15,500 | Its hard to find treats that my yorkie really loves, he goes completly crazy with Greenies but he can eat one in like 5 minutes so I feel like they are not worth it. I saw these and target and I decided to give them a tried... He smelled them and in like 10 min he was already chewing on one... He eats one in like 15 minutes and Im trying to give him one a day, during a week his teeth look so much better and his gums are not red anymore... so I think I prefer these treats over Greenies. |
15,501 | What a disappointment. Our crackers just arrived and are not the Wasa sourdough rye crispbread that we loved for decades. They were fresh and probably wholesome, but they are yeasty and without the tang of sourdough. They changed the ingredients, according to the list on the package, from whole rye flour, sourdough starter, water, and salt, to "whole grain rye flour, rye flour, water, yeast, dry sourdough, salt." This is NOT an improvement. |
15,502 | Our family makes popcorn on an almost daily basis, so paying $4.99 for a 1 1/2LB bottle of popcorn kernels feels like highway robbery. The Paragon 12 1/2 LB bag is a much better bargain (especially if you already pay for prime shipping). The kernels pop up very well, have a good fresh corn taste, and after one month- still no stale taste or increase in unpopped hulls. You may want to store the opened bag in an airtight container to keep it fresh and for ease of scooping. |
15,503 | I love Vernors Ginger ale. It's excellent for an upset stomach or just a refreshing drink. I live in northern Kentucky and I have wondered why no on that I can find sells your product in the smaller bottles. You can't carry a two liter bottle around when you go out. All the other soft drinks are in several different sized bottles. To order the bottles the shipping is as much as the cost of the drink. |
15,504 | Being a human means that I cannot personally vouch for this product but my two cats have indicated their willingness to provide this review. According to them the Tiki Cat food in general is of the highest quality, tastes incredible and makes-you-look-forward-to-breakfast. My personal observation is that there is never even a scrap left on their plates and that I usually just have to grab the tins to have two very interested and demanding friends circling and excitedly talking to me. Since I started serving them this food they have turned into "alarm clocks" (fully adjustable to daylight savings time), each morning, seven a.m. sharp. I am supposed to be up and feeding them. If not (or want to sleep in) they pounce on the bed and pester me until I get up. Thanks Tiki Cat for turning my beauty sleep upside down. Well I suppose "as long as they are happy!". |
15,505 | I really like these cookies. They are made with pastry dough - lots of thin, flaky, crispy layers with a very light coating of honey (or something like honey). The jelly center rounds the cookie out with a delicious bite of sweetness. It's a robust burst of flavor that makes you want to smile. I am rapidly getting addicted to these fine flavorful confections -- bet you can't eat just one! |
15,506 | Because of the negative reviews, I thought I should add my opinion. First, I bought one of these at Wal-Mart. When I realized that it really did make two whole lunches for me, I couldn't wait to buy more. My average daily calorie intake is 1,700 so these fit well in my eating plan. First, the chili is great. I do NOT like hot (spicy) food. The beans retained their firmness, the chicken was moist and edible. I can't say enough good things about the taste of this chili.
As for sodium, that doesn't matter to me so I don't care. I can say it has less sodium than the comparable Microwavable Chicken Corn Chowder (740mg to 840mg per serving). But here's the most important part to me:
Total Fat 2g
Dietary Fiber 7g
Protein 15g
Potassium 590mg
Iron 10%
Calories 190
Total Carb. 27g
Who knew low-fat could taste so good!! And the fiber! Protein! Potassium! Iron!
Also, I warmed this up on the stove, not in the microwave - but that's my preference. |
15,507 | Maybe the previous reviewers lost product because they were new and people were curious. Shouldn't happen but I can't blame anyone, these things are hard to resist. My package was unopened which is good because between me and co-workers they were gone in a week so I need to order more soon. |
15,508 | Received this as a gift and was pleasantly surprised. A gift with a little bit of everything in it. The pickles were awesome! Going to have to order more of each in bigger jars for sure! |
15,509 | Reese changed their Cheesy Popcorn Seasoning. It is more salt than cheese. In fact it has very little cheese flavor left. I will not be purchasing this product again. |
15,510 | My husband's favorite K-cup is GM Breakfast Blend so I was very pleased to find a variety pack with a decaf version for him. He can't tell the difference on this and he usually can! It's really nice to have a variety of decaf flavors to offer guests without having to buy 4 different boxes. |
15,511 | I was skeptical about this coffee, but not any more!!!! This is the best coffee I have had in my Keurig EVER!!!! I am not a fan of really strong coffee and this coffee is perfect for me. After I opened my bag I put the rest of the coffee in a resealable FoodSaver bag. PERFECT!!! I don't think you can go wrong with the taste, or the price!!! |
15,512 | My cat loves these. We call them packets and she perks up and gets excited if we say packet. we call her packet cat. haha. anyway. This is way over priced on here though.. I get them for .95 cents each.. that adds up to $22 for 24, not $30 for 24 like they are on sale for here. I get mine at stateline pet supply in plaistow nh. I would look around before purchasing them for thebest price if i were you. |
15,513 | I ordered this for my mom and she loved it. It was exactly what she was looking for that she couldn't find in the grocery or other markets.It's the real deal! |
15,514 | My cats have sampled almost every healthy food available in the U.S.A., and all 4 of them will eat this one! Before I learned about feline nutrition, I fed my cats dry food and poor quality canned food. Now they won't eat any good quality canned food, or raw diet, and they are addicted to dry food. I still feed them Fancy Feast canned food (it's the only wet food they will eat) and I am happy that I found a good quality dry food that they will eat! I've offered 4 different premium quality dry foods side by side, and the cats prefer this one! They won't touch most healthy foods, so Wellness must have a palatable formula. I recommend this food to anyone with a cat who insists on eating dry food and is finicky! |
15,515 | I am not one to usually write reviews, and I usually never have a bad experiance on what I purchse.
