Nature's Bandits Mango apple fruit stix

These are really quite good! Definitely a top tier fruit snack. They do taste strongly of mango, which is a top fruit for me, they have that nice pliable texture, and they're represented by a cute raccoon. Just wish there were more little stix in the bag!

Newman's Own Organics - Butter Popcorn

This was fine. No major issues, pops well and no nuts that I know of. The taste isn't very salty or buttery, but it does leave a weird fake butter film on your tongue. So, I don't like that. Makes you feel kinda bad without tasting good. Filling, though! Would eat only if no other popcorns or snacks were around, I think. Sorry Pauly.

Swedish Fish

Yo, I don't know what it is -- I used to like Swedish Fish, I think! But they taste so weird to me now. Like, weird floral chemical vibes. Plus the mineral oil. I'm sorry, Sweden, your fish are bad.

Bowery Crispy Leaf Lettuce

Don't get me wrong, I like the design and easy-to-eatness of all the Bowery lettuce packages, but of those, this is one of my least favorites. It tasted pretty "earthy", if you know what I mean. I know there's no dirt on it, it looks clean, yet it tastes like there might be some dirt on it. The frilly leafs aren't for me, I guess! Still ate it though.

2019 Green Eyes GrĂ¼ner Veltliner

This is a cute bottle, and interestingly it's different from the 2018 version -- that one had a screw top, this one has a beer bottle top! Possibly the actual wine tastes different, too, but it's been so long that I can't be too sure. This one was also quite fizzy, so I guess that's intentional! Kind of fun to have a fizzy non-champ white, and it's a bit sweet, so what's not to like? But after a day or two it really degrades, and so do I, into a vommy mess, so drink this one early and often! :)

Goldfish Grahams - Vanilla Cupcake

I'm not sure why I'm so surprised by this, since they're called "Grahams", but these taste like Teddy Grahams!! Nice! Much better than the savory goldfish, in my opinion. A nice sweet, light frosting taste. Pleasant, like little shortbread cookies. Cute.

Flavor Blasted Goldfish - Xtra Cheddar

Good things about goldfish: the shape, the jingle, the company. Bad things: the taste! Sorry, goldfish. OK, these aren't bad exactly, but they aren't doing anything for me. I was hoping the flavor blast would blast a little harder, because they seem essentially flavorless. Fairly filling portion size in a snack bag, and not offensive, but the whole "cheddar cracker" vibe is so boring. I don't get the appeal!
