found these limited time thing at wal-mart a few weeks ago & decided to have them for lunch this week.
it says "noodles in sauce" on the cup, so it is not a soup.
they are kansas city style bbq & texas style bbq flavors. the kanasa city one was very spicy, the texas was not quite as spicy.
not that good & would not get again.
saw these at wal-mart a few days ago & decided to try them.
there are tow flavors; nacho cheese and sweet & tangy BBQ, we got the latter.
protein loaded stuff always has an odd taste, these things included. plus, they have a weird texture. like grains of something (protein?) were put on them.
will not get again. and we have to remember not to get anymore of these protein loaded things.
some kind of limited time thing for the FIFA world cup this year.
apparently they had this flavor out before were never saw it. there's also a Brazilian-Style Garlic Sauce and a Wavy French Onion Soup chip. according to all-recipes lay's will have 40 flavors out, but most will not be in the united states. we have no interest in trying the french onion or the garlic sauce.
the flavor of these chips is overwhelming herbal of the chimichurri & nothing of the steak.
will not get again.
my brother discovered this at wal-mart a few days ago. so we decided to try it.
we put it on chicken patty sandwiches (with medium cheddar & sandwich pepperoni), but could not really taste it. so, we put some on a plate & tipped our fingers in it to find out what it tastes like. i guess it is better as a dip than a condiment.
it is like a spicy ketchup/mayo combo. possibly based on thousand island dressing. as many "special" sauces seem to be.
there isn't a zaxbys in like 250-300 miles of here, but now we know what their "zax sauce" is like.
we figured we needed more probiotics & decided to try kefir.
according to google kefir is a tangy, probiotic-rich fermented drink made from kefir "grains" (a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) mixed with milk or water, resulting in a slightly fizzy, yogurt-like beverage packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein.
we got a raspberry flavored one from target & it is more sour than "tangy." and thick, like a drinkable yogurt.
would not get again. we are thinking of sticking to regular yogurt for probiotics from now on.
in this case "dirty" means that it has a vanilla cream flavor added.
it's the fad right now. taco bell has some drinks like this. i think it might be just a pepsi company thing.
anyway, my brother discovered a 20oz dirty mountain dew at wal-mart a few days ago & we got one to split.
it has a vanilla-y smell & a lemon-ish taste with a bit of vanilla. not horrible. and not something to get again.
found this a few days ago at wal-mart.
i know you're thinking; "wasn't that for thanksgiving?" well, it had a use by date of sept. 2026 so it was still good.
the taste of it was like stove top's savory herbs variety, but a lighter taste with the occasional tart cranberry.
tried it, so there's no reason to get it again.
discovered this at wal-mart a few days ago.
it is dot's seasoned pretzel twists (mini) with garlic rye chips, bold cheese seasoned pita chips, and savory corn cereal (chex).
it's OK, put pricey ($6.17 for 14oz). i like chex snack mixes better, and they are cheaper ($3.96 for 13.5oz). and chex has bigger rye chips.
despite not liking the last batch of krispy kreme doughuts from wal-mart, my brother discovered the limited time oreo ones and insisted we get them.
first of all; they are nearly $12 ($11.98) for 6!
second; they were better then the valentine's day ones. but not worth nearly $2 per doughnut. IMHO.
heard about this brand fro a bit, saw it at target and decided to get it.
we got the vanilla bean one and it was OK. nothing special. breyers natural vanilla or blue bunny vanilla bean is just as good and usually a cheaper price.
a long time ago wal-mart had prepackaged krispy kream doughnuts on a display stand near the checkouts. they got rid of them awhile back because krispy kreme sales were not that good.
well, a couple of weeks ago we see they had a display by the checkouts again. this week we decided to get a half-dozen.
there was a glazed, chocolate iced, strawberry iced with sprinkles, cream filled with chocolate icing, strawberry jelly filled, & chocolates iced with sprinkles.
they were not very good. we thought the strawberry iced was just pink & not a flavored thing. it had a strong scent that hits you in the face a bit, like fake strawberry will do with a kind of strong strawberry taste. and the filled doughnuts did not have much filling.
disappointing and we will not get again.
we recently came across some new to us breads in the bakery area of wal-mart.
from a company called cidrines a porto rican bread; (from their site) "pan criollo strikes a harmonious balance between its crispy crust and soft crumb." it was pretty good, a very soft interior.
sobao bread, from the same company. kind of like a sweet french bread. but not as sweet as hawaiian bread.
and cubano bread from the wal-mart bakery was kind of like italian bread with a denser crust.
these are some new(?) limited-time thing that my brother discovered at target. a few days after christmas they had their christmas candy 30% off, so we got a bag to try.
not good. very strong fake sugar cookie taste. obviously will not get again.
my brother: "reese's need to stop with all of these flavors."
me: "we need to stop buying them."
everything is so expensive these days.
we only got 2 packages (each, brother want's white ones) of reese's PB trees this year.
i didn't bother with any chocolate coated gingerbread from aldi this year.
kind of depressing really.
hope you have a nice holiday, for those who celebrate.
hope you have some good leftover for tomorrow & will find some good deals in the black friday (or cyber monday) sales.
and be careful driving today, thanksgiving in one of the bigger times of the ear for drunk driving accidents. and remember 'buzzed" driving can be just as bad as drunk driving.
this time it was flipz; these candy-coated pretzel things. we got 3; milk chocolate, white fudge & fried chocolatey sandwich cookie flavor (a limited time thing).
all of them were fine for what they are; cheap snacks with salty & sweet flavors.
would probably get again.
some kind of limited time thing my brother found at wal-mart a few days ago.
we got one to split and we both agree there is a vague cream taste to it.
not sure what makes it a "holiday" thing, other than the label looks like christmas wrapping paper.
the drink is nothing to get again.
discovered this at wal-mart at one of the end-cap things by the checkouts. they also had cookies n' cream & salted caramel (we tried those). according to google this has been out since july, but we've never seen them before.
rather strong cinnamon taste. kind of like redhots, but not as strong a flavor. i could not taste the sugar part of the snickerdoodle flavor, nor the chocolate or caramel of the twix. glad i split this with my brother.
if you like the kind of heat/spice redhots has, then this is for you. otherwise skip it.
obviously will not get again.
went to a dollar tree for the first time in a while and decided to get some snacks.
there's a company called brim's that had some chips and whatnot. we got their version of funyuns & their bbq pork rinds.
their funyuns were ok. not a very strong flavor and they had some kind of herb on them. which we've never seen before in a version of funyuns.
the bbq pork rinds had too much bbq flavored dust on them. which is often typical of flavored pork rinds.
neither is anything to get again.
we will probably not get any this year. they don't have white chocolate reeces pumpkins that my brother likes. and everything is so expensive now. we're going to save money and get christmas candy later.
of course this plan may go out the window if there's a good discount on a mixed bag of stuff that we both like that we could divide among us.
