Doritos dip - Cool Ranch JalepeƱo

Doritos.....dip? I mean, yikes was my first reaction. And a cool ranch dip? Sounds horrible. But I'm into trying all the new (nut free) foods I can, so I gave it a shot. I was very pleasantly surprised! It doesn't taste like doritos or ranch at all, which is a massive relief. Instead it tastes like a mix of tostitos queso dip (which is good) and helluva good sour cream type dip (which is also good). It's spicy, cheesy, and not too ranchy. I put it on a bagel because I didn't have any chips, and it was solid, but I think tortilla chips or plain chips or pretzels would all go well. Solid stuff!

Wholly Guacamole - Spicy

Ah, this is not as good as the one with corn in it, and it also is way too much to eat in one serving, but they didn't have the little ones at the store! As far as this flavor goes, it was indeed spicy, and far too smooth and salty for my liking. But it's better than the plain one because at least there's spice. It's no Chipotle guac though!

Cost: 4/10 [over 6$!]

Nancy's Organic Probiotic Cream Cheese

Is most cream cheese probiotic? I actually have no idea, but this tasted a lot more sour & "yogurt-y" than I was expecting when I smeared it on my bagel, so maybe it's a special thing. I like that if so, because yogurt is good for your GUT BIOME and I'm all about that. Overall it tasted fine, was pretty thick and slightly wet and sour, but no ill effects and it comes in 8 easily gloopable servings. So, I'm down for a re-buy.

Tostitos Chunky Salsa - Mild

Indeed, here is a perfectly adequate food. I don't think this is very different from the "medium" heat version (or probably the hot version if we're being honest), or very different from other brands of jarred salsa like ChiChis or Pace. It's really generic and reminds me of my childhood because my parents did jarred salsa + tortilla chips a lot. To be honest, I don't really like it as a snack -- corn chips were never my favorite. But in the quarantine times, snacks are elevated to better than they used to be! So I was happy to have 2 Tbsp of this salsa to go along with 13 Scoops Tortilla Chips. It was actually a perfect portion and it seemed like a fun allergy-free snack. No complaints, but it's no resto-salsa or jar-queso.

Wholly Guacamole - Roasted Corn over Guacamole Layered Dip

This is pretty good! Sometimes you just don't want to deal with the stress (and expense) of buying the right avocado for urgent guac needs. And a lot of premade guac (even from this very company) is old looking, mushy, or gross. Luckily, I love corn and this bad boy is at least half corn (the top half), and so you can't even see how dark and watery the underguac is! Mostly. Anyway, it has a nice fresh corn taste, a little spicy but certainly not "medium" (less than this). I only really enjoy this with chips, though - otherwise the flavor is too strong and it's also too watery and maybe a bit sweet. But it's a solid dip, healthy enough, and lasts a few days longer than homemade guac.

Cost: 5/10 (about 4$)
