116,000 | I dont recommend them at all, the package that arrives doesnt worth that amount of money and it took a bit longer than it should. the portion of the chocolate is too little |
116,001 | i purchased the giant gummy bear on a stick for the Girlfriend, on valentines day. Apperance wise she loved it, but as soon as she was done eating the bears ears, she stopped. Being sweet and polite she told me she was full, but i bought this knowing she loves gummy bears and i finally got it out of her, that it had a bad aftertaste. Thank god i didnt buy the 5lb one, otherwise i would be writing letters to president giant gummy bear. All and all i don't regret buying it, because just the look on the loved ones face when they first see the giant blob of high fructose corn syrup and sugar is worth it! |
116,002 | I use this to make muffins along with the wheat bran from Bergin Nut Company. I add this to other recipes as well, trying to sneak in a little extra fiber into my family's diet. You cannot beat the freshness and quality of this oat bran, along with the price! |
116,003 | What's to say about the crackers - Carr's are the best water crackers. The 5 star rating relates to the price - much, much less expensive than either the grocery store or warehouse store (which usually don't carry Carr's). |
116,004 | Cafe Bustelo Coffee Espresso, 10-Ounce Bricks (Pack of 4)
I have been a long time customer...begining use while living in the florida keys...since living in oklahoma, colorado, louisiana and texas it has been necessary to order the coffee...sometimes not available where lived or too expensive where lived...we really enjoy the product and after 10 years of usuage, have not found another brand that meets the top quality of cafe bustelo. |
116,005 | I was looking for some traditional Nori Make but it's hard to come by in the states. I chose this and was a bit disappointed by how dense the cracker was. In my opinion, they should be light and fluffy but this was very heavy. The taste was great, though, and I devoured them in way too short a time. |
116,006 | This is a great bowl for my pets water!
It isn't heavy. It holds a lot of water. When placed outside neither the bowl or the water get hot- which is what I didn't like about the metal bowls. |
116,007 | I love the combination of chocolate and banana, and these bars are both chocolaty and banana-y. I do like my bananas ripe, which may come across as "burned" to some, but the banana taste is perfect for me here, and the chocolate chips add just a touch of chocolate without making the bars too sweet. Kids love them too. I just wish they held together better - eat them outside or over a napkin. |
116,008 | My BFF is a trauma Vet and she was treating her dog with these and so I tried them with my dogs and they went BONKO for them. Figures the Vet would know what is best.
My dogs both LOVE these treats, beyond any other, has been the best training treat to date, they are the size of a quarter and break in half and to 1/4 size easily which works great for training - and my dogs love even the smallest nibble of them - they seem pricy but it is well worth it!
I have decided these are the doggie equivalent of Doritos or potato chips - they cannot get enough and always respond for training with them ! |
116,009 | This review refers to Crown Prince Natural Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water;No Salt(pack of 12)
I had previously bought the Crown Prince canned salmon(also no salt added) and was very happy with it. Everything about it was good. Smelled good, looked good and tasted good. So I decided to give the Tuna a try as well. The tuna was exactly the opposite. Smelled awful, looked horrible(very dark and chunky), and wasn't good tasting at all. It wasn't that it smelled or tasted rotten or anything, just not like good quality Albacore tuna should.
We are always on the look out for a good deal on low or no-salt items. They always run so high in the store, even for a tiny can of low-sodium tuna, you pay twice as much as one that is full of salt. These large cans came to a really good deal, and as I see from the other reviews, they enjoyed these. Maybe we got a bad batch or something, but after trying out 2 cans we know we won't buy this - or eat this - anymore.
My husband is the one who really likes tuna. I could take or leave it(usually leaving it). He usually went through 2 cans a week of the regular tuna we bought at the store, but, even he was disappointed by this stuff.
So I'm not recommending this not so "princely" tuna;if there is one batch of poor quality packed, there is probably others. It's too much money to throw away by taking another chance. For right now, I'll stick with the 2 cans of Star-Kist or Chicken of the Sea we buy each week at the market.
Thanks.....Laurie |
116,010 | I'm not much of a soda fan. In fact, about the only carbonated beverage I'm usually interested in is Fever Tree tonic water with Tanqueray or Cuervo gold. After reading some reviews I thought I'd try this. Glad I did. It is a different tasting soda. I especially like it with a shot of brandy for a refreshing, sophisticated cocktail. |
116,011 | I've been having an extremely hard time feeding my 3 and 5 year olds. It seems no matter what I put in front of them, they turn their noses up.
Although, I didn't notice any difference from any other pasta out there, because of the vibrant colors my kids gobbled this up. The ingredients look all natural and it tasted great.
