Ritz Toasted Chips - Cheddar

These stress me out because there exist PB ritz. But hopefully not PB ritz chips, which is why they read as safe! They also stress me out because the package calls them chips. Are they chips? They are not. They are crackers. But they are weirdly thin and firm crackers. This flavor is like big, curvy cheese-its that have a little bit of Chicken In A Biscuit seasoning. That's autolyzed yeast extract for you, baby! Also garlic, onion, and potato. But while we're ingredient-reading, there is indeed cheddar cheese in there, so at least one thing on the package wasn't a lie. And I guess they're toasted. Unlike me.

Oreo Mini

I doubled up on flu and covid shots yesterday, and so I'm feeling a bit like garbage today. Is that a good time to eat Oreo Minis? Probably not. But I foolishly didn't buy any soups or noodles or anything sane, and a girl's gotta eat (oreo minis)! I'm surprised I haven't reviewed these already. They taste like an oreo, but small. I think I prefer that they are small because you get to eat like 10 of them instead of 2 big ones. That's more fun. Nothing earth-shattering here, but a solid sweet treat that is ostensibly safe (although the existence of little nutter butters makes me sweaty a little bit).

Teddy Grahams Honey Graham Snacks

A snack from my childhood that still exists? Pretty rare! But, these don't taste quite like I remember. They're still an OK snack - not particularly sweet, just a vaguely honey tasting wafer. Nothing special. I think the other flavors are probably stronger/better! But, they are cute.

Blackout Cake Oreos

These tasted pretty good -- actually, they basically just taste like a regular oreo. But that's pretty good, and better for me because I don't typically like chocolate flavored things, and this didn't taste much like chocolate. The filling is perhaps a bit smoother, though? Or there's more of it? I think there might be 150% of it. On the downside, my cookies were crumbled to bits from shopping, but I don't mind too much.

Chewy Chips Ahoy - Confetti Cake

I like Chewy Chips Ahoy's texture a lot, and that's the highlight here. I don't like that there was a girl who died from accidentally eating a peanut chewy chips ahoy because she didn't see the Reese's logo on the red bag. I checked this bag so many times in fear. I also don't really like the taste of these, which is no surprise because cake flavored stuff is usually gross (and to be fair, so is most cake). So although the texture is good and I ate a lot of these, I don't think they're a worthwhile purchase.

Chicken in a Biskit Crackers - Ranch

Huh, I had no idea they spelled it like "biskit". How odd. Anyway, these in their OG flavor form are one of my top crackers. Big childhood nostalgia. And this ranch flavor maintains a lot of that because the shape/texture is the same, although the flavor is of course a little ranchier. And they really do taste like ranch dressing, which is a con for me (original is better), but the chickeny MSG vibes are still present. A nice addictive salty snack. In a biskit!

Wheat Thins - Original

The store was out of my emotional support crackers (reduced fat wheat thins), so I got these instead. IDK if I'm delusional, but I think this version tastes a little worse. However, the fat content isn't really that different, and they're still a comforting and filling snack cracker. By the time I opened these up, I was out of cheese, so I'm just eating them plain, which is tragic but honestly not that bad. A little too sweet if you stop to think about it, but the size/shape/thickness of the cracker (very small and firm!) is second to none. I should buy cheese, as they are great to dip.

White Fudge Covered Oreo

Oh Oreo, how iridescent you are! Inside my stomach!

This is a cute little pack of exactly 1 Oreo, so you know it's a decadent varietal. The fudge covering is exactly that which is on other fudge covered cookies (what are they, Keebler elf cookies? Something), very sugary and not super thick or milky. It works pretty well with the oreo, and it does feel decadent. And it didn't kill me. Pretty cool little treat.

Fig Newtons

I don't even like figs that much, honest! But here's another classic fig treat. These are classic for me because they're vaguely healthy, so my parents had 'em around when I was a kiddo, and also because they don't have any nuts, so they are one of the rare cookies I can eat off the shelves. I always liked them fairly well -- they're filling! But this time I thought, dang, these are really sweet -- did they make them sweeter? Is this just aging?! They're good(ish), but maybe too sweet for my blood.

Oreo - Mega Stuf

Oreo-my-god, what?!, I thought when I saw this. I guess it's a natural extension of Double Stuf, but wait until you hear that there's a "Most Stuf" which is a 4x level of stuf instead of this measly 3x stuf. It makes sense, because the stuf is obviously the best part of the oreo. So therefore, yes, I enjoyed this. However, they are very bad for you (:o) and I also don't know if the mega-stuf are in a peanut free facility like the single and double stufs are. Therefore I prefer double stuf, despite loving stuf. I wonder why they speled it like that.

