Anyway, this stuff feels like food scraps tossed into a tray and frozen. If you cook the crap out of it you may get something edible, but if you cook the crap out of it you won't have much left.

Jack in the Box Mini Birria Tacos
These things are okay. If you're a Jack addict then they could be a needed change. They are not worth a trip to Jack if you're not going their already, but they are just fine.
Knorr Burrito Bowl Power Rice Blend
Flavor wise I can't say much for it as lime was the dominant taste, and it could have used some other things to give it more variety. As a burrito bowl it would have needed to be mixed with meat and cheese.
I will say that I like how it looks on the plate. It adds a nice level of dignity to a meal and looks like you spent a lot longer than you did.
All and all, I rank this a buy. I wouldn't make it a normal facet of the dinner table, but it is a nice change from the old simple rice.

Sweetarts Candy Canes Cherry
Past that, they are nothing to look for. If your a cherry addict they will make you smile but these are for your kids and they won't care.

Jack in the Box Birria Buttermilk Ranch Sauce
Over at Jack in the Box you can now get Birria Buttermilk Ranch Sauce which is mildly more flavorful than their normal Buttermilk Ranch Sauce. It is without the cooling effect of normal ranch and is otherwise unimpressive.
It did little to make my Birria Mini Tacos any better.
YerbaƩ Pumpkin Spice
YerbaƩ Pumpkin Spice taste very little like pumpkin spice. I mean, really, what where they thinking, and what do they think pumpkin spice tastes like?
I detect no cinnamon or nutmeg and there certainly isn't any allspice. What is this even meant to be? It taste nothing like pumpkin pie.
I would only get this if you find it at a good price and need and energy drink. If that's not what's going on you can just give this a pass. It tastes odd.

Gamesa Saladitas Saltine Crackers
After that they are normal saltines. If you know how to get them apart they are more versatile than normal crackers, but to me it's just not worth the headaches.

Dunkin Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich
When you wake up after a holiday stupor and luckily still have your wallet you may just find yourself next to a Dunkin. In that case a strong coffee and this Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich may get you alive again long enough to make it safely home.
With eggs, bacon, and cheese this was a good size if on the bland side. I mean, what is it with sourdough these days? You know it should be sour right?
If I were to make this myself I would have grilled the bread or added pepper. It needed more flavor.

Subway Sandwiches Cinnabon Footlong Churro
This isn't that great of a churro. I mean, it wasn't bad, but it was just a bit off.
Smart Ones Slow Roasted Turkey Breast
As you can see, Smart Ones Slow Roasted Turkey Breast is light on the turkey and the gravy is watery. The small bits of turkey are not suited for this kind of meal, but it is tender.
To say this is bad would be wrong but to say that it is good would be misleading. It's something I would get on sale. Frozen food often falls short for me and I'm buying the inexpensive stuff on sale in order to get more reviews in.
The result is that I eat a lot of food that would keep a person alive for a short time but is nether good for you nor satisfying.

Carl's Jr. The Ghost Breakfast Burger
Carl's Jr. has now come out with The Ghost Breakfast Burger which had eggs, bacon, a beef patty, Ghost Pepper cheese, and that "soul scorching" sauce they put on there.
All in all I think it was a rather good burger with just enough heat to make it interesting. You pay a good deal for them, to be honest, but otherwise this is a solid offering from Carl's.
Zevia Ginger Ale
Canada Dry has nothing to worry about when it comes to Zevia Ginger Ale. I’m talking about the real deal now. I’ve never had diet Canada Dry so it could be challenged by this Zevia, but normal Canada Dry is the king of ginger ake.
I found this drink to be un-offensive and even didn’t mind finishing it off. I have some of the fruit Canada Dry flavors that have been sitting around my house for years now. I just never wanted to drink them.
In the world of Ginger Ale this is not the best nor is it the worst. It simply is and I don’t mind it.
Zevia Zero Calorie Soda Mountain Zevia
Zevia Zero Calorie Soda Mountain Zevia is what passes for Mountain Dew in the world of Zevia. It's crap. I mean, it tastes nothing like Mountain Dew because Mountain Dew is a sugary soda that lives on how sweet and full of caffeine it is.
This stuff is so far removed from the real deal that I can't imagine how it got on shelves. It's nothing like Mountain Dew! I can't say I hated it but I can't say it was worth drinking.

Wienerschnitzel Meatball Sandwich
The Wienerschnitzel Meatball Sandwich feels like something you whip up when you have limited ingredients in the house but you're hungry and broke or too drunk to drive.
It's a meatball sandwich made with a hotdog bun. That's not to say it's bad, but that bun is not something you hold without a napkin.
The sauce is chunky, the bun disintegrates, and there really should be one more meatball in there. It's low quality and low price which may be just what you need right now.
Truffettes de France Pumpkin Spice Cocoa Truffles
Truffettes de France Pumpkin Spice Cocoa Truffles will not remind you of pumpkin pie. I mean, do I even know what pumpkin pie tastes like now that I've had all these pumpkin spice knock offs?
Anyway, this is rich in flavor and will go well with bitter coffee. I love coffee, I'm okay with this, now I need more coffee.

Subway Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie
The Subway Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie is the kind of thing you buy to eat with your family because it's just too much cookie. It also isn't a good thing to eat after you drink soda. Soda will overwhelm the sweetness.
I have to be honest this cookie made me want more milk. It was find but not something I would buy again unless I had a child who liked it because it's a lot of food that will make you fat.

Bud Light Seltzer Apple Slices: Strawberry Apple
Bud Light Seltzer Apple Slices: Strawberry Apple is one of the better flavors of the Apple Slice line. I wish they had this on it's own rather than in the multi-pack. The other flavors kind of bring it down for me. At least you get three of them instead of just one which would be sad and lonely.
Were as the Strawberry Apple isn't bad it is also not good enough for me to say I'd drink it on the regular. I would get it for a party, but I wouldn't put it on my buy list.

Chelten House butternut Squash Pasta Sauce
Chelten House is a hard group to find. They're website doesn't appear to have a link to this butternut squash pasta sauce. This is an American style sauce being smooth and mild in flavor.
I do like the smoother sauces, and I have to say this is a good one. I wouldn't say you should stalk up on it but if you want a holiday themed sauce this one will work.
