The companion Pop-Tart to yesterday's review, today we have Chocolate Mocha!
Kind of a redundant name, don't you think? With "mocha" the chocolate is usually implied. I mean, a cafe mocha is milk, espresso (some times places use plain ol' coffee) and a hint of chocolate. It's like calling chocolate milk, "chocolaty chocolate milk." Perhaps the chocolate here refers to the chocolate pastry shell? Oh well, enough semantics, let's eat!
I know these are old news, and no one cares anymore, but I'm cleaning out my pantry and I've got quite a few backlogged Pop-Tarts to review, so I'm going to do my best to knock them all out this week! First up, Dunkin' Donuts Vanilla Latte!
Easter Sundae m&m's dressed up for Halloween?
I'm experiencing déjà vu. This isn't the first time we've seen a chocolate-vanilla m&m masquerading as something snazzier, and it likely won't be the last. Maybe I am completely off-base with my assumptions, but I'm going into this review with some pretty low expectations.
While scooping up clearance Halloween deals at Target, I picked up something on-season! (It's been a while.)
Brittle is an odd flavor choice, and certainly not something that makes me think of winter. Thanks to the peanut-center it makes sense conceptually, but I'm a bit curious (and skeptical) about the execution. Will the chocolate taste like brittle? I doubt it, but I'm excited to see more peanut m&m's get the limited edition flavor treatment.
Let's find out!
Project 7 offers unique sugar-free sweets in well designed packaging, all while donating proceeds to worthy causes. What's not to like? Sadly, their product. They're just too inconsistent!
There are a handful of their chewing gums that I truly enjoy and would recommend to everyone, but for every product I adore, there are easily twice as many disappointments. Fool me seven times, shame on you, fool me eight-or more times, shame on me.
I talk a big game, but I have used this Futurama meme before, in ANOTHER Project 7 review. Even after being burned time and time again, I keep coming back for more...when they're on sale. Wise man say, forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for roulette chewing gum.
I love vinegar! In my early 20's I had intense stress-related stomach issues that put me out of commission for several months, and the cure? Vinegar! (And less stress. I love vinegar, but let's not be click-bait-y. It's not a cure all!)
It's popular to use vinegar for pickling, sauces, and dressings, but I straight up drink it! I'm sure that sounds weird to most people, but I'm not alone!
Pizza flavored snacks are one of my guilty pleasure junk food indulgences, but satisfying ones are getting harder to find. As an adult, I would buy a pizza lunachable here or there to scratch my itch. When they stopped using Tombstone pizza sauce (the monsters!), I'd go for my favorite bag Doritos which were a combination of pizza and ranch flavored chips. When those disappeared (RIP), I turned to pizza flavored Combos. The Combos are still available, but it is getting harder for me to find the big bags of them. Their slot at my local 7-Eleven has been full of the Cheddar version for a while. Thankfully, a while back, one of my readers suggested I look into these new Snyder's pretzel sandwiches.
It was a rainy day, everyone in the house was feeling under the weather with a slight cold, so I stopped at Walmart to buy some canned soup, and that's when the familiar craving surfaced. I wanted a ketchup-y cafeteria pizza flavored snack and I wanted it NOW. So I went into the chip aisle and finally scored a bag of these. Let's see if these can pass the test!
For every Oreo disappointment, there is a Reese's that raises the bar. Well, kind of. Reese's plays it pretty safe when it comes to their flavors.
They have a combination that people love, and when something isn't broke, you don't fix it. More-so than playing with flavoring switch ups, they have been playing with added textures. First, it was the addition of their Reese's pieces to their peanut butter cups, and now it's cookie bits.
But wait, is this really NEW?
Everything is right with the world. Novelty Minion Tic-Tacs are now banana flavored. We can all go on with the rest of our lives.
Sarcasm aside, it did bother me that Minion Tic-Tacs were banana flavored everywhere else in the world, except for America. It was one of the biggest talking points in my 2015 review. For some reason, we got passion fruit, and they were awful. It seems that Tic-Tac got the message. Behold, banana Tic-Tacs!
