109,400 | I absolutely LOVE these breakfast bars. High in fiber and fortified with many vitamins, "Banana Bread" is the only flavor that's really yummy. Unfortunately, no stores in my area carry this flavor anymore. I was prepared to pay an arm and a leg to buy them online, but right now (July 2010) the only purchase option here at Amazon is twice the price for the product that I am accustomed to paying AND the shipping is an ARM AND A LEG at 11 dollars. Come on, guys, you can do SO much better. :-( |
109,401 | Having had Sumatra Dark coffee previously and enjoyed it. I had a problem obtaining it in the individual packets. Found this at Amazon, tried it and it is delicious, Full bodied, flavorful and the perfect enjoyable coffee! With the excellent Amazon delivery too. |
109,402 | Great product, better than envelope yeast packages. just add to flour mixture, do not need to proof.If you follow the above rule, your breads,buns,etc will turn out very good. |
109,403 | We having been feeding our two young cats the chicken formula for a while now and they seem to be able to keep it down with little problem. Natures variety touts rotational feeding as a one of the perks of the brand so we tried out this formula. even after adding a small amount in with the chicken the cats become sick with a few minutes and vomit out what they had eaten. Eating it alone without the chicken formula with it produced worse results. Just to make sure I fed them their usually raw food at night and they were fine, but the serving of rabbit dry in the morning resulted in nearly instant vomiting.
I hope a company like this reads the various review sites and can balance this formula out. |
109,404 | This pack is a 12 pk of 4 oz jars
-3 Banana Apricot
-3 Peach Oatmeal Banana
-3 Plum Banana and Brown Rice
-3 Prunes and Oatmeal
We have used all of the products except the prune and oatmeal. The babies love the food and I have found Earth's Best to make a high quality product. |
109,405 | I saw this at my local Dollar Tree which I had just begun frequenting. I thought "..hmm name brand, Snapple, sure why not" and grabbed it to try. I don't usually drink Snapple products so I have nothing to compare it to, however, being an avid drinker of Emergen-C and other powder based water flavour-ers I was eager to try this.
It was actually quite good. I split one pouch among two 16.9 fl oz bottles of water. I like it a little diluted; just enough to get my tastes buds going. Though I must admit, in the morning, even diluted it's too sweet for me.
I was not expecting this to taste that good. Word of advice, follow the directions. I didn't the first time and dumped it in and wondered why the powder wasn't dissolving and almost swore off the product for good.
If you can get it for a $1 at your local dollar store then I say it's worth it. At 10 cals a pack it's much better than a soda or energy drink :) |
109,406 | Love these bags...just the right size for smaller dogs (I have a Crested and a Pomeranian), sturdy (that's important!)..and in color too. They only have blue ones at the pet stores. Good deal, better price than at the pet superstores. |
109,407 | Very tasty and sweet alternative to flour, but I haven't quite got the quantities balanced yet, so it's been a bit dry. |
109,408 | I thought these were REALLY good, especially since they are gluten free. They are great just out of the oven, and the next day. However, I would not keep them much past that, as they start to get crumbly. My non-gluten free friends even enjoyed these. |
109,409 | This popcorn is much smaller than your average popcorn, and it is virtually hulless. That is exactly what I was looking for in a popcorn because my 3 year old LOVES popcorn. With 3 year old children, you have to be concerned with the hulls causing choking or hurting their tender gums. My son has no trouble eating this popcorn. It is soft and light, doesn't get stuck in your teeth nearly as much, and has a great flavor.
This is now my popcorn of choice for our whole family. I usually pop it in my 10 year old cheap hot air popper with no problems. I get very few unpopped kernels. Another reviewer stated that it flies out before popping, but I have not experienced this problem (it could depend on the popper, I suppose). I have tried microwaving it in a paper bag, but I always seem to end up burning it. I think it takes a little more trial and error for microwaving to get the time just right, so I just stick with my hot air popper. I get great popcorn every time! |
109,410 | Personally, I like the blueberry ones better but these are good as well. The tidbits of raspberry are more like hard nuggets instead of blended in like the blueberry thins. |
109,411 | I bought two different flavors of Vita gravy, and I couldn't get either of my cats to even take a lick of them, despite how I served them. I tried to put some on their dry food, they actually didn't eat for hours until I replaced it with just dry food. I tried offering it up solo, to no avail. And I put some on a bit of lettuce, but they still wouldn't take the bait.
I imagine it smells like plastic to them, but both my cats don't go near it after smelling Vita Gravy. I can understand Allstar not liking it - he's... special (which is why I call him "Allstar"). He's squeamish and weird and he only eats his regular food in small portions throughout the day; never more than a couple of bites at once. If I offer him wet food, he just licks the gravy from that and leaves the meaty portion to Agnes.
Agnes, on the other hand, is a 20 lb vacuum. I've had to pull string out of her anus because she ingested it and couldn't quite push it out of herself. Come to think of it, she doesn't mind chewing on plastic either, so I'm not sure what about Vita Gravy is so unappetizing to her, especially considering what I've shared.