I will be buying this again. |
116,012 | The transaction when fast and the price is good, especially compared to other offers. thanks! |
116,013 | These are Grrrreat rolled oats. They have a surprising amount of flavor, and the texture is the best. Warning, do NOT overcook them. In a 1000 watt microwave, about 90 seconds is plenty for a single serving, unless you just really like mushy gruel. <grin> |
116,014 | I am a big dried pineapple fan and I have to say that not only is this a great deal, its delicious! Only problem is that its so good that I eat more then 1 pack at a time. Im not sure how Amazon stores or packs the product though, I found small bugs in the box. The pineapple is in a sealed bag so it was fine. |
116,015 | I purchased Lehua honey from Amazon for a special event. It arrived on time, was very fresh with just the right amount of thickness. It's delightfully sweet without being too strong or tangy. |
116,016 | good salt- what else is there to say? it is better than the run of the mill table salt,more flavor. just be careful you don't use too much. |
116,017 | I had my nieces and nephews over and we all really enjoyed this pizza kit. They had a blast choosing their own toppings, and the best part the pizza is great!! |
116,018 | This chip taste great. If you're watching your weight you can't beat the calorie count for a bag. Great low calorie snack food that I have to hide from my 16 year old son because he can eat a case in about three days! |
116,019 | Well i was a little hesitant due to the price, and because i wasn't sure if i wanted that many bottles in one go. Shouldn't have worried though, as the taste makes the price worthwhile, and the amount is convenient since i keep drinking it non-stop.
Although it says it's ok to leave the bottles out of the refrigerator if not opened, i stored mine in the fridge. Since it taste exactly the same way the first bottle i tried when i received them, i'm thinking it's better this way.
This may be a little TMI, but they might be people like me who have the same trouble, so i'll say it. If you have trouble with constipation or hemorrhoids, this is perfect way to regulate yourself and make it easier. Sure you could stuff yourself with a bunch of fiber pills everyday, and probably accomplish the same results, but if you hate taking pills this work as a natural alternative. |
116,020 | The first time I ordered this it was heavenly. The beans were dark brown and oily, smell divine, and the brew was caramely, smooth and perfect!
So, I splurged and ordered another bag and claimed that it would be my weekend coffee.
I was greatly disappointed with my Saturday morning brew. The second bag, the beans were light tan, and lacked that oily sheen, and smelled slightly bitter. The brew was lacking depth, and slightly bitter, not much better than a grocery store medium colombian roast. Now, I don't even want to brew it.
The product is too pricey to risk product consistency and I will not purchase it again. |
116,021 | I've tried them all: stevia, sucanat, brown rice syrup, malt syrup. Agave nectar is the best. It tastes just like sugar, and no after taste like stevia. Check out the book Baking With Agave Nectar by Ania Catalano - a must have! |
116,022 | This is quite a tasty, delightful and healthy meal. For the health-conscious, and taste conscious, this product satisfies on all levels. Nice. |
116,023 | Add this with the linkettes and your family can enjoy a hotdog with chili that is healthy and as good as any. To make the chili I add olive oil, onion and ketchup. You really need to add oil to this in any kind of frying pan situation to keep it from sticking. The only downfall here is it looks a little like cheap canned dog food but once it's out of the can the appeal surfaces. |
116,024 | I've been using a tub of the tangy orange flavor for the last 6 months and its been great. Pretty good flavor, no bad aftertaste, seems to have performance and recovery benefits.
I ordered tropical fruit the other day and I'm not sure what to think. I read a review that said some flavors taste like soap. I didn't believe this, but here I sit, with a soapy aftertaste in my mouth. I'm not sure I want my mouth to taste like soap 50 miles into a bike ride.
This new batch is CytoSport's new formula with Stevia. I don't know if the tropical fruit flavor tastes bad, or if the new formula tastes bad, but its certainly terrible. I don't think stevia tastes like soap, so I'm confused about the flavor.
Please fix this CytoSport, I wanted to be a fan. |
116,025 | The Original Dirty Sue Dirty Martini Mix was o.k., but just a bit "too" dirty, for my taste. In order for the martini to be more to my liking, more vodka had to be added. After two martinis, I was blitzed or well on my way!
When following the directions,on the bottle, for mixing a martini it tasted as if it was totally olive brine.
The mix will suffice "in a pinch". |
116,026 | I've been gluten free for about 4 years and I've really missed chocolate cake. No matter what I've tried it's gritty or just doesn't have a deep and satisfying taste. I picked this up at a natural food store, always willing to try something new if it's chocolate.
