Jack in the Box Popcorn Chicken

 

Jack in the Box Classic Popcorn Chicken are dry little nuggets of breading with just a little chicken in there. The breading is too thick and heavy and it’s made to hide how little chicken the use.

These are dry even with sauce and low quality. I wouldn’t get them again because they give me indigestion.

 


Pop Secret Extra Butter


 Movie night at home may not be a summer thing. It's more of a fall thing but you may not want to pay the movie theater and the kids need something to do. That's when you reach for Pop Secret Extra Butter to give them the experience of the theater at home. 

I haven't had movie theater popcorn in a long time so I have no idea how true that is. However, I do know that this popcorn is okay. I don't know if the extra butter thing is all that big of a deal. It taste like all the other Pop Secret I've had, but it's good popcorn.

Jones Soda Co Special Release Nukea Cola Victory

I was never a fan of the FallOut games. They take too long for me. This Jones Soda Co Special Release Nukea Cola Victory was at the discount store and so I figured I’d try it. Given that it was gone the next day I have to say I did the right thing.

Anyway, tastes nothing like cola and has a peach flavor of all things. I don’t get it but maybe the game or show would explain. I also wouldn’t call it great. I don’t dislike it but there could be more flavors in there.


 

Crav'N Flavor Classic Potato Chips

Crav'N Flavor Classic Potato Chips are not as greasy as Lays. They have a little less flavor and don't get on your hands as much but if you want the big bag at a good price these aren't bad. 

If you want to put these in a bowl at a party then they are close enough that most folks won't notice, but how much are you saving? 

These aren't bad, but they aren't as good as the real thing.

Tony's Chocolonely Dark Almond Sea Salt Chocolate

Tony's Chocolonely operates on the idea that children should not suffer so that a blob like me can have candy. I agree with this idea. If it were not for this blog I shouldn't be eating chocolate at all, really. I should be eating a salad.

Their Dark Almond Sea Salt Chocolate is a list of things I love mixed together and made into a candy bar. I feel like I need a drink and a shower after eating this because it's so good. I mean, I'm happy that no children were forced to harvest chocolate so I could have this, but I don't think I should eat more because I would never stop eating them if I had them.

Bar-S Smoked Polish Sausage

Bar-S is a low bar because their Smoked Polish Sausage isn’t all that great. I would not say they are bad in anyway. I mean, I like them enough and my cats like them enough. They like them better than those Ball Park hot dogs that even dogs looked at you twice before eating.

They could really have a little more flavor but once you get them in a bun they taste just fine. I got that at a great price so I’m happy.

Bud Light Cocktail Hour Watermelon Mojito

Bud Light Cocktail Hour Watermelon Mojito is not disgusting. That is a low bar but it is the bar for most hard sparkling waters. The flavor isn't that strong to start with but there is some watermelon in their. 

This is a solid offering from Bud Light and where as I wouldn't get it again I would drink all of it that I have. Most of this kind of stuff makes me want to dump it in the grass.

King's Hawaiian Sweet Hamburger Buns

King's Hawaiian Sweet Hamburger Buns could be more sweet. I mean, they didn't taste sweet to me, but they tasted fine. If you're not forced indoors by the horrific heat then these are a just fine bun to use at your backyard gathering. 

As for me, I make my burgers on the grill and toast these up to make them crispy.

Mission Yellow Corn Rounds Tortilla Chips

Mission Yellow Corn Rounds Tortilla Chips are better for scoping things up. I mean, they don't brake when I put them in chili. These are a step up from the strip chips which are always braking. 

If you love bean dip these are your jam. Now that I think of it, bean dip and jam sounds nasty.

Sabra Barbecue Hummus

 I find Sabra Barbecue Hummus off putting. It's sweet but needs more flavor to really be what it want's to be. I didn't taste any sage which to me is the flavor of barbecue.

I wouldn't call this good, but it doesn't make me want to spit it out.

LaCroix NiCola

LaCroix NiCola is like cola without the sugar. I mean, if you love the flavor of cola, but you can't have the sugar, and diet cola gives you the runs then this is a great product. 

As sparkling water goes it would fit well with good quality alcohol.  I have to say, I like this product.

Lays Wavy Original Potato Chips


 Lays Wavy Original Potato Chips are made for dipping. They are thicker than the flat chips and stronger to pick up more dip. So, why do I eat them as is?