I don't know if other cats go for it, but I have two VERY different cats of my own and neither will eat Vita Gravy. My advice: Bad buy. |
109,412 | I bought this recently to add to my homemade laundry detergent powder so I could eliminate the need for a vinegar rinse. I love making my own detergent; it is actually a lot of fun and so easy! The next thing I will use this stuff for is homemade dishwasher detergent. I love that it can be used for cleaning products as well as for food use! I can sprinkle some on fruits after slicing to prevent early browning, etc. This citric acid could also be used in homemade beverages. This large 5-lb container was the best bang for my buck online. I won't run out for a while! |
109,413 | I sent this as a gift to my Aunt. She loved it!! Said it brought back memories growing up in the 1950's. Each candy had a story. I would recommend this product! |
109,414 | These chips are very tasty, but not "flavored". I have nothing against BBQ, pesto, sour cream and onion, etc. flavored chips, but sometimes prefer the classic potato chip taste. Yukon gold chips are thick and hearty, not too oily or salty... just right! |
109,415 | My sisters really like this kind of Pasta Sides, but personally I'm not a huge fan. That may be because we tried to eat it as a main dish, but I wasn't able to stand eating it like that (unlike all the other flavors of pasta sides) until I made some buttered toast to pair with it. If I eat each bite with a bite of toast, then it's tasty. If its plain though, I don't think I could eat very much of it. So my suggestion for those who weren't crazy about it but didn't hate it: try making some plain toast with butter, OR make some texas toast in the oven and pile some of the pasta on top of it before serving. You might like it a little more then :) |
109,416 | This stuff is amazing. You'd think it would have a lot of sugar since it's maple, but it doesn't. In fact, it has very similar nutritional content to peanut butter, but it tastes 100 times better. It's all natural, too (only four tasty ingredients) so you don't have to worry about getting cancer or some weird disease from a bunch of synthetic crap. TRY THIS!
P.S. The combo of this and multi-grain bread is delicious. |
109,417 | A few friends of mine from work ordered a couple of pounds of Blue Horse Kona Coffee last year and we were all amazed at the exceptional flavor, no less the wonderful smell which filled the office as the coffee was brewing. We are now on our third order and we have five people from my office ordering, as they too have become addicted to this special coffee. We share the cost of 5 pound orders (free shipping from Blue Horse directly), with our most resent order intended as an after dinner Thanksgiving treat for our family and friends. Then if the coffee wasn't good enough, I must add that the service from the folks at Blue Horse is fantastic, every order arrived with in days of its placement and each time the coffee was a fresh as it gets or at least tastes and smells that way. To say the least, IF you are truly a coffee frantic like I am, please do yourself and/or your family a favor and order some, you will not be disappointed and you will experience some of the best tasting coffee in the world. Then even if you don't like coffee, this would make an exceptional gift for someone who does. The medium roast is what we've ordered on our two prior orders but this time we've order 5 pounds of the dark roast, so we can compare and say we've had the best of both worlds. Once I've brewed a few pots of the dark, I will come back and update my posting, so everyone will have a review of both but as an FYI, you can order a pound of each and you do get free shipping with multi-pound orders. They also have a website and you can order directly from them, saving a little money over the Amazon price, plus the pictures and stories/history of the coffee alone is worth the visit to their site. |
109,418 | Although these "Flops" failed Jelly Belly standards, they still taste great and get a passing grade from me. Our family enjoyed them considerably. It was fun to pick out different Jelly Bellys and guess their flavors by looking at their colors before tasting. The quality was still great with these flops. |
109,419 | I know this is a finer powder than coffee but I was not expecting it to sift out of kcups into the box. Think the boxes should be shrink wrapped like some of the coffee we receive so that it was not such a mess. Flavor was just too sweet. Will not buy again. |
109,420 | This is a great product. My Yorkshire terrier happends to be allergic to all foods but fish. He is also alletgic to sweet potatoes and potatoes but amazingly this item doesn't make him itch as much as other dog treats. I'm definatley sticking to this product. Also if your dog isn't eating well like mines (only eats fish because he is allergic to all other things) you can use this as a supplement for him. Five or six a day helps my dog poop regularly. He loves the crunch to it and its hickory smoke flavor. |
109,421 | I usually buy all spices at Indian groceries which was too expensive...I ordered this and received it 2days..To my surprise the pods had an amazing amora and tasted great..Would suggest every one to try this than buying from Indian store.. |
109,422 | super delicious bars. only 3 ingredients, what could be better! great deal on a whole case on amazon. would recommend them to anyone. going to try all other flavors |
109,423 | these blueberries were great tasting, softer than most dried fruit. A little sticky so probably not great on the go. Great way to get fruit easily, just grab a handful. My husband doesn't like blueberries and he loves these. |
109,424 | I like this brand of coffee very much. Reasonably priced here, as compared with my grocery store. A good deal. |
109,425 | I like the product, having bought it at a local store in the past. Unfortunately package after package in my 12 pack was made up of over half the product in powder form. It got to be a running joke in our household, to the point where I weighed the dust from 2 of the packages. Over 2 oz. of these bags were Soy Crisp powder. I don't think it was a problem of shipping since the box wasn't dented at all and none of the bags had blown open.
I ended up using the dust on a salad. The crisps themselves rock - I just wonder if Gensoy has some issues in quality control. |
109,426 | Starbucks Natural Fusions Vanilla coffee isn't all it's cracked up to be. You can clearly smell the vanilla when you open the bag but..... brewing destroys it
After I brewed a pot, Could not smell the vanilla nor taste it. The Vanilla was gone.
Save your money. There's no vanilla flavor, just vanilla scent in the coffee grounds fresh out of the bag |
109,427 | The expiration date on the package is 09-30-2011, as compared to expiration date in 2012 for the same product we buy from a local store. So the product must have been sitting somewhere for a long time before it was sent to us. Plus it does not taste as good as the one without the sesame. I will be very reluctant to buy food product from Amazon!
