16,200 | As of Nov 2007, the Keebler website says that each 16 gram serving contains 1 gram of trans fat!
Don't take my word for it that this is terrible, because here are some quotations from the survey article
Mozaffarian et al "Trans Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease,"
The New England Journal of Medicine, volume 354,
pages 1601-1613 (2006).
Here are a few quotations from this article:
"given the 1.2 million annual myocardial infarctions and deaths from CHD ["coronary heart disease"] in the United States, near-elimination of industrially produced trans fats might avert between 72,000 (6 percent) and 228,000 (19 percent) CHD events [i.e. "heart attacks"] each year. These estimates are based on the replacement of trans fats with carbohydrates. In practice, however, trans fats in partially hydrogenated oils would most commonly be replaced with unhydrogenated (cis) unsaturated fats,6 which may have additional potential benefits as compared with carbohydrates. If such additional potential benefit is considered, greater proportions of CHD events (12 to 22 percent) might be averted."
Note that the disproportionate percentage of heart disease attributable to trans-fat is astonishing, since the authors point on on the first page that trans-fat makes up only a tiny proportion of the american diet:
"The average consumption of industrially produced trans fatty acids in the United States is 2 to 3 percent of total calories consumed."
They conclude
"On the basis of evidence from in vitro experimental studies, dietary trials, and prospective observational studies, the consumption of trans fatty acids from partially hydrogenated oils provides no apparent nutritional benefit and has considerable potential for harm."
Professor Willett (one of the co-authors of the above article) is the chairman of Harvard's nutrition department, the author of the medical school textbook "nutritional epidemiology", and the most-cited author in his field. He has also written about trans-fat for a general audience in his book "Eat, Drink, and be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide for Healthy Eating." |
16,201 | I've gotten these for around a dollar per 2-pack at my grocery store, so the price here isn't that great (though the convenience of them showing at the door might make it worthwhile). But skip for the price, not for the BPA. There is no BPA in them. See their website:
http://www.gerber.com/faq?catid=5225
I know the BPA stuff is scary, but you have to be careful before you put reviews up on websites that scare new mothers for no reason, especially since many mothers use this and don't need the guilt of thinking they've been unknowingly harming their children. I used these packs with my older child and now with my baby, and they are very convenient for diaper-bag use - no breakage! I skip them for home use since they don't recycle, and our grocery store has a good/cheap organic line packed in glass. |
16,202 | One of the only things my mini poodle gets to eat. They don't bother him has long it is in moderation, if he is allowed a whole one it will give him the runs. But he loves them for a few minutes a day and keeps him quite entertained for a little while. They don't smell really at all. I am not sure how a normal dog that can eat other things would like them, but he is allergic to everything so he likes them quite well. We use the Bento ball with them. |
16,203 | Please don't purchase this cereal if you expect there to be chocolate filling inside. The picture on the box and on advertising are 100% misleading. I initially thought that my batch was defective because the insides were only filled with air. Finally I realized that there was indeed an incredibly small, barely noticeable dollop of chocolate inside. I guess the taste isn't that bad overall, but just don't expect any chocolate filling to be inside (or at least not a significant amount). |
16,204 | RJ's licorice is, without a doubt, the BEST licorice around, and I've tried them all. The individual pieces are weighty and substantial in the hand. The stuff is tender to the feel, with just the right amount of give between the fingers to let you know what you are in for when you take that first bite. And boy, is it good! The flavor blooms on the tongue, whether you chew or just roll it around, but the texture begs to be bitten. The taste is full, along with the aroma, and remains robust to the very end. I never tire of eating this stuff. I only stop because I think I probably should, and look forward to getting into the bag the next day, or at the least, a few hours later...I got a bag of RJ's that was so soft and tender that I downed all but a very few pieces in the first sitting, not too much to say that I was wild with delight over the experience. I went back to the market to buy some more. Over a few days the licorice loses just a touch of the original softness, but this doesn't detract from the flavor or the enjoyable bite. I store it in a plastic bag. And last, but certainly not the least important issue about RJ's- the ingredients are ALL natural-nothing artificial about this stuff, and no corn syrup-just the best of the best. Whoever worked this recipe out deserves every penny they can make off the stuff. Thank you to RJ's for bringing it to the world! |
16,205 | My husband is the big coffee drinker around this house and he's the one that ordered these specific ones. He absolutely loves them and has them all the time even though we have many other flavors. He says they taste exactly like chocolate donuts!! Would recommend! |
16,206 | WE HAVE 5 DOGS. THREE ARE SPECIAL NEEDS DOGS WE ADOPTED. COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT THESE PILL POCKETS. ALL 5 LOVE THEM AND MAKES IT A BREEZE TO GET THE "MEDICINE DOWN". |
16,207 | The tree looks healthy, arrived quickly, etc., but came in a high rectangular green container instead of the low round white one in the picture. I picked this tree over similar ficuses because of the container...so this is disappointing. However, the tree looks good. |
