Pepperidge Farm Newport Cookies

These are essentially a larger version of a chewy chips ahoy. Classier, though. Tasty for sure, but not particularly "fresh baked" feeling, you know? I like the crunchy salt bits in there too. These were scary at first, due to their nature. But it's Pepperidge Farm and I trust them. I ate the whole bag in a very short time!

Hershey's milk chocolate eggs

More nut free discounted easter candy for me! Thanks Acme and Hershey's. Alas, though these are fine, they are inferior to a normal Hershey's Kiss for the following reasons: a serving of these is only 5 and not 7; the foil is harder to take off without eating some of it; the shape of the choco is less dainty to eat. Otherwise it's normal Hershey Chocolate, which is, yanno, what it is. Still a nice sweet snack though!

Swanson White Chunk Chicken - Original

Chicken in a pouch?! I'm allergic to tuna, and I'm allergic to most canned meat in soups etc (due to soy), so I never ever considered that pouch chicken was an option. But the ingredients here are just chicken and water, no soy or bean juice. I was still scared, but it was fine. Well, the texture and smell is kinda gross -- gloopy like cat food. But it tastes like chicken, albeit wet, salty chicken. It's good to have a shelf-stable protein option though.

homefree ginger snaps

Well well well, we meet again, surprisingly decent top-8-free cookie company! My place of work always has these as the "allergy friendly" option, and I've started taking them because I want to get my money's worth! Also, they're surprisingly decent. This variety was a little dry/crumbly/boring for my taste, but pleasant enough. Has that ginger spiciness, which is the best and most important thing in a ginger snap. Would take again.

Oreo Space Dunk

Whew, these are quite the sensory overload! They have Popping Candy in, but the poppers are so small that I can't even localize them, which is disconcerting. Maybe in the blue creme? There's also pink cream, which tastes a lot like cake frosting (not my fav taste). The oreo cookies are the usual tasty cookies, but the popping candy part is a weird flavor -- kind of artificial? Plastic-y? No big surprise there from the looks of these! They're wild and safe and visually interesting, but turns out I don't particularly want really long-lasting pop rocks in my cookies.

norr organic strawberry & rhubarb skyr

I waited to try this until I wasn't alone, because it occurs to me I don't know if I've ever had rhubarb as an (allergy-having) adult. But it seems to have gone OK, at least in the short term! This was pleasant and sweet, but it basically just tasted like a normal strawberry banana yogurt or something. The aftertaste was a little tart, though! Glad to add this to my rota of possible skyrs, especially at a nonfat 90 calos.

Trix Loaded Cereal

 

These loaded cereals look so fun, but I've come to realise they don't scratch the cereal itch for me. They're just so soft and large! Anyhow, these are the colors of the bisexual flag, and the taste of one too. Just kidding, they taste like the other pillowy loaded cereals, but with a small element of fruity trix flavor. The fruitiness does make it less itchy and scary for me somehow, but it's still not an ideal cereal texture. Or, really, taste. I dunno.
