11,800 | I love this lemonade the kiwi gives it a refreshing taste Taste really good when it's iced down plus the fact that it has kiwi bits inside it it makes me wanna by the rest of the other flavors. |
11,801 | This product is fantastic. I am a weight watcher and love peanut butter. This way I can have all of the taste without all of the calories. I use it all of the time. It makes the best smoothies. Thanks... |
11,802 | My husband is rather fussy about his coffee. He like a good strong coffee with good flavor. He loves this one. I love that the price is reasonable. I like drinking it, too. |
11,803 | I found the actual granola part to be rather bland, though I did enjoy the crunchy texture. The chocolate part is delicious in contrast to the granola. They are little chunks of good quality dark chocolate. I eat it because I have it, but it's not something I would seek to purchase.
The ingredients are mostly natural and consist of whole grains for extra fiber and nutrients. However, as with most granolas, there is a notable amount of fat (6g per 50g serving) and sugar (14g) and calories (210).
INGREDIENTS: WHOLE GRAIN ROLLED OATS, EVAPORATED CANE JUICE, SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS (SUGAR, CHOCOLATE LIQUEUR, DEXTROSE, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN), BROWN RICE FLOUR, BROWN RICE SYRUP, EXPELLER PRESSED SAFFLOWER OIL, MOLASSES, VITAMIN E (A NATURAL VITAMIN TO HELP PRESERVE FLAVOR), NATURAL FLAVOR. |
11,804 | there is not much one can say about Hawaiian punch. my kids love it. the only r eason i took off 2 stars is that i ordered 8 64 oz bottles and received 4 128 oz bottles. i need the smaller bottles so my kids can pour on their own. i will have to revert to going to the supermarket for future Hawaiian punch needs. |
11,805 | I bought Zuke's mini treats in Salmon (and then in peanut butter) to re-enforce good walking behavior for my Australian Cattle Dog, Leo. I liked the fact that they had no added chemicals and were only 2 calories each. They are similar in texture to Pup-Peroni Original Beef Recipe, 5.6-Ounces (Pack of 4), but they do not contain by-products, corn syrup, onion powder (onions are toxic to dogs), or nitrates like Pup-Peroni does. They are cut to a good size--like a pencil's eraser-- a dog does not need to eat a whole stick for a treat-- 2 seconds of flavor is 2 seconds whether its a mini treat or a stick swallowed whole. They do dry a little over time, but that's because they keep the preservatives to a minimum. Leo definitely does not seem to mind the texture change, and they retain the very strong salmon smell Leo loves.
I do, however, have one caveat for dog parents who plan to give these as training treats. For Leo, the salmon minis are what the trainers on TV call "high value" treats. It took 2 weeks for me to use them on walks at all because they made Leo too excited to walk! When I opened our first bag, the scent hit his nostrils in the next room and he came running to me in the kitchen, as if I were cooking fish or s roast. I made the mistake of saying, "I think the mail man brought a present for Leo," and he immediately started running through his entire repertoire--small though it is. He tried to sit, lie down, sit, shake with the normal paw, shake with the other paw, lie down again, sit again--you get the picture. I actually had to spend 2 weeks training him how to calm down enough to receive this treat! I still cannot let him use his teeth to take the treat because he is too excited and will inadvertently nip my fingers or the skin of my palm--I trained him to take it with his tongue. He thinks the peanut butter are wonderful, but he does not become apoplectic for them. I use the peanut butter for walking treats--he loves them enough to walk properly, even when it's raining. I save the salmon for dessert and to motivate him to stay calm in difficult situations, like bath day. |

11,807 | I used to love these crackers and bought them all the time. Even my family members who do not have to follow a gluten free diet thought they tasted good. Then the company started adding sunflower products to the ingredients. I knew with the first bite that the crackers now had an unpleasant "twang" in the taste. I gave some to the rest of my family not telling them about the awful taste. They ate them without hesitation since they had enjoyed them in the past. As soon as it hit their taste buds, they said, "YUK!"
When checking out the ingredients, to find out what had happened to these crackers, I found the sunflower addition. Unfortunately, besides the bad taste, I am allergic to sunflower products, so will no longer purchase them.
I wrote to the company asking that they return to the original recipe, but never received a reply. |
11,808 | These are definitely the best canned shrimp I've ever had. Actually I tended to avoid canned shrimp, since it's usually a pretty icky product. But I like shrimp, and I wanted to be able to have something like this on hand to throw into salads etc. conveniently.
I was really surprised by these. The can indeed is pretty full of shrimp, although of course is does have some fluid in it. I suppose you could use the broth for something if you wanted to. The shrimp are small, but they are also fresh looking, very well cleaned, plump, and smell good. They have natural looking color tones, which canned shrimp usually lack.
They taste very close to regular, larger fresh shrimp. Granted they are canned and cooked more thoroughly than one would with fresh shrimp. But even considering that, they offer a nice, full, true fresh shrimp flavor for a canned product. They don't taste fishy, too strong, weird, metallic, old, salty, or any of the other negative flavors that other canned shrimp I've tried usually have. The texture is also appealing, like fresh shrimp that have been chopped, so they have a nice, meaty but delicate texture - not mushy or rubbery. The overall effect is that you are eating freshly cooked, nicely flavored shrimp that's been diced.