16,208 | Went back to order this again and realized that it has been almost a year ago that I placed my last order. I love the 24 pack and you can't beat the price! We eat country fried chicken/steak a couple of times a month. We had been looking for another white gravy since being a southern girl living up north that is the only way to eat it. Unfortunatley it is harder than heck to find white gravy in the stores here. We gave this product a try after seeing the others reviews and have to say we all were happy with it! That is quite an accomplishment with 3 picky kids. We usually use a couple of packs each time when our whole family of 5 is eating. I joke with my kids when they "drown" their food in this stuff that they might as well take the whole bowl and eat it with a spoon! ;) Anyway we love this stuff and hope that amazon keeps selling it! |
16,209 | Azteca Fire isn't as spicy as it claims, and that's not a bad thing. It's complex, chocolatey and delicious and we have to ration ourselves lest we spend all our spare money on it. :-) |
16,210 | Perfect for our needs. While we did use the peppermint leaves for cooking, we also used it in outside doorways to keep away unwanted pests (mice) who dislike the smell. |
16,211 | This is the tastiest, easiest meal to prepare. When I'm running short on time, this is what I reach for. I, too, grew up with this product(40 years ago!) and now my son is doing the same! This is a wonderful product and I hope to see it in the grocery store for many more years!! |
16,212 | I was so looking forward to trying Rice Krispies.... I can buy a better product from a local store that tastes the way I want when I make the marshmallow treats. |
16,213 | it was really rather awesome popcorn. it really had a banana flavor which was really sweet. my only problem was that they really don't sell the amounts that make it worth ordering for this provider. the variety that is offered is really mind blowing. if the flavor you choose is sweet, my experience is crazy sweet. |
16,214 | Earl Grey is an unusual type of tea because it is flavored with the herb Bergamot which has a distinctive flavor. If you haven't tasted it before, I'd recommend you order a cup or try a smaller sized package because you might not like it. It can, however, grow on you. I like it very much; it's one of my very favorite teas. It's quite popular in England both at breakfast and at tea time. It is almost always available if you are out having high or afternoon tea. It's made with black tea, so it, of course, has caffeine--though now it is available in decaf as well through Amazon etc. This box has a large quantity of tea bags of high quality tea. There are other brands, but Twinings is a good one (though not my very favorite, it's right up there). Using bags is, of course, more convenient, but frankly, I prefer loose tea with which you can vary the strength as you wish. I have friends who make it by the pot. Those wanting weaker tea just pour it off earlier. I like it stronger. On the other hand, you can put a bag in a mug, stick in the microwave, and have tea in a few minutes. Enjoy! Hope you like the Bergamot! |
16,215 | I had fed my dogs Canidae for about 2 months before I had problems but as soon as they switched their formula I went from happy to completely unsatisfied. Both of my dogs broke out in hot spots and they itched all the time. Like other reviews say they had chronic digestive upset and wouldn't touch the food. As soon as we switched foods all went back to normal. I also emailed the company. They emailed me back saying there was no way it was their food because their food is of the highest quality out there. It had to be my dogs. Make sure you buy a food that does feeding trials. I know some may think this is cruel, but do you really want food trials done on your pets? That's what Canidae is doing. |
16,216 | The Sodamix arrived very quickly. For the price, it is a good buy. The product was packaged well and was as described by the seller. I would recommend this product. |
16,217 | It's a total cliche and sounds incredibly elitist, but Starbucks' Natural Fusions Vanilla Flavored Ground Coffee tastes like the grown-up version of nasty flavored coffees from places like Dunkin Donuts and cheap grocery store brands. Maybe it's because I grew up in Seattle and was therefore raised on Starbucks coffee, but I do prefer the more complex flavor of their brews in general and don't find it overly strong or "burnt" as many New England natives - raised with the swell on spout at "Dunks" - do.
Not to be too hard on Dunkin; their coffee is certainly "budget friendly"! Actually; the 11oz bags of Starbucks aren't very expensive. In fact, you can get it for the same price, which seems a bit odd to me unless the company plans to raise the price to more traditional "Starbucks prices" after getting people hooked- which seems like a bad idea.
As for the coffee, it comes ground, which is great for most people; not if you do cold brew. The flavor - at least for the vanilla option - was light but it was there; I found myself using one less packet of sweetener than I normally do. The scent is also not overbearing, but pleasant.
Overall, I'd buy it. It's good, it tastes better than the competition, and it's available for (essentially) the same price. |
16,218 | I have a Keurig coffee maker and have tried lots of K-cups and different brands and roasts of coffee but the Natucket Blend is my FAVORITE. The Nantucket blend is a smooth and rich coffee that is not too strong or too weak. Anyone who owns a Keurig should try the Natucket Blend by Green Mountain. They will realize it is the best! The price is great on Amazon too! |
16,219 | Great product and my mother loved it. I would definitely reorder from here again. I enjoy the popcorn very much..thanks!!! |
16,220 | I'm a big fan of Green Mountain coffee, and the blueberry flavor has been one of my favorites for a while. These K-cups have the same great taste that I know and love from the fresh ground version.
The blueberry flavor is in no way dominating. It gives on a great sweet aroma and has an excellent coffee flavor with a hint of blueberry aftertaste. If you're unsure about the flavor, I would suggest trying it at a coffee shop or cafe before buying the entire K-cup pack, but if you're up for trying something different (or you know you love the flavor), this is a great buy. |
16,221 | I'm sorry to say that I just did not enjoy these mozzarella cheese Cheez-It's. I like actual mozzarella cheese but the flavor powder on these crackers was just way too much for me. I could only eat two. The aftertaste was worse. I had to pop a peppermint to get the taste out of my mouth. A couple other people tried the crackers and weren't too impressed either.
