Why even bother calling this Strawberry Cheesecake? It’s a bad idea as far as marketing and promotion goes because it tastes nothing like it and will inevitably irk those of us anticipating the flavor.
What does it taste like? Well, it’s hard to say; certainly not cheesecake or even strawberries. It’s mildly sweet though and pleasant enough to eat as a healthy alternative to sugar yogurt.

The box describes this cereal as having a “unique light and crispy texture”, but it’s basically Granola with rice cake crumbs. What is unusual are the dried apple pieces. Actual fruit, along with the addition of Cinnamon, lends credence to the “natural flavors” bit in the promo. Is it “delicious”? No, but it makes for a decent breakfast or dry snack.

This cereal; a Laura Lynn product distributed by Ingles Markets; is a blatant ripoff of Lucky Charms. If the similarity of the frosted oats and marshmallows weren’t obvious enough, the mascot is a Magician dressed like a leprechaun.
It tastes better though. What put me off Lucky Charms is when they started skimping on the marshmallows. These seem to have enough. Even if they didn’t, the oat pieces, all of which are shaped like stars, taste better than theirs.

This; a rare example of a popular fast-food Fish Sandwich available any time of year; is “topped with iceberg lettuce and tartar sauce for”, as Checkers describes it, “a boatload of flavor”.
That last bit is clever hyperbole; I wish it came with more sauce than it does and usually add my own mayo to compensate; but it’s a damn good alternative to a typical hamburger.

These Cookies, each of which is embedded with a vague kid-friendly word or phrase like “Kind is cool”, smell like Fig Newtons and don’t taste much better. That’s partly because the Goods bit has to do with health; they’re promoted as “junk-free”; which intrinsically dampers good taste.