It's nice to be able to keep a convenient canned shrimp on hand, since shrimp is such a healthy and low calorie, high protein food. It's surprisingly adaptable too. So far my favorite use is mixing the shrimp with hearts of palm, sun dried tomato strips, some mixed cooked beans, a few olives, and French dressing. That goes together in about 60 seconds and makes a delicious and nutritious salad. |
11,809 | I have used Birds Custard Powder for years when making trifle. I am so happy to find that Amazon carries this, as it's usually not available in local grocery stores. This is my preferred custard for trifle. Thanks, Amazon! |
11,810 | My father could no longer take care of his beloved 6 year old Cocker Spaniel, so I decided to take her into my family. When I brought her to NYC she had ear and eye discharge. She was also slightly overweight. After a check up with a vet that ruled out infection, I decided to try Royal Canin based on the numerous good reviews.Within a week her ear and eye problems were gone and she dropped a good amount of weight. This is going to be the only food that we will be feeding her! |
11,811 | Haven't opened them to try them yet but they have several sealed packages inside the sealed can and it has a very long shelf life. I will be buying more. |
11,812 | 5 Hour Energy is an amazing product. It has helped so much when I'm just in need of a little boost. This is so much better to me than the energy drinks since it doesn't give me the crash at the end. On top of how great 5 Hour Energy is, Amazon offers it at such a great price. Very happy customer! |
11,813 | I prefer organic coffee and have tried many different brands carried by health food stores. As Amazon.com adds more and more items to their site, I'm inclined to try even more brands. I decided to try Kick Ass Three Sisters Medium Roast this order. I'm glad I did. I prefer my coffee rich tasting but without that burned or bitter after taste many coffees have, especially non-organic, grocery store-type coffees. This coffee works perfectly for the one 20 oz cup coffee I drink each morning. I fresh grind the beans then.
I will try other brands Amazon.com sells since I haven't already tried them. However, I simply love this coffee and may have to stick with it.
Now if Amazon.com would just use shippers other than USPS for their subscription programs so I could take advantage of those . . . |
11,814 | While brewing the coffee produced a great, room-filling aroma, I was slightly disappointed with the strength of the brew vs other k-cups I've tried. Still, a delicious coffee at a great price. |
11,815 | I purchased this and Indian flavor. LOVE the red bell pepper. You definitely get the red bell pepper flavor. Its not over powering though. These are great plain or dipped in hummus. Will purchase again. Can't wait for the Kale chips to be released on Amazon too! |
11,816 | The hardest part with this product is not eating them all the first couple days. They must be addictive- they sure are delicious. I use subscribe and save so I always know another bag is coming and I order a bag for each of my grown kids. My son the lawyer takes his to work to share - and he keeps getting promoted- coincidence, I think there may be something here! Order thiese for your friends, but always make sure you have a bag around for yourself when your relaxing with your Kindle. |
11,817 | I recommend this soup. It's delicious, filling, and nutritious. Some people might find it too spicy or salty, but I like it that way. It takes about 20 minutes to make. It's really easy, too. (Just boil 4.5 cups water, add soup mix, bring back to boil and cook for 12 minutes.)One 6-once package makes 4 1-cup servings. I'm on the Weight Watcher's program and have found this product to work nicely in the program. (It counts as 2 points.) |
11,818 | I discovered these when my daughter was about 15 months old. I wish I had found them earlier. They are organic, taste great, are easy for toddlers to handle and very convenient! I always keep some in my purse and in the car when we're out and about. They are not messy, unless of course they decide to squeeze the pouch, which only happens for us when she's not hungry.
The Plum Organics line also includes some varieties with fruits and vegetables mixed together. They taste surprisingly good and are one way to get my picky eater to eat some veggies. You can find some varieties at reasonable prices on Amazon, others are more expensive for some reason. Babies R Us has had a sale every other month or so where you can get them for $1 each if you buy them in sets of 8. That is usually when I stock up for the next two months. :) |
11,819 | AMAZING! I love this stuff! Uncovers glowing beautiful skin everytime! I use it once a week for a real 'treat' pick me up. Fabulous product!!! |
11,820 | The product has a special taste I found to be a treat. This tea and a good book will take you away . The shipment was very slow so it will take a lot of patience, However well worth the wait. |
11,821 | Being a fan of the creamy, spicy chai teas one can get in the coffeeshops, I've tried to recreate them at home with disappointing results -- until now. I've probably purchased ten or twelve different brands of Chai looking for the right one. I finally found it with this Stash Premium Double Spice. It is exceptionally flavorful, and really able to hold the strong flavor. The aroma is incredible. Although it has cinnamon, it doesn't strike me as particularly cinnamony -- I think the cardamom flavor may come through a little more strongly. Nor is it particularly spicy -- I can't handle spicy foods and I don't have a problem with this. This tea is a little heartier than most -- I have taken to drinking it instead of coffee in the morning.