I'm not writing this to "slam" the Blue Buffalo company,and can't prove that the food I purchased was 100% responsible for my experiance,but here is what happened. I have fed my dog the same food for years. Dog is healthy with no issues. She is getting older and I did some research and decided to get her on a better brand AND figured it was time to switch to "senior" food. I followed the directions and slowly started to mix "Buffalo" with her old food to get her adjusted. Within a few days she started acting odd and had blood in her urine. Took her to the vet, and he said that he has seen this type of food cause the urine to be too acidic and cause an infection. He told me to STOP feeding her "Buffalo" and to go back to old brand. After 1 day of not feeding it to her, and the first day on her round of pills, she is much butter and no more blood in her urine.
Like I said... could be totally unrelated, but seems obvious that the problem started within 3 days of feeding this to her, and the problem stopped (per advice of vet) when I stopped feeding it to her.
I am writing this to inform you, in case you have the same issue and to hopefully save someone the expense of a vet bill and all the hassle my purchase caused me. |
15,516 | Hot Wasabi flavor, and a good price, but be careful because some of the peas are as hard as rocks! |
15,517 | In my opinion, this is the defining invention of 20th Century America.
In the words of a friend, who immigrated to the U.S. from overseas: "I was amazed when I first discovered about magic shell. I looooooove magic shell. Only America can think of such idea and is able to capitalize on that brilliant idea."
Not quite fudge, not really chocolate, completely absurd. By what black art did the makers conjure the ability for something to freeze in seconds at room temperature? Begs the questions, was it invented by accident, or by a sage? |
15,518 | My dog loves Zukes Mini Natural Treats! treats. He expects them before he goes to sleep for the evening, and often looks for them when we just tell him he is as good boy. When we run out of them he actually pouts because now he expects them every day. What I like about these treats for our dog is that they are natural, no chemicals, and just the right size for our dog to chew (he is 28 lbs.). Also, some of the proceeds go toward Cancer Research for animals, which I am all for since we lost a Jack Russell to cancer at the age of 5 (Lymphoma). Very sad to see an animal suffer with Cancer, as with a human, and also to lose them, which is especially emotionally stressful. We will purchase Zukes as long as our dog loves them - and we know this will be for his life. |
15,519 | I am a big fan of treats that are digestable. I purchased this product thinking it would be safe to feed my dog. I left the treat for my dog on my way out the door for work, when I arrived home 4 hours later the treat was fully gone and the poor dog could not control his bowel movements and had diarrhea.
This diarreha lasted for 2 days, and was so bad that I had to take a trip to the vet which ended up being one of the most expensive trips I've made there yet to have him tested for various illnesses.
I didn't attribute the diarrhea to the product at first, but a week later I again gave my dog this bone treat and a few hours after eating the bone the diarrhea started back up again.
I'm unsure what exactly about this product is "healthy", and would argue against it being "edible". Sure technically you can give this product to your dog and if he eats peices it won't require surgery to remove. But you'll spend 2-3 days dealing with uncontrolable doggy bowel movements, and excessive dehydration. And if your not quick enough to realize it's this treat causing your problems you'll spend a few hundred bucks at the vets office like I did.
And don't get me started on how quickly these things can get eaten....
From now on I'll stick with bully sticks. |
15,520 | I actually don't know how the mild is but the "HOT 'n' Spicy" is GREAT! I put it on catfish and broil it and it is delicious. |
15,521 | I decided to switch to green tea instead of drinking soda every day. I knew I would miss the sweetness of sugar, so I picked this up to add to my tea. It really does taste well, but is not super strong. One packet in one cup of tea does the job. I guess this is healthier, so I would pick some up. |
15,522 | THE PRODUCT IS PERFECT FOR MY NEEDS.I LOVE COCOA AND THE ABSENCE OF CAFFINE ENABLES ME TO ENJOY IT AGAIN.THERE ARE A LOT OF US WHO ARE LOOKING FOR SUCH A PRODUCT AS THIS.THANKS FOR PROVIDING IT TO US. |
15,523 | It is hard to tell if any animal deterrent is actually working, but there seem to be no more cat droppings in the areas I used this. It has a peppery smell which is an irritant. This is obviously how it works. In areas that do not get rained on the odor, and presumably the effectiveness seems to last (several weeks now). In areas that get rain (or watered) then smell goes away quickly, but it still seems effective. This may be due to the training of the cats to stay away even after the smell dissipates.
The shaker container is easy to use and stays closed/sealed between applications.
