Hyde and Eek Frankenstein Cookie

I found this Hyde and Eek Frankenstein Cookie after the holiday last year so it was sitting around being old. I guess you can't say it was bad because it wasn't stale at all even being more than a year old. 

It was never that good to start with so I still wouldn't get more of them, but they have a long shelf-life.
 

The Good Crisps Creepy Crisps

 The Good Crisp Creepy Crisps are discount original flavor with black food coloring. Is that bad? No. If you like these crisps then this is just fine. They don't pick up dip all that well. Things keep braking. Then you need to use another chip to get the broken chip out of the dip.

Keep in mind that if you're at a party you've had a few drinks and will now be playing rescue the broken chip with a buzz.

This will look cool at your Halloween party, but as far as being good they don't stand up to the fun. Get normal chips to go with these.

Stuffed Puffs Filled Marshmallows Monster Marsh

Stuffed Puffs Filled Marshmallows Monster Marsh are an odd Halloween candy that may show up in your child's bag this year. I'd be happy to see them were I not a big fat man with diabetes. 

You got sprinkles on marshmallow filled with chocolate. What's not to love? First bite can be a little hard but once you start chewing they soften up and taste great. 
 

Warheads Extreme Sour Blue Raspberry

 Warheads Extreme Sour Blue Raspberry live up to there name by delivering so much sour that I can hardly keep them in my mouth. This quickly gives way to the sugary sweet of the main flavor making you think you've been through a war to get to that sweet.

You should try not to chew these so you can get the full impact. I will point out that these are not that raspberry but they are very blue. 

Jack in the Box Triple Bonus Jack

 When I looked at the Triple Bonus Jack from Jack in the Box I asked myself if I had gotten the right order. It was smaller than I thought it would be. Then I opened it up and there were the three patties so it was the right thing. 

All in all, this is good enough for what it is. I paid half what I payed fro the Ghost burgers at Carl's Jr.the night before. 

I'm not that impressed, but I must say that it is a solid offering from the second clown of fast food.  

Feastables MrBeast Bar Deez Nutz

I’m going to say that as I got these MrBeast Bars in a pack made for giving out on Halloween that Deez Nutz was an inappropriate flavor for trick or treating. The thing has peanut butter which is not nuts. It may be made of peanuts, but peanuts aren’t technically nuts.

Naming candy something dirty is fine until you want to give it out to children and then you have some kid asking about the name.

I will admit that out of the three MrBeast bars that came in the pack this one was the best tasting. Still, the name makes me glad to get rid of them.

 

Kathy Kaye Popcorn Balls

 I never got the idea of popcorn balls. I mean, let's take popcorn and make it harder to eat and open ourselves up to jokes about eating balls. Why? 

These Kathy Kaye Popcorn Balls are not too sweet and a lot softer if you dip them in coffee. If you don't dip them in coffee you should eat them outside so you don't make a mess.

These are fine and a good alternative to a candy bar. Just don't eat them around teenage boys.  

Carl's Jr. Single The Ghost Burger

 Carl's Jr. Single The Ghost Burger still tasted better than the Big Angus version. I'm not sure why, but I think it's because the bigger burger has less heat. 

I will say that these are not worth the price which where I live is around twenty dollars for a full meal. In addition, they can't figure out if this thing has onions or not and this one came with onions. 

The bacon was chewy and the lettuce and tomato added nothing to the over all taste but did give it more heft. It was less than a dollar more to get the double so if you can finish it I would get that instead. 

This is an okay burger but not for the price.

Kelloggs Rice Krispies Cereal Shocking Orange

 Kelloggs Rice Krispies Cereal Shocking Orange is just like normal Rice Krispies only with orange food coloring or the like. I have to admit this is a great idea because it's festive but not as bad for you as most Halloween options out there. 

Your kids will likely get upset and want sugar but with all the sugar we eat now days they may just drop dead. I wouldn't get this again without a good reason. I don't have kids.

Jelly Belly Candy Corn

 Jelly Belly has always been a name in better candy, but candy corn is a love it or hate it kind of thing that some people can't get enough of. Back when we gave out candy to kids on Halloween I would have children cry with glee as I gave them a bag of candy corn.

Well, now I've tried Jelly Belly Candy Corn and I can say it's a step above the rest. I've had candy corn made with honey and corn syrup but this stuff has sugar and soy.  It's honestly better than most candy corn.

Warheads Extreme Sour Candy Apple

These Warheads Extreme Sour Candy Apple made my mouth water at first. Then came the less sour apple that I say was the best part of the candy. I don’t know why they start so strong and loosen up so fast, but I guess people like them that way.

This was an odd little candy, but not bad all things considered. I would think the sour should last longer, but then I'm too old and too diabetic to eat Warheads.

