Minute Maid Drops Mango Tropical

Minute Maid Drops are “made with fruit juice,” but how much fruit juice? It’s also available in Raspberry Lemonade, Fruit Punch, and Lemonade. (Spotted by Joshua at Walmart.)

evol Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese and Uncured Bacon Mac & Cheese

These new, all natural, gluten free, and pricey bowls of mac & cheese look sooo good. (Spotted by Molly at Whole Foods.)

Saffron Road Beef Bulgogi and Bibimbop wiht Beef

Saffron Road Bibimbop with Tofu

Seeing these Saffron Road frozen Korean cuisine entrees make me wonder if dishes like these are common in the frozen food aisles in South Korean stores, or do they have the same crap we have? (Spotted by Molly at Whole Foods.)

Ocean Spray Greek Yogurt Craisins

Greek Yogurt Craisins? That’s so crazy! Actually, not really. The use of Greek yogurt has seen significant growth over the past few years and will probably be a trend that won’t go away for some time, if at all. So it’s not really crazy, it’s predictable. BOOYAH! (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)

Hell's Kitchen Lava Cake and Cookie Pie Dessert Mix

I could be wrong, but a cookie pie just doesn’t seem like Hell’s Kitchen fare. (Spotted by Tiffany at Walmart.)

QUICK REVIEW: Lean Cuisine Morning Collection Turkey Sausage English Muffin

Lean Cuisine Morning Collection Turkey Sausage English Muffin

Purchased Price: $3.49
Size: 2 sandwiches/box
Purchased at: Target
Rating: 5 out of 10
Pros: Edible. Not the worst way to start your morning; that would be not having toilet paper. Why does the picture below make me want to play Super Mario Land? Low fat. Good source of protein and calcium. Cheese on box front image is a realistic representation of what cheese really looks like after being microwaved.
Cons: Not the most flavorful way to start your morning. Heating instruction are a slight pain (wrap in paper towel, 30% power for 90 seconds, flip over, heat on high for 60 seconds); can’t set it and forget it. One side of the English muffin gets a bit hard after being nuked (although it does also happen with other frozen English muffin breakfast sandwiches). Yes, just one side. The other side is fine. Egg whites have no flavor; could’ve used a little butter flavor. Turkey sausage wasn’t seasoned very well.

Nabisco Ritz Crackerfuls Bold Buffalo & Ranch and Crunchin' Chili & Cheese

Bold Buffalo & Ranch Ritz Crackerfuls make me want to combine Ranch Wheat Thins with Spicy Buffalo Wheat Thins and Crunchin’ Chili & Cheese Ritz Crackerfuls make me want to use them as a spoon to eat chili and cheese. (Spotted by Steven at Stop & Shop.)