I haven't been quite as impressed with the other Stash teas I've tried (they're okay, but nothing special) and generally prefer Mighty Leaf or Tazo -- but this tea quickly jumped to the top of my favorites list -- I'll be ordering much more. |
11,822 | I don't have the luxury of drinking coconut water straight from the nut but this is the next best thing! I use this in my super healthy smoothies. And it's great for a hang over;) Love it! |
11,823 | This is a good snack. I liked them. Flavor just a little bit bland but still good. |
11,824 | I am no stranger to health foods and even use almond flour often. I don't know what I was expecting but these have a strange consistency and flavor. They are gummy and hard to chew which makes you think they have a lot of honey -- yet they are strangely NOT sweet. It's like an unsweetened granola bar. I am not a fan. They sent a sample of the carob cookie which I thought was nice but we didn't care for that one either. Maybe it's just not our bag. |
11,825 | I love Oreos, especially these new fudge ones. They're now my favorite. I've tried both the mint and the peanut butter versions now, and while the peanut butter are good, the mint is still my favorite. That being said, these aren't bad at all. I still very much enjoyed them. My two kids (5 year old boy and 2 year old girl) both loved them as well. Whenever they could, they were begging for these cookies. In my mind, that's a good sign. If you've got a kid begging for these, you've got a pretty good product.
My one disappointment is that it's not the full cookie. It's just half of it. Maybe they've done that to cut costs, but, as I recall, there was a similar Oreo product at one time that offered the full cookie. Either way, still worth it, and definitely a cookie I'd recommend. |
11,826 | I've been to the famous Garrett's in Chicago and had the REAL cheddar cheese/ carmel corn mix and would have to say that I was delighted to find this popcorn in our local stores! The minute I tried it, I loved it!! |
11,827 | I ordered this to try a varity of samples to see which flavors I would like, instead I get only 4 flavors there you'd be no more than two f a kind to get a good cross sampling of flavors. |
11,828 | This was a great find! I have five kids and they love the Trolli brand sour gummy worms. I could spend a fortune purchasing individual bags from retailers, which is why I was thrilled to find this huge bage at a great valued price. In fact, it's a great idea for concession stands as fundraisers (separate the bag for individual resale). The gummy worms were fresh and delicious and were shipped quickly. I highly recommend and will be buying more! |
11,829 | This 4-pound bag is a good product for those in need of wheat-free flour. Makes very tasty bread. Much cheaper than buying a box of flour. |
11,830 | If chips are your downfall you have some help coming! The Great Plains Multi-grain toasted chips from Wheat Thins are now our favorite chip, and there are other flavors to try, however the multi-grain are the ones we like best. They come in a bag like regular potato chips... an 8.1 oz bag. They are made with 100% whole grain, no high fructose syrup or high sodium content. They are toasted, not fried. Calories are 130 p/s and only 5 grams total fat.
Best of all is the TASTE -- wonderful! Just right in saltiness, crisp and satisfying. It will be easier than you think to give up fattening and greasy potato chips for these. Highly recommended. Put some in a baggie for your kids lunches and help train them to make healthy choices in snack foods.
Love 'em! |
11,831 | Although it says "Soup Base" on the bottle, my family hardly uses it for that purpose. It works great for everyday cooking and I would describe it as a sweet soy sauce. Try it on any type of meat and cooked vegetables. You can get a 20oz bottle for ~3-4$ at an Asian market. |
11,832 | The products arrived just as described and in a timely manner. The coffee was purchased as a gift for a Vietnamese person in our neighborhood. I will gladly re-order in the future when the need arises. |
11,833 | I love coffee and I start my day with it and I drink half a pot in the evenings too. So I was excited to try this blend but it was not as exciting as the description on their website. The scent was fragrant and inviting but the taste fell flat. After drinking 3 cups I think it is a bit bitter and it has an aftertaste with no hint of the "floral notes and reveals hints of blueberry, cocoa and spice. This well-rounded coffee features a bright acidity. One Love tantalizes your palate, and leaves a profound cherry finish" as described by their enthusiastic marketing department. Try Komodo Dragon by Starbucks instead. Bob Marley needs to stick with his day job. |
11,834 | These are excellent. Expensive, but so good. You'd never know they were gluten-free. I don't know what the person was talking about them smelling like potatoes. They really do taste like a Kit Kat. So good! |
11,835 | This organic tahini tastes delicious. I love it and have already ordered it twice from Amazon.
You must stir it thoroughly before taking any from the jar. (I wonder if that's why there were several negative reviews about the consistency being thin.) Once stirred completely, the consistency is nice and smooth. Of note, you should expect a thinner butter, as sesame butter is ALWAYS thinner than most other nut butters, including peanut, almond, and sunflower seed butters. I like the thinner consistency of sesame butter because it is much easier to incorporate by hand into dishes than other butters. It is also easier to measure with a tablespoon (because it is more pourable) when taking a single or half serving, which keeps me on track with my calorie counts.