Rum Chata Pumpkin Spice

 Rum Chata Pumpkin Spice comes to stores in fall and goes on sale soon after. I got it for half off and I think it was a bargain because this is much stronger in flavor than many pumpkin spice cream liqueurs I've had. 

This stuff is a hard coffee creamer that will keep the party going long into the night. 

Good stuff, would buy again.

Russell Stover Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Coconut Cream

 Russell Stover Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Coconut Creams were all over the discount stores last year. They aren't bad, but you do get a few bits of coconut in your mouth when you eat them. Things just will not chew down and are hard to swallow. 

You also need to be careful with these as they may just crack in your kids candy bag. Then they will be stuck to the bag and your kid just may eat that foil wrapper. 

Halloween is so much less fun now that I give all my candy to orphans. I can't eat it myself anyway, I'm a diabetic.

Carl's Jr. Double The Ghost

 Double The Ghost burger at Carl's Jr. is the largest of The Ghost burgers and has the most spice to it because of the double cheese. It has a good amount of heat to it and that adds to the flavor. 

If you're going to try one of The Ghost burgers this is the one. 

I would say this is a good burger. I give it a thumbs up. It's not really hot but it is hot enough to stand out. 

Warheads Colossal Sour Orange

Warheads Colossal Sour Orange reminds me of something but I can’t tell what it is. I mean, it so tastes like some other orange candy I haven’t had in years. 

It also brakes up fast and last for a short time in the mouth until it is gone and you feel like it was only a thought of orange. It’s like an orange contemplation on the meaning of life.

This is a candy for those who want sour and the fleeting nature of existence when compared to the great ticking of the universal clock.

 

Burger King Gomez’s Churro Fries

Burger King's Gomez’s Churro Fries are another thing in an Addams Family box that have nothing to do with the Addams Family. Top it off with the churros needing more sugar and cinnamon and you have a disappointment to end your Addams Family experience.  

The chocolate dipping sauce is thin and drippy even if it tastes okay. 

In a few weeks when these things are a ghost no one will miss them.
 

Dunkin' Pumpkin Spice Medium Roast Coffee

 Dunkin' Pumpkin Spice Medium Roast Coffee didn't taste like much.  I could tell that it was a medium roast, but there was no spice to it. These coffees tend to disappoint. 

 Got this on sale and I can tell you it's just coffee. Maybe those fakes spices they use to flavor this just don't last long.

McDonald's Chicken Big Mac

 McDonald's Chicken Big Mac is the iconic Big Mac with out onion but with chicken. It has the sauce, pickles, lettuce, and three pieces of bread of a Big Mac but is made with breaded chicken patties that are a lot more dry than beef. 

I will say that this is an okay sandwich for the chicken lover among you but will not outshine the normal Big Mac. I ordered mine without sauce because I don't care for it, but I will say the sauce would have made this better because it was on the dry side but not too dry. 

It was fine.

Warheads Ooze Chews

These Warheads Ooze Chews came in a pack with other Warheads candy I got in an after Halloween sale last year. Well, the Ooze Chews are the pick of the litter as far as I’m concerned. They are the best sour candy I have ever had under the Warheads brand.

They taste like cherry cream to me. The oozy-ness of this product is a strong addition and makes the candy stand out.

 

Burger King Thing’s Rings

Burger King's Thing’s Rings are just their onion rings with Thing on the box. They are good as far as onion rings go but do you want your kids making a ring on the thing joke?

I will also say that the ones I got had been sitting around and were on the cold side. 

This was low effort for sure. 
 

Warheads Extreme Sour Candy Watermelon

 I had to take water to keep this Warheads Extreme Sour Candy Watermelon until the sour ran out and I was left with watermelon hard candy. I don’t get the point of these Warhead Extremes and I’m not sad to see the lot of them shipped off to Mexico to be given to some orphans as I do with most of my leftover candy.

Carl's Jr. Big Angus The Ghost

 Big Angus The Ghost is a Carl's Jr. burger with ghost pepper cheese. It's not that hot. I mean, it is hot but not so hot as you would need to have a drink handy to cool you down. The Double ghost is bigger and the Single Ghost is smaller. 

The bacon is almost wasted on this burger as the cheese overshadows it. The soul-scorching sauce that this comes with is really just there but adds no heat. 

This comes with pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomato along with its meat, cheese, sauce, and bacon. It isn't bad, but it really is just a mildly hot burger.
 

Pumpkin Reàl

Pumpkin Reàl is Pumpkin Spice Puree Infused Syrup you can add to coffee or drizzle over sweet things. It arrived at my house by mistake and I had already opened the box so I had to keep it.

Well, lucky me. 

Anyway, stuff goes well in coffee but does leave something at the bottom of the cup. Where I not a blob of a man I could drink this in my coffee every day. It's good, strong, and full of flavor.
 

