Good "store bought" cookies
I really like the "crunchy" chocolate chip cookies . . . the soft ones are chemically softened and, I think, gross. These have good flavor and are great for trips (although eating anything crunchy in the car is discouraged . . . wait for a rest stop!) and especially for preschooler snacks.

Great Snack!
I have a bit of a sweet tooth. I've tried to ignore it in times past, but the reality is that I want--NEED--a cookie from time-to-time as a welcome addition to my brown bag lunch. These 1.4 ounce single servings make that easy without overdoing it. If I bring one with me I know I'll only end up eating one package and n...

New!!! Amazon.com sells biscuit crumbs.
I did not know that I was ordering biscuit crumbs. That is exactly what I received. Such a lousy product. It's Amazon's fault for shipping out expires products. Will NEVER order food from Amazon.com ever.

Misleading Packaging!
I meant to pick up the normal Chewy Chips Ahoy and was flabbergasted when I returned home to find that they shoved the word "oatmeal" in the corner of the package but kept everything else the same. I decided to try them anyway and the oats definitely interrupt the normally wonderful chemistry between the chocolate and ...

Chips Ahoy, chewy oatmeal cookies are so moist that it is difficult to separate a single cookie from the package without it breaking into pieces. My tastebuds say they are too sweet, not cooked enough, lack ample chocolate chips and oatmeal flakes. If you like cookie dough, you most likely will enjoy these. I'll sti...

Healthy, tasty, convenient, and not too expensive
Sardines are a useful item to stock for times when you want to add a bit of protein to your meal without breaking the bank. I like that they are lower in mercury than big fish are, and high in omega fats. The skinless ones are much better tasting in my opinion--regular sardines taste a bit too oily, fishy, and strong t...

NOT really low sodium, a lot more salt than 35mg
This is a very tasty product. Tastes more like tuna. However I believe the 35mg of salt listed on the indgredients for a 1/4 cup serving is much lower than the actual salt content. I use very little salt and these are somewhat salty. I also opened a can of Crown Prince natural brisling sardines in water which has a sal...

skinless sardines in water
Skinless sardines in water differ from the ones with skin in oil in that they are somewhat coarse and dense as opposed to the softer texture of sardines in oil. Not much fishy odor and the liquid is flavorful.

These are the best skinless boneless sardines that I've tried and they are very reasonably priced.

I love these soy crisps. They are the perfect salty crunch. I have a hard time finding snack foods that don't have wheat, corn, or some sort of sugar sweetener in them. But these fit the bill. They are *very* salty, tho. I like them that way, but if you're not used to it and can be kindof surprising.

Excellent store bought cookie
I bake, so I'm rarely impressed by store bought cookies. This one, though....divine. So divine. I don't like heavy chocolate, or dark chocolate, but I like a little chocolate. This cookie is the right amount pastry, raspberry and chocolate, and it's light, like a Madeleine.

So very good
My girlfriend and I bought some of this at stater bros for 4 or 5 bucks. Worth every penny. We use this on sandwiches instead of mayo. It is the best stuff. It's not healthy at all, in fact it is really bad for you, so keep that in mind.

Simple plug and play that just worked - period.
I bought the Blue Icicle because I had to quickly record some trumpet lines and I didn't have an interface. Well, actually, I did pick up an open box unit that didn't work because they couldn't provide me with the external power supply, so I took it back and got the Icicle as a quick fix that would get me where I neede...

The Icicle is truly a great piece of hardware. It's as simple as plugging your mic cord into the product and plugging that into your USB. The BEST thing about this product is it allows you to take your mic wherever there is a usb equipped computer. It is light weight so I don't know it's durability and don't plan on th...

Match Your Mic Carefully
I will admit, the Icicle does allow you to plug any mic with an XLR jack to your computer using a USB jack. It does indeed provide phantom power to condenser mics and it will deliver a signal to your recording software.<br /><br />Beyond that, the usefulness depends on your mic and what you consider an acceptable recor...

Cool stuff
I already have the Bluebird from Blue and was using it to record a friend's live performance. With only a laptop computer at my disposal, I was able to connect my XLR to USB directly into Garageband. The Icicle is small, portable, and so easy to use-- plus, I didn't have to carry a huge A to D converter!

I find that even with the gain on maximum, the volume is not very loud. I use it with a Shure SM57 mic and my Macbook (using Audacity). One must be very close to the mike and speak somewhat loudly.

Promising--if it works. Not always a guaranteed solution.
I have little doubt that the Blue Icicle will get the job done with a Shure SM-58, or similar "dynamic" microphone. But its claim that it will convert any "condenser" mic, even one that normally requires XLR connection and phantom power, into a "plug 'n play" USB mic should not be taken at face value. I say this beca...

Decent price for a good product
Works fine for my Podcasting needs. I use it with a sure SM58 microphone. It is made of plastic and does feel cheap but I have had it for a few months and had zero problems with it. For desktop use it should be fine. Works great for my needs. Wouldn't recommend for heavy use on a stage or being tossed around.