I like regular cheddar Cheez-It's, so I think I'll stick to those. |
16,222 | I did not enjoy this tea & I love tea. This was the first time I had tried a loose leaf tea & I did not like the experience at all. It was messy & didn't enjoy the taste, like my other teas. A big disappointment, especially when I see I can't even return it. It was a waste of money for me. |
16,223 | Having a neatly prepackaged lunch that doesn't need refrigeration is a good idea, but GoPicnic needs a lot more work on the items they are including in their "picnic in a box" before it's something I'll want to keep in the cupboard.
The packaging is cute - small and eaily portable - something you could throw in a bookbag or purse. Some of the items included were fairly tasty like the dry roasted edamame and the dried fruit and nut combo. I enjoyed both. The salmon spread, however, was completely disgusting. It looked and smelled worse than any cat food I've ever seen. Since I've never eaten cat food, I can't say which is better of the two. I cannot imagine, however, that cat food could taste much worse than this stuff did. Also included were a small square of dark chocolate and some crackers which, while not impressive, were not unpleasant. Overall, the box added up to more of a variety of snack items than a meal and at around $5 each, it's pricey for the amount of food you actually get. I wouldn't purchase this item again and, after the trauma that the salmon spread caused, I would be leary of trying other varieties of GoPicnic. |
16,224 | I looked for this type of rice as recommended in the book, "the Italian Country Table" for risotto and it did not disappoint. I think it was a good value for 6 lbs of organic risotto rice, better than I could find at our health food store for arborio. |
16,225 | Woooo Hoooo! Worth the wait, worth the money! We can feel safe eating a Gluten Free fig cookie with the SAME GREAT TASTE.
We were horrified that after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and family members suffering Gluten Intolerance,that we would not be able to find compatible cookies like the Fig Newton!
Fig Newton Lovers, there is HOPE! Jovial gets the job done! We are very happy with this cookie! |
16,226 | Henry Weinhard's Root Beer is quite easily my favorite, I must admit. There is a creaminess to it, a body, that makes it a real pleasure to drink. However, there is a trade-off.
If you're looking for a root beer with a biting, unapologetically brash character, you best look elsewhere. This rootbeer has subtle notes of vanilla mingled with it's sassafras, hinting at it's sweeter cousin, the Weinhard's cream soda. In my opinion it's mildness makes it extremely drinkable. For this reason I personally prefer to use other root beers that are thinner and less complex for root beer floats and enjoy this by itself.
Before TSA rules prevented me from packing liquids in my carry-on baggage I would always bring a six-pack back with me from West coast sojourns. It was always worth it. |
16,227 | My sister had these over the holidays and I had to have them. I snagged them for a refreshing brew in the morning. It's not sweet at all, but the aroma of french toast is in the air and it tastes like it too. Very highly suggested. Might even drink these black b/c they don't need to be cut with cream. |
16,228 | I have purchased the Oskri dark chocolate with coconut bars and absolutely loved them! This time the dark chocolate was not available so I tried the milk chocolate. I figured they wouldn't be as good as dark chocolate since i prefer dark but thought they would still be tasty. The package I received was dented and the chocolate bars were melted. It makes it hard to open since each bar is bent and chocolate is stuck to packaging. The bars themselves taste a little stale. Needless to say this purchase was a big disappointment as I love coconut and chocolate. |
16,229 | These chips are a great treat when you're trying to stay away from conventional fried snacks. The product arrived in perfect condition and freshness despite the challenges of shipping such a delicate product. |
16,230 | These graham crackers are a great alternative to the highly processed grahams that we have had since we were kids. Though my husband was skeptical, we have been trying to gradually improve our choices at the grocery store, and this was yet another experiment. He actually loved them and ate nearly the whole box himself (over time of course!).
The rest of the family liked them as well, though they did note a difference, and we actually prefer them. They are slightly "dryer" than the average honey graham, but taste just like them, only a bit more natural and ever so slightly less sweet. The oats are in the cracker yet they are not grainy or rough like some health food alternatives can be. However, they are not a health food by any means, they are still a snack food.
These are tasty, as are many of the other Back to Nature products (we also LOVE their cookies) so I would certainly recommend them. Enjoy! |
16,231 | I love the taste of Coke Zero. Not as much as regular Coke of course - but when I don't want to consume all the calories in a can of regular Coke, Coke Zero is a GREAT runner up. Way better than Diet coke in my opinion because it tastes more like the real thing.
If you are used to diet coke, then switching to this you may not like it, just as you may not like the taste of regular Coke. But if you are like me and prefer the taste of non-diet coke but want no calories - this is the way to go.
I wish they would come out with a caffeine free version though. Maybe that is asking too much! |
16,232 | I love the taste of it. It gives the coffee a bit of spank! The seller is great too!