Could it be that I'm a fat blob of a man who should never buy these? Yes, that is part of it, but it is also that they are really good.

Sonic Turtle Truffle Nut Blast


 According to my calendar it's the first day of summer and a perfect time for a Sonic Turtle Truffle Nut Blast. Yeah, these are fine but not great. I don't know what it is but these are just not great. Maybe it's that you really forget that there are nuts in there, or that the truffles just aren't very good. 

Anyway, good old water is the best thing for you in the heat were I live and I'll be drinking more of that.

Bud Light Seltzer Cocktail Hour Tropical Punch

Bud Light Seltzer Cocktail Hour Tropical Punch tastes like you didn't wash the glass after drinking Tropical Punch.  It  would have been a glass with ice in it but you still only get a hint of flavor.

I wouldn't call this bad so much as I would just say that it isn't much. I find it tolerable but not enjoyable.

Jelly Belly Island Punch Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Island Punch Jelly Beans are surprisingly sweet at first try but that doesn't last long. I still don't know what island punch should taste like but given the color it's plumb.

Bubly Sparkling Water Pineapple

In the heat of the summer reaching for some Bubly Sparkling Water Pineapple just may cool you off. It cools me off, and I almost never eat pineapple. 

What, you expected me to eat something good for me? Have you seen me? I'm the blob. 

Anyway, with this water you get just a bit of that burn in the back of your throat but not much. Frankly, I like it. I would get it again.

Crav'n Flavor Ripple Cheddar & Sour Cream Chips

Crav'n Flavor Ripple Cheddar & Sour Cream Chips should not be eaten after burning your mouth on pizza. After that I taste no sour cream and the cheese is a little overpowering. 

I would say that these are best paired with a milder dip so that the flavor of the cheese does not clash with whatever your dipping them in. I would, however, say these are not all that great on their own.

SeaPak Budweiser Beer Battered Cod Strips

SeaPak Budweiser Beer Battered Cod Strips taste a little fishy. I mean, they were okay but I would have figured there would have been more of them in the box and they come with tarter sauce. 

I've never understood tarter sauce. 

There was no taste of beer or Budweiser for that matter and I would say these weren't bad and I would get them again at the right price but I wouldn't go looking for them.

D-PLUS Green Tea Baked Wheat Cake


 D-PLUS Green Tea Baked Wheat Cake are super soft and mild in flavor but surprisingly good. They don't go well with coffee because the coffee overwhelms their flavor. 

The outer skin of these is not as tasty as the inner bread which makes the best way of eating these to rip them in half, and point the fresh bread at your tongue.  

You should try these because they are rather good.

Serendipity Ice Cream Unicorn Bliss Sundae

Serendipity Ice Cream Unicorn Bliss Sundae is ice cream for those of you who never grew up maybe because you got molested. It isn't great but it's still ice cream and it has flashy colors so children will like it. 

Look, most of the best ice creams look like crap, but we would still eat them out of a toilet shaped bowl. 

This on the other hand has these big white things that kind of remind me of bone that are hard to eat and crunch in your mouth. I think they're made of powdered sugar. 

This is not great ice cream so you will only love it a little bit. I found it disappointing and it only took me six months to eat it all.

Jelly Belly Licorice Jelly Beans

Jelly Belly Licorice Jelly Beans taste like licorice. All licorice is black by the way. The red stuff is normally cherry flavored. 

How much you like these will depend on how you feel about licorice which I have always liked.

Nissin Fire Wok Hot & Spicy Torched Teriyaki Chicken

Nissin Fire Wok Hot & Spicy Torched Teriyaki Chicken was on sale at my local discount store and I have come to really love my noodles. I'm not a fan of spicy stuff, but this wasn't very spicy.

I found these noodles to be more sweet than spicy and they sopped up most of the water I boiled them in so there wasn't much in the way of broth. They are meant to be low on broth for those of you who don't like to slurp it up.  

I will say that the flavor pack did have a stronger flavor because it wasn't diluted, but I was really expecting a lot more flavor. 

All in all, I would buy again.

Sanzo Mango Sparkling Water

As you can see Sanzo Mango Sparkling Water has stuff in it. It is a cloudy stuff with bits floating in it and I don't care for it. I like my water to be water. This is stuff!

Truly Strawberry Hibiscus Margarita Style Hard Seltzer


 You can really smell the strawberry in this Truly Strawberry Hibiscus Margarita Style Hard Seltzer but you can't taste it as much. It didn't make me sick like most Truly but it was okay. 

