Great Value: BBQ Flavored Potato Chips
Great Value: BBQ Flavored Potato Chips are not that great. They certainly are not as flavorful or enjoyable as the ripple cut potato chips. By that, I mean the salt flavor offered by the ripple cut potato chips is stronger than the barbecue flavor offered by these BBQ potato …
Breyers Brownie Mud Pie Overload!
Breyers Brownie Mud Pie Overload! didn’t taste quite as good as I thought it would when I picked up the the one-point five quart for two dollars and fifty cents. It was on sale at the time and regular price was about three dollars and thirty cents. I’m glad …

Farley’s Strawberry Fruit Snacks
With an overwhelming sweet tooth threatening to overcome my diet’s restrictions, I made a beeline for the nearest vending machine, hoping for some kind of fruity low-guilt candy. The closest thing was a 2.5 oz bag of Farley brand strawberry fruit snacks, which would conveniently also provide 100% …

Nature Valley Oats ‘N Honey Crunchy Granola Bar
Energy and protein bars often taste like crap. Many of them, just have a healthy taste to them, and it’s annoying. Nature Valley Oats —˜N Honey bars are the exact opposite of that. They’re both extremely good for you, and they taste good as well. I personally find them …
Aunt Jemima Ham & Egg Scramble