I was not told that I can not return this item when I ordered it. I would have made a different decision if I were told so. |
109,428 | I have been drinking this wonderful stuff for a few years now. Until recently have been able to purchase it at our local AFB Commissary, but they have stopped carrying it. Decided to check Amazon.com and there it was! Sugar-free, decaffeinated and delicious! And what's more, it's on Prime so it comes with free shipping. I like the Mocha flavor the best although the French Vanilla is acceptable. The Mocha is like a great cup of hot chocolate, with a hint of coffee and so creamy smooth. I can have this any time of the day! Only 60 calories per cup! That's 'way under the 100-calorie snack that's popular now. I highly recommend it. And thanks to Amazon.com, I can get it for just about the same price as the Commissary! |
109,429 | I will no longer feed my dog(s) standard grocery store foods though I did have a cocker spaniel live almost 17 years mostly on that before I knew better. This is a very good food. Good ingredients (meat should always be the first ingredient, not corn, wheat, etc). Can be a little pricey, so you may have to shop around, but it is worth it. You will occasionally find dogs that can't tolerate certain foods and this is no exception. So far hasn't been a problem for my dog after > 2 years of this particular type. Breed: Giant Schnoodle, ~66 lbs. He loves fish so this is perfect. If we're having fish for dinner (tuna, baked tilapia, etc), you can be assured he'll be nearby with his nose turned up somewhere sniffing around. |
109,430 | This truffle sea salt is excellent! For me, more flavor is released if the truffle salt is adding during cooking. The dried truffle needs the heat to reach it's full potential. Added to warm EVOO or butter, the flavor can be easily infused throughout a dish. |
109,431 | This mix makes pancakes that have none of the qualities pancakes should have. They were heavy, flavorless, and grainy. I live gluten free and I make pancakes every weekend. I would never make this mix again. Other mixes such as gluten free bisquick do a far superior job. DO NOT BUY!!!!! |
109,432 | I used to do the subscribe and save with the Timothy's World Kona, but due to the fact that the price on Timothy's jumped so high, I went to Wolfgang Puck Breakfast in Bed. Pleasantly surprised, and I must say that I like this one much better than the Kona! It seems much more smoother, but the taste still retains a nice warm mellow-bold flavor. Great way to start the day! Oh, and I love the name of this coffee ;) |
109,433 | Starbucks will not use any artificial flavors in their coffee. For this reason, they were not quick to offer flavored whole bean or ground flavored coffee products. In the shops they offer to add flavoring to already brewed coffee. I was very impressed by the ingredients of this coffee. They actually added ground vanilla beans! The flavor of the ground vanilla beans really cuts through the much stronger coffee flavor. After all, vanilla is a subtle flavor. The coffee beans used are very robust in flavor, typical of Starbucks coffee. They also add sarsaparilla root as well. Sold at a reasonable price, I highly recommend this coffee for those who appreciate a full bodied flavored coffee. |
109,434 | These figs are soft in texture and easy for children to chew, however, I was disappointed in the lack of flavor. I love the Old World figs strung on a piece of vine; they assume the firmness and consistency of leather, but Ohhhh, the flavor! They taste like sunshine and sweet, old trees on a sunny hillside: these taste like nothing at all. . . just stuff with tiny seeds. They have no scent. They are not sweet. I take your word that they are figs, but they sure don't taste like the ones I've known. |
109,435 | As other reviewers have said, this flavor tends to be slightly more crumbly than other Nana's No Gluten varieties, but certainly not enough so to phase me. It is also exactly as spicy as most of us know and love about any ginger baked good. Nana's does a beautiful job of making, packaging, and preserving (naturally) their product. If you tend to shy away from pre-packaged cookies, trust me, this one will not disappoint! |
109,436 | For the occasional drink, sure. But the sugar content is a little high because of the fruit. It tastes pretty sweet, but still good...I would drink it when I feel like something sweet. I bought one case and I will drink it over the course of a couple months. However, compared to Tommy's Naked Soda, it falls flat. |
109,437 | Amendment: I no longer eat these cookies because they are almost always rock-hard stale (at least the ones I get through Amazon). I'm leaving the stars and review as is because when you can get these cookies fresh, they are delicious.
---------------------------------------
I'm not kidding. I can't stay away from them. What I think is best about these cookies is that they have a true ginger flavor, kind of like gourmet ginger snaps. The bits of crystalized ginger on top are like getting a small reward. The cookies themselves are moist, but firm (not crisp!), not sticky like some GF cookies I've tried. I've read this comment sometimes about GF baked goods: it has good mouth feel. So do these cookies.
The other thing I like about the Pamela line of cookies is the size of each cookie. Not too big, not too small, but as Goldilocks would say: just right. Even if I weren't obliged to live GF, I would buy these cookies. |
109,438 | This listing if for the High Fiber version of the gastrointestinal food formula. It isn't what I had intended to purchase. I am trying it for my cat anyway, since it states it will still help with diarrhea, but am more impressed with reviews for the HE formula on other sites. Wish me luck that this works. |
109,439 | This is a good, classic chipotle flavor sauce. It has the thickness of a creamy salad dressing and delivers the chipotle flavor. I used it on a grilled chicken sandwich with avocado and cheddar cheese and this worked great. I could also see using on burgers, tacos, maybe even as a salad dressing. Taco Bell did a good job with this sauce. |
109,440 | An old favorite of mine that still tastes just like it did 35+ years ago!!!!! And this place that I ordered from shipped them faster than fast!!! Five stars all the way!!! |
109,441 | If you like Amaretto this is the creamer for you. The taste is not overpowering and not too sweet. My only problem was that some of the containers were crushed and leaked. Noing Amazon they replaced it immediately and the second batch is perfect.