WOW! I made cupcakes, and frosted them with dark chocoate frosting. Unbelievably good! The first time I made these I forgot to add the water, they turned out like a rich chocolate brownie (that's okay too!). They are full of flavor, have just the right amount of sweetness and do not taste like a typical gluten free product. This is priceyer than other GF mixes but trust me, worth every penny!! |
116,027 | The Omaha Steaks were ordered as a Christmas present and the person who got them loved them! They may be expensive, but wow are they good! |
116,028 | My husband loves strong Caribou coffee but I like the milder one or "breakfast
type. I will drink this but Caribou of all kinds is a great coffee,no matter
how strong. It will not disappoint. |
116,029 | The food is probably good, but it gave my dog severe diarrhea...I ended up feeding all of it to her, sometimes decent, usually mushy. It sucked! But she really did like the food, so I say it's a pretty good item if your dog can digest Beef and Rice Properly. My dog digs Lamb and rice =\ |
116,030 | nothing spectacular as far as coffee goes, have had others that taste far better. but with flavored creamer the taste improves. My biggest complaint was the way it was shipped, I wasn't impressed with how the box arrived at my door. It was heavily beat up and the seal was barely hanging on. |
116,031 | I have used this product very successfully many times before (mixed in with Party Animal canned food as a topping on Acana kibble) when my dogs needed some extra fiber but I always bought it from a pet store. One of my dogs had diarrhea, and then the medication the vet prescribed plus the bland diet of white rice and boiled chicken promptly caused constipation. After 3 days of not "going" I knew I needed to get some pumpkin again. Since my work schedule this week was such that I couldn't make it to the pet store until the weekend and I didn't want to wait that long, I decided to check if Amazon might have it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that yes indeed they do, and at a much lower price than I had been paying (+ free shipping since I have the Prime membership). I was, however, turned off by the several negative reviews of the cans being shipped severely dented. At the end I decided to order anyway, figuring that I can always return the defective cans. Well, I am glad I did! My order arrived the next day, and every single can was in perfect condition - not a scratch or the tiniest dent on any of them - with expiration date Sept. 2014. I am stocked up and ready for the next tummy trouble. (Oh, and since it contains nothing else but 100% organic pumpkin, I have also used it to make pumpkin pancakes for us humans. Delicious! :-) |
116,032 | The absolute best tasting granola out there. Not your grandma granola that's for sure. You can tast the quality in every bite. |
116,033 | This is wonderful chocolate.
It's equivalent to a fine wine.
I would not recommend anyone to go from milk chocolate or 50% to this, work your way up (states that right on the package) and it's meant to eat in small amounts.
Chocolate in this form is healthy! |
116,034 | The product does the job it claims to do. However, like any other energy drinks, I feel concern about the content. The bottle is small and the letters on the bottle on the ingredients section are very hard to read.
No one knows what is in the 1600mg of what they called "Energy blend", and you just don't know what non-you are swallowing, or whether it will hurt your body down the line.
Again, it does boost my energy, but I will take it consciously, and do more research if I were to continue taking it. |
116,035 | Just opened my first can for dinner last night. The gravy is very tasty without being overly salty. Meat was tender and tasty as well. Excellent emergency/camping/long term storage food. It heats easily and can be combined to make many dishes. I had the traditional roast beef and potatoes last night, but already have plans to make a nice roast beef sandwich with melted cheese and onions soon.
Thumbs up on this one! |
116,036 | When exploring more vegetarian cooking, I noted in Mark Bittman's vegetarian cookbook that he recommends grapeseed oil for stir fry dishes. It was in the context of experimenting with adding tofu to our diets that I reflected upon this. One of the dishes I wanted to explore was tofu stir fry. I bought another grapeseed oil product and enjoyed its usefulness greatly. But it was in a small bottle and quickly ran out.
Then, I purchased Mantova Grape Seed Oil. I am also very satisfied with this product. One of Grapeseed oil's great strengths is that it has a higher heating temperasture than, say, olive oil. So you don't get smoking nearly as quickly. I have been very pleased as I have used this with tofu stir fry, and I expect it to continue to perform well in the future.
And the price is pretty friendly to boot! The first Grapeseed Oil that I bought from a local store did its job well, but it was pricier than this product.
So, I'm a pretty happy customer! |
116,037 | ASIN B000LKVT4U - A friend of mine owns an organic grocery store near me, and she's always introducing me to new foods and drinks I've never heard of - usually these introductions don't go too well. Vruit's Orange Veggie Blend is a surprising exception.
Falling into the newly-popular vegetable drinks that taste fruity, Vruit is a bit overpriced on the store shelves for what it is, particularly since it's not alone on that shelf. Amazon's price is quite good, and with free shipping, you can't go wrong. Vruit loses points from me, though, because - as an all natural product whose largest consumer base is likely to be the organic, save-the-planet crowd - it bothers me that the stuff comes in single-serving juice boxes instead of a less-packaging, more-eco-friendly recyclable bottle.