This item is currently shipped from Amazon. When I received it, at least when ordering two jars at a time, each jar was individually boxed. I didn't have to worry about breakage the next time that I ordered two more, and they were packaged the same way. |
11,836 | Recommend it to all. Lovely natural sweet delicate flavor and add some raw honey is a great cold kicker. I loved it during a URI, upper respiratory infection and it was fabulous. Soothed my sore throat and helped ease the coughing. I now brew it for cold tea as well. Very refresshing. |
11,837 | I figured I would order in bulk this time, so I ordered three packages of this item, Dark Magic K-Cups. I love the Dark Magic coffee, but it is almost expired! It arrived on 1/12/2012 and it expires on 4/1/2012. I like fresh coffee, not almost expired. This is very disappointing. I will definitely reconsider before ordering coffee from Amazon ever again. |
11,838 | My review is for the product cookie itself, not what might happen if you buy food from Amazon. Oreo is a classic cookie, and while I can't say that I am a big fan of all their flavors, I really enjoy three flavors - original, Uh-Oh Oreos, and the top of the list, Mint Oreos. The flavor is strongly reminiscent of the Thin Mint cookies sold by the Girls Scouts. Unfortunately, they only sell their cookies once in a while, but I can head to my store any time I have a craving for the flavor of chocolate and mint in a cookie. I even like this better than original Oreo, and that's saying a lot. Nom nom. |
11,839 | I purchased this tea because it is recommended for helping women's PMS symptoms and menopause symptoms. I've only had one cup of it, so I can't say if it has helped my symptoms or not. I have purchased other teas of this brand. I would recommend their teas. I wasn't crazy about the taste of the red clover, but that is just my personal opinion. It's a little bitter but bearable. Add some sugar and you're good to go. |
11,840 | The Clear Scalp Ultra Shea conditioner leaves my hair soft without feeling oily. My hair is pretty thin and I normally shave my head, but for the last few weeks, I had been letting it grow. In combination with the shampoo, this is a great product. It washes out well (better than the shampoo) and leaves my hair smelling nice (my wife loves it). I don't need to use a lot, so I think this will last me quite a while, even with my wife using it. My wife also loves it, and she has very long hair, while not as thin as mine, it is by no means thick. This is good enough to recommend. |
11,841 | Great coffee - much better price when you order on a regular basis thru Amazon than you can get in grocery stores or other websites. |
11,842 | 5 pounds is a lot of seeds. I sprinkle a couple of tablespoons on my cereal for breakfast -- which should last me about a year. If you're on a diet make sure that you check the calories and act accordingly. The nutritional breakdown of hemp seeds makes them a very good addition to your diet.
I've also added a handfull of nuts (almonds or walnuts) and 2 pieces of 90% cocoa (Lindt) to my daily food intake. All three are high-calorie foods but in moderation appear to have very significant health benefits.
These seeds are high in protein and I highly recommend that you research their benefits. |
11,843 | I always have to get one of my friends who is a Costco member pick up these fabulous cookies for me. I discovered yesterday these cookies are available on the Thin Addictives website and for far cheaper than they are on here. I would be more inclined to purchase them direct and cut out the middle man. |
11,844 | Great job! This butter was fresh, on time..packaged well..Had it with Maine lobter...big hit with my guests..............If you like butter...this is the place. |
11,845 | While the smell is amazing, the taste is lacking compared to other Earl Gray Teas. This is the case for most of Teavana's teas, when your in the store they waft the smell of the tea toward you and your like WOW I bet that tastes amazing.... then you later taste it and its only ok... The Earl gray is not very traditional compared to other teas like Twinings and Harriods... Being from London and growing up on earl gray this tea is not horrible but there are better teas out there. Its seems like an American twist on an English classic, but if your like me and like that traditional English taste, this is not the way to go. |
11,846 | This is a very pleasant tea. I like black teas with flowers and this one is my fawourite for afternoon tea. Less expensive on Amazon than my local store where it is not always available. |
11,847 | Someone has given me a box of the assorted chocolates.
Do any of you ever read the ingredients?
An absolutely horrible stuff.
Wouldn't you expect for the Monks to make their own product
that is not only delicious but also free of all the carcinogenic coloring,high fructose corn syrup etc..etc.. etc..I wonder where on Earth are they getting all these ingredients? |
11,848 | I LOOOOVE most furikake, especially on rice and for spam musubis. Unfortunately this flavor just does not taste that good / flavorful to me. I'd try a different type |
11,849 | I'm disturbed that these treats, as many reviewers state, are so "addictive." My dog, too, loves them but has now begun to shun her meals and will only eat these treats. In trying to make sense of her current state of anorexia, I recently became aware of the FDA advisory on Dec. 19, 2008 stating that one of the symptoms to be aware of in dogs eating chicken jerky treats made in China is "decreased appetite, although some may continue to consume the treats to the exclusion of other foods." So be very wary of the fact that dogs seem to go crazy over these treats. Although the Dogswell Company states clearly that their product is not contaminated, and that third party testers have confirmed this, do the owners of the company truly know what's happening in China behind the scenes? Or who might get paid off to test certain batches of jerky? I and my vet have been unable to come up with any other explanation for my dog's anorexia, except that it coincides with her increased interest (and now ONLY interest) in Happy Hips since I began treating her with them last spring. Thankfully, her kidney function is still fine, but if you research this on the web, many other dogs were not so lucky and died due to kidney failure.