Jack in the Box Monster Tacos 2024

 I don't know if Monster Tacos went away at Jack in the Box but now they got two of them for like three bucks. As tacos go these are hardly the real thing. 

They're okay. I mean, they should have more meat and less bean filling but no one is saying these are authentic Mexican food... 

If they are they are wrong. 

Russell Stover Milk Chocolate Pumpkin Coconut Nest

Russell Stover is a company that makes Chocolate things that can be good or bad. This Milk Chocolate Pumpkin Coconut Nest would be so much better if you didn’t have the coconut that will not chew down and is left in your mouth.

 

The leftover coconut will tend to be something you don’t want to eat and is hard to swallow so you’ll then be spitting out some white stuff that looks, and may even taste, like the snow in snow globes.

 

I mean, this tastes just fine, but that’s not a good look.

 

Cookie Pop Popcorn Oreo

 Cookie Pop Popcorn Oreo feels like a good idea, but in the end what you have is a bag of popcorn with Oreo dust at the bottom. If you like eating Oreo dust this is a good thing or if you needed something to top your ice cream it would make your day. 

It's not bad popcorn. I mean, they put other stuff on it to flavor it but I really didn't notice the Oreo dust until the bag was almost empty. 

I guess I shouldn't be eating this crap to start with. I mean, it's bad for me, but I don't really get the point of this combination. Popcorn is meant to fill you up and take long to eat. Loading it down with sugar will undo all that so if you intend to do that then make sure it kicks tail.

Warheads Extreme Sour Candy Black Cherry

 The sour didn’t last on these Warheads Extreme Sour Candy Black Cherry but the black cherry was very black cherry. It went from “I can hardly keep this in my mouth” to “this is almost like a cherry cough drop” in like five seconds.

This would be called a dynamic flavor. It changes, but I will admit it did start very Extreme.

Burger King Morticia's Kooky Chocolate Shake

Burger King's Morticia's Kooky Chocolate Shake is the best thing on the Addams Family Menu. It comes topped with black and purple cookie bits but tastes like chocolate chip cookie so that the bits add another layer of flavor. It was so thick I wished I had a spoon to eat it with.

I will admit that I woke up sick after eating this and had to spend a good amount of time passing this into the porcelain thrown, but it was worth it. 
 

Dare Pumpkin Spice Creme Filled Cookies

Dare Pumpkin Spice Creme Filled Cookies where almost pumpkin spice enough for me. It didn't help that they had sat on my shelf for three years before I had them and they were way out of date. 

I could tell, but they were still good. I'm honestly impressed with these cookies. They didn't take the coffee all that well but as cookies they were top notch.
 

Burger King Wednesday’s Whopper

 Burger King's Wednesday’s Whopper is a Whopper with a purple bun. It doesn't taste all that different from a normal Whopper and they didn't give me the cheese that should have come with it. 

I'm going to say that this is just as good as a normal Whopper if a bit more fun. If you're going to Burger King this is just fine. If you don't like Burger King then give this a pass.

Feastables MrBeast Bar Crunch

I think that the more refined chocolate of MrBeast Bar is not suited to the crunch of crispy rice. To be honest, I think the whole idea of putting crispy rice in chocolate started as a way to use less chocolate, but it doesn’t sit well with the semisweet nature of the MrBeast Bar.

This is really just a me thing, I’ve never been a big fan of crunch bars to start with so if you like them but want one with a better chocolate this one is for you.

 

Jack in the Box Double Bonus Jack

The Double Bonus Jack at Jack in the Box was on the what's new menu at the start of the month and so I looked it up. It looks like this is as close as you can get to the original Bonus Jack which was designed to be Jack in the Box's Big Mac. 

What is missing here is a bit of bread but I wouldn't say it would have made this much in the way of better. 

This was fine. It was a low quality cheeseburger with two patties, lettuce, pickles, and some orange sauce.
 

Bones Coffee Company Ruff Weather Oatmeal Cream Pie

 Bones Coffee Company is normally too rich for my blood. I'm not a Disney fan anyway so the Nightmare Before Christmas thing is lost on me. Even when I got this coffee the girl who checked me out didn't want to sell it to me because it was ten dollars. It was half off. 

The Ruff Weather Oatmeal Cream Pie tastes like nothing. You can see it is a very blonde roast and so has little flavor and tastes more like a tea than a coffee. The pie flavor is there but very light and can only be tasted with a deep draft. 

I like my coffee dark so I wouldn't recommend this coffee to anyone. I always wanted to try Bones and now I have and I have to admit I'm not impressed. 

You may want to buy this coffee just as a collectible. That's on you, but if you do buy it because you like it, not because you think it will be worth something. 

L&A Pumpkin Cinnamon Juice

 L&A Pumpkin Cinnamon Juice needs more cinnamon. It's pumpkin pure. 