I hope the manufacturer wont discontinue making it, as they did with the caramel flavor which was my favorite one! |
16,233 | I love this glaze! Great on any fruit, even ice cream; delicious finish to chicken or fish. A small amount packs a lot of flavor!De Nigris Balsamic Glaze Balsamic Reduction 7.6 Fl. Oz. |
16,234 | This is a little spicier than I expected, but we found it to be a good product. Good accompaniment to egg foo yung, or other non-spicy dish. |
16,235 | I purchased this item for a christmas
gift for my husband he loves cheesecake
and he loved it. I have to say this is
one of the best cheesecakes I have ever
had. I would recommend this product to
anyone, it is so fresh and absolutely
delicious, enjoy. |
16,236 | shipping was very fast and the cost is really cheap....2.21 per bottle what a deal. I can really say my children enjoy drinking the juice expecially at time like this when it is extremely hot. Amazon is really smart in selling this item in bulk. |
16,237 | The flavor of the coconut cashew is wonderful. They are a wonderful snack my husband. He likes to keep with him because he has celiac disease and never wants to be without a gluten free snack. Bakery on Main has outdone themselves on this product. Love it!! |
16,238 | Taste like it is stale. Will not order this again. I had this coffee at a 50th year annerversery at a reception hall and had to have it. This stuff tasted NOTHING, like the Douwe Egberts at the hall. This is possibly stale coffee. |
16,239 | I didn't want to buy a pack of 12, but I needed to find a healthy alternative to those super salty saltine crackers for my daughter. Wow these taste fantastic. Not as salty. They almost taste fresh! I think we'll finish 12 packs easily and we can order more. This is awesome! |
16,240 | I first came upon this candy at a gas station in Texas. I was looking to satisfy my sweet tooth while on a road trip you see I'm from the mid-west and I had never seen this Trolli Strawberry Puffs before. So when I came back home I went to the store and looked for them and to my surprise I couldn't find them anywhere!! So while shopping on Amazon I decided to look for them and I found them! They tasted just as delicious as I remember them... although I have to say the bag isn't quite as full as I would like it to be, but other than that two thumbs up! |
16,241 | I've drunk a lot of tea in my time - every day for years and years - so I guess that qualifies me as something of a lay expert, loosely defined :o) I was excited about this tea because it's organic and offered at a decent price (because good tea can be pricey indeed). Well... the first cup brews up kinda foul and with lots of tannin, really bitter (and not the good kind of bitter either). Thus it's an absolute necessity for me to do a first steeping, strain it out and steep again to get a passably drinkable cup. This is not uncommon for some teas, but the cup you get is still pretty foul, truth be told: still real tannic and just not a happy quaff. The leaves are relatively crude and large. This is not one of those tippy-leaved harvests where they grab just the tiny bud; this tea was picked for volume production. For an Oolong it seems to have been barely fermented. I find it just a crude tea. Crude and rude. Figured for the price it'd be a good everyday drinking teas and didn't expect a religious experience in every cup or anything, but it just doesn't even rise to that basic standard. I would have given it only 2 stars, but for the price and the fact that it's organically grown. Your mileage may vary I guess, but that's this tea-head's humble opinion for what it's worth. |
16,242 | I was so excited to buy these fruit bars because they are just so good. I ordered this KIND PLUS Almond Cashew PACK OF 12 and guess what? When I openned the package this morning I was so confused if there was anything wrong... Instead of 12 fruit bars, there were only 8!!!! I shop at Amazon all the time and never complain or anything but this is so RIDICULOUS! I couldn't believe my eyes I just thought that I was wrong. But I keep counting over and over and there were just 8! Now I don't want to say anything but so mad! |
16,243 | I would like have more of a kick, but it's a lot better than most Keurig and superior to our local Dunkin Donuts fresh brew. Dunkin's K-cup is not in the same ballpark. |
16,244 | Zuke's Mini Naturals Dog Treats Roasted Chicken Recipe, 16-Ounce, this product was turned down by my pet. Gave it to another who had three dogs and only one of the dogs would eat it and the other two would not even take it out of the hand of owner. I tried this product because it was a american product, would not recommend. |
16,245 | We do not to go to grocery stores to purchase chips for lunch. The chips are always on time. My family loves the fresh and nutritious snacks. |
16,246 | Each can I've opened has a blend of mashed and chunky beans which makes for a good base for add-ins like salsa and cheese for homemade Nacho Dip, my homemade comfort food. Sometimes canned refried beans are a oily/greasy mess. This is almost as good as granny's home-cooking without the muss or fuss.
When I can catch these on a good sale I'd buy these again. |
16,247 | Why is it so hard to find Zagnuts anymore? I had to buy the 24 count box and they were soooo fresh. Not like candy that's been sitting in a backroom storage for too long. Being so fresh they tasted better than ever. Well, since I could not have so many bars around me I gave most of them to my primary grade students. They had never heard of Zagnut, but the next day a couple of the children told me they thought the candy bars were really good and asked where they could get some...If you like Zagnuts this was a great Seller. |
16,248 | This is really really good perfect combination. Its my first try of this company's products and I'm very impressed ...I have a strict diet and read so many labels . I'm a picky eater on top of my gluten vegan non dairy diet. It has to taste good or I won't eat it .. this passed with flying colors Yuuummm!!!! |
16,249 | I'm not a big flax seed fan. I know that you should eat some, but they're frankly bland. Kind's Healthy Grains aren't too bad. The grain is crunchy and the cinnamon gives it some flavor. To be honest, I would have liked a bit more since the flavor tends to wash away with milk. I normally eat it as a breakfast cereal and was also disappointed that there aren't as may 'clusters' as I would have expected. It seems like most of the clusters in my bag fell apart and I was left with loose oats and flax seed. I tended to eat this as a breakfast cereal and got about four average bowls out of one bag.
