Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Dill Pickle

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Dill Pickle

You might think this isn’t bad if you’re just tasting it as a sample, but the more you eat the worse it gets. Besides the sweetness of French Ice Cream, it really does taste like a Dill Pickle; the ingredients list includes vinegar; and that’s the problem. Pickles aren’t even good on their own. Why would I want one ruining my Ice Cream?

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Kraft Mac And Cheese

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Kraft Mac And Cheese

At first spoonful, this treat, made with real Kraft Cheese “sauce mix”, is better than expected. That’s because, while it does taste like “the comforting bowl of Kraft Mac And Cheese you grew up with”, the flavor is more (sweet) Ice Cream than (savory) Macaroni. It doesn’t take long though for the novelty to wear thin and you’d rather just be eating regular Ice Cream.

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Kettle Corn

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Kettle Corn

This circus-themed Ice Cream; a Limited Edition from Van Leeuwen; doesn’t taste like Kettle Corn to me. It’s certainly sweet, but the flavor is more akin to caramel, though there’s none included on the ingredients list. There are, however, “pieces of honeycomb”, which adds to the fun.

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

This Limited Edition (December) cereal is based not just on Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, the popular Christmas character, but the stop-motion TV special from 1964 specifically. That’s him on the box. The main flavor is hot cocoa, which makes the addition of yummy marshmallows all the more appropriate.

my rating : 4 of 5

Big Game Energy : Cotton Candy

Big Game Energy : Cotton Candy

The flavor of this Energy drink; a product of Bucked Up; is more akin to Lucky Charms marshmallows than Cotton Candy. That’s a sweet thing as it makes for a delight for the taste buds. The scent brings to mind fresh-baked birthday cake; another sweet kids treat that has little to do with hunting Game.

my rating : 3 of 5

Cap’n Crunch’s Halloween Crunch

Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch

This Limited Edition (October) cereal is basically plain Cap’n Crunch with “ghosts”. The fact that they “turn milk green” might be fun for kids, but it’s otherwise nothing more than a quirky party trick. The flavor is akin to Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries, though the regular version tastes better than both.

my rating : 4 of 5

Big Game Energy : Sour Gummy

Big Game Energy : Sour Gummy

This Energy drink really does taste like Sour Gummy candy. There even seems to be malic/tartaric acid crystals left over when you get to the bottom of the can. It’s much more sweet than sour though; there is “zero sugar”, but it does contain sucralose as a substitute; so the (applelike) flavor is better than the name suggests.

my rating : 3 of 5

Banquet Chicken Pot Pie

Banquet Chicken Pot Pie

The best part of this Chicken Pot Pie is the “flaky crust”, which Banquet promotes as being “made from scratch”. Microwave or conventional oven, you’ll never get it to look as good as the picture on the box, which omits the top slit and cooking container, but it makes; rather two or three make; for a hearty homestyle meal.

Kraft Mac And Cheese : Original Flavor

Kraft Mac And Cheese : Original Flavor

This Kraft Original is, as far as my childhood is concerned, the quintessential Mac And Cheese. The cooking instructions say to add margarine or butter; an optional tip that makes it even tastier than it already is; but you can ignore the milk bit as it’s better less creamy. Eat with bacon or sausage for the full effect.

Little Debbie Chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes Ice Cream

Little Debbie Chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes Ice Cream

This Chocolate version is an alternative to Little Debbie’s plain Christmas Tree Cakes Ice Cream. I prefer the latter, but they both serve as tasty treats. The Chocolate here tastes like fudge or hot cocoa, which makes for an especially yummy experience when you melt it down to a goo.
