Frosted Gingerbread Pop Tarts

The conceit of these is kind of a joke, since they are way too flimsy to ever build a house out of. However, the little printed designs are kind of adorable. I got a little cat and a little plate of poptarts with coffee, as well as a mailbox with poptarts in. I can't wait to collect them all (in my stomach)! The taste is quite similar to the snickerdoodle ones, actually; but they're decent, cookie-sweet cinnamon outsides with a nice white icing inside. Cute.

Yo Quiero! Mashed Avocado

It's not a lie, I really do quiero mashed avocado. This is much better than those packaged guacs, because this is not actually guac, it's 100% avo. So yes, that's very tasteless, but you can add spices or onions/tomatoes/garlic and it's exactly what you want, whereas there's no fixing the bitter acidic mess that is "wholly guacamole". Anyway, this was good for nachos and even lasted a day or two once opened. Would buy again for sure.

Hormel square table - Beef Roast


At first bite (or really, at first smell) I thought "omg this is cat food", but it grew on me, you'll be pleased to know. It tastes like beef for sure, like pot roast. A good texture, and the sauce is the fattiest/tastiest part as the meat is mostly just essence of dry meat. Also, this is really bad for you. Only get it if you need pot roast and can't roast your own pot!

Sargento Off The Block 4 Cheese Mexican (Reduced Fat)

About this cheese, I have no complaints. It was fine, melted as desired and fit the nacho ethos I was going for. I only had it in nacho so there's not much else to say!

vlasic - Kosher Dill Spears

Classic vlasic, these are. At least there's no sugar in these, so it's just pure unadulterated pickle. They were "OK" in teeny bites with my nachos, but as a pickle spear solo, I'm finding it difficult to eat. The taste is just so much vinegar, and they leave off such a bright green goo trail, too. I do appreciate the "pure" ingredients, but I just don't like pickles, darn it. Fine for recipe use though, I guess.

Kinder's Mild BBQ sauce

This is good on burgers, which is why I bought it, but I don't love it -- I think Sweet Baby Ray's is superior as a BBQ sauce, for suuuure.

Santitas Yellow Corn Chips

I don't think I ever acknowledged this as a chip that existed, but it was the cheapest/safest "thick looking" restaurant style corn chip. I used it for my nachos, and it seemed just fine. Nothing particularly good or bad to say about it. Good thickness, average taste and salt levels.
