5 score for these unusual kitchen implements. They are strong and light and unlikely to break under normal circumstances.

Wether it's shredding a particulally large piece of Pork or shredding up an assailant you really can't go wrong for a quid!

Honey Monster Choco Puffs Review

Vendor: Poundland
Price: £1
Description: Chocolate coated Honey puffed rice

What the hell happened to Sugar Puffs? I bought this enticing little number from my friendly neighbourhood Poundland recently.
Quality was to be expected with such a destinguised brand as Quaker. And this seemed a bargain for only one £1..... Wrong!

Nestle Swiss Chocolat Brut

A Bag full of Heaven! 

"A blessing from the gods of Chocolate" is one way to describe these tasty little Morsels which waffted my way last week.  Not that I have ever seen these on sale anywhere before? It all very strange.

Curiously I bagged these at the local Quality Save, famed for their low prices and sometimes obscure or imported items. Perhaps this is one of those?

Price: £3.50 instead of £7.50 RRP.
Vendor: Quality Save
Description: 500g bag of mixed chocolate chunks (individually wrapped)  Milk, Plain and Hazelnut.

From the moment you lift this bag from the shelf in the store you know you have some serious chocolates on your hands. Not just by the sheer weight of he bag, but the quality look to the item.
The Bag has a locking style system for resealability which is handy as you are not likely to get through all these in one sitting!.
All three flavours are nice. Hazelnut being  my personal favourite. The Milk and Plain varieties are smooth, rich and velvety whilst the Hazelnut offering throws in a gorgeous subtle hint.

Overall then not at all bad for three and a half quid. I couldn't see me paying top dollar for these though as I'm not obsessed by Chocolate. I'd say that the price I paid for them was very good and more realistic than they're RRP. Judging from the size and design of the packaging you would have to say they are for "sharing". This advice is not mandatory however and as of this moment Im managing to ransack the bag perfectly well on my own thank you.

Aldi Butterkeks Biscuits

Loving these Keks!

Price: 80p?

Vendor: Aldi

Description: 'ButterKeks' biscuits (half chocolate)

If you are from the Northwest of England you will know the words 'Keks' means something totally different! Trouser aside, these are truly lovely Biscuits. I almost walked past these at the time and Im glad I stopped. These are delicious and exactly how I remember them from years ago. The biscuit itself is well baked and has a nice crunch whilst the chocolate half covering is thick and not too sweet. 
German in origin, Butterkeks literally means 'Butter Cakes' it seems the original creators misheard the word apparently and the name stuck.
They were first made over 100 hundred years ago by German bakers Bahlsen and called Leibniz-Keks.

Whilst on the subject of Butterkeks I have to mention IKEA and their 'Kex' brand. Not only do they have a 'trendy' sounding name but they are letter shaped so you can spell IKEA whilst having your tea.These are also tasty.