Love this product and Amazon. |
109,442 | I got this as a Christmas present for my Aunt who loves both dried fruit and nuts. I actually had to supplement this gift with something else because the tray size was so small. I was really disappointed. The quality was great, but the price for the size was not. |
109,443 | WOW, This is nothing like any liquid smoke I can find in my home town. It looks more like a thin BBQ sauce but has a fantastic hickory smoke aroma. I will never use another liquid smoke. Stubb's also makes a great BBQ sauce. |
109,444 | I have been feeding my cats this food for 1 year. I use to feed them Natural Balance and the only reason i switched was due to my local petco always beening out of stock. As to my surprise my cats have thrived on this food. Nice shine to there coats and they attack the bowl! My mother feeds her cats this since i switched and has the same results! |
109,445 | With all the worries about recalled pet food I wanted something I could trust. I put it on auto-ship which lowers the price a little. My cat goes through one bag in a little more than a month and the whole thing will fit in her feeder (very convenient). She isn't a picky eater like other reviewers cats (although she turns her nose up at canned cat food), but she seems to like it just fine. When I received my first bag I wasn't about to do a taste test, but I did the sniff test. The organic smelled fresh and...well...like cat food, but the new IAMS bag smelled musty and sort of rancid. Shortly after when I was still weaning her off the IAMS cat food, I had an invasion of ants. Both open bags were under the sink in the laundry room and they went for the organic but didn't come near the IAMS. Maybe they know something we don't??? |
109,446 | Not for the amateur coffee drinker! If your current coffee just isn't doing the job, step up to the Double Black Diamond. We like dark, bold coffees and this one is our number one fave. :) |
109,447 | The mushroom's are large and of outstanding quality. We use them anywhere instead of button mushrooms. The real secreat here is to use the warm water that remains when you reconstitue them, in your dish. We use it when making reisots and it makes all the difference in the world! These are quality mushrooms, and cheaper than buying the same mix (fresh)at the grocery store. |
109,448 | Great price, Great taste! I don't really know what else to say about it.. You get three for the price of what two would cost in any store! |
109,449 | I've tried about 30 varieties and this is one of my everyday cups. This actually tastes like Folgers which I also like but this is cheaper. I think in fact they make this? I use the 10oz setting on my Keurig and this is just right for me. For those who like a strong cup then they might want the smaller setting. I have had a few guests ask me what kind of coffee this was as they really liked it. Must be a low acid blend as it never upsets my stomach even after 5 cups. Very smooth taste. I'm not a coffee connoisseur but after tasting so many different K-cups I can tell you this one is one of the best. |
109,450 | The taste was better than I expected. The main reason for ordering the Muir ketchup was the sea salt component to eliminate the effect of swelling from ingestion of salt. I found out, there was more components than the salt in diet that controls the swelling. If I maintain the same amount of food I am ingesting, the sea salt in Muir is excellent. However, If I ingest more food, even with the same type, swelling starts to start. Apparently, even with the sea salt-discipline is the key, along with the lack of gluten, wheat. Certain gluten foods causes an annoying rashes, swelling and skin abnormalities. Eliminating one irritating component is important, but for perfect control, an all over evaluation must be maintained.
I found out American choice foods are perfect, but the discipline of the amount food ingested will be done to gain all over control. It was interesting, even with eliminating the gluten, over eating gluten free foods, is fattening. A day two of fasting will eliminate the problem.
I was really surprised and amazed the efficacy of ordering from Amazon!
The time of delivery was excellent,the representatives were very helpful and amazingly truthful. I still have to evaluate the positve effect of the Muir. |
109,451 | I started giving these to my 7 month old daughter because every time her 2 1/2 year old brother had something to eat she looked at his food longingly. She loves them and blazes through them pretty fast. She's been able to work on her dexterity while trying to pick them up and she chews them (she has 8 teeth already) though they dissolve well too. I picked this product since the ingredients are right in line with the foods I've been introducting to her. Wish there were other flavors that were gluten free, but we'll be there soon enough (and other brands don't seem to have a gluten free option). They are rather boring tasting to the rest of us, but for a new solid food eater, they allow them to eat socially with the rest of us. |
109,452 | ...and that's the most positive thing I have to say for this product. There aren't a lot of choices for decaf for the Tassimo at the moment, but this is not the choice I'd make again. I brewed a cup, immediately added some sugar and real half & half, stirred, put the cup to my lips and I tasted... bad noodles from Panda Express in liquid form. Now, normally I would make decaf Cafe Verona or decaf House Blend from Starbucks either in a regular coffee maker or a french press, but I'm not terribly picky; I will drink a cup of decaf from Denny's or Friendly's or wherever, and enjoy it. This was not remotely enjoyable.
I was originally going to give it 2 stars since it nearly tastes like coffee, but after writing this review I've realized there is not a redeeming quality to it. I will only serve this to someone I don't like when I want them to leave my house. |
109,453 | This jerky is the best jerky I've had - period.
I'm an omnivore and this stuff tastes better than meat jerky.
It has a rich meaty flavor without being overpowering -
unlike most jerkies, meat-less or otherwise.