See this link to the FDA website suggesting caution to consumers in using chicken jerky products from China. Be informed! [...] |
11,850 | This is delicious coffee! Not very expensive and very drinkable. I just put this on the auto order and enjoy daily! |
11,851 | I like to try all different health food bars and when I saw one that combined my two favorite things together (chocolate and hazelnuts) I said, "oooh I have to try". I was sorely disappointed. I bought two of these and I was excited to try one. I opened it and was hit by the awful smell of... well a foot-like scent. So that was a turnoff, but I said hey I have never been one to let looks or smell hinder me from trying something new. So I went ahead and ate it. I had to force myself to finish it. It was like torture eating this. It tasted awful. I actually opened up the second and dared a coworker to try it because it was so bad. He tried it and he felt the same way. It has almost no flavor, but what flavor it does have lingers in your mouth and grosses you out.
Who I'd recommend it to: 1.) People that like to give friends that lose bets something awful to eat. 2.) My enemies. |
11,852 | This is the product from Amazon I will highly recommand to others. My husband used to have classical English tea for himself. Trust me. He'll never compromise any tea's quality! We have had spend some money in the supermarkets. Praise the LORD that we find the same in Amazon. Make a subcription to get even better deal:) |
11,853 | My son LOVES this oatmeal. He is 16 months and has been eating it consistently for abt 7 months. It has a great texture and is a great transitional food for stage 3 toddler. |
11,854 | I really enjoyed this product. The price was right and the shipping was good. I really recommend this item. My children enjoyed them as well |
11,855 | Konjac (often also called shirataki) noodles are fairly new to the American market, so don't be turned off by negative reviews, learn about this product, try several different varieties, maybe several different brands, try to cook it with different meats and veggies, and I believe most of you will like this product.
DO NOT expect it to taste like regular (made out of flour) pasta because it won't. These noodles are made from yam root plus fiber. Konjac noodles have no taste and will absorb any flavor you introduce into the dish. They tend to be kind of "rubbery", so if you're offended by that, try tofu shirataki noodles (these are original konjac noodles with added tofu). They are softer than original konjac noodles. They also look white which makes them look more like regular pasta. Try both kinds and then make up your mind.
Both kinds come water packed and both have to be rinsed THOROUGHLY before use. I, personally, prefer original konjac noodles because (to me) tofu shirataki noodles have a fishy kind of odor, it takes longer to rinse it out of them and the smell still lingers sometimes (or maybe my nose is too sensitive). Konjac noodles can be stored at room temperature and shirataki tofu noodles need to be refrigerated.
In any case, check out the many sites dedicated to this great product and I am sure you'll find a recipe or two to your liking. This product is as close as you'll get to zero calorie food. That said, let me give you one more friendly advice:
this type of food is NOT nutritious, so make sure you are taking your vitamins and/or get the necessary nutrients from other foods. This product would definitely be beneficial to people looking for a low glycemic impact food.

11,856 | I took one and said good Russet potato chip but I found that the flavoring was subtle for my taste, a bit oily and overcooked. It may be because I am use to eating their great tasting Kettle Chips Spicy Thai, 2-Ounce Bags (Pack of 24). Or perhaps because all the chips in the bags I received were overcooked and that overpowered the seasoning. It is obvious the chips are flavored, but if I did not read the bag I would never have thought it had Cheddar flavor. And I love New York Cheddar. The flavoring included Parmesan, Cheddar, Blue Cheese, garlic and other spices. A good chip even when overcooked, but I do not plan to buy them again. |
11,857 | I had the Biscoff Spread at a friend's and loved it! I ordered 2 jars, one for me and one for my sister. They were gone in a flash. Next order was 10 jars so I could share more! Everyone loves it!! |
11,858 | I have been buying and brewing Lavazza coffee for about twenty years--beginning with the time that you could only get Lavazza by a) having someone shlep it from Italy for you, or b) driving down Canal street (if you ever had the displeasure of being stuck in NYC). For years I used the Pienaroma, which is a fantastic coffee, and typically billed by the coffee companies as being the same as the "gold" you get over in Italy. The Pienaroma is fantastic for cappuccino and lattes, but I think this gold is better for straight espresso.
The Pienaroma is 100% Arabica. Not sure exactly what's in the Gold, but the crema is amazing. I suspect Lavazza must drop in a little Robusto to give the Gold the great crema and a slight bite that I feel is missing in the Pienaroma. Some people mistake this taste, often referred to as "earthy" taste, for a burnt taste. I suggest brewing some espresso from the Gold and the Pienaroma side-by-side and tasting them at the same time. You'll appreciate this taste is missing in the Pienaroma, I suspect, and after that the Pienaroma will taste "flat" for straight espresso. Summary: if you don't drink espresso, stick with the Pienaroma as it is more economical and is a fantastic coffee. If you like espresso, give the Gold a shot and see what you think.