So far, so good. |
15,524 | This pack of six boxes is a great bargain. Although I've been trying to buy more nutritional and healthy treats, I still keep a stash of these because my dog likes them. I would be happier though if the manufacturer didn't use artificial coloring, and I'm somewhat suspicious of the little pieces of hair I've seen embedded in the "marrow" part. I haven't seen any bugs that other reviewers have mentioned. |
15,525 | I love granola cereal and since I'm watching my weight, I decided to try the Kashi GO LEAN Crunch. Well, needless to say, it is not satisying my granola cereal craving at all. It is totally lacking in flavor and texture. I guess some things you just can't mess with and one of them is granola. IMO, LIGHT granola is just that, "light"-weight. I'm going back to the Quaker Oats 100% Natural Granola Cereal, which by the way, does include raisins and almonds so I don't have to add my own. |
15,526 | This is terrible popcorn! No taste, poor popping ratio. and the size OMG! I popped this Gourmet popping corn in front of a party, everyone busted out in laughter! |
15,527 | Well, we were recipients of a box of Kind bars...and were hooked. Ordered a variety of six different Kind bars from Amazon and settled in on the "simple" but delicious Nut
Delight as our personal favorite, with a couple of others which boast of dark chocolate as good substitutes...like the one with cherries. Kind is now our choice in the house for any "sweet treat." Enjoy! |
15,528 | The Diamond II is a very rich and strong coffee. A bit pricey but worth every penny. If you don't want to fork out the money for this, the Gold blend is nearly as good at a much lower price point. |
15,529 | My 17 month old boy loves these, I don't give him as much of these as I used to since he is now into table food more than purees, but I would mix half of this in his oatmeal in the morning or if we are out, I'll use these as a snack or dessert. They are a good handy pouch to throw in your diaper bag and can sit there for days, if not weeks! I love all the ingredients in this one, baby seems to enjoy it too! |
15,530 | This protein bar is below average @ best. It's advertised as "creamy peanut butter", but there's nothing creamy about it...more like chalky, dense, salty, with a hint of after taste seasoning. I wasn't expecting a peanut butter cup, nor was this my first protein bar, but with all the good reviews? sometimes i think its just minions from the inside. don't be fooled i have a very broad palette and know a good product when i taste it, this isn't it. Buy 1 bar, taste it, throw it away, then thank me for not buying the entire box. |
15,531 | (ASIN: B004LWGLQ0) Cottie is a little cat, approximately 10-12 pounds of love. I buy 1-2# bags of food so he gets a balance of those foods he refuses to eat in canned form. With the smaller size, I also keep him from being bored with his diet, which I understand can be a problem for cats. The larger bags are more economical, but they would hang around for too long, and he would tire of eating what's in them.
This is the latest newbie; they are all kept together in one of these huge storage bins with a top that secures very well to the bottom, keeping food fresh and bugs out.
I have taken to writing a note for each bag, stating the dates he was fed and what went in bowl #2 (there is no bowl #3, for those of you old enough to recall daytime TV of old.) The only other thing I could add to this recommendation would be if I were to observe him eating it, and make yet another note of the date he finished the portion. And do the same for a couple of other foods for comparison purposes. |
15,532 | Sweet but not sickly sweet, delicious and smooth with some crunch. Chocolate shouldn't taste this good because I had a hard time stopping with this treat :)
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
In California, I sometimes buy it in a local European/Russian deli store. Other than that, I'd have to get it online. |
15,533 | My kid wouldn't drink anything except Strawberry flavored Carnation Instant Breakfast drink in the mornings. I couldnt find this flavor in any of our local groceries. Thanks for Amazon for the prompt delivery.I stocked up on this item, so that I do not need to worry for a while. |
15,534 | I have ordered this particular product many times. It is an excellent quality, good color and flavor. I will reorder again. |
15,535 | The best flavor of the puffs. Not too sugary and not too fake tasting. We love them in our house. |
15,536 | I use to buy the McCormick Montreal Steak since ten years ago for my restaurant and I really love this seasoning. I live out of The USA, and for this reason Amazon is a great supplier. |
15,537 | KRAFT has a slam-dunk - VERY close in taste a well known fast food place. MiO is handy to have at work, or on a trip. I love the notion that one can control the strength of the flavor, with ease.
I keep one in my desk,and one at home. Water just got an "upgrade". Really nice! |
15,538 | Created by the Head Monster himself, these mints are incredible and are worthy of the Monster name. A rare find. |
15,539 | I was looking for a good natural food bar with whole food ingredients and no added sweeteners. This bar was it. This bar is delicious plus the coconut adds just enough fat to prevent large drops in blood sugar and control my appetite for a good long time. I will definitely be buying this again. |
15,540 | Perhaps I'm a little biased since this gum tastes exactly like my favorite melon flavored ice cream but this really is the most delicious gum I've ever chewed in my life. If you're looking for a long lasting gum, this is NOT the gum for you. The gum does not last long and after about an hour of chewing, it begins to get too soft. If you're looking for a fresh breath minty gum, this is also NOT the gum for you. The gum great as a sugarfree alternative for those with a sweet tooth. 5 stars for flavor only. |
15,541 | Really good if you are looking for a coffee substitute! I am really enjoying it! |
15,542 | My friend bought this jelly the other day and it was just kinda blah, no real flavor, just a bland concentrate taste. I prefer TA Homestead, it's organic, sustainably harvested, and is handmade. |
15,543 | I found these by accident, they sounded good - and there are just no words to describe how wonderful they are! Not too sweet, you can eat an entire pack in one sitting, & still get fewer calories than a small bowl of ice cream, plus the health benefits of honey. Cheaper on this site than the company site, too. |
15,544 | I am always looking for an alternative sweetener to get away from fructose. Most of the artificial sweeteners on the market are terrible for your health - I will name splenda as one of the worse. Stevia is made directly from the dried leaves of the Stevia plant so that is acceptable, but I find it kind of bitter and it is very expensive. You can google "xylitol benefits" and get all kinds of interesting information, but I will just reiterate some of the very interesting benefits I found when googling:
Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol that has been recognized by dentists and health professionals worldwide as a great alternative to white sugar.
Commonly found in chewing gum and breathmints, Xylitol is known to have a many health benefits associated with its use.
1. Safe For Diabetics
Unlike sugar, xylitol is not easily converted to fat. Because it is not easily converted to fat, it has almost no effect on insulin levels, making it a safe sugar alternative for diabetics, body builders, dieters, pregnant/nursing women, and also for babies and children.
2. Helps Prevent Cavities
Since it is a non-fermentable sugar, it cannot be converted to acid by oral bacteria. Thus, the alkaline-acid balance in the mouth is maintained, which helps in preventing cavities.