The Orange Veggie Blend actually reminds me of an apricot juice, although a bit more tart. There isn't exactly an after-taste, but there is an after-effect, in that my mouth feels a bit puckered and strangely dry after I drink one. Healthy? Yes. Tasty? Surprisingly, yes. Thirst-quenching? Not really. A glass of cold water goes further and doesn't require me to sip from a tiny straw like a toddler. I won't be buying these any time soon, but I'll still recommend them to others!

116,038 | I bought this for Christmas. It is a Spanish ham and more or less as advertised. It does not come with the hoof on as pictured but comes with a ham-stand and knife (jamonero)which was a very nice addition. Now this is a bit pricey if compared to what it would sell for in Spain (around 70$)--shipping and import etc. would obviously add quite a bit to the cost but this much... I don't think so. |
116,039 | This product is fantastic for when you are traveling with a baby. Instead of heving to search for clean water or having to wash a dirty bottle in a public sink, you can just open this, add formula, shake and serve. Love it! |
116,040 | Delicious drink without being sugary. Healthy and nutritious. My family drinks it like water.
No problem since it's better than what we used to drink. Tastes like its right out of the coconut. |
116,041 | Not that I've ever eaten sawdust. But this just might be a good comparison. Very dry and no taste. I'm surprised this one ever got off the ground with Mrs. Mays. |
116,042 | I bought a whole bunch of these in early 2010 & they are still fresh now mid 2012. I only have a few jars left but the ones I've been opening still seem fresh and just as good as when I bought them in 2010. |
116,043 | Simply heaven, Earl Grey notes, orange and lemon peel with lovely blue flower!!!
La vraie decadence!!!
Enjoy!!! |
116,044 | Even though I just did a review for Barry Farm, which is a highly reputable supplier, for their INSTANT non-fat dry milk powder... I ACTUALLY prefer the NON-instant dry milk powder.
One reviewer sought for their ingredient list. I pointed out that the ingredient list IS actually (the label) on the package; the product is simply dry milk powder (whether instant, as in that case, or non-instant in this one).
I added: The fact these powders taste sweet may also be a very good indication they products are FRESH. Since any dry milk only has a 6-month shelf life, you seldom want to purchase large quantities. Only buy quantities you will use within 6 months. Whereas, any classic off-taste people dislike about powdered milk is when the dry milk is old.
Another reviewer stated she makes superior YOGURT with non-instant powdered milk, which I do too.
(Tips & Techniques...)
For any who wish for information how to reconstitute this product.
Combining 2 1/2 Tbsp NON-instant powder with 1 cup water = 1 cup milk (should be correct).
The easiest way to blend, is with an immersion blender. Amazon offers one by Cuisinart, at an affordable price see Cuisinart CSB-77 Smart Stick Hand Blender with Whisk and Chopper Attachments.
I wish to add that I also make Better Baking Buttermilk (aka: BBB) with non-instant powdered milk, to make much better breads! For more cooking tips and techniques, simply do a search for my name Sharon Anne, i.e. cooking and sharonanne. |
116,045 | This stuff is so bad, you may as well call it 'crap in a packet'. There are few words to describe the Walden Farms dressings/sauces, that can be printed here on Amazon. If Clorox made mouth rinse, I'd need it after tasting these chemical bombshells. |
116,046 | Compared with about 20 other types of K-Cups I've test-driven in various samplers, this is one of the weakest. Even making a "mug" size (medium setting, not large) in my Keurig produces a very weak cup of coffee.
The hazelnut flavoring is superb as hazelnut flavorings go, and it's at the perfect taste level, but the coffee is substandard.
If you want a hot cup of hazelnut, I'd suggest going with a better K-Cup coffee maker -- Timothy's, Diedrich's, Newman's, Coffee People, Green Mountain, etc. -- and then pouring in some Frangelico.... =)
It's sad because Gloria Jeans has been around FOREVER and had tons of shops in the area I grew up in 30 years ago. I hate to pan an old friend! |
116,047 | Excellent ginger snap! Arrived quickly to military post in Afghanistan, at a reasonable price. We don't have gingerale or ginger snaps available locally, so it was great to get these for days when my stomach is upset. |
116,048 | This is a remarkably versatile product. The description is for a salad dressing but in reality it is good for so much more.
Things I have tried this with:
Salad Dressing - Great Success
Pasta Salad (Dry sprinkle) - Great Success (Especially with Zucchini and Squash!)
On Chicken - Tastes really good
As a Dip for bread with Olive Oil - Tasty
Overall this is a very tasty and versatile seasoning. It goes the furthest when used as a salad dressing (64 servings) but dry it is good and goes pretty par as well. The only negative I had was the strength of the flavors could have been a bit stronger. I found my self adding a bit of fresh parsley or red pepper to a few things to add a stronger flavor.