Also it's low in sugar and sodium, which is rare for a
meat-less jerky. Other meat-less jerkies usually use that
and a ton of spice to over compensate for being meat-less.
Totally worth it. |
109,454 | I have a bichon and I thought this would entertain him for at
least 15 minutes, but it didn't. He solved it quickly, within 5 minutes and looked at me as if to say, that's all? |
109,455 | I bought the large high tech pet door 8 months ago. From the beginning, it took buying 5 collars before I could get 3 that worked. The collar radios are cheaply made, they fall apart. The nylon collars themselves easily come unravelled and are virtually impossible to find replacements.
The door itself worked perfectly for 6 1/2 months. Then it began sticking in the open position. I have reached out the manufacturer several times, but have NEVER received a response. After reading their website FAQ, I decide to replace the motor assembly. This requires completely removing the door from the wall, removing no less than 28 different screws, prying the fly wheel from the old motor, attaching the new motor assembly to the fly wheel. Next, I wanted to test the new assembly, but you can't set the door upright without reinserting the majority of screws. Thankfully, the door worked perfectly. I reattached the back completely, then reattached the door to the wall... All for the tidy sum of 90.00 with shipping.
One week later the door began sticking again. I contacted the company again... Still no response... The symptoms this time were a bit different. The door opens, then attempts to close 5-6 times, before successfully closing... AND this only happens as the day goes on... Not early in the morning or after several hours of non-use... I re-read the company website FAQ... They suggested replacing the motor assembly AND motherboard... After several days of no response from the company, I was getting desperate. So I ordered the motherboard... 60.00 later, the door is still acting the exact same way... Working perfectly in the morning, but sticking as the day wears on... I have spent almost 700.00 with this company and they have failed to respond to a single email or phone call... They suck! |
109,456 | The house blend has a well-balanced taste that goes well with the frothed milk in the cappuccino and makes quite enjoyable espressos too. This is actually pretty competitive in price with the 32-ounce bags that you can find at some of the big discount stores and it has the advantage that, having 3 bags, the coffee can be kept fresher. The combined 36 ounces should be enough for some 30+ Venti equivalent, only stronger.
Briefly:
- one month or so of daily cappuccinos or double-espressos or daily Venti-size coffees
- coffee stays fresher as when compared to the big discount stores 32-ounce bags because it comes in THREE sealed bags
- the house blend happens to be my favorite
- price is only slightly higher than what you can get in a discount store but the 3-bag packaging makes up for it
As of June 30, 2009, it was not available as a subscription item. I would subscribe without hesitation if it was. |
109,457 | The price is Great and the product itself has a very unique and interesting flavor
as for the nutrition, i can't say whether or not it is good for you or if it will make you healthier |
109,458 | Pleasant taste, and the pretty canister will make nice gifts. Good cold weather treat! |
109,459 | We have been purchasing the Dynasty Oolong and Restaurant Teas for several years. This
year I bought in bulk so we wont run out for some time in the future. Try them - they
are just delicious. It's the only Oolong Tea my husband will drink. |
109,460 | Wow, am I ever intrigued. Schwan shipped my order from their Minnesota headquarters to Florida by ground UPS, and, among other perishables, was included chocolate almond ice cream and strawberry yoghurt. I haven't received the shipment, and I tried to cancel the entire order because I saw that Schwan wasn't taking any action on it, but they pre-empted me by ignoring the cancel request and shipping it UPS ground two day.
Actually, what is even more mystifying is that Schwan's knew there are Schwan delivery trucks all over this region of Florida, and I am positive that there is a Schwan delivery route only 3/10 of a mile from where I live. So, they could have been less malicious about this by getting a refrigerated Schwan delivery truck to deliver the goods in the insulated bag with the ice cubes and gel packs that is standard for such deliveries.
This is written after I got delivery of the above by UPS ground three days later. Schwan's replied to my requests to cancel two days after I sent them, in other words, on the day I received delivery.
Truth to tell, Schwan's was playing a joke, because they use plastic insulated picnic chests full of dry ice to ship their products by UPS ground, and the products all arrive frozen solid, many with nearly quite acceptable wholesome ingredients. They don't mention the dry ice, so wondering how the product would survive shipping is the joke on the customer.
So far, I've sampled the ice cream and the strawberry yoghurt, both of which are better quality from a wholesomeness standpoint than available at local markets. The wonton soup with the pork wonton has an ingredients list that is anything except wholesome, almost like a joke on people who eat pork. Undoubtedly, the next Time you read a Schwan's catalog on the Amazon web site, the wonton soup will have fake vegetarian pork in it.
So, for the dairy goods sampled so far using my microwave to defrost, like my kids used to say, "Yummy, yummy in the tummy."
Oh, and it's a good idea to dispose of the UPS packaging quickly, because the dry ice evaporates into carbon dioxide which is not safe to breathe in quantity in an enclosed area and could become a lawsuit issue of the kind we innocent consumers are so fond of these days. |
109,461 | I have 2 poodle mixes and they had soft poop lately, so I tried giving them probiotics. It didn't help. So I tried giving them 1 tablespoon of this with each meal and now they are SUPER regular in their bowel movements and their poop has firmed up. I don't even have to walk them for them to poop anymore! They just go in the backyard. Trust me these two rarely pooped in the backyard before I started giving them the pumpkin. I do have a plastic dog can lid which I like to use to keep the fresher (at least I like to think so!). None of my cans were dented.