Disclaimer: I'm not a professional food taster, so all of the above is just one person's opinion. Surely you know what they say about opinions... |
11,859 | The Best Raisin Bran used to be Crispy Wheats 'n' Raisins (which then became Crispy "Wheaties" 'n' Raisins.) Then Big G realized the only Raisin Bran they needed was Raisin Nut Bran as it essentially was the former cereals; just with almonds and nut covered raisins.
Flakes stay crispy in milk, just the right amount of raisins, and the almond slivers are a nice touch. Best. Raisin Bran. Ever. |
11,860 | Doesn't taste like it smells...in fact it doesn't taste like anything but table salt. I could smell the truffles through the sealed jar. I sprinkled it on buttered pasta hoping for an in your face blast of truffles, only to be disappointed. |
11,861 | The Brussel's dwarf crepe myrtle is doing beautifully. It arrived in great condition. |
11,862 | Delicious. Purchased via Ditalia. Good packaging. Just as they promised, boxes arrived on time for our Church. Great customer service via email and phone; kept me informed.
Recently had the bad experience of purchasing online from USAchocolate... $18+ Baci Easter egg arrived broken in many pieces. Poor packaging, poor customer service. |
11,863 | There isn't a whole lot that is special about Stride Gum. I kind of got annoyed chewing it all the time. It doesn't really freshen your breath and you don't get the "clean" feeling of other gums. It doesn't really last that long either so I wasn't too fond of it. Either way if your a fan of Stride go for it. |
11,864 | This is a pretty good price for the product. However, there are WAY MORE Whoppers than candy bars which is disappointing. Whoppers are my least favorite of this variety. |
11,865 | I like the noodles and the flavor, and when prepared as instructed they have a nice firm texture ("al dente"), but the shrimp and veggies pictured on the label are really dried and will not look as fresh as they seem on the label.
Preparation is not as simple as Nissin, but it has much more flavor.
I hope this is helpful. |
11,866 | The texture is fine but this has a very odd background flavor to it. I've tried to place it and think it might be from the coconut but I'm just not sure. Though I enjoyed this brand's Oatmeal Raisin granola, I would never buy this flavor again. |
11,867 | The sweet & hot has an excellent balance of spice, if you want something moderately hot but not extreme. The jerky is ok, not great; it has a higher proportion of fatty pieces than most brands I've tried. But it's an excellent value with good flavor, so I can't complain too much. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. |
11,868 | Ortho sells a number of Weed B Gon products, and it took me some searching to find exactly the one I wanted. I wanted one of the versions containing the chemical triclopyr, which is what my state agricultural university extension service recommends for killing wild violets, which for several years had been stubbornly resisting all my organic methods to keep them from taking over my lawn. Since I only had a fairly small area to spray and didn't want to invest in major league spraying equipment if I didn't have to, this version was just what I needed. It's very easy to use. You just attach it to the end of your garden hose, turn on the water (not full blast, just enough to make a nice controllable spray) and spray it on your broadleaf weeds. They absorb the triclopyr through their leaves, it messes them up bad and they die.
There was enough in the bottle for me to spray the wild violets that hadn't died after the first application (as the directions and my extension service mentioned, you usually can't get them all the first try.) Actually, I spent twice as much money on the respirator I bought to wear when I was doing my spraying. I strongly recommend you read the directions carefully and follow the safety instructions. You don't want to inhale this stuff or get it in your eyeballs or mouth or on your skin. Triclopyr is SUPPOSED to break down fairly quickly and not leave residual traces--we'll see about that. |
11,869 | So far I have tried the Key Lime Pie, Cherry Pie, and the Peanut butter cookie and they all have all had really good flavor without having all the extra processed junk that so many other snack foods have. I look forward to trying more flavors. |
11,870 | Okay, I'm a complete coffee nut: I've even been known to grow my own beans, and when I run out of my private label, I tend to enjoy the baddest Kona or Jamaican Blue Mountain I can find.
Still, sometimes I just want a quick cup of respectable coffee without all the fuss, and this is what I was hoping for in the Melitta Riviera decaf. To a good degree, I was happy with it, but it's certainly not something I'd curl up with when in the mood for a really outstanding cup of coffee.
The positives are the aroma, the uniformity of the grind and the overall taste, which I'd rate as fairly mild and maybe a slight bit on the acid side. I found I liked it best either in a French press or in my Viviano espresso maker - two techniques that make the most out of somewhat weak coffee. Brewed conventionally, I found I could compensate by using somewhat more coffee than usual.
Still, although not a serious competitor to the world's best coffees, it doesn't cost $50 a pound, either. I'd have to say that for the price, it's definitely worth trying. |
11,871 | What happened to the oatmeal cookies. You've been out of stock for months. Are you getting them in? They are the best ! |
11,872 | This seems like a pretty straightforward drink. It's coconut juice and it's pineapple juice, with a bit of sugar and not much else.
They claim it's a good source of potassium and electrolytes.
For me it was pretty tasty. Granted it was also very sweet. Is it a "health drink"? I don't know if I'd go that far. It has Vitamin C and trace amounts of Calcium / Iron, but not much else other than sugar.
