Spice World Garlic Bulbs (3 pack)

More like HELL WORLD. Maybe it's just because I buy a lot of it, but of all the things my grocery store most often is out of, garlic is #1. Given no single-serve normal bulbs, the only other (fresh) option was this suspicious pre-bagged 3 pack of verrrry small cloves. I popped into it at home and discovered every bulb was 80% green shoot inside. Horrible experience. Sprouted, small, AND too many per purchase. Maybe I just had some bad luck in buying, but I think I'd rather suffer a garlicless dish than return to this poison well.

Spice World Minced Garlic

My store was out of normal human garlic, so I ended up getting this. It seems very convenient -- no peeling! no cutting! And it lasts so long! But when I opened it, it smelled very bad and not even garlicy. Of course, I used it anyway, and it was fine, but it was so weird that I don't think I'd get it again if I had a choice. I don't know if mine went bad somehow (there's no safety pop lid!) or if it's just supposed to be like that -- more weird pickle liquid than garlic?
