I like cheese on pizza and such, but I’ve never understood the allure of eating it by itself. These Organic Valley Stringles; glorified mozzarella sticks; are no exception. The ingredients list is impressively simple; skim milk, salt and enzyme; but the taste leaves a lot to be desired.

Grapefruit may be healthy, but it doesn’t taste good. The flavor, while sweet, is also offputtingly sour. The saving grace with these Dole fruit cups is that, like the Mandarin Oranges version, the bits are presented in white grape juice, which helps dilute the bitterness. That makes them a decently refreshing alternative when served cold from the fridge.

These Doritos would be regular triangle-shaped tortilla chips if not for the special sauce. Actually it’s more like a Nacho Cheese (cheddar/Romano) flavored powder each chip is coated in. That’s what makes them so tasty.

Funyuns are a snack conceptually based on onions; you’re supposed to have “Fun” eating them; but they’re not as bad as that sounds. They actually taste quite good partly because, aside from onion powder, they aren’t actually made with real onions. They’re “onion flavored rings” for whatever that’s worth.

This Ice Cream, which includes swirls of blue frosting and “confetti” candy sprinkles, really does taste, and sort of looks, like Birthday Cake. The concept is appropriate considering the two desserts are traditionally eaten together. The flavor also, for what it’s worth, reminds me of Lucky Charms marshmallows.

These Wild Sticks would be good if they weren’t Hot. It doesn’t hit you until after a few seconds of eating and they’re damn tasty until then, but jeez. Why anyone would want to experience pain, albeit to a relatively mild degree, at any time, let alone while eating, is beyond me.

I don’t really get the Drive Thru bit, but it’s probably a nod to White Castle and the like. These “microwavable sandwiches” aren’t as good as a fresh batch of Sliders from a fast-food restaurant, but they are tasty in their own right. They’re also mighty cute, thanks to their little soft round buns.