For what it is (something sweet to sip), it's pretty good. |
11,873 | I must say, HINT water is ABSOLUTELY every wonderful thing you read about it. It is a very clean, fresh water with just enough flavor to make you want more! (I would have never dreamed I'd pay this for bottled water!) However, unless you like the idea of a liquid version of a REAL cucumber, DON'T test this one out. The other flavors I have tried, however, PERFECT! |
11,874 | If you thought you didn't like oatmeal, but wanted the health benefits (fiber, lowering cholesterol, low cal nutrition), TRY THIS! It's nothing like that slimy instant stuff or lumpy rolled oats gruel.
To avoid busy breakfast rush, prepare the night before by bringing water to simmer and adding oats, then cover and let sit overnight. This nutty, slightly chewy yummy oatmeal porridge will be ready the next morning. Add any or several of the following to add to your delight: dried cherries or cranberries, bananas, chopped pecans or walnuts, molasses or brown sugar or honey, some cinnamon (helps avoid a quick morning blood sugar spike), warm nonfat/lowfat milk, or 1/2 and 1/2 if self-indulgent! This blend will keep those mid morning growlies away and you'll know you have fed your tummy as well as your heart! Mmmm good! |
11,875 | I usually order 4 boxes of 6 of this a month, and buy 1-2 of the powdered formula from the store. This is cheaper than if you were to buy it at the store (about $6 in store, about $5 online) and I like how it's delivered right to your door so you don't have to fill your cart up and lug them back and forth. |
11,876 | The seller is quick and the items arrived within 3 days. The taste of the coffee is similar to the Senseo branded pods. My only "complaint" has nothing to do with the coffee itself. The pods all come individually wrapped, to keep it fresh. I would like to get a slightly lower price (and be more environmentally sound!) by being able to buy the pods in larger quantities per package. Otherwise, highly recommended! |
11,877 | the special k "protein" bar is a joke. in comparison with a kashi bar (which in my opinion tastes as good if not better)..here is what you're getting with the special k bar:
40 more calories, for only 3 extra grams of protein
not to mention:
10 extra grams of sugar
6 more grams of carbs
and
3 more grams of SATURATED fat
consumers need to start reading and comparing labels, instead of going by the name brands |
11,878 | We were subscribed to this coffee until recently. We got about a half-dozen boxes during our subscription. The coffee is robust in flavor, and makes a tasty large cup.
The only problem that we had was that, with one box, about half the box had coffee loose in the bottom part of the pods. When you brewed the coffee, you'd get a cup full of wet grounds. We found that if we checked the pods against the light, we could see which had loose coffee, and we could trim one corner to empty out the loose grounds. There were still a few in each cup, but at least it was drinkable.
Good coffee - it's a shame they canceled the subscription.

11,879 | I LOVE this cous cous. I have tried other brands and other flavors of the same brand, but the chicken and vegetables flavor is the best. It is awesome served with vegetables and chicken. |
11,880 | Tastes great! We love this tea, it's good hot or cold and isn't bitter. I love the blend of peppermint- refreshing. |
11,881 | I am very please with the response and how quickly I received the item. I ordered the peppercorns on Sunday and received onThursday. |
11,882 | So, after adopting our dog, we discovered he had chronic ear infections, most like due to a food allergy, and so began our search for the perfect food. This was food number 3. We made it through about half the bag, when we noticed he was crazy itchy and had another ear infection. I also went online to research the food and found a number of alarming reviews where dogs had reactions to the food. Of course, there could be outside circumstances involved in these other instances, so I also made sure to read all the positive reviews. However, this was clearly not working for my dog. To settle my concerns around the negative reviews however, I decided to call the company. It turns out that quite a few dogs are sensitive to sweet potatoes, and also, possibly, peas, which is also an ingredient in this food. They were super nice, and sent me a voucher for a free bag of treats, and a voucher for a full size replacement bag of food in any of their other varieties, to be redeemed at any pet store that carries their product! So, although this food was a no go for the Murph, I can't fault the company. They were great. |
11,883 | Gluten free, without any sacrifice in taste. Easy to pack along and won't be compromised if not refrigerated as they hold up to warm weather well. Crunchy and can be a bit crumbly when eaten. I like the almond and peanut varieties equally. The price on Amazon is terrific and makes these a perfect snack. Low in calories but big on taste. |
11,884 | Your guess is as good as mine regarding what Festival means when they claim that their canned shiitake slices are "Fresh Pack." On a separate subject: Unlike MW Polar brand of canned sliced shiitake, Festival brand does not add sesame oil, which would make the mushrooms taste better but at the expense of adding unwanted calories from the "bad" polyunsaturated fatty acid, linoleic acid (omega-6), which is the only kind of polyunsaturated fat contained in sesame oil. |
11,885 | I am not an connoisseur of green teas, but
this brand seems to taste better than the others I have tried. |
11,886 | I am not intolerant to anything except lactose, but my baby that I'm nursing is really sensitive to dairy and eggs! I've been on a really strict diet for her but have been DYING for something sweet and decided to try out a few items from the health food store. I can't believe how tasty these are! I am VERY picky and I think considering the fact that they have no dairy, eggs, gluten etc. these are FANTASTIC! Perfect little sweet treat to satisfy my craving! |
11,887 | I had to give the ball a partial turn to get some of the liquid on it after shaking to mix it up, but after I did that my dog licked away and loved it! This is a good low-cal treat for dogs and would be great as a training aid. Our dog dutifully performed her repertoire of tricks to get more of the treat, and then followed me back to the kitchen as I put it away. The only bad thing is that you DO have to hold it for the dog, but if you're using it as a training aid that may actually be an advantage.