**TIP** I decided to give my dogs 1/2 tbpn since they are 15-20 lbs. Since I can't use the whole can up in 3 days as recommended by the can, I used the 1/2 tablespoon to scoop little mounds onto a small cookie sheet, froze them in the freezer and then put the frozen scoops into a freezer zip lock bag for storage in the freezer.
**UPDATE 4/25/12** My dog with the sensitive stomach, his poop got soft again even though I was giving him the pumpkin every meal. So, now I added 2 tbspns of rice, and that's hardened up his poop. I'll keep testing with different ratios of rice and pumpkin mixed with his canned dog food till I find the perfect output. Hahaha. |
109,462 | I admit that I have not looked at the nutrition information, so I can only comment on how they taste. Forget the fact that our little one really enjoys these things. I really enjoy snacking on these myself. They're baby bite-size, dissolve somewhat quickly if taken whole without any bites, nice and crunchy if you do decide to bite into them, not overly cheesy, and all of the pieces find a way to remain intact (including Big Bird's long beak) while in the box/bag. |
109,463 | We brought this coffee back from Vienna because all the coffee we had there was so smooth. We took a risk just picking up any kind from a grocery store, but we were not disappointed!
This coffee is so smooth! I am known to family and friends as a "coffee snob" so you can believe me! |
109,464 | I LOVE this stuff! It adds so much flavor and is good for dieters as it does not add any hidden sugars. Most all seasonings have some sugar in them, but this is just good old unadulterated seasoning for ones who want a bunch of flavor without the added calories. Like I said.....I LOVE it! |
109,465 | This is a lovely flavor and makes a lovely presentation. I made pink rose cupcakes with rose icing, it was a big hit with the office ladies. |
109,466 | These little cans of Izze sparkling grapefruit juices went into a big ice chest for a recent party, and I was stunned to see how popular they were among the tween-aged kids. Parents had no objections to the caffeine- and processed-sugar-free drinks, and they taste refreshing and crisp.
That said, nothing beats water if you really want to have the perfect health drink. And I was frustrated to have chosen grapefruit flavor, which I had forgotten was off-limits to a family member because of medication restrictions. For those who want soda or energy drink, this won't be a replacement, in spite of those who would call it a healthy soda.
Overall, however, these sparkling juices are a great summer choice. Refreshing, relatively healthy and super popular from kids to adults -- we'll be adding them to our future shopping lists for sure. |
109,467 | There are some days that I just need a pic me up. That's usually when I turn to something chocolatey, usually in the form of a cookie or cupcake. I signed up for the Cookie Athlete "Cookie of the Month club".
I have loved getting gourmet cookies shipped right to my front door. I live in a small town, and I don't like store bought cookies. I know cookies, and when they are gross, they aren't worth the calories, but all in all I have been impressed with the cookies I have received (I'm on month 3 now!). I did count my cookies....I got between 1 dozen up to 15 cookies per box so far, but they have been worth every penny!
To be honest, I've been thinking that this might be a fun gift to give all my girlfriends for Christmas! They are so hard to buy for....who doesn't love cookies? |
109,468 | My cats love this stuff, it keeps them away from my plants and grows really fast. |
109,469 | This is one of the thickest shampoos I have ever seen. I can wash my hair and let it sit for several minutes without it running into my eyes. I have not experienced any of the problems others complain about, and it does a great job cleaning my hair. The labeling is misleading, as it proclaims that it will "nourish the scalp" and more. With an *. The * states that you need to use the conditioner as well. So what exactly are the benefits of the shampoo alone?
So as a shampoo, it works great. Anything else? Who knows. |
109,470 | When I ordered was somewhat nervous, because of other ratings that were negative. So relieved when they got here and I tried them. They taste like oven baked cheddar bites-which I really like. If you ordered them thinking they were going to be exactly like potato chips, you would be disappointed. I have been on a low carb diet since Feb now and look for snack type items, with crunchy being a big plus-these are very tasty and I will definitely be getting them again. (as well as trying some of the other flavors!) They are salty, which I like. I have to disclose however that my DH is not as happy with them as I am -we do have a tendancy to like opposite flavors. So for me that just means more for my lunch pail. But if you are like me and scrape the cheese off the cookie sheet when your baking has some overflow-you will probably really like these. Only rated them 4 star because of DH -who still ate them by the by and said he would rate them as ok, so since I would say 5 star. Compromise, right? |
109,471 | I have been trying to find a green tea that tastes good, well this is it. Green tea is supose to be good for you and this one taste great. |
109,472 | I love Popchips. They are delicious and I can't believe one bag is only 100 calories. The flavors are great although I am not a fan of salt and pepper. I would highy recommend as a way to try the different flavors. I am sure you will love them too. |
109,473 | I drink only flavored coffee. Thus far, my favorites are Gloria Jean's Butter Toffee; Timothy's German Chocolate Cake; Van Houtte's Chocolate Raspberry Truffle and Spicy Mayan Chocolate. The last one was my No. 1 favorite, so I was heartbroken to learn that it has been discontinued. I am currently rationing each precious K-Cup from my very last box of 24.
