Mike and Ike Sour Spooky Treats

I didn’t know what to expect with these Mike and Ike Sour Spooky Treats but given that I can’t have too much candy I didn’t mind tossing them in the trash when I was done. They don’t have a Halloween theme to them and they lake the sweet core you would get with Sour Patch Kids.

I’ve never been big on Mike and Ike because when I went to the movies my old man would never by them for me, not that I asked, but at my age I never grew fond of them.

If you like sour these are fine but not if you like your sour sweet.

Liquid Death Killer Cola

Murdering your thirst with this Liquid Death Killer Cola won’t be that easy because it doesn’t taste like name brand diet soda. It’s not all that diet at ten calories. It has some cola berry flavor to it but is nothing like Coke or Pepsi. 

I put this on my Amazon wish list and someone got it for me. Fun stuff, but it’s not that great. Better than soda for my diabetes but not as good as the water that it pretends to be.

Jack in the Box Sausage Sourdough Scrambler

The Jack in the Box Sausage Sourdough Scrambler has that sourdough that isn't sour. I never understood sourdough but if you wanted sour it will disappoint. 

Past that, you got a big sloppy sandwich that is filling and says morning. I wouldn't say it's a McMuffin but I would get it again. 

If you're not going to Jack then this isn't a reason, but if you're there this is a find option.

Liquid Death Rootbeer Wrath

I do not believe Liquid Death Rootbeer Wrath can properly be called diet soda or sparkling water as it has more calories than either. I would further say that is about as good as any bad diet soda. This excludes the Zero versions of diet soda which taste better and are more like the real thing. 

Maybe the best part of this product is the fact that it's clear and won't stain your teeth.  

Anyway, I wouldn't get more of this.

Buzzballz Biggies Pumpkin Pre-Mixed Cocktails

I’m no fan of Buzzballz and the idea of a Pre-Mixed Cocktail is something of a lower quality drink but Biggies Pumpkin here was on sale at the end of last spooky season and so I picked one up.

You need to give these a good shake before they’re drinkable but once you do they taste a bit like Irish Cream. I love Irish Cream so these things are good. I mean, I don’t think these are thick enough to do much to my coffee but then I drink my coffee black now days anyway.

To put a bow on it, these are a good deal after the holiday. I wouldn’t get them for the party unless you just want something that looks good. These Halloween themed drinks are sure to bring a smile.

Jarritos Cola

Jarritos Cola taste like cola. I mean, who would have thought? I would say this is about as good as American Coke but Mexican Coke is of better quality. I wouldn’t take this over Mexican Coke, but I would take this over a number of other colas I’ve had.

It’s funny to me to have this soda but then I guess if you’re going to make soda you may as well have a cola and this cola is not bad.

On The Border Cafe Style Halloween Tortilla Chips


 On The Border Cafe Style Halloween Tortilla Chips were sitting about after the holiday last year and as the sales had slim pickings I picked up two bags. They are just about the same as any tortilla chips.

If you want to give you're party some more of a Halloween feel these have a look that fits and a taste that is familiar.  

Solid, I liked them, and they got eaten fast.

M&M's Pumpkin Pie Milk Chocolate


 A few years ago I tried the White Chocolate version of these M&M's Pumpkin Pie Milk Chocolate and I learned that I don't care for white chocolate in general because of how not chocolate it really is. 

These are better with more flavor then the white chocolate ones but still not very Pumpkin Pie like. I would have never guessed that to be the flavor if I hadn't see the bag. 

I would say these are okay for you candy lovers out there but for the rest of us they need to be had in extreme moderation.

Planters Pumpkin Spice Almonds

Planters Pumpkin Spice Almonds are underwhelming. I mean, light on the spice and well roasted I like them but not that much more than normal almonds. 

I eat almonds all the time so I know well why these are like, and I will say they just need way more spice to get them going. 

These aren't bad but not all that pumpkin spicy.  
 

Jarritos Mango

Jarritos Mango is a Mexican mango soda. I would have expected it to be a bit stronger in flavor but it was just fine. I think this would be great with a shot of tequila and one of those little umbrellas.

I have to say this is good soda.
