Jelly Belly Red Apple Jelly Beans

Jelly Belly Red Apple Jelly Beans don't really taste like apple but then I'm not even sure "red" is a breed of apple. I don't know what I was expecting with these but I guess it should have been more apple flavored. 

Jelly Belly has a lot of apple flavors and I don't like any of them. 
 

Keebler Superman Strong Berries Fudge Stripes Cookies

The elves over at Keebler had made these Superman Strong Berries Fudge Strips Cookies and I don’t get how berry is a Superman flavor. They are red and white which would make me thing of red velvet cake which could have been a lot better.

 

The berry flavor isn’t strong but it is there and these are an interesting cookie for those of you who eat cookies. Me, I’m a big fat dude and I don’t need cookies so I should give these a pass but I’m a food blogger so here we are.

 

Sara Lee Plain Bagels

Sara Lee Plain Bagels are bagels. I wouldn't go eating them cold. They work well as bagels but what does one say about plain bagels?
 

Carl’s Jr. Side of Queso

 At Carl’s Jr. you can get a Side of Queso for like a buck fifty and I was dumb enough to buy it and try it. It’s bland watery cheese sauce that you would be better off passing and having ketchup.

 

So fail!

Tuong Ot Sriracha Extra Spicy Ramen

Tuong Ot Sriracha Extra Spicy Ramen was hot. It was hot enough so that I needed to have water on hand, and it cleared my nostrils and I had to whipe my nose. As I had a five pack of these I found I like it better with more water than the pack recommends but you can see I added a good amount of vegetables. 

I'm not a spice fan so I never eat these kinds of food save for this blog. If you're a spice hound you may need to have some hot sauce on hand to perk this up, but for me it was very spicy. 

Honestly, at the right price I would get this again but I would rather have a tame flavor. 

Kroger Wavy Original Potato Chips

Kroger Wavy Original Potato Chips where on sale for like a buck twenty nine at my local Ralph's and so I got a few and they are spot on party potato chips. You can really scoop your dip with these.

I guess the point is that "original" potato chips are not hard to make. 
 

Hostess Triple Chocolate Kazbar

 The Hostess Kazbar is a layer bar. This is kind of like a cake with filling only cut into a bar and not as tall. The Triple Chocolate version is chocolate cake with chocolate filling and chocolate icing. 

I have to say this isn't bad and shaped for dipping. I'm not in love, but I like them. 

In N' Out Small Soda

I ordered a small soda at In N' Out and when I saw the cup I thought it had to be really small. I mean it just looked like nothing to me. It's a full fourteen ounces. It's more than a normal can of soda. 

I don't know what that means to you but it really put soda into perspective for me.
 

Jelly Belly Peach Jelly Beans

 Jelly Belly Peach Jelly Beans are peachy. I mean, I thought "apricot" but I guess those are close enough to peaches. I don't really like peaches anyway so this is no big loss for me.

Nonnis Biscotti Salted Caramel

 Nonnis Biscotti Salted Caramel is next level. Dip them in coffee and you activate the salt somehow. They are like ten times better when you put them in coffee which is the point of Biscotti in the first place. 

They have big chunks of Caramel that are the last things to brake down as you chew.  

I've never had Biscotti this good. 

Carl's Jr. Double Queso Crunch Burger

The Double Queso Crunch Burger at Carl's Jr. has more meat and cheese than the single and that being said most of the flavor comes from the cheese. That means this is a big improvement over the single. I really liked this so much better.

 It still has the problem of those tortilla strips that get soggy and the cheese slime they add over the spicy cheese slices make the burger wet but not better.

This is a great burger to be honest and I’d get another if I weren’t a human standing for Godzilla.

 

The Father's Table New York Style Cheesecake

The Father's Table New York Style Cheesecake comes in their variety pack and is just the right size for dropping in your mouth. I would love to wake up in the morning and have coffee and cheesecake with a hot woman. This would be just the right cheesecake for that.

This is best had with dark coffee or bitter wine. I would say it's just a bite short on flavor but with the black coffee I love it gets the job done.
 

McDonald's Blueberry & Crème Pie

The Blueberry & Cream Pie was a thing at McDonald’s and it, well, was a thing at McDonald’s. It was unimpressive to say the least with little in the way of blueberry texture, and I think it was made of jelly and not blueberries. I don’t know if it was blueberry jelly but it was blue.

This was fine, not great but fine, I would get it again were I not so fat.

 

Starbucks Tripleshot Energy Extra Strength French Vanilla

Starbucks Tripleshot Energy Extra Strength French Vanilla tastes like milk. I mean, it just tastes like milk with some stuff in it. I couldn't really taste coffee or vanilla. 

French Vanilla is a flavor of ice cream so I couldn't have said it tasted like that at all but I mean, come on, what is this stuff?  

This works to keep you going but fails to be good.

 

Carl's Jr. Queso Crunch Burger

The Queso Crunch Burger at Carl's Jr. is a mess of hot cheese, cheese goop, meat and tortilla strips. There is a reasonable amount of heat in this burger but the tortilla strips will get soggy fast so you best eat them in good time.

All in all, this wasn’t bad. I can’t say it was really great but I would eat another.