Overall, I suppose its healthier for me and wasn't too bad to munch on in the morning. I did put a bit of the mix into a bowl of oatmeal once and thought it was pretty tasty. If I have to eat flax seeds, this is as good a way as any. |
16,250 | I've been looking for fig cookies since I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease almost 7 years ago. I missed fig newtons so much! These cookies are probably far better than fig newtons. They are so delicious. They come in snack sized wrappings inside of the box, for easy portability. These are worth every penny! |
16,251 | My 9 month old 45 lb pit bull is an avid chewer who has and will eat just about anything he can find, including my hard wood floors.. while picking up bird food I grabbed one of these relieved that at least when he devoured it he wasn't eating chunks of plastic and hence wouldn't get mad when I had to take it away and throw it in the trash. I came home, read a magazine, he sat quietly on the sofa beside me happily chewing and by the time I had finished my magazine he had finished his bone. While certainly not a long lasting chew it is something I'd pick up again when I get bird food since I know he enjoys it. I used to buy the stuffed regular bones but then I'd end up with him wanting to play fetch with the empty bone and would end up throwing it away so at least I know this isn't something that months later i'm stepping on getting out of bed. |
16,252 | The only reason I didn't give this a 5-star rating is because one of the bottles was busted when I received it. Thankfully they were wrapped in a bubble wrap bag, but it wasn't enough to prevent the safety seal under the lid from popping loose. Judging by the condition of the box, evidently something heavy was placed on top of my package, and the pressure caused the safety seal to separate from the rim by about 1/4" inch) so I lost about 1oz. of product.
Aside from that, I love the agave, and it's a far better deal than what I can get at a grocery store. |
16,253 | I love this product. My dog drops bombs in the house on a regular basis. Perhaps he does it just to let me know that he needs more attention or maybe he does it to piss me off. Poop Freeze has saved the day! It makes picking up poop easy and fun. Did I say fun - YUP. My kids love picking up after the dog outside in the yard with Poop Freeze. |
16,254 | I like this alot... The only problem is that these are way too big for me. I should of got the regular size ones. These things are about 1 inch and a half at least and thick... But they are still good. |
16,255 | I don't know what to say that others have not covered. If you like potato chips you will like these. Get em on sale when you can and limit your intake...if you can... |
16,256 | Being British in America and finding a good "cuppa" is almost impossible. but I think with the stash breakfast tea I can happily live here forever. |
16,257 | This works. I will order it again. But I will anchor it better so it doesn't blow away. I lost it in a wind storm. It smells pretty bad, but it also works in the house. I brought it indoors and set it in the bathtub when the flies were particularly obnoxious inside. Opened the (screened) window in the bathroom, and they flocked to it in there. I set it back outside after a while, when I could begin to smell it. I wouldn't keep it in the house with windows closed, however. Phew!!! |
16,258 | I agree with the person who said it's hard to chew and here is why.
Disect your slim jim length ways...there, do you see the hair?
It is (allegedly) all made of cow hair...gross! That is the beef part I guess.
Trans-fat (partially hydrogenated veg oil) and some really long word chemicals to make "mechanically separated" beef and chicken what looks like hair taste "good"? no thanks, glad I did not buy 100!
My dog really likes it but then again she eats other dog's p..p
EEWWW!!! |
16,259 | The product seems to be alright (I have not yet used it. Have it stored in the fridge until I'm ready). However, I notice that there is no shelf life date on the package and there is no advice as to how I should store the item BEFORE I use it. It does recommend refrigeration AFTER I open the package. I would appreciate having had this information prior to purchase. |
16,260 | When I lived about 45 minutes southeast of St. Helena, I would be sure to drive there to Woodhouse Chocolates, at least once per month, and indulge in the best, hand-made chocolates, made on site, that I have ever had.
The Chocolatier is gifted with such a palette that ever friend in the US that would come to visit me would appreciate her chocolates more than any other.
I eventually learned to pay the $6 in next-day shipping to the east bay area and not drive there :)
Do know that preservatives are not used; the chocolates are perishable after 2 weeks.
You will NOT be disappointed!
FYI, buy more than you think you should....here is why...standing within the shop, while ordering, I would usually "down" about 10-12 chocolates, eat more in the car later in the day, and try my best to hang on to a few chocolates for a day or two out. IMPOSSIBLE!
Now, I live in Nashville, and one can only be shipped these gems during cooler temperatures. These are priceless.
Enjoy! |
16,261 | I love the coffee and I love the transaction. Fast and easy.
Thanks very much!! |
16,262 | I just recently got my Keurig, and I've been trying the sample pack of coffee that came with it. So far this is by far my favorite. I nice mild coffee taste to enjoy in the morning or anytime. I actually wish they made this coffee in a decaf version also so I could enjoy the great flavor of this one anytime! I think this will be the main coffee in this house; I've tried some of the others and liked some of them more than others, but this is the runaway favorite. I tend to put a good bit of cream and sugar in my coffee (can't stand it black!) but the nice flavor of this one comes through the cream and sugar. (I've found that cream and sugar can't cover up the taste of coffee I don't like!) I don't care for the bolder coffees at all (I don't feel like getting slapped in the face by my coffee in the morning!)
