Market Pantry Chocolate Truffle Muffin Caps

Purchased Price: $3.79
Size: 4 count
Purchased at: Target
Rating: 3 out of 10
Pros: They look good. You can stick them in the microwave or let them thaw at room temperature for 45 minutes. Contains live and active cultures. Only 100 calories. 5 grams of fiber per muffin cap.
Cons: Weird slightly bitter flavor. Looks more chocolatey than they really are. Melted chocolate chips have a grainy texture. They look like VitaTops, but don’t provide the same amount of vitamins and minerals. Odd chewy texture. Makes me want my money back. There are tastier ways to get fiber. Calling these muffin caps instead of muffin tops.

FAST FOOD FIVE – 10/21/2013

/ / Fast Food News

Here are five recent fast food news bites:

McDonald’s is testing products with jalapeños. Now that they’ve worked with habanero and jalapeño, I hope ghost chili peppers are next so that I can make my face as red as Ronald’s hair when I eat McDonald’s. (via Grub Grade)

The Golden Arches is also testing affordable, new McChicken and McDouble varieties that’ll continue to make their Mighty Wings look expensive. (via Burger Business)

Jack in the Box now offers a pumpkin spice coffee. But I’m really excited about them selling holiday Jack antenna balls. (via Business Wire)

Are you angry about Burger King not offering their Angry Whopper anymore? You can stop being angry because it’s back…for a limited time. Well, at least you can stop being angry for a little while. (via Burger King)

Chipotle’s Boorito is back! Visit any Chipotle in costume from 4 p.m. to closing on Halloween and get a burrito, bowl, salad, or tacos for three dollars. If you don’t have a costume and going to Chipotle after a day at the office, just say you’re dressed as an office worker or job interviewee. (via Chipotle)

QUICK REVIEW: Keebler Town House Mediterranean Herb Pita Oven Baked Crackers

/ / Reviews / 7 Comments

Keebler Town House Mediterranean Herb Pita Oven Baked Crackers

Purchased Price: $3.50 (on sale)
Size: 9.5 oz.
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Pizza snack-like flavor. 0 grams of saturated fat. Great crunch. Oven baked. Keebler recommends you eat them with dip, but they have enough flavor by themselves. Leaves just enough seasoning on your fingers to make cleaning them enjoyable.
Cons: Googled “Mediterranean herbs” to find out what they are and none of them are listed in this cracker’s ingredients, so I’m not sure what the herby stuff on each cracker are. Maybe the box is supposed to say “Pizza” instead of “Pita.” Not made by elves with magic in a tree; they’re made by machines with ovens in a huge factory.

Nature Valley Limited Edition Pumpkin Pie Granola Thins

There’s a baking blogger out there who’s using this as pumpkin pie crust. And there’s a junk food blogger out there who’s posting just a photo of the box. (Spotted by Aaron at Wegmans.)

Maine Root Pumpkin Pie Soda

Pumpkin pie soda means one thing: pumpkin pie burps. (Spotted by James at Fresh Market.)

Archer Farms Pumpkin Harvest Salsa

Having corn in salsa freaks me out. Having corn AND pumpkin in a salsa makes me shudder. So place these around your house if you want to scare me. (Spotted by Brandon at Target.)

Archer Farms Pumpkin Spice Instant Oatmeal

This will warm you up after a long night of TP’ing trees, throwing eggs at peoples houses, getting caught by the cops, spending some time in a cell next to someone who may have murdered someone, and getting bailed out by your angry parents. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

Thomas' Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bagels

If you get sick of eating Thomas’ Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice English Muffins, you can eat Thomas’ Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bagels. Variety! (Spotted by Harrison at Walmart.)