3. Helps Prevent Ear Infections
Xylitol can also be used as medicine in prohibiting certain bacterial growth to help prevent ear infections in young children. It will also help clear out earwax and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in the pharyngotympanic tubes, connecting the nose and ear.
4. Slows the Growth of Candida
Xylitol helps prevent bad breath, ulcers, and stomach cancer by slowing down the growth of Candida Albicans (a serious yeast infection), and other harmful bacteria like H. pylori.
5. May Improve Bone Density
According to research from the University of Oulu in Finland, xylitol was shown to help improve bone density in rats. This indicates it has potential as a treatment for osteoporosis in humans. For optimal bone health, it is recommended that you eat foods high in calcium or take a calcium supplement.
6. Helps Tooth Enamel & Strength
In addition to preventing cavities, consuming xylitol in small amounts helps decrease plaque formation, and promotes salivation to prevent "dry mouth", which aids in enhancing mineral absorption for repairing damaged tooth enamel, while increasing tooth strength.
7. Increases White Blood Cell Activity
Xylitol, when taken in small amounts, can help increase the white blood cell activity in fighting bacterial infections, to help build immunity, protect against chronic degenerative disease and have anti-aging benefits.
8. Prevents Streptococcus mutans In Newborns
When used by nursing mothers on a regular basis, it helps reduce the transmission of Streptococcus mutans (oral bacteria that causes cavities) to children by up to 80% during the first two years.
9. May Help With Allergies & Sinus Infection's
When used as a nasal spray, xylitol is said to be able to help reduce the prevalence of sinus infections, asthma and allergies. It helps decrease the amount of harmful bacteria that may be in the cells of our nose.
10. May Lower Risk of Ovarian Cysts
Xylitol may help lower your risk of developing ovarian cysts, polycystic ovarian syndrome (a condition that disrupts or stops the ovulation cycle), fibroids, endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome and possibly breast cancer.
So, there appear to be a lot of benefits. For negatives, there are a couple. If you are looking for xylitol on the market, you will find that most of the xylitol offerings come from corn sources. Now, almost all corn is GMO and I personally stay away from genetically modified food. So, looking for xylitol from some other source, I ran across this brand which uses organic birch trees. The other negative is that xylitol can cause gas in some people. It really bothers my wife, so she stays away from it in food. It does make me a little gassy, but if you use it in small amounts, it appears to be fine. I like to use it in mixed alcoholic drinks instead of sugar. I tried to slip some into some muffins I made, but my wife detected the after-effects, so she put a kibosh on that use around the house.
So, it is kind of expensive, but this 1.5 lbs will get you by if you use it to sweeten coffee, mixed drinks, etc. It does taste pretty close to regular sugar and it does have some health benefits as stated above. I like it in muffins and other baked goods - I just have to eat whatever I make by myself since the wife does not like the after-effects. If you are a non-GMO person, then this is the brand for you. |
15,545 | I love sour patch cherries, however, I don't recommend buying this one day when you have a craving, there is simply way too much candy. I'm completely sick of them and I've only eaten half of one bag. |
15,546 | I've picked up the smaller size at convenience stores and have always liked them. I read some of the reviews and one person mentioned how very salty they were, but I bought this pack of 12 anyway. I thought maybe he was just a little sensitive, but, wow, he was right! I like the flavor, but cannot eat much of it at once. I eat only a small amount each time and close the package back up. The small ones I get in the convenience stores don't seem this salty. |
15,547 | After Fedex finally got it delivered; they lost the first shipment and had to have the shipper resend it, so I got it a month later LOL; I couldn't wait to open a can and enjoy. And that is exactly what I did. The taste of the ginger soda is exactly like I remember it, growing up in Western NY. Vernor's puts to shame both Schwepps and Canada Dry ginger ale. Love it :) Thank you :) |
15,548 | I agree with Ms Brown, this is a great product to use in place of tuna or poltery. It tastes great and is healhty for you. |
15,549 | This is basically candy masquerading as a "healthy" snack. They taste good - because they have three different kinds of sugar in them! Blue Diamond wants you to think that eating sugar is a healthy snack - c'mon!
I purchased these thinking they were sweetened with stevia. Yeah, there's a miniscule amount of stevia (very last ingredient) - but sugars are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ingredient listed. These have corn maltodextrin - the worst thing there is on the glycemic index (can you say fat formation?). Now I'm stuck with 3 containers of this sugar snack. |
15,550 | Our company gave these as gives at a corprate party in February 2011. There were 20 handed out to Exec. Staff. By Christmas, every one had died.
I LOVED having coffee ready at my elbow whenever I wanted it, but it isn't worth the money for 8 months of convenience. |
15,551 | This is a pretty good tasting sauce, but there just aren't a lot of uses for it. Its shelf life isn't very long so unless you eat a lot of tacos and taco salad then it will most likely be wasted. |
15,552 | This makes a nice robust cup of coffee without being bitter or tasting scorched, just a good coffee taste. Its not overpriced; and will please most anyone you serve it to. I will be buying this again, pleased with this purchase. |
15,553 | The product itself is great, thus my 5 stars. My dogs love these and I think it's helping their dry skin, but ... WOW @ the price! I had no idea the 6-oz. size is the same package I buy at PetsMart for $4.99 - HALF the cost I paid here - and for 3 bags at that! :((((( I had run out, so I didn't have a package to check the size. I thought I'd add these to my Amazon order for convenience, and *assumed* the 6-oz. bag must be considerably larger than the ones I get at PetsMart, given that the price was TWICE - very odd for Amazon, so I never suspected the packages are the same size! People - definitely get these from PetsMart, or check PetsMart or Petco online even - this is WAY OVERPRICED! If I could have rated the price itself, it would have gotten ZERO STARS ~ |
15,554 | Having a variety right at your finger tips is a pleasure. |
15,555 | I really like this and I'm back for more. It does have a slight artificial sweetner taste to it. I don't mind at all but I know for some that's a deal breaker. I ordered this in autumn when I traditionally start to crave hot cider. Soon, I found I was reaching for it all the time. It's perfect for when I think I've had enough caffeine for the moment. Plus, it's guilt free with only ten calories a cup. This is the first product I've signed up for auto shipping. I've come back twice now and figure this is gonna be a constant in my cubbard. |
15,556 | I like Pepsi, but you have got to be kidding with this ridiculous 'SALE' PRICEPepsi Cola, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) |
15,557 | I ordered the 16oz Cowboy Strips Original, the product arrived promptly, and this is some of the best jerky I've had. Reminds me of a brand (long forgotten) I loved as a kid (1960's).
