The Budget Reviews Radio Show!: Recent Episodes
Aaron Tom
In this podcast, I take a look at private label and "budget" items from places like Aldi, Dollar Tree and more, and share our opinions with all, to help weed out the quality stuff, from the junk. I'm frequently joined by my beautiful wife, who provides a sophisticated female perspective to my simple man observations.

In this episode, we sit down with the KIMURA RAMUNE marble drink! It is a Japanese soft drink that gets its name from a marble contained inside. It comes with an opener which you use to push a clear marble down into the drink! The marble hits the glass bottle and you can see the carbonated bubbles. Come along as we try original and strawberry flavors!
Host Aaron Tom is joined by his captivating wife to take on a challenge that seems simple. A package that contains one tortilla chip. The one single chip, however, is made with Carolina Reaper and Scorpion Peppers. The warnings and the coffin shaped packaging were not only for show. Listen for yourself and hear how real the stomach churning pain is that this one tortilla chip caused.
The initial written write-ups of these premium ice cream pints, available at Aldi, (and as featured on my blog The Budget Reviews) received the most backlash out of any of my articles, as swarms of adoring fans came to the defense of the frozen treats. I was not a big fan of them when I first tried them five years ago...so has anything changed since then? Find out as I sit down with my beautiful wife - who, for the record, was one of many who ridiculed me for my original opinion - for a live tasting of these pints.
Are they worth the price? And how do they compare to the national brand? Join us and find out, won't you?