Two days ago, I saw and purchased my first box of Folger's Vanilla Biscotti, (Who knew that Folger's made K-cups?) It's too soon to know for certain, but there is a good chance this flavor will make my list of favorites. The good news is that Target sells it and other 18 count boxes of Folger K-Cups for $10.85. That means you can buy 36 for $21.70. Compare that to the greedy sellers on this page who get $48.46 and $43.04 (with shipping) respectively. |
109,474 | This product is definitely for licorice lovers. There is an abudance of flavor and a slightly dense texture which I prefer over softer, or gummy versions of licorice candies. That makes this particular brand and form of licorice my very top choice at present. I think it's unlikely I'll find one I like more any time soon. I don't buy it often, but when I'm really in the mood for a licorice flavored treat this is the one for me. Well done Haribo! |
109,475 | Nutiva is a company based out of Sebastopol.... California. Their hemp seed is excellent for stir fries, salads, and their 13 ounce pouches last awhile. I've used their hemp seed as a substitute for sesame seed in stir fries in Simply in Season Expanded Edition (World Community Cookbook), as well as in the Mayan Wonder Bars and Rasta Pasta Primavera in Vegan Fusion World Cuisine: Extraordinary Recipes & Timeless Wisdom from the Celebrated Blossoming Lotus Restaurants. It's versatile and has a subtle nutty flavor. They add extra protein. Nutritious and delicious! |
109,476 | I've tried a few Tasty Bites, and this one is good. Not great, but good. The flavor was a bit one-sided - lentils and cumin were all I tasted. I'll eat it again, but I will probably add a cutney or some ginger/cilantro/tomatoes to the mix to change the flavor a bit. You have to like cumin (I do) to like this dish - there were a lot of whole cumin seeds in it. |
109,477 | I have to admit when I read 'made from dried coconuts...melts in your mouth", I thought this would be freeze-dried coconut bits for snacking. I did not expect the jar of heaven instead........
I reviewed Artisana 100% Organic Raw Coconut Butter -- 16 oz, I've used it as my go-to spread for flax seed microwave muffins, and especially love it in yellow curry (or any curry for that matter!). I had not found another brand that I liked better for taste. Until now.
I've been a faithful user of Nutiva coconut oil for a long time, buying it by the 5 gallon pail. If you love Nutiva coconut oil, imagine that wonderful coconut smell amplified a thousandfold. Imagine now, the coconut manna, which TASTES like that smell. It's so good, you can actually eat it on a spoon straight out of the jar. It does not have the high particulate content like the Artisana, instead this is very smooth and creamy yet it's substantial in your mouth. It also made my curry recipe FINALLY taste like the one from the Thai restaurant that we gave up for budgetary reasons.
If you are searching for THE perfect coconut butter, THIS is your stuff! Don't even bother wasting a cent on any other brand, get this! There are instructions on the jar for tempering in case your product separates, but mine arrived perfectly blended even though the outside temperature was way above its melting point. It was easy to scoop out (and eat right out of the jar). I even put some of this on top of my sunny-side-up eggs right before removing from the skillet, and it made them taste even better!
Love this and it will forever be on my reorder list! THANKS NUTIVA for yet another great product! |
109,478 | Need that coffee but a pot of fresh-brewed just isn't available? Starbucks VIA Ready Brew Italian Roast Coffee (I also like the Columbian) is a good alternative. And this 50 count package is the way to make these cups economical. Just ordered my third 50 pack... easy to take when traveling, camping, and as an "emergency drink" at the office (our coffee shop closes much too early).
Enjoy! |
109,479 | This is probably an acquired taste, but growing up in England I acquired it. It makes a plate of cold cuts or cheese so much more tasty. It consists of a slightly thickened, tasty, brown sauce containing chopped pickle-like material (about twice the size of pieces in pickle relish but there the resemblance to relish ends. It's great to be able to get this delivered - I used to buy bottles to bring back from England but it's heavy to lug in one's suitcase - and there's the danger of breakage - it's best to put it on your cheese before you put it on your clothes. |
109,480 | I never thought there was any difference between brands when it came for coconut milk, so I would always go for the cheapest option; usually Goya. It wasn't until the grocery store was out of Goya one day and I had no other option but to try Thai Kitchen did my misconception become startlingly clear. This coconut milk so perfectly smooth and creamy, whereas cheaper brands tend to be a bit lumpier. Additionally, by some miracle, it has none of the harsh aftertaste that plagues so many coconut products. It's just pure coconut essence, subtly but naturally sweet. Now it's the only kind I'll buy! It's a bit of a splurge in comparison to budget or store brands, but it's entirely worth it. It will enhance your cooking like nothing else! |
109,481 | I was looking very long time for my favorite rose hip jam; and I finally found it at Amazon. The very best rose hip jam! Perfect pasty consistence. I would definitely recommend it. |
109,482 | This is my preferred tomato sauce. It is full-flavored, not tart, and actually tastes like fresh Roma tomatoes. It's what my Italian sister-in-law uses. So, what more can one say?
Tip: use a scissors to cut the top flap off and pull the cartoon open. If you snip the corners and pour from the little spout you'll make a bit of a mess. |
109,483 | It seems like some of the best products are either discontinued or hard to find. This one is hard to find. I use it to marinate prime rib roasts/steaks while cooking it all in a crockpot. My family says it is better than what they eat at nice restaurants. I am very satisfied with this order. |
109,484 | very little of either, green tea or honey. It's mostly sweetner, real and artificial, with a touch of tea power. I was really disappointed. |
109,485 | This Pad Thai doesn't taste like what you'd have at a restaurant, but take into account that many traditional Pad Thai recipes call for 1/2 a cup of oil and McDougall products strictly avoid oils.