This Jerky is not too sweet and with a hard texture like Jack Links, Oberto, and the store brands. Nice salty taste, thicker strips, tender (for Jerky) texture. The one pound size is a great value too.
I ordered two more pounds of Cowboy Strips, Pepper and Original right away.
I hope you plan to continue to offer the 16oz bags. I will definately be a loyal customer.
Thanks for a great product! |
15,558 | Not only does this product taste great, it is good for baby. These are very handy to carry in a diaper bag, and can be eaten without a spoon. Remember to keep an eye on the expiration date because their shelf life is relatively short due to the fact that they are organic. I just rec'd this last week and it expire in July -- only 2 months. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in organic baby food, but it is rather expensive. |
15,559 | My cat children love, love, love this product! My Daughter worked for a veterinarian, and brought home some sample packs. Well, why did she do that? Those cats went into a tastebud frenzy! The call of one of their names AND everybody comes running! Even my Dog asks for the treats and they are just tiny, weeny in size, but she loves them as well; and will sit until she gets one as well! This treat was vet recommended and cat approved! The Seller's price point was better than every 'Google' search...Even with Petco and Petsmart!!! Go figure! The delivery time was equally good. Would not only recommend this product but would recommend this Seller. Would purchase from this Seller in the future as well. |
15,560 | Sometimes I get a craving for Spaghetti with meat sauce and don't always have leftovers of my own sauce to satisfy that craving so I purchased this product. I was disappointed. I expected a much better flavor considering it was Hormel. The meat was kinda hard. I picked it all out before eating the spaghetti and sauce. I dont regret purchasing it because it did fill the void, however I will not be purchasing it again. |
15,561 | I guess I was expecting something like the Campbells Mushroom soup but that is my fault since I did not notice the absence of the word 'condensed'. However, the directions do say to ADD a can of water to this little can before heating. But it is like drinking flavored water before you add any additional water. I do like that there is quite a nice quantity of mushrooms included. But....I find two main problems with this soup: it tasted like a bowl full of flavored salt and it is so loaded with Monosodium Glutamate that I woke up with a headache the next morning!! This is what a large dose of MSG does to me so I know that they had to add lots of MSG to make this soup have any flavor at all. I'll have to use it not as a soup but as a topping for casseroles or when baking chicken even though it is so dilute and loaded with salt and MSG. Maybe I'll just give them to the local food bank. The can may say it has 1875 mg of salt per small 10.5 ounce can but it tastes like it has at least twice that amount in it.....and this is a very small can of soup! That's nearly one whole day's worth of allowable salt per one small can. And ofcourse the neurotoxicity of the MSG is soooo scary too. No, I can not recommend this soup to anyone! Heck, I won't ever buy any Rokeach product ever again! Stay away from this disceptively dangerous little can! |
15,562 | Very nice stuff. Not too sweet (not sweet at all). Tastes like what Monteczuma might have drank. A little bitter but VERY refreshing. Might be the Belgian Chocolate.
I would recommend this to any serious chocoholic. |
15,563 | My husband had a bowl of steel cut oatmeal at a restaurant a short while ago and he came home raving about how different and good it was. We then decided to "google" steel cut oatmeal and then went to Amazon to see if it could be purchased, as we could not find it in any store. The McCANN'S Steel Cut Irish oatmeal is just like the restaurant according to my husband, and he has been making it every morning for breakfast along with a bit of brown sugar. We will be giving a tin out to friends as a little Christmas present, too!! It is a great product and by the way, it makes great "crunchy" cookies as the texture is that way. |
15,564 | I thought this was a really good movie! Since it's a film by Tim Burton, you get a dark, depressing feel, and Danny Elfman music, and stripes. Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Winona Ryder all did a perfect job! Michael Keaton is hilarious and awesome as Beetlejuice! Adam and Barbara Maitland die in a car crash, they are given a rule book to go by on how to be dead. The Deetz family moves in, but Adam and Barbara want them out. Somehow, they're hot gothic daughter, Lydia can see them. They become friends, but they still want to scare them out. They seek the help of Beetlejuice, who is extremely obnoxious, and a bio-exorcist who tries to help Adam and Barbara, but he's too scary and obnoxious to leave and stop. The Deetz's bring Adam and Barbara back from the dead, but Lydia doesn't want them to because it'll torture them. Desperately, she asks Beetlejuice to help. If you love gothic comedy, you'll love BEETLEJUICE!!! |
15,565 | These treats are wonderful. They are healthy and you can tell they are full of EFA's. They do smell to high heaven of fish, so if you can't stand that smell, you won't like these. My dog won't eat fish, but she LOVES these. My dog does not drool, except when you open these up! These are her favorite treats, and she is a 45lb medium mutt. They are perfect for training rewards. She hates having her nails clipped, so when we clip her nails, I have my fiance pinch one of these in his fingers and she tries to get it from him and she's totally distracted from me clipping her nails. The price is right especially if you have prime! |
15,566 | I was planning a Lego party for my son and saw these on Pinterest and had to get them. I wasn't planning on eating them myself because all the reviews said they don't taste very good, but I wanted to get them because I knew they would be a big hit and they really were!! The kids had a blast building with them and They really don't taste that bad (like Smarties) the yellow ones taste like the yellow banana runts. My husband even stashed a handful so he would have some :P I would totally tell others to order these for there parties! |
15,567 | This is the perfect blend of salty and sweet, and a nice amount of calories for a mid-morning or afternoon snack. It is not overloaded with peanuts (too often used as filler for other nut mixes) and the peanuts are honey roasted (the preparation of peanut I like best other than boiled!). I wish they had it in a larger tub (I feel like the extra packaging is increasing my carbon footprint) but it is cheaper if calculating price by the ounce than a 9 ounce container bought at a supermarket or drugstore. |
15,568 | As we say in Portuguese, it "has the taste of want some more"... Always fresh and so tasteful... A perfect gift for for our loved ones.... |
15,569 | Shipping was horrible. They claimed they couldn't keep it cool for delivery to NY in the summer (How come Godiva can?)
