That’s It Blueberry Fruit Bar

That's It Blueberry Fruit Bar

That’s Shit is more like it. Not to say this Fruit Bar isn’t edible, but the flavor is more like something that came out of someone’s rear end than anything delicious. There are “just three ingredients”; Blueberries, dates and active cultures; which is impressively healthy, but there’s a reason other snack products add more. A cookie coating à la Fig Newtons could really help with the taste.

audio review : Strawberriez N Cream ( song ) … MC Eiht ( featuring High T )

The title should be spelled right; Strawberries And Cream; and the High T verse should come after both of MC Eiht’s. Those are the only two major flaws on this otherwise palatable song. The best part is the beat; a jazzy groove with a delicious bassline; which isn’t fully appreciated till Bam and Chill start talking (drugs) over it near the end.

video review : Unfrosted

video review : Unfrosted

“The magic of cereal is that you’re eating and drinking at the same time with one hand,” a Kellogg’s employee proclaims. It’s one of the rare occasions in which the constant barrage of food jokes actually work. Most simply aren’t funny, especially during the imbecilic first half, which leaves one wondering why what might’ve worked as a short comedy skit; about the invention of Pop Tarts; is being served as a full-length movie.

Natura Plantain Chips

Natura Plantain Chips

“Plantains are high in fiber and resistant starch,” the bag reads, “which makes them a great crispy alternative to potato chips.” They also taste about as good, which is telling considering the fact that there are only two other ingredients; sunflower oil and salt. You may also be surprised to realize they’re not at all sweet but rather savory.

Skittles Cotton Candy

Skittles Cotton Candy

It’s a fun concept, but this tastes like neither Skittles; my favorite candy; nor regular Cotton Candy. It’s more of the latter than the former, at least initially before the chemical aftertaste settles in, but either way it’s a blatant fraud. It also smells like something you shouldn’t be eating.

Angie’s Boom Chicka Pop Popcorn : White Cheddar

Angie's Boom Chicka Pop Popcorn : White Cheddar

Angie (Bastian) says on the bag that this Popcorn “is made with real, simple ingredients”; “you know, ingredients you don’t have to scrunch up your face to say”. The list is indeed impressively modest, which wouldn’t mean much if it didn’t make for a “flavorful snack”. The taste holds up though, thanks mostly to the powdery White Cheddar coating.

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll

This French Ice Cream, a Van Leeuwen “limited edition” for the fall (“autumn”) season, would’ve been better as just Cinnamon Roll. The Pumpkin bit, while far from overwhelming, does its flavor no favors. Still it tastes good enough to eat and enjoy as you prepare for the cold of winter.
