Mott's Applesauce

Unlike the no-sugar-added Mott's applesauce, this one... tastes good. Sure, it might be that there's sugar added. But maybe it's because I'm not using it to hide pills in. Hard to say, really. It tastes like plain applesauce. Not very exciting, but not sour at all, and a nice treat for when you have a mysterious stomach ailment. Also very cheap for an 18 pack.

Mott's Hot Apple Cider K-Cups

Mmm, delicious packaged foods. This feels like it should be forbidden, but there's no caffeine or artificial sweeteners or citrus, so I guess... it's not! I needed a break from morning cranberry juice, so I got these instead, which are much sweeter and less bitter. I was worried because I once had a little kool-aid packet of Mott's Apple Cider and I think it was terrible. But either this k-cup is much better or I am much more desperate for Hot Drink (possibly both). It is cinnamony, appley, and pleasant. Thanks, Motts!

Mott's Fruit Flavored Snacks - Berry

As a fan of the original flavor ("assorted fruit") I looked forward to this fun new experience of berry flavor. But much like with taco bell taco shells, I perceived no flavor difference between berry and assorted fruit! I would think something (else) is wrong with me, except that the ingredients are essentially the same for both flavors, so it's all down to branding and style. 

These are indeed different berry-adjacent shapes and colors, including cherry (arguably, not a berry) and pink (arguably, not the color of a berry). So, I like these a lot, but not in a fun new way, just in a familiar old way. Good texture, pleasant sweet taste. The highlight is that the wrappers now have Spanish/English translations of various Noun-Adjective pairs, mostly animals (gato blanco) and items in the natural world (shiny star). The Spanish includes articles, which makes sense because of Spanish, but the English doesn't, which doesn't make sense from a translation perspective and is why I could never aspire to design Mott's fruit snacks wrappers!

Mott's Apple Orchard Fruit Snacks

Wuh oh. I don't know if these were stored next to some soap or if they just taste like that. I think they just taste like that. Very apple-juice flavored, but also I use Apple Mango Tango Gain and they taste like that (smells) too. The texture is good as always and they are cute, but I prefer the OG Motts. Better once you have a few though!

Mott's No Sugar Added Applesauce (Apple)

You might think it's weird to specify that this is apple flavored applesauce, but they also make other flavors like strawberry and possibly grape. I spent much time in the sauce aisle looking for pill assistance, and I must say that as apPILLsauce this was disgusting. Hard to rate honestly after that experience. But I'm done taking those pills now and am trying to be a honest applesauce rater. This is noticeably less sweet than other applesauces, which is good. But it could use some cinnamon or seasoning in its place. It's quite tart. All right but I don't love it.

Mott's Fruit Flavored Snacks

I had a dangerous addiction to these fruit snacks for a few weeks there. They're nice and firm textured, and the flavors are pleasant and juicy. And they're shaped like different fruits, which is very cute. But one is a CARROT shape?! Don't worry, none of them taste like carrot, they all taste basically the same. Good.

Mott's Hot Spiced Cider - Hot Apple Pie


Ewwwwwwwwwwww. I was intrigued by the idea of pouched cider, and I generally like apple cider so I had to give this a shot. But it tasted like a candle and not something humans should be drinking. It was really strong and perfumey and terrible. Easy to make, though! Maybe it was just this particular flavor, but I'm not sure if I want to risk another one anytime soon.