I'd encourage everyone to give this a try if you like a light roast coffee with a mild, pleasant taste in the morning -- you won't be disappointed!!! |
16,263 | The product seemed great from the human viewpoint: high protein, no grain, quality ingredients and relatively reasonably priced on Amazon. However, my cats would not touch the food. I have one, older female, slightly fussy part Maine coon and a second, very large young male, an outdoor stray who has adopted us. Neither of them would eat it, both preferred the dry food (Wellness Salmon). I usually give them both wet and dry food. The wet food, a different brand, is always eaten first but this time, both bowls of Wellness Canned cat food were left pretty much untouched after the first taste and remained so until I tossed the food the next day! I know cats are very particular ...they often dislike something for no reason I can understand and it doesn't necessarily imply a faulty product ... but if a young, hungry stray decides against it, in this case, I reckon something is off with the product. |
16,264 | This item came well packaged, and arrived in a timely manner after I ordered it, so I do appreciate that fact.
However, it was way too salty for me. It was also quite overpoweringly 'fishy' - duh! - but I had thought that perhaps the spices and smoking would provide a less fishy taste, while adding some additional good taste to the salmon. I did not taste the spices or smoking at all, just fish and salt.
Not to my taste, I'm afraid. |
16,265 | Vanilla Blueberry Clusters with Flax Seeds is a tasty new granola from KIND Healthy Grains. It is loaded with healthy ingredients and also tastes pretty good. The blueberry and vanilla are noticeable but not overpowering. It only has 5 grams of sugar but I still kept reaching into the bag for another handful.
The consistency borders between crunchy and crispy and can be chewed by young and old alike. Best thing is the 20% fiber content per 1/3 cup serving. This granola will not disappoint those who like to try different types. |
16,266 | My baby couldn't get enough of this stuff. He ate almost the whole container in one sitting and is only 5 months old! |
16,267 | The Clear Men Scalp Therapy Anti-Dandruff Shampoon Clean & Refresh works as advertised. The fragrance is pleasant but not overly deafening like many of the new shampoos that have come out in recent years. I've used Head & Shoulders for years and this one works just as well, perhaps a little better, no flakes so far.
What I really like about it is that with a small amount one can generate a great deal of lather, which makes washing one's hair far easier, and this also makes the bottle last much longer than the competition.
As far as the refreshing feeling it's supposed to generate, it is indeed invigorating, unlike other anti-dandruff brands that claim the same but actually produce a burning sensation instead. This one is clearly designed for those of us who have more chemically sensitive scalps.
Design wise the bottle's quite utilitarian, easy to open, store and it doesn't wobble over easily, which isn't a major concern but nonetheless it's an added bonus.
I'm usually reticent when it comes to trying new products in this genre, but I've definitely found a worthy alternate to my usual shampoo. Highly recommended. |
16,268 | This is a seitan (wheat protien) product with a strong anise (licorice) flavor that dominates the thai peanut taste. If you like black licorice, you may like this. Count me out. |
16,269 | I was introduced to this tea at a business convention at a Marriott about 3 years ago. Loved it, but couldn't find it our local grocery store or Wal-mart. Found it on Amazon at a good price and have been ordering it every since. I drink it every morning w/a little sweetner and/or flavored coffee creamer. Tastes just like what you get at the pricey coffee shops. |
16,270 | I'm not a coffee snob. If I was, I doubt I'd own a Keurig. I just want a decent tasting cup of coffee with little cleanup.
I've tried many of the flavored coffees, but they're too gimmicky for me. Starbucks brand tastes burnt to me, even their blonde roast -- in stores I mean, I have not tried the Starbucks brand kcups.
I like this breakfast blend because it's not too dark, not too light. It tastes like what no-frills coffee should taste like. I order the biggest size to get the best value.
Update: I just tried to create a review for the "Jamaica Me Crazy" coconut flavor, which I thought was terrible. (And I *love* coconut.) I should specify that the original review was for "Breakfast in Bed." |
16,271 | Eat at your own risk. Once I would open a bag I could not stop. Good and salty. |
16,272 | This is a great product. I used it to puree all of my baby's food from 6-12 months. At which time she started finger food. |
16,273 | I generally purchase Jeremiah's Fogbuster for a strong and rich French Roast coffee however I wanted to check out this brand and see whether it was any good (the price was right). I'm pretty disappointed. While the coffee is strong, it lacks depth and richness. Unlike Jeremiah's, I found it lacking in flavor. I would not buy this coffee again. |
16,274 | I like the flavor of the Peach Mango Kool-Aid. The flavor is not too artificial and I can definitely tell that the flavors are peach and mango, however mango is much stronger. I found the drink to be too sweet if mixed per instructions. I used 4 teaspoons per 24 oz of water (slightly less than 1/2 of the recommended amount) and I thought that it was sweet enough. However, I used cool water. I am sure that if I used ice-cold water, the drink would taste less sweet.
I think the packaging is not well thought through. I think the opening is too narrow, and not very convenient for reaching in with a spoon. Also, the outer colorful layer is a shrink wrap. When the jar is first opened and the lid is removed, the portion of the wrapper that goes around the lid falls off. That portion contains both the name of the flavor and the instructions in English. I think the container could have been designed better.
