These are new, and they are weird. The taste is essentially the same as OG Starburst, but the texture is really different. I suppose like a marshmallow or a firm gummy snack. Consequently they are less "juicy" and also less sweet than a normal starburst. So I think they're better to eat, especially if you want a bunch of them.

These guys make Texas Toast AND stale texas toast!? Wow. Anyway, much like the fresh version, I thought these were mostly fine. Very garlicy/salty, and a little bit big/firm for my preference, but overall good. Definitely serve their purpose in a salad and don't seem to contain nuts. Hooray!

Usually chip seasoning is a good thing, but this is the rare case where I prefer the plain salt version. There's lots of seasoning here, but it's weirdly sweet and has a strange undernote. Addictive in a way, but I switch between "yuck" and "yum" from bite to bite. Weird. No thanks.

Somehow knowing this was the last of the terrible pies made it a little better. I will never buy these again, but this was less bad because I have no expectation for what a strawberry cream hand pie should be like, so the weird thin goop filling wasn't as upsetting, even though it was certainly fruitless thin goop. Crust was fine. These are better cold than hot, but they are still bad. :(

These were quite good, at least on first opening! Thick, firm bite with a good amount of salt (=not too much). Restaurant quality instead of weird tostitos quality. They do sog up a bit after opening, though -- I need a better storage method, perhaps.

Curse the day I decided to buy these pies! Luckily there's only one left after this. Whew. OK, so the inside texture is still freakin' weird and goopy (and thin). It did taste a lot like a boston creme donut filling+frosting, though. Didn't really go with the pie crust. Overall, filling and fatty and sugary, and not worth it. Weird stuff.

Continuing along with our pie-rade of horrors, this, too, was bad. The outside is basically what I want in a hand pie, but the inside was really bad and weird. Like silly putty, but lemon colored. Yikes.