Cinnamon is a bad combination for this if you want to use it in you're blender as that spice tends to bruise. I'll grant it will keep you're smoothie smooth but it won't add much to the flavor.

Pennsylvania Dutch Pumpkin Spice Cream Liqueur

 Pennsylvania Dutch Pumpkin Spice Cream Liqueur is unimpressive with its spice content. It tastes like Cream Liqueur all right but nothing more than that. When it goes on sale it's not bad as an Irish Cream but will not get your pumpkin spice on.

Warheads Colossal Sours Candy Blue Raspberry

 Warheads Colossal Sours Candy Blue Raspberry is a disk of chalky sour candy that dissolves in your mouth but is unremarkable. I’m not the biggest fan of Warheads and in fact never tried this kind of candy before.

I really like Sour Patch Kids, and so I would say these aren’t as good as those, but they are not bad. I wouldn’t get these again, but the flavor isn’t bad. 

I mean, I’m looking forward to eating a few more.

Sara Lee Pumpkin Pie

Make sure that Sara Lee box says Pumpkin Pie or you may get something else. This is the better of the two but I have to say it was best after I left it to cool for some hours. Right out of the oven it turns into soup.

The soup has less flavor and gets all over. The cold pie is just way better. would buy again.

Jack in the Box Bonus Jack

At Jack in the Box the Bonus Jack was made to compete with the Big Mac and it really has changed over the years. Somewhere along the way it lost a patty and some bread and now all it is is a cheeseburger with pickles, lettuce, and Bonus Jack sauce. 

I don't think it was great to start with, not that I've ever had one before, but it's not great now. 

Kellogg's Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin Cereal

 I ran across this Kellogg's Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin Cereal last year at the discount market and I can say it was there  for a reason. tasted like Styrofoam. 

I'm not a big cereal guy because I can't have too much sugar and breakfast cereal is something you eat if you're too lazy to cook. Further down that road, I can always find a new sausage to try at my local market (um, that came out wrong). That makes pre-sweetened breakfast cereal something I give to the birds. 

With this crud I don't know if the birds would forgive me for feeding it to them. I'd mix it with seeds for sure but I think they'd just pick the seeds out and move on.

They say it tastes like vanilla. They're wrong!

 

Feastables MrBeast Bar Milk Chocolate

The Milk Chocolate MrBeast Bar by Feastables is a slightly bitter European style chocolate that would match best with wine or unsweetened coffee. I was really surprised to find these in the discount bin after Halloween last year, but there they were.

This isn’t so much of a kid’s candy. It has the more refined notes of a fine chocolate. With only five ingredients this is something of a simple yet higher end treat.  Children who just want candy may not put the thought in to understanding these bars but wind drinking fat dudes like me understand them.

 

Warheads Extreme Sour Candy Lemon

Warheads Extreme Sour Candy Lemon reminded me of a lemon drop once I got past the sour that nearly made me spit the thing out. I mean, why do they hit that hard at first? Is this what Extreme Sour means?

Anyway, I used to love lemon drops when I was a kid and so I admit that I liked the flavor of this, but I wouldn’t want to fight past the sour again. It’s just not for me.

 

MTN Dew VooDew 2024

 MTN Dew VooDew 2024 is so a mystery flavor that it disappeared when I had it with ice. I think it's tangerine, but I have to say it's almost nothing. 

This is sugar water at its most disappointing. Give it a pass. 

Warheads Colossal Sours Candy Green Apple

The idea of the Warheads Colossal Sour Candy Green Apple is lost on Me. The sour flavor makes me want to wash it down, and where as I don’t find it unpleasant washing it down makes it over too fast. The fast burst of flavor is a spark in the night to be seen at distance and never understood.

I can’t figure why I would eat candy that has so short a time in my mouth but maybe I’m eating them wrong. I don’t know.

They taste fine, but the whole experience is over too quickly.

 

Jack in the Box Mummy Wrapped Monster Taco

 Over at Jack in the Box they now have the Mummy Wrapped Monster Taco. This is that normal Monster Taco with its bean filling and taco sauce with a flour tortilla filled with cheese like sauce and bacon bits stuck on the outside. 

This is hardly a wrap, but defines a wrap anyway? 

For Jack in the Box this is passable. I wouldn't call it better than a Monster Taco. It's low quality ingredients added to a low quality offering at a place that serves the low end of fast food. It's worth trying if you want to try something new but don't think you'll miss it when it's gone.

Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Pumpkin Spice

 

Kicking off the fall season, Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Pumpkin Spice are my first disappointment. Not that these are bad, but more that they just aren't as good as normal Frosted Flakes and so are just there to be festive. There is some spice in them but not enough to be more than the flavor of cinnamon. 

If you really wanted to make this work it would be to lightly blend some pumpkin spice into milk then add it to normal frosted flakes.  

Give these a pass.