I could have used a stronger flavor but on a hot day this would have been good enough.

Valbreso 100% Pure Sheep Milk Cheese


 Valbreso 100% Pure Sheep Milk Cheese packed a lot of flavor into every bite of this wet crumbly cheese, and it smelled so good my cats insisted on trying some. They liked it fine but didn't eat it all. 

I normally don't like fine cheese but only try it for all of you but this is good cheese. I would say this goes well with white wine, but I don't drink white wine.

Banquet Zesty Marinara Sauce Over Meatballs

Banquet Zesty Marinara Sauce Over Meatballs is honestly more Italian inspired than one would thing. Meatballs were originally served as their own dish in sauce. 

The almost Marinara sauce in this would make my grandmother smack me across the face were I to call it food. Then again, she would have called herself a Sicilian and not an Italian. I don't know why that is, because I never knew grandma well. 

Anyway, the sauce taste like almost nothing and the meatballs are full of things that are not meat, but if you don't like cooking this is an easy way to get food ton the table. 

I can complain about these all I want but that doesn't change the fact that I got three of them and ate them all.

Jelly Belly Juicy Pear Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Juicy Pear Jelly Beans taste like I remember Pear Jelly Beans tasting like. I don't think they taste much like pear but then it's more a texture thing. 

They have a flavor you really should try. I never really knew how I feel about them, but they are there own thing.

Rip It Energy Fuel Can'D Man

Rip It Energy Fuel Can'D Man is cotton candy flavored. It isn't as good as cotton candy, and I wouldn't drink it just because I'm thirsty, but I found it drinkable. 

If all things were equal I would not choose this over the normal Rip It they have at the dollar tree and I would never have it over a Venom or monster but it passes the passable limit. 

I would buy more if it was all they had.

Jack in the Box Pink Pineapple Express Shake

 
I always have to point out that when they sake ‘shake’ without adding ‘milk’ the shake can be made of anything. I don’t think you should drink the milk ones anyway.

This Pink Pineapple Express Shake from Jack in the Box tastes of cherry and Hawaiian pineapple, but as pineapple goes there needs to be more of it in this shake. If it had more pineapple I would say you should get this but it just doesn’t have enough flavor to be worth the hit to your health. 

 


AriZona SunRise Grapefruit Hard Seltzer


 AriZona SunRise Grapefruit Hard Seltzer is the best of the lot from this variety pack. It mostly tastes like someone dropped there cut grapefruit into a glass of seltzer, and it gave the stuff a mild flavor. 

The alcohol is so light you can hardly feel it and it will keep your buzz up but not get you there unless you can drink a good amount of it in a short time. 

This stuff is for light weights who drink on an empty stomach. It isn't very good, and I guess that's why I found it at so low a price.

Jack in the Box Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks

 Jack in the Box Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks are covered in sweet and spicy goo which makes them something you don’t want to eat with your hands. I thought you were supposed to dip mozzarella strips in goo and not have them pre-gooed for you but old Jack feels that goo is the way to go.

These are okay. I wouldn’t go getting them if you don’t like mozzarella sticks to start with, but they're okay.

Jack in the Box Honey Garlic Sriracha Crispy Boneless Wings

What is the difference between a chicken nugget and a boneless wing? I think a nugget is normally made of chicken paste where as a boneless wing is made of breast meat. Now, Jack in the Box boneless wings are glorified popcorn chicken. If it were good popcorn chicken it wouldn’t care what you called it.

Now the Honey Garlic Sriracha verity is just okay. They are boneless wings with some goo unevenly slopped on them. I don’t mind them but I’m not going to miss them when they’re gone.

5-Hour Energy Extra Strength Orange Sicle

5-Hour Energy Extra Strength Orange Sicle is what passes for a zero sugar energy drink. As a flavor I think it stinks. I mean, tastes like bad diet orange soda. It works if your thirsty, but past that I would never get this flavor again.

Then again, do you drink energy drinks for the taste or the power. It looks to work fine so it has  power.

Jack in the Box Banana French Toast Sticks

 
I think I got the last of these Banana French Toast Sticks at Jack in the Box, but if they did well they’ll be back. As things go they did taste like banana. I’m not sure why you would want banana flavored French Toast. I felt this was a welcome change to the norm but then I never did dig these before the new flavor.