Chocolates good, but........ (others can be better-maybe these were just handled & shipped so poorly that they were no longer good).
Gave as gift, I think I can probably do better. |
15,570 | We have found that these Hash Browns are very similar to the ones served at the local Waffle House and we all love those potatoes. We have been unable to find these in our local grocery stores so finding them on Amazon was a wonderful surprise.
Great taste |
15,571 | This is a nice, small snack for my dog. Especially in the evening, when I get myself a little snack - I can get one of the Fruitables for my dog so he doesn't bother me for my snack! They are very cute too - shaped like a flower. Looks like Fruitables will be a staple snack for my dog. |
15,572 | My little guy will not eat the supposedly tasty hard pills, so these chewy ones are perfect for him. He thinks its an awesome treat, and if I skip a day or two, I see a huge difference in how he moves around. He will be on this stuff for life, and at 39.99, its a great price! |
15,573 | This is a great product and while my cats don't eat much of it they eat enough to maintain a healthy weight. The product I received did not have the X kibbles in the description. My cats would like it better if they were X kibbles since they find that easier to grab with their teeth and chew on. I would buy this again. |
15,574 | I have been running as a US Marine for years.. as I got older I stumbled upon this product. I run pretty much every day, and I hate running. I do it cause I have to. This product I definately notice helps my running greatly. My legs feel alot less heavy, and my runs with its use, are better than without. I would reccomend it, and have. I used to get it Mega cheap at a local store. Now I gotta order it, but It is well worth it. Give it a try. |
15,575 | The container was only half full but it tasted good, kinda expensive for only half a jar...not sure if would buy again. |
15,576 | This rice is ok. I like all the different rice in this blend but somehow this brand falls short. The white rice cooks before the black rice does and it is very tough to get the cooking of it just right. I wouldn't use in any but the most advanced of rice cookers |
15,577 | I have used stevia for several years now. I love this brand the best...the liquid and the little powder packs. I would never go back to the pink or blue packs of powdered chemicals!!! |
15,578 | Very good and filling to have at home as a snack or on the go when I don't have time to cook. |
15,579 | These truffles were excellent, especially for the ease of buying them through Amazon. I had been ordering truffles from the west coast, which (the truffle maker said) had to be shipped in dry ice. The cost of the shipping was higher than the cost of truffles. We were so pleased when we tasted these truffles---good chocolate, no hassle--thanks! |
15,580 | For years I have loved Pillsbury Quick Breads. We moved from Chicago to a small town and now can't find them except at Christmas time. So I ordered a nice supply! I highly recommend this product and also the timely shipping by amazon.com. |
15,581 | BUYER BEWARE! I just received this '24-Count' of Moozles, only there was just a single Moozle in the pack. NOT worth the shipping & handling cost. |
15,582 | Completely satisfied with this purchase. Product arrived in a timely manner and the product was as stated. A great product at a great price, will definitely buy again. |
15,583 | Our son begs for these mango "drinks" so it's a great way to get a little one to take in some healthy fruits! |
15,584 | ok , it is verygood,thank you for amazon.Label this review so customers know you purchased this item at Amazon.Learn more
Also label your reviews for other items purchased at Amazon. |
15,585 | Bigelow Green Tea is available everywhere in American supermarkets, but it's just not a very good green tea. It produces an amber-colored brew that lacks the crisp tannin flavors that should be in quality green tea. With the prominent drawing of Mount Fuji and distinctive Shinto torii (Itsukushima, a UNESCO world heritage site) on the box, you might think this is Japanese green tea. It is not. No information is listed on where it is grown, except that it is "packaged and blended in the USA".
Green tea is very good for health because of the abundance of catechins and flavinoids (antioxidant compounds) and has half the caffeine of black tea. Good Japanese green tea produces tea that is clear pale yellow-green, or very dark green, depending on the tea grade. These helpful chemicals, however, get mostly destroyed during roasting. Catechins are also responsible for the bright aroma and astringent taste of green tea, which is lacking in this product. With its brown leaf particles (see my photo comparison in gallery) and resulting brown liquid, Bigelow is more like hojicha, a roasted green tea. The flavor is very thin and I have to use 2 bags per cup of tea.
A much better quality tea is Kirkland Signature Green Tea Matcha Blend, 100% Japanese Tea Leaves, which is surprisingly good for a tea sold in non-specialty supermarkets. It is made by Ito-En, one of Japan's biggest beverage makers. I first heard about it because it is the tea used by staff at the Japanese Embassy in DC.