Oreo Thins

Let me be very clear: I'd rather have Oreo Thicks. I got this as a free sample, and my particular little packet tasted kind of "off" to me -- chemically? Like a weird flavor. But it might just be a fluke, I'll have to try more to know. Anyway, these have a thinner cookie and a thinner coating of frosting. I assume the actual contents are the same as Oreo Standard, just thinner, but it didn't taste the same, which is weird. Maybe that's down to the proportion? But if it is, I don't like it. Regular Oreos are just much better. This tasted like a weird fake-sugar cookie or something. Sorry Oreo! Allergy-wise I was scared but it looks like there are no nut-flavor Oreo thins out right now, at least, so that's comforting(ish).

Chips Ahoy! Original Cookies

Chips Ahoy! yum ahoy. I think Chips ahoy are kind of famous for a kid dying from eating the Reese's flavored one because the package looks really similar to the non-reese's one, which is scary and bad but because I read the packages always I still eat the regular flavor, since it has no may contain warnings. Am I tempting fate? Maybe. But the cookies are good. I like chocolate chip cookie, and even though these sure aren't homemade, they taste good, especially if you've been eating top-8 free cookies only for a while (no offense). Crunchy and sweet. Hard not to eat too many!

Double Stuf Oreos

Ore-oh yeah! Oreos are solid. Actually, they are nowhere near as good as like, a regular chocolate chip cookie, but for the processed thing that they are, they're super tasty and fun to eat and addictive. Luckily I only had a 2 pack of these Double Stufs, which is already 140calos, so yeah. Apparently the regular + double stuf oreos are on a dedicated nut-free line too, which makes me like them a bit more. Tasty and the stuf is the best part so I like it more than the regular ones.

Ritz Toasted Chips - Original

Are these chips or are these crackers? The world may never know. I think they're more like crackers, personally, although much thinner and crispier than a typical Ritz cracker. But I also like them pretty well; they are tasty and salty and ritz-buttery while apparently being not terrible for you. They certainly were tastier than I thought they would be. I didn't try dipping them, but it sounds good as well.

Oreo Cookies

If you're looking for a classic cookie, this is it. Sadly they do make peanut flavors sometimes, so like Chips Ahoy, you need to exercise caution, but I've always trusted their labelling process so these plain ones seem OK. I'm a creme over cookie person, so the plain flavor actually isn't my favorite, but they're still sweet and classic and good. They also get all on your face so you can't hide the fact that you ate Oreos. Otherwise, no complaints.

Honey Maid Graham Crackers

Graham crackers are a pretty classic/basic snack, and they seem to be nut free! I associate them with S'mores but they're not bad on their own. A little but of cinnamon sugar flavor, and honey, but not overwhelming. A good, sweet, and tasty snack.

Lorna Doone Shortbread Cookies

These are a classic little cookie. This package actually wasn't as good as I remembered, I think I was expecting more of a "Chessman" vibe, but these weren't as buttery. Still, a fine treat, though mild, plain, and filling. Just a light shortbread.

Good Thins - The Beet One (Balsamic Vinegar and Sea Salt)

I'm not a big beet fan, and that's an understatement. So thank goodness the first ingredient in these is potato and not beet. The texture is more like a potato crisp than a cracker, and they are thin with a nice crunch to them. They have a fun purple red color with black dust, which is very unique, and they aren't super duper high calorie, which is nice. The flavor, though, even though there's a good amount of potato and some nice tangy vinegar flavor, is certainly, unmistakably beet. Just straight red beet juice. Do you like this? Then you will like this chip. Do you hate this, as I do? Then you will think, I can get this down because it's not super strong and has a good crunch and I'm hungry but gee I sure wish it didn't taste like beet.

Good Thins - The Potato One (Sweet Potato)

I didn't really know what to expect going into these! My friend really likes the Oat One, but those are very different from these. These have the texture of a popped chip, but the taste of a sweet, milder sweet potato chip. They have a light dusting of sugar, but not too much. The taste is actually really nice! I'm not sure that these are especially healthy, but even so, they taste better than most potato chips I've had. It's weird to eat them out of a box, though. But a very pleasant, smooth, still-sweet-potatoey flavor. I'm into it!

Chewy Chips Ahoy - Gooey Caramel

False advertising!! This is not GOOEY!! Won these for being trivia losers, which is nice. They really taste just like regular chewy chips ahoy, which are OK, but not amazing -- very very processed tasting. You bite this in half, and it does not goo out! It is like a solid piece of cookie. You can hardly taste the caramel, honestly. I don't know what's going on with this. Maybe I should have tried microwaving them, or something.