At the price an excellent value and very good product. 4 stars. |
116,049 | I have been using these terrific bio-degradeable tall kitchen trash bags for several years and was pleased to find them for a better price on Amazon. The only downside to this product is that it will start dissolving if loaded up with wet or damp trash so beware. The bags are more fragile than other trash bags but well worth any inconvenience as they are sooooo much better for the environment. |
116,050 | I purchased a pound of feta cheese. When it arrived, it appeared lighter than a pound. I have two digital scales. I weighed the cheese on both scales. Both scales reflected a weight of 14 ounces. That is certainly not the 16 ounces, (a pound), that I paid for so I was not happy. Two ounces do not seem like a lot to be concerned about, but you should get what you pay for when you order from a company by weight. I do not appreciate the fact that I was not given the full pound of cheese. |
116,051 | Okay, but I don't think I'd buy it if I saw it in the store, natural ingredients or not. However, for those of you who are into licorice, this does taste like licorice, not the licorice I'm used to, there is a hint of something else, pomegranate they say, but I couldn't tell. And I'm wondering if Paul Newman were still with us, if this would be branded Newman's own. |
116,052 | These 12 oz bags are being sold at TJ Max for 5.99, and I bought two. Just tasted my first brew... Like another reviewer said, this is not the typical flavor offered from the dark selection like french roast, sumatra, etc. It's a different sensation, one I'll have to get used to because I have two bags. It still has that strong burnt-like roast taste but with different undertones. Taste is subjective. You may like it. For me, it's not an instant hit! |
116,053 | I had heard this was wonderful canned food, so I tried it for my very fussy schnauzer. I was first surprised to see a layer of fat on the top when I opened the can....I scraped that off and added a couple spoonfuls to her dry....and she sniffed it and walked away. She does seem to like the Merrick BG dry food. I chose the buffalo flavor and my girl says this is a winner. |
116,054 | Awesome value for the money. Ordred a second one at the end of the summer and still have not opened it. Tastes as good as some of the more popular brands. |
116,055 | Love this product! I'm glad that it is more "natural" than Equal or Splenda, though it is pricier. Amazon's price is better than health food stores, though. |
116,056 | I've had popchips before from local delis and stores, but only ever had the BBQ and Sour Cream and Onion. I was pleasantly surprised by the Salt and Pepper and the Cheddar flavors. The plain flavor is exactly what is expected. By itself it's mediocre, but with dips it's delicious. I'm not a fan of the Sea Salt and Vinegar. My friends enjoyed the flavor, but I didn't. To be expected, it comes down to personal preference.
The texture of popchips are great. They are light and crispy and a nice change from regular chips.
Before buying the big box, I would recommend finding them locally and trying a bag to sample the flavors. Many reviewers note the strong BBQ flavor (much like I didn't like the Salt and Vinegar).
Packaging comes straight from popchips. I had no issues with broken chips or crushed bags. Signed up for subscribe and save! |
116,057 | This soup is pretty good.
There is nothing wrong with it.
I only wish it could be slightly thicker.. If you use one or two cans of this soup in a big bowl, it should be thicker and not so watered down.
Add some salt, pepper, and tabasco, and you have an extremely tasty meal that takes a coupe of minutes to heat up. I don't heat up in the metal/plastic container. I pour everything into a microwave save bowl, then heat it up half way, then stir, then continue. (Total time is about 3-4 minutes on 1000 watt microwave)... I'm not kidding you. You add in the salt, pepper, and tabasco like they do in restaurants, and you can't tell the difference between this stuff, and the stuff they make on fisherman's wharfs. No joke.
4/5 stars because it should be thicker. But what a deal! |
116,058 | I've often said that the Japanese have some of the most interesting snack foods - and this one doesn't disappoint! A soft marshmallow surrounds a thick paste that tastes very much like a flan-style pudding. It's very sweet, but then it says 'marshmallow' and 'pudding' - sweet should be expected.
Very nice treat - I wish I had ordered more! |
116,059 | these bags are great and leak proof! also, i love the rainbow of colours! i would be lost without them :) |
116,060 | I like this Ketchup and the easy squeeze bottles make it fun to use.
I have eaten this ketchup for many years and enjoy it. |
116,061 | I have really enjoyed other Dr. McDougall products, but not this one. It was really bland and needs to be cooked longer than on the directions. I gave it 2 tries, but couldn't finish either. |
116,062 | Claey's Lemon Drops are hard to find. When I come upon them in a store, I grab a dozen or so if I can. I was very pleased to discover them on Amazon.com, and we've already ordered a few times -- sharing them with very pleased friends! They have a nice lemon flavor, with no weird after-taste.