As for directions, the ideal temperature for green tea 70-80°C, NOT boiling (100°C) as the product description recommends. Sugar is seldom added to green tea, though it is frequently enjoyed cold. |
15,586 | Both my dogs (a 20 pound mutt and 30 pound Welsh Corgi) happily chewed on these, and unlike other reviewers, neither my dogs have not gotten sick. It could have been a bad batch out there...which even happens with people food. I will not hesitate to give these to my dogs again -- they seemed to really enjoy them! |
15,587 | If you're not into a healthy lifestyle, get these - they are DELICIOUS! "You can't eat just one!"
It contains MSG and other "stuff." - You've been warned! It's very delicious, though... |
15,588 | Unless you are very gullible and easily conned into trying something new based on false advertising claims you won't even bother to try this fancy bottled water with black plant scum added to it. Listen...
"So, black water marketers have taken the sciencey angle to target the new age and organic folks and the alternative medicine subscribers. All bases covered! But wait, they also appeal to real housewives. Jacqueline Laurita on Real Housewives of New Jersey says, "Scientists called it [fulvic acid] the miracle molecule because it's so small." She added that drinking blk. water would make your hair, nails, and skin glow and could also help with hangovers. Wow! I bet it cleans my car too. What doesn't it do?
Black water has a dark side, for sure. It's a gimmick. Once you learn the sales pitch used to market useless dietary supplements or overpriced, overhyped food stuffs, you can begin to understand sciencey market-speak pretty easily. There is much of it in the organic aisle of the supermarket.
I can't conclude that any of us needs fulvic/humic acid supplements, and there currently is no evidence I have found to support that the "miracle" fulvic acid does anything to benefit your health. I would predict that the oddness of the black water products and the price, combined with no observable benefits to the consumer, will likely result in this fad fading away. But give them a prize for their stylish, sciencey black marketing." |
15,589 | This is one of my favorite coffees and yes I have tried many many brands. Starbucks is too strong for my liking but this one really is smooth and not bitter at all. A great morning coffee!! |
15,590 | Farmers produce coconut palm sugar by making slits in the buds of a coconut tree to collect the sap. The sap is boiled until it thickens and then dried into hard cakes, which are ground into powder (see photo of the sugar I posted above). Coconut palms grow under drought conditions in sandy soil. They not only use one-fifth the water and soil nutrients of sugar cane, they also enrich (vs. deplete) the soil and produce 50-70% more sugar per acre.
The Big Tree Farms brand of coconut palm sugar is not mixed with any other type of sugar as some other brands are. It is a 100% organic, natural sweetener which is not filtered or bleached as white sugar is. When sugar is bleached, the process involves using ground up animal bones, thus, this non-bleached sugar is vegan.
The major claim to fame of coconut palm sugar is that lab tests have apparently shown that this product has a glycemic index (GI) of 35, compared to agave nectar at 42, honey at 62, cane sugar (sucrose) at 64, and date sugar at 103. A low GI is 55 or less. A medium GI is 56 - 69. A high GI 70 or more.
Those who are concerned about the environment and humane labor practices will approve of the fact that this product is sustainably produced by smallholder farmers on the island of Java, Indonesia. All of the money earned from growing, harvesting and processing this sugar stays in the local community that produces it, and Big Tree Farms states on their website that they work directly with international, non-governmental organizations to create and maintain supply chains for this product that are "transparent and socially equitable."
I purchased this particular brand of coconut palm sugar as a substitute for white and brown sugar in dessert recipes because my husband is a vegan and I'm on a "mostly vegan" diet. I have uploaded photos above to show the chocolate cookies I made using this sugar. (Note that I also substituted coconut oil for butter.) My husband and I love the taste and texture of these cookies, and I will definitely continue using this product.
If you are not a vegan or vegetarian, there are two issues that might affect your decision as to whether to invest in this product:
First, the claim of a very low GI of 35: Big Tree Farms states on their website the following: "pure, organic coconut palm sugar is typically 70-79% sucrose, 3-9% glucose, and 3-9% fructose." They also state that they believe the high sucrose content is what makes the GI level so low. I find this explanation confusing, because this product is touted as a healthy substitute for table sugar, which is 100% sucrose. The logic of how this sweetener, which is 80% sucrose, can have only 55% of the GI rating of table sugar that is 100% sucrose makes no mathematical or scientific sense to me.
Second, the high cost: If you are not a vegan or vegetarian, I'm not convinced that the presumed health benefits of this sugar make it worth the extra cost and hassle of obtaining it. You can conveniently buy brown sugar at your local supermarket for about 89 cents per pound and white sugar for about 38 cents per pound--and they often go on sale. That's really cheap, and the GI is not "high"--it is "medium" at 64. In contrast to that low cost, this product sells for between $4-$5/pound. Since a pound of any kind of granulated sugar consists of 2-1/4 cups, that comes to $1.78-$2.22/cup for this product compared to 40 cents/cup for brown sugar and 17 cents/cup for white sugar.
But, you might ask, isn't refined sugar bad for you, and isn't this much-less-refined sugar good for you? Actually, few health experts believe that any sugar outside of that found in whole, unprocessed fruits and vegetables is healthy. But few of us have the willpower to completely give up sweets. Hence the goal of trying to keep the GI levels as low as possible while eating them. A much cheaper way to do that than buying this sugar is to use a couple of tricks I learned during the years I spent on the Zone and Atkins diets: (1) Bake your sweets with any sugar you please and consume protein at the same time you eat the sweets in a Zone or Atkins ratio. (2) Make the baked goods themselves have a definitely lower GI by decreasing the carbs and increasing the protein content. Substitute stevia, lo han guo and sugar alcohols for table sugar, and plain protein powder for wheat flour (which has a GI of about 71).