Then again, I’m a big fat man and would eat three of these things had have another snack.

 

Kroger Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips

Kroger Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips are an interesting chip. I didn't read that bag until after I tried them and I have to admit they have just enough spice to make them good without being overpowering. 

I don't know why this flavor isn't more common because it works very well. You should try these. They're a strange little chip with just enough flavor.
 

Costco Food Court Hot Dog

 I don't go to Costco as much as I used to so my time at the food court tends to be pizza related. This day I was feeling bad and needed something light. 

The Hot Dog is a classic of the food court and much beloved. I can't see why, they aren't that impressive but they are big.

The bun was in two parts which bothered me but at Costco you can add a lot of stuff on top. It's all stuff I don't like save for ketchup and mustered, but if you have a Costco card and you're hungry it will do you.

Nongshim Bowl Noodle Spicy Chicken

 Is there anything more college than Nongshim Bowl Noodle Spicy Chicken? Yes, low quality beer. However, I don't drink piss water so we need to talk about this chicken noodle stuff. 

Anyway, it taste like noodles. I would never has said there was chicken flavor in it, but then I think I get so many chicken flavored noodles that I guess that's what they taste like to me. I will also grant that there are streets in LA where the gutters are filled with these things, because that is all the people can afford. 

These are a sign of poverty but they fill you up. I like them, but now I'm depressed.

On-Cor Traditionals Family Size Gravy & Salisbury Steaks

On-Cor Traditionals Family Size Gravy & Salisbury Steaks are not a good example of Salisbury steak. Dr. Salisbury would not approve this crap. It is more like meatloaf slices than Salisbury steak.  

Salisbury steak is basically a hamburger in gravy. It would be best made of ground beef. This was so bad that my cats ate the gravy and left the meat. 

I know cats are picky, but they left the beef till last and only ate it hours later after licking up all the gravy. This was bad cat food to them and you're supposed to feed your family with it?
 

McDonald's Orange Juice

 McDonald's Orange Juice looks nothing like it did when I was young, but still tastes like orange candy. It can't be as bad for me as soda but can't be all that good for me either. 

All and all, it's not bad. 

Doritos Late Night Sizzlin' Cheeseburger

 Someone was high and came up with the idea of Doritos Late Night Sizzlin' Cheeseburger and they taste like ketchup. There is a little more flavor in those but to be honest not much and it all washes out if you eat too many of them. 

These are not as good as normal Doritos so I wouldn't go looking for them unless you intend to enhance the flavor with, um, herbs.  

I guess people smoke the devil's lettuce at night. 

Betty Crocker Sour Cream & Chives Mashed Potatoes

 Betty Crocker must be tripping balls if they thing these things taste like Sour Cream and Chives. These Sour Cream & Chives Mashed Potatoes just tasted like potatoes. I mean, I love potatoes so I was just fine with that, but if you want them with Sour Cream and Chives you will be disappointed.

Watermelon Flavor Extra Strength 5-hour ENERGY Drink

Watermelon Flavor Extra Strength 5-hour Energy Drink tastes okay. It isn't great and it works well but the vitamins in this drink are just as crazy as the world we live in. I don't think this stuff is safe, but I didn't read the label before buying. 

If it's crunch time or if it's the first day of your week and you work nights this stuff may just be what you need to get the ball rolling. Drink in moderation because too much of anything will hurt you in the end.
 

Bar-S Deli Style Oven Roasted Turkey Breast

Bar-S Deli Style Oven Roasted Turkey Breast was on sale and I got the last to packs which ended up being okay. I mean, Bar-S is not known for being good meat but rather a low bar for quality. 

I can say this was a delicate slice of turkey and it was passable but not great.  I had seconds but didn't regret tossing this to the cats.
 

Truly Mango Chili Margarita Style Hard Seltzer

Truly Mango Chili Margarita Style Hard Seltzer almost tastes like mango chili. It falls short but tastes okay. I would say that if you added the real fruit with chili it would probably taste a lot better rather than becoming too thin. 

It wasn't great but it was fine. 
 

Jelly Belly Strawberry Cheesecake Jelly Beans

 Jelly Belly Strawberry Cheesecake Jelly Beans need more cheesecake. There is enough strawberry but it could be less candy and more fruit but all and all these are just a disappointment. 

5-Hour Energy Extra Strength Pineapple Splash Energy Drink

5-Hour Energy Extra Strength is the kind of thing you shouldn't mess with. I mean, the stats on these make me ask how much it hurts when you drink one.

Well, I drank one and I'm still alive. The Pineapple Splash flavor is okay.  I wouldn't drink it for the taste but it didn't make me feel sick or want to spit it out. 

If I had added some real pineapple or maybe the right soda and a vodka this would have been a real good drink.

Still, don't go drinking these every day. 
 

Pepsi Soda Shop Real Sugar Soda

 

Pepsi’s Soda Shop has always been a finer Soda being made with real sugar and having a little more class. I still have to question the Real Sugar Soda Shop Pepsi as there is already a real sugar Pepsi out there.

Truth be told, I have never held them up side by side and tasted them to see if I could tell the difference, but I wouldn’t mind another case or two of this in my closet.

I drink too much soda, but the real sugar is better for my diabetes.