If you like lemon hard candy, give Claey's Lemon Drops a try, and you won't be disappointed. |
116,063 | I have used this product for years and find it to be easy to use and makes some of the best Belgian waffles. |
116,064 | My dog loves these and they were fairly reasonable in price. I didn't like having to purchase so may bags at once, but it does keep them fresh. I will purchase again. |
116,065 | Great tasting coconut oil that we use in curries or most everything really! Very healthy alternative to margarine, or other 'fake' spreads. I have never used it as a replacement for butter or anything but I hear it tastes very good. The only downfall I can think of is that it comes in a plastic container, but I am sure the price would be more if the company decided to switch to glass. All in all, its a great price for a good product. Will probably only purchase if very cheap and on special on Amazon, otherwise there are several other brands that come to mind that I will use more regularly due to glass jar like Tropical Traditions which tastes amazing and is my favourite coconut oil! :) But for the price I got it for I was happy. |
116,066 | I've been eating this hot cereal for breakfast regularly. I find it to be substantial and filling. Adding fruit, nuts or maple syrup and popping it into the microwave makes a quick 2 minute breakfast. |
116,067 | I enjoy a good cup of Arabica coffee and this coffee does not disappoint. You need to use the double insert because this pod has about twice the normal amount which provide a strong yet smooth cup like the Italian coffee I used to drink in Torino. |
116,068 | I prefer this trail mix to Kars, but it takes 4 weeks to get. The other disappointing thing, is that this item isn't offered for Subscribe and Save. Come on Amazon, lets get with it! |
116,069 | Yummy. Are these really any better for you then regular candy? Who knows. At least you can pretend. Nice size bags and great flavor. Same taste I've loved for years. |
116,070 | I was looking for a weekday bean so I could drink something decent while on-the-go and differentiate from my high quality weekend coffee. This option was less expensive and had great reviews on Amazon but this coffee is gross and not good, people! Honestly, Folgers is better tasting and less bitter. I grind my beans for each pot so I worked a little with each pot and zero change, still bitter/acidic and with a slightly bad aftertaste--this IS better than Dunkin Donuts brand take home beans. So, my hunt goes on for an inexpensive weekday coffee. Until I find something, I'll stick with my Alakef brand weekend brew all week long!

Bad: aftertaste |
116,071 | After my positive experience with Health Valley Cookie Cremes, Double Chocolate, Newman's Own Organics Newman-O'S Ginger-O's, 16-Ounce Packages, and the Newman's Own Organics Alphabet Cookies, Cinnamon, 10-Ounce Bags, I thought I would give Country Choice a go. So far, I'm "4-for-4" in ordering good organic cookies. I took a chance and bought them without trying them first. I'm happy to say I was not disappointed.
Country Choice Organic Ginger Lemon is a good tasting cookie that have all the benefits of sweetness we would expect from cookies, but lacking the artificial ingredients consistent with cookies commonly on the market. The cookies are lighter than other organic cookies I've tried, but the taste is quite strong and the cookies are sweet, a surprise from my initial introduction to organic cookies that had the flavor and consistency of the cardboard box they were stored in.
There are some points the consumer needs to know; they may be minuses for some, but they're certainly pluses for me:
1) The cookies are VERY sweet; I had to have a glass of milk with them. While I adore sweet cookies, it may turn some people off. Be mindful of that.
2) The taste of ginger is overwhelmed by the strongest taste of lemon in cookies I've ever had. To me this would be a significant minus, except that I absolutely love the lemony taste in cookies. The aroma is heavenly, but the taste is so powerful it seems almost artificial. Oddly, I can taste a hint of ginger when they're dunked in milk (any explanation from food chemists/scientists out there?). Again I love that taste, but others may not. If you want the gingery taste, you would have to be an expert food taster to find it here (in my opinion).
3) While these cookies are made with organic and natural ingredients (no hydrogenated oils or trans fats), they're still cookies: they are loaded with sugar, sodium and carbs. Two cookies pack a whopping 130 calories; 50 calories from fat. Remember, organic does not always mean healthy. And because these cookies are lighter than other organic cookies I've tried, and very tasty, it is very easy to overeat them.
4) These cookies (barely) pass my all-important "dunkability" test, where they adequately absorb milk to compliment the flavor of the cookies (Oreo's, despite their artificial ingredients, is still king in the dunkability of cookies, in my honest opinion). They taste delicious when dunked, but these cookies begin to fall apart quickly, so holding them under milk for a length of time could be problematic.
Given the minuses I've indicated, you wonder: why do I give it four stars. Simple: I love them. Taste, like beauty, is in the eye (or palate) of the beholder. And I can't get enough of them. While my opinion is unquestionably biased, I try to give as much unbiased information on the product as I can. Use it to make your decision.