If you are completely convinced that "natural" sugar is healthier than table sugar, this product is certainly less expensive than some other alternative sweeteners you can buy and doesn't have some of the problems they cause when substituting them for table sugar in baked-goods recipes. For example, lo han guo (Slim Sweet) sells for around $17-$22/pound and stevia sells for between $54-$70/pound (both of these are also vegan, by the way). Marketers of lo han guo and stevia claim that those sweeteners are over 200 times as sweet as table sugar. I personally find this claim to be grossly inflated. To my own taste and that of my family, lo han guo is about 8 times as sweet as table sugar, and stevia is about 16 times as sweet. Regardless, the fact that they are so much sweeter than table sugar means that if you try and substitute them for it in a recipe, since you don't need nearly as much of them, the texture and "mouth feel" of the finished product simply isn't the same. For uncooked foods, though, such as smoothies, tea and coffee, lo han guo and stevia are great.
In contrast to lo han guo and stevia for baking, sucanat (at about $2.60/pound), date sugar (at about $4/pound), and this product have the same sweetness as table sugar and can be substituted in a ratio of 1:1 in recipes for cakes and cookies, allowing the recipe to retain a similar taste and texture to what it has when made with table sugar. Sucanat, however, has about the same GI as table sugar, and date sugar's GI is through the roof at 103, the same as for dates, because it is made from finely ground dates. |
15,591 | This is a good alternative to regular chips is you have to watch calories and carbs, however, this wasn't really as good as other brands of soy or low carb. I bought the 12 pak a while back, and still a bunch in the cupboard. I guess that I am the not the only one here (Family of 5) that didn't care for them. I prefer the Robert's Gourmet as did the rest of the family. Expecially the Ranch. Really good. Texture and flavor is much better |
15,592 | Hershey's Nuggets, Special Dark with Almonds, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4)
I began eating one Nugget per day after reading of the health benefits of dark chocolate and almonds. Unfortunately, Hershey's decided to replace this candy with its new Bliss Chocolate line. Each piece of Bliss candy contains tiny chips of almonds instead of a whole almond, and the chocolate is not as intense as in the Nuggets. Once again, I turned to Amazon.com to buy my favorites, and I now have a stockpile for at least several months. Eating one Nugget per day is a great treat and helps control your blood pressure and cholesterol. |
15,593 | I've been eating these Belgian cookies since i was a child growing up in Belgium. They're a very old cookie called Couques de Bastogne (Bastogne cookies, from the town where the Battle of the Bulge took place). They were first marketed in the U.S. under that name but since that didn't mean much to Americans the name's been changed several times over the 20 or so years I've seen them around. My local grocery store (I live in the Rockies) was carrying them, then Nabisco took over the LU brand and quit carrying the Bastogne here. I just bought several boxes in NYC at a deli next to Time Square and really wanted more. So happy to have found them on Amazon.
They're a bit sweet, that's true, and that is a bit unusual for a European cookie but they make the best dunking cookie: cold milk, coffee of hot chocolate. They're similar to the the Lotus cinnamon cookie also made in Belgium that Delta serves on its flights. sorry the name escapes me. I prefer the texture of the Cinnamon Sugar Spice; it's lighter. |
15,594 | I don't know how what I tried could be considered the same as what all the rave reviews are coming in for.
When we got our new Keurig brewer for Christmas it came with a sample pack of 12 different coffees. We were excited for the opportunity to try different blends before purchasing an entire (pricey) box of any one flavor.
To preface: I enjoy flavored coffees. French vanilla, mocha, hazelnut... Pretty much any variety available. I was really excited to try Gloria Jean's Hazelnut since it was one of the few flavored options in the sample pack. I typically enjoy smooth medium roasts and I can't stand bitter coffee with a pungent aftertaste.
Unfortunately, though, this brew is without-a-doubt undrinkable. So bitter and thick. I couldn't believe this was supposed to be a flavored blend. It smelled burnt as soon as it was brewed. We brewed an 8 ounce cup since typically flavored coffees tend to be weaker so we assumed brewing the smaller size cup would allow us to enjoy to most flavor. The coffee was dark in appearance and both my boyfriend and I tried it befor dumping it out in the sink because the taste was so foul.
Aside from its burnt flavor and bitter aftertaste, it's also worth mentioning that I couldn't detect any hazelnut notes at all. Very disappointing.
I'd never tried a Gloria Jean brand coffee before and now I'm nervous to try another. I might attempt the Butter Toffee flavor if I can find it in a small pack. But I'll avoid hazelnut from now on. |
15,595 | I am absolutely shocked that I love this coffee. I do like some flavored coffees but I also like Extra Bold strong coffee, black. And I wouldn't even call myself a huge blueberry fan. I only tried the blueberry because it was in a sampler box I bought. But the smell as it was brewing was amazing. Still I was skeptical as I took the first sip. I mean, really? Blueberry coffee? But it is delicious! Will definitely be getting more! |
15,596 | I purchased this item based on the rave reviews but was disappointed. Maybe my expectations were raised too high. It's not bad but I wouldn't call the taste 'real theater'. |
15,597 | Easy to store/use, low calorie. Not quite as good as store-bought refrigerated when using for barbecuing, but great in stir-fry. |
15,598 | I use anchovy paste for Caesar salad and have tried several brands. The Alessi brand seemed "hard" by comparison, a bit weak in taste, and was more difficult to mix. As I ordered 10, I will use them up but will probably not order this brand again. I also had trouble opening the tube with the cap as usual and had to get a knife. |
15,599 | I would of given this product a 5 star review but since the shipper failed to put adequate packing in the box, the majority of the cans arrived dented. Luckily, none of the cans had failed. Coco Lopez is an excellent product and the price was very good.
This same problem was cited by another Amazon customer. I decided to give this company another chance, too bad they haven't solved their packing issues. |