There are over 500 licks in each tube and 10 licks is only 1 calorie. I gave my dog 10 licks per trick.
FWIW, my dog is a 1.5 year old hound dog/bird dog mutt. |
11,888 | These tortilla chips have an "all-natural" feel to them, and a somewhat unique taste, which is both good and bad.
First off, I'll just comment on the packaging. The singular bag is made of a relatively thick foil-like material and is air puffed tightly. The result is freshly crisp, unbroken chips in the bag. A nice bonus and much better than standard lunch-sized chip bags you find from most common companies.
As for the taste of the chips, they're pretty good. I liked the olive and garlic flavor when I was eating them by themselves. However, when I paired them with some salsa, the olive taste didn't match up that well. They might go better with a french onion chip dip instead (though I didn't try that).
So if you want fresh, never-broken tortilla chips to eat just by themselves with no dip, these do rather well. If you're looking for a chip to go with your bowl of salsa, you may want go elsewhere. |
11,889 | Cereals are generally one of the most expensive foods per ounce. Nutritionally they deliver less bang for the buck than most foods. Along comes Special K Protein Plus Original.
Great stats! great taste! and with subscribe and save it can't beat. Five stars here. |
11,890 | i have had this memory of the smell and taste of the spaghetti i had as a kid. I made this added extra black pepper and WOW! it was the lost memory i had struggled to remember. My husband and I have decided that a case or two is needed for our food storage since I think its better that a jar. |
11,891 | Quaker Oatmeal Squares
I like to eat these right out of the box, as a snack. They would be perfect if they had fewer carbohydrates.
I recommend them.

11,892 | The tea is great in helping me to concentrate. It also tastes great as well. I'm especially impressed how quickly the tea got to me. |
11,893 | This is probably the best tea I've ever had. I was so pleasantly surprised at the peppermint taste. Most peppermint teas just taste like mint. This one is a definite peppermint taste. Quite a difference.
I like a little stronger tea and this was exactly that. I put one tea bag in a cup of water in the microwave for two minutes. Then let it rest for three minutes. I like mine sweetened. So, I added stevia as a sweetener. It was perfect! The best I've ever had. I could even re-use the tea bag for a second cup. It wasn't quite as strong but was still very good.
Definitely on my list to buy. Excellent! I think I'll go have some now!! |
11,894 | I had never seen these chips before so I ordered the cheddar and sour cream and onion. They were on special and it was a great value. I love the individual bags, and the cheddar are my favorite. They are definitely better than baked chips.
After I bought these I saw the larger bags at Stop and Shop, but I will keep getting the individual size from Amazon. |
11,895 | Indulge! Great chocolate at a great price. Got these as a birthday gift and they are truly memorable. Put these on your "Bucket List" |
11,896 | If you want a good strong flavorful coffee, this is it. Emeril's Big Easy Bold is also good, but I like this blend better. Don't buy this if you don't like it strong, though. You will be disappointed |
11,897 | My sister tried these out with one of her dogs. She says:
I gave the stick a try with our small rat terrier mix, Nellie. At first I couldn't figure out how to open it the bottle. It looked like you pealed the wrapper off the lid area, but it wasn't coming. Then I could see the faint perforated line around the base of the cap and you twist to break that, like a salad dressing bottle. The stick itself is like a deodorant roll-on. Seriously. The instructions say to shake it up before offering. This stick was a "chicken flavor". I offered it to Nellie, who could tell it smelled good and she tried to nibble around the roll-on top not knowing what to do. I kind of squeezed the bottle and it made the roll-on get flavored. She then had fun licking it and she seemed to like the stuff. She's not very picky, so I figured she would. The smell is not that great. You can kind of smell it when offering it to the dog. If you put it up close to you, it is strong, so I just kept it down at dog level.
This is a very odd way to give a treat to a dog. But, I don't think Nellie noticed, she was too busy enjoying it. |
11,898 | Both of our cats (10 year old and 6 year old) love this food! It is from Iams, and i have always trusted that company when it comes to cat food. Also, the price is unbeatable...not for less than $8 for a big bag and free shipping, it beats going to the store. The food arrived nicely packed, and the expiration date is in 2013, so I know it is fresh. Great product! My cats have had less frequent nastry hairball "attacks" since we have been using this food, which is approximately for two months now. |
11,899 | I've been drinking Emeril's Bold for a year and a half, and wanted to try something different. A review led me to this brand, and I love it too! I'm a strong coffee gal-- I like Starbuck's-- so this is right up my alley. |