As with all Amazon grocery products, I recommend going to a supermarket or specialty store (Whole Foods, for example), buy a single pack and sample the cookies before you buy the entire case. I took a gamble and bought the case untested; it's a gamble that has paid dividends for me. |
116,072 | We love the gummy-like chews, they are sweet and a little tart, and great for a quick pick-up. Good for traveling, not too much in a bag to carry around. They are a little sticky so I just push them out of the pouch into my mounth. They are very chewy but not like a solid gumdrop or swedish-fish, much softer. Good taste with vitamin C, too. |
116,073 | I am a popcorn ADDICT and this stuff is great. Crunchy, tender and very flavorful. I pop the old fashioned way - in oil - and it all pops nicely. |
116,074 | I've looked and looked for a decent granola cereal, finally found it in this. You actually feel full when you are done with a bowl, and the flavor and texture are perfect. Highly recommended! |
116,075 | I bought these to cover the cake pops I made for gifts. When melting it was done easy in a microwave, stirring often to not allow it to become over heated. Heated in the microwave and placed over hot water to keep melted while I was doing the dipping. I was very pleased with the coverage on the cake pops. Some white coating does not cover well over say a chocolate cake pop. So this was an easy product to use. I did think the price was a little high, but after using the product I was happy with the easy melting and coverage so decided it was worth the price. |
116,076 | I wanted a decaf espresso for an evening top-off. This it isn't, but a nice flavor if a small portion is brewed. Should probably be labeled Espresso Roast (like Starbucks does). |
116,077 | Simply will not do business with a company that supports hate speech. See Rush Limbaugh. How could I continue to send flowers to people I care about, when they will be thinking about Rush Limbaugh, the woman hater when the flowers arrive. |
116,078 | The coffee was mellow with a little bite to the finish. Compares favorably to most coffees out there with just a tad more harshness. I found the packaging ridiculously difficult to open - finally taking a scissors to it. The description says "Pack of 3" but I only received 1. Overall a good coffee. |
116,079 | Coconut water with a hint of pineapple, shipped to the US from Indonesia, packaged in (usually) non-recyclable, disposable containers, and catering to the... sports drink market ("good source of electrolytes")?
I took a 8.5 ounce container and poured 6 servings, for 4 teenagers and 2 adults. First impression? The teens (serious athletes) were not told what the drink was, but I did mention that it was being marketed as a potential sports drink.
The result? No negative votes, but no one would choose it over existing drinks. Everyone recognized the pineapple flavor instantly. "It leaves a strange feeling in my mouth," one teen said. This was probably the coconut water; it had a residual flavor and feel.
There was no straw included with the package, so the opening and pouring needed the assistance of a fork or knife. It's mostly (cane) sugar water, so why bother?
But the biggest issue is the waste. Coconut sugar water from Indonesia? What's the carbon footprint of this product? And the container has 2 "recycle" symbols on it, but, like milk cartons, it is difficult to find a community that will actually keep them out of the landfill.
Bottom line? It's not that tasty, being little more than sugar water, and the transport and packaging waste really don't fit into a culture (for me) focusing on sustainability. |
116,080 | We love the 4-pepper blend from Melina's. It is fresh and adds great flavor to meats and salads. We have had increasing difficulty finding good colored peppers locally. We were pleased to find it so easily on Amazon. We will order this again. |
116,081 | IT IS A TYPICAL PURCHASE OF ENSURE. I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE HIGH SHIPPING COST. IT PAYS TO BUY MORE SO IT CAN OFF-SET THE SHIPPING COSTS -- NOT OFF-SET IT -- BUT TO SOMEWHAT JUSTIFY THE PURCHASE OF YOUR ENSURES SOMEWHAT. |
116,082 | Ok, it is double the price of my former brand, Purina One. I say "former" though for a reason. I have three cats, one of which is a Siamese who would not stop throwing up constantly. A friend of mine suggested Blue Buffalo and after going online and getting a coupon I decided to try it out. They are on their second bag and the Siamese has only thrown up once, which is an amazing difference. Also, all three cats have had a vast improvement in their fur. Their fur is so much softer now, it is hard to believe. I know it might be expensive, but try a 12 pound bag just ONCE, and you won't ever look back. |
116,083 | This treat is outstanding. It is not cloyingly sweet and has a great orange flavor.