In my opinion, once you figure out water-to-mix proportions, this is a good product that both adults and kids will enjoy. |
16,275 | This product is a great idea -- finally, someone made instant hot chocolate that contains recognizable food ingredients. Sadly, the flavor is very mild, and tastes more sweet than chocolately. Less sugar, more choc. would have been better. I have to put in a little instant coffee to bring out the chocolate taste. |
16,276 | First, the package did not come with the items as described, they used substitutes. I chose this basket because of the items that were supposed to be included - there were no chocolate covered cherries, no pistachios. Next, don't send the package directly to the gift recipient - the treats were still in their bags, so you'll have to arrange them yourself - which is contrary to what is stated that they are "hand arranged". |
16,277 | Received this order promptly, but am very disappointed in it. Over half of the k cups have exploded in our Keurig. When this happens it makes a huge mess. The machine has to be totally cleaned each time. It appears that the seal at the top of the kcups is not properly attached. The ones that do survive make excellent tasting coffee, but I will not reorder them online again. Very disappointed, makes some of the best tasting coffee we have tried, but only got to drink a little of it. |
16,278 | My son is 7 months old and this has always been his favorite baby food - it is nice a thick, which he loves! |
16,279 | These are the best of the many petite beurre biscuits that are on the market from various vendors. Maybe it's the french butter, maybe it is the flour, but regardless, these are the best. Highly recommended. NO CORN SYRUP!! |
16,280 | So good! I highly recommend it! The caramel apple cider was my favorite but all of them were excellent. I now buy several boxes at at time for my church on Sunday morning. |
16,281 | I have 2 very food motivated pugs (never met one that wasn't...). The outgoing one LOVES banging this toy around the house for hours. The shy one won't go near it. the first day with this, I filled it up almost full with kibble so it dispensed more easily, but she still got frustrated trying to figure out how to use it. After a couple of days, she can empty 1/2 cup of kibble from the small one in an hour :) and will continue to play with it as long as it has food in it.... the larger the treat size, the harder it is to come out. A couple kibble falls out every minute or so; a treat the size of a Zuke's Mini Bakes will come out every 5 to 10 minutes. I put 1/2 cup kibble and 10 mini bakes inside to keep her occupied for an hour. Note: the more full the jug is, the faster the dispensing rate (good for unmotivated dogs). The smaller the jug, the more full it is when a given amount of food is placed in it, thus if my pug had a hard time with the small size, I would buy the x-small so she could get the food out more easily. After a week of using it, I realize the small size is just fine.
Pros:
dog loves it
durable
keeps them occupied for unlimited time
i like the "difficulty" level of this toy: it is not too easy that it's emptied in 15 minutes like a treat ball, but not so hard that she won't play with it
cons:
rope is difficult to clean and attracts moisture
the noise as she bangs it around the house is insane |
16,282 | This is a good snack to carry in a purse for when I need a quick snack. It is high protein and low sugar which is good for my diabetes requirements. Also it is easy to eat because of its small size. I like the zip lock bag so that I can eat two or three and close up the bag. I am always looking for quick and easy snacks for my diet requirements. This hits the target and also hits the taste spot, too! |
16,283 | Much bigger box and bang for the buck. I will purchase again. This is a great treat that the pups enjoy. |
16,284 | We definitely have picky dogs and it's hard to find something that has longevity or that they like. We're still training our puppies, so these are a great low calorie snack that they seem to really like the flavor of.
The only downside for me is the size of each one, they're about dime size. If you have a lab mix with a big mouth you better have a good size handful or she is going to have a handful of your hand in her mouth.
Packaging was great, ordered on Prime. They arrived next day which was a relief. It's hard to find anything worth the money with a good value to it. For the price and the amount of snacks you get this is quite the bargain.
Definitely a staple for the snack jar! |
16,285 | Love the fact that these are totally digestible, unlike the raw hide chews. Perfect chew treat for my two small dogs and they are cheaper here than at my vets! |
16,286 | This is a good coffee, but it is a little towards the light side. It was advertised as a medium blend, but unless you pick a smaller size to brew you are going to get a light coffee. |
16,287 | A little too expensive for me as I have 4 cats. But I have read the ingredients, and being familiar with most of the higher end brands this one is right up there with them. It is good for cats that have sensitive tummies. |
16,288 | I've tried several others but, because of its good reviews, I ordered Newman's (and also because I like all other Newman's). It's as bold as advertised. |
16,289 | I got this today, and it couldn't have come at a better time. Every once in awhile I get a craving for chocolate, and today was that day. I tore open the bag, and grabbed a handful.
The granola itself is slightly sweet, with just a hint of saltiness. Exactly how I like my granola, but the chocolate was the real surprise! It was rich and melted in my mouth. Not really the sweetness of milk chocolate, but not the bitterness of dark chocolate either, but a very nice in between.