The taste of this is spicy and lemony. The noodles are pretty good. Not my favorite McDougall soup but great if you need something low fat and fast. |
109,486 | I bought this balsamic vinegar to try it, since I have previously bought the Gold version from the same company (La Piana Gold Quality Aged Balsamic Vinegar PGI) and loved it. This one does not come anywhere near the quality of the Gold. It is closer to the pricier balsamics from Trader Joe's (which are around $5 instead of $20) than to a nice balsamic. The Silver is fairly sour, the sweetness barely comes through. As for viscosity, it's very thin - if you're looking for the more syrupy kind of balsamic, this is not it.
Given the small increase in price, it is completely worth it to go ahead and buy the Gold and not waste your time and money trying the Silver. |
109,487 | Bought this box of chips as a Father's Day gift because Dad loves them. They are very yummy and more substantial than regular chips. |
109,488 | The product looked good in the packaging and tasted great. I used some in gift baskets and they were well recieved. Will probably buy more for the holidays. |
109,489 | I had never heard of Yellow Label. I was looking for Lipton Loose Leaf, which is difficult to find in markets. Ordered this from (fulfilled by) Amazon to check it out. It is a 'gunpowder' style and tastes better than regular Lipton Loose. A smaller gunpowder than you find in gourmet tea stores, but an excellent tea at a reasonable price. |
109,490 | The product was such a great price, and it made my food taste so good. I had a hard time finding this product elsewhere. |
109,491 | I bought one tray of these pasties hoping my to satisfy family's sweet tooth with something healthier than candy. These are exactly what I hoped. They are good and satisfying so we're happy to have them and we don't eat too much. Since these are made of nuts and honey, they are also more nutritious than the candy we are used to buying.
This tray is a good sampler of the different items we can buy separately when we need more.
I recommend this stuff. It would be a great tray to bring to a holiday party. |
109,492 | Wow! First thing you taste is the real ginger, crisp and well balanced by the other botanicals and agave. I'm saving my last bottle for a bourbon and Q Ginger! Awesome recipe. The people at Q deserve a toast. |
109,493 | We just love these. They were fresh. Cost same price as when we purchase them in the store. The best part is we didn't need to leave home to get them. |
109,494 | This licorice has a heft to it that screams quality. It's not the plasticky kind of licorice you've come to know through Red Vines and Twizzlers, this here is quality candy and it shows on the outside and through the taste and texture. Each piece of licorice looks like a little ruby tube of wonder and the flavor just explodes in your mouth. That said, I couldn't make it through an entire pack in less than a month. One piece will have you set for some time. Really enjoyed it, highly recommended! |
109,495 | I've researched the ingredients and I think this is a high quality, clean product. But it's better for the cats if you add water to it, as even a vet on their website mentions. High-protein dry food is too dehydrating otherwise (all dry food wears on kidneys and urinary system). |
109,496 | I have been using Weightless Tes for a couple of years now and along with some other healthy choices it totally aids in digestion and keeking your system clear. I helps to flush it so you can keep your weight down as well. It tastes delicious. |
109,497 | In fact, this was not like my mother's soup, this was exactly my mother's soup. And I believe, it was her only soup. She did prefer Streit's products Streits, Soup Mix Split Pea, 6-Ounce (12 Pack) but Manischewitz was certainly acceptable in a pinch.
Now, I am the first to admit that to write a review praising my mother's cooking is more than a bit odd. If you knew her, only the greatest amount of good breeding and rigorous diplomacy would permit you to ever so slightly lift an eyebrow while biting your tongue upon hearing my mother described as a good cook. You might even avert your head and laugh quietly to yourself. No matter, my mother was the first to admit her lack of culinary expertise. Her talents lay decidedly in the making of reservations, which she did with great accuracy and enthusiasm.
I am not saying that she didn't cook; after all she had a family to feed. She cooked healthy and simple things that were flavorful. Things that didn't take all day and weren't extremely complicated. That's where this soup comes in.
These cello packed soup kits have been around forever. To my grandmother these packs were considered fast food! Imagine being able to pour a single package of dry ingredients into a pot of boiling water and have decent soup in two hours. My grandmother made this soup when she needed to make something fast. My mother made this soup and considered it cooking.
Pea soup was her favorite, although the Vegetable with Mushroom MANISCHEWITZ Vegetable Cello Soup Mix with Mushrooms, 6-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 24)was also served. Strictly speaking, this is what is called "Soup Starter", meaning that you are supplied with all the dry ingredients necessary to make a very good soup. All you have to do is add boiling water and stir in the little mysterious packet of spices at the end.
If you want a superior soup, you need to add stuff to the base; stuff lying around in the fridge. Like the turkey carcass after Thanksgiving dinner. Or meat bones, or cubed meat or sliced franks or chicken stock or fresh vegetables like sliced carrots and onions and chopped Italian parsley. The sky's the limit, really.
An additional benefit is that this product has the shelf life of forever. It never seems to go bad. You can have a completely empty fridge and a single cello pack of pea soup in your kitchen cabinet and voila in two hours you can feed four hungry people. |
109,498 | With all the great reviews of this red popcorn, I wanted to love it. But frankly, I was underwhelmed. It's a hassle with an air popper, as the kernels tend to fly out before they've popped. What does pop is rather small. I would not buy this popcorn again. The purple is much better. |
109,499 | I used to get this at my local super market. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find this 10 minute version of Cream of Wheat on any store shelves for years. The instant and 2 1/2 minute stuff really sucks so I was thrilled when I found it on Amazon. I was so happy I bought eight boxes (a years supply).
I would recommend you buy all you can of this so that it ensures this product will continue to be produced. I know I am. |