I am not a big chocolate fan but I enjoy this very much. Make sure to really give
it a good thump on a solid surface to separate the segments. |
116,084 | I was under the impression that all three would be coming and I received one, so basically I paid almost six dollars for one little candy thing |
116,085 | This is wonderful sauce for several delicious stir-fry dishes in Fuschia Dunlop's Land Of Plenty Sichuan cookbook. Added to any stir-fry, and fried for 30 seconds in the oil, it gives a wonderful taste, even with no other spices added. Buy it, you won't be sorry. |
116,086 | My husband got this the first time from Costco's....Oh sure get us addicted to this cereal than they stopped selling it. So I tracked it down at the local healthy grocery stores. This past month I cannot find this stuff anywhere! I am not sure why. So now I will be buying it off of Amazon...well why not I order everything else from Amazon. I think it is cheaper on here too. I haven't found many cereals that taste great but this one is it! Of course I am also a pumpkin lover but it isn't overly pumkin-y (okay I made that word up). Just try it! |
116,087 | Had not been able to find this cappuccino since I moved 3 mos. ago. Finally got on Amazon and found it. LOVE this flavor and my friends love to sit around the table & talk while we're enjoying it. It gets my day started off right! |
116,088 | We got these as gifts for our friends dogs after great success on the mini-sized ones for our guys.
One of our dogs is really a picky eater. It sometimes helps if we crumble up a bit of one of these bones to sprinkle around his dinner.
Between these and pupperonis, our pups seem content (all the human table scraps don't seem to go unappreciated either). |
116,089 | Great bags ... they do not tear during use. I think that's the most important factor. :) |
116,090 | Harney and Sons does a real service to providing affordable tea. This white is very light and elegant. The bergamont is so soft. Brew your white teas with care or you may recieve a bitter cup of tea. Harney and Sons makes the great flavor of loose tea available by putting real loose tea in these little silk sachets for ease. Each tea bag, brewed properly (the directions are on the tin), can yield two cups of tea. This is my favoite white, I would whole heartedly recommend it. |
116,091 | Dodoni is a very distinct kind of feta cheese that goes well with salads and also delicious if eaten as is. Very tasteful cheese packaged well and delivered fresh on time. I am going to be a repeat customer. |
116,092 | Most of us have liked Graham crackers since we were kids. When you buy a regular box however, unless you finish them quickly, they can go stale. We've tried cookie tins, Tupperware containers, but eventually, the crackers absorb humidity and flavor, so the number one selling point of these crackers is the fact that 8 are wrapped in one stack, enough Nabisco says, for two servings. Well, maybe not, especially if you are making Smores. 4 squares equals about 1 of the old fashioned sized crackers.
And I will admit there is a taste difference between these and store brand crackers. I'd recommend this for those with younger kids to pack a lunch, a relatively healthy snack; it's easy enough to toss one of these stacks into a backpack or glove compartment to curb your appetite. |
116,093 | We have two Schnoodles, and their little tummies are pretty particular. Chef Michael's Filet Mignon Dog Food absolutely delights their little palates (I actually had to pull them away from their bowls their first few times eating!), and, the best part of all, no more tummy upsets! Well, we have an occasional loud burp right after eating because we've made such piggies of ourselves, but no more grumbling, rumbling tummies, and no more picky eating because they just don't like it. We've finally found a winner with Chef Michael's!!! |
116,094 | i was pleased with the plant itself - - BUT the vase was in a thousand little pcs! would cost to much to send back - I replanted, but not looking as good |
116,095 | We have a 126 lb Bernese Mountain Dog. He is addicted to Checkups. He will sell his soul for a "white bone." I buy them at Costco for approximately $12 for the 24-count bag. Your prices are a bit steep. |
116,096 | I found the quality of tea inconsistent. I think it is a Lipton issue rather than anything to do with Amazon.
I have had one experience like this with store-bought Lipton tea bags before. I wish I had remembered that before I ordered this.
I would recommend going in for some other tea like Tazo Awake or some other English Breakfast tea. |
116,097 | There isn't much vanilla flavor to this. I even tried increasing the milk ratio since that's where the flavor is, but it still didn't come out with any distinct vanilla-ness. It also is not as sweet as I like, so I'm doctoring every cup. Not sure if I would buy these again. The caramel latte is better. |
116,098 | I really like the bold taste of this coffee and it isn't bitter nor does it leave an aftertaste. I keep buying this coffee cause I think it's the best for the money. |
116,099 | I bought this product because it's the brand my favorite hometown coffee shop uses to make Starbucks style blended coffee drinks. To be honest though, I wasn't expecting the beverage to taste quite as good when made at home, because I don't have one of those super-expensive, industrial-quality blenders.
However, I was pleasantly surprised. I just ripped open the packet, dumped it into my cheapo blender with five ounces of milk and 12 ounces of crushed ice, hit the blend button, and a couple minutes later, viola! A Starbucks style frappy just for meeeee. Add a dash of whipped cream, a straw, and I had myself a four-dollar drink for a fraction of the price.
One thing I should add: My fridge at home dispenses crushed ice, so the ice-chunks I put into my cheapo blender were smaller than you'd get out of your average ice cube tray. I think this helped with the drink-consistency. Specifically, I'm not 100% sure the drink would've been quite as smooth and professional-feeling on the ol' tongue if I'd started with bigger ice-cubes.
But overall, I was pretty darn impressed. |