You get six 12 ounce packages for $21.57 or about $3.60 a bag. That seems to be about the price for natural, organic cereals, so this is an average deal. That said, I would certainly buy this for my family as a snack. For me, it's too crunchy and the clusters are just a tad too big for a morning cereal. |
16,290 | The "San Mateo" blend of Guayaki's loose leaf yerba mate is lighter -- less harsh -- than their more readily available "Traditional" blend. I can drink either blend but much prefer San Mateo because it clearly dried without smoke (they do not say whether the traditional blend is or not) and has a more "refreshing" flavor to my palate. Long time drinkers of more traditional blends available in South America (Argentina, Uraguay, etc.) may not like it and may even find it bland or undrinkable, but from my limited experience with other types of yerba mate and my more "American" (United States) taste combined with the fact that I do not smoke (I have tried, but never liked it) I can barely stomach the more aged "smoked" or "roasted" types of mate. If you feel the same way there is a good chance you'll like the San Mateo blend. |
16,291 | This product does not claim to be any kind of energy drink, despite the slim can and flashy design. Instead, it says that it is carbonated fruit juice, and that is exactly what you are going to get! It is labeled as containing 100% fruit juice by volume, which coincides with the ingredient list. It is refreshing, new, and something I would consider drinking again. I leave off the final fifth star, as it was not the most flavorful beverage of the group, but I believe that owes to the fact that there are multiple flavors competing for a spot on your palatte. Sometimes, one does lose the parts in the whole that way. Still, I liked it and will definitely drink it again! |
16,292 | I have three dogs. A grouchy old schnauzer, and two English Springer Spaniels, one of whom is 10 month old puppy. Our puppy is, lets say...going through a very distructive stage. Our vet suggested toys that keep her attention for long periods of time. We already had several kongs, balls, bones, etc. LOTS of toys. So, I saw this one and thought we would give it a try. IT ROCKS!!!!! It keeps her attention for HOURS!!!!!!! TOTALLY worth the money. In fact, I am going to order two more, so each of the dogs have one. I completely recommend this toy. |
16,293 | These are perhaps the worst chips that have ever gone into my mouth.
For my entire life Sour Cream & Onion (and in this case "& Chive") chips were my favorite. Recently Kettle brand Honey Dijon Mustard took that slot. So when I found out they had sour cream & onion I just had to try them.
As soon as I opened the bag the chips smelled of powdered milk. And indeed each chip is coated with a powdered sour cream that is just awful. It tastes like rancid milk. Not just sour, but like sour cream that when rancid. The powdery texture is also extremely unappealing. I basically hated these chips. I would not recommend these chips to anyone unless they had a particular affinity for a powdery, chalky texture on a chip, with a rancid (and onion flavor) and I have a hard time believing that person exists.
I plan on contacting Kettle and sharing my thoughts with them. Hopefully they'll reassess the seasoning on these otherwise wonderful kettle style chips. |
16,294 | I ordered these for my daughter thinking they were Tongue Splashers and they were not! I don't mind that they changed the name but this is not like the original! I tried one after my daughter couldn't even bite into them, they were so hard. She finally took a hammer and broke one and said they tasted the same but they were hard to chew. I called and they were ok about sending them back but insisted they were the same product which I know they're not. Don't advertise if it's not the same. Maybe I got an old batch but they assured me they were fresh. Don't buy if you don't want jaw problems! |
16,295 | Okay, I'll be blunt: Diarrhea. We bought 2 Siberian pure bred litter mates & brought them home to comfort me when our very old Maine Coons died. One of them can eat anything and is not particularly picky. The other cannot ingest gluten of any kind and there is SO MUCH STUFF in a single can of cat food. I worked with these boys for months and couldn't solve poor Merlin's problem. I was at my wit's end, even yelled at my husband to take them back to the breeder because I so exhausted by this horrendous problem. One afternoon on a trip to Petco, a young man who was working in the store came up and started talking with me. Turns out, he used to manage the big cats diets at our local zoo until the budget cuts took his job, so he knew quite a lot about Dick Van Patten's line. He also happened to have a house cat with the same problem as Merlin.
He advised me to buy the DVP Ultra Formula (NOT ultra PREMIUM formula) and feed only this food! I did, and our problem was solved! Poor Merlin cannot have table scraps or vitamin treats or any other canned food because his problem returns right away (and its compounded many times over by his long haired triple fur coat and his massive size). He does get DVP Limited Ingredient Diet dry food in rotation with his canned breakfast, but that is it for him. He and I are extremely happy together. He's a Romeo, for sure. I often think of that kind young man and the note about "angels unawares" and I give thanks for that most helpful moment.
If your cat has tummy trouble, you need this food and a SpotBot. Thank you, Amazon, for bringing this product to my door! BISSELL Spotbot Pet Handsfree Spot and Stain Cleaner with Deep Reach Technology, 33N8A |
16,296 | This is obviously a red-hot item & will definitely decorate the page appropriately for February 14th. If your recipient doesn't like their OUTSTANDING FLAVOR, there is always the option of passing them along, as in the HOT POTATO GAME. Reviewer mcHAIKU recommends a trial run of such a hot item, but says they do wonders for one's breath! |
16,297 | In the summer, it is easy to get off track with treats, sweets and other junk food for the kids. From vacations to trips to the pool, I am amazed at how much sugar and junk is around. I've loved these Munchie Apple Rice Cakes. It is a crunchy and slightly sweet snacks that my kids (and myself) love. I keep a bag of these in my car. It is a great go to snack for my 2 year old and 4 year old. I like that is it lower in sugar than a lot of the packaged snack food. It is a healthy choice and my kids love it. As we get ready to start school, I am looking forward to knowing the my daughter will have more options for her snack at school and for her school lunches. |
16,298 | Overall the taste is good, but some pieces are tender, while others are hard to chew and can't be swallowed (50/50). |
16,299 | I love green tea, some, that is. Not all green teas have the clarity and subtle flavor of Twinings. My first action each morning is to have a large mug of green tea with dried cranberries in the bottom of the mug and often I repeat this in the evening. Obviously, I don't want to run out. |
