QUICK REVIEW: Nabisco Limited Edition Heads or Tails Mega Stuf Oreo

/ / Reviews / 2 Comments

Limited Edition Heads or Tails Mega Stuf Oreo

Purchased Price: $3.48
Size: 13.2 oz
Purchased at: Walmart
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Tastes like a less chocolatey Oreo. The Golden Oreo wafer makes it less cloying than regular Mega Stuf Oreo. If you enjoy licking the creme from Oreo cookies, these cookies have a long lasting creme. Goes great with milk. Makes me want to sing Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder’s “Ebony and Ivory”. Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony. Something something something, oh Lord, why don’t we?
Cons: Wasting precious moments of your life licking off all of the creme in a Mega Stuf Oreo. Kind of a boring addition; would’ve preferred mint or peanut butter. Not knowing which side is heads and which side is tails. Wafers shatter easily. Product name spelling.

Chewy Chips Ahoy Brownie Filled

I think I want my stomach Chewy Chips Ahoy Brownie Filled-filled. (Spotted by KingRhino at Walmart.)

Caffeine Free Coke Zero

Without caffeine, I probably won’t drink Caffeine Free Coke Zero. But I’ll probably stare at those pretty black and gold cans and bring a case of it to a Super Bowl party when the New Orleans Saints are in the championship game again. (Spotted by Rich at Walgreens.)

Nutri-grain Chocolatey and Toffee Crunch Granola Bars

Another month, another new granola bar to post a picture of. (Spotted by Charmi at Foodland.)

Chef Boyardee Chicken Ravioli and Alfredo

Chef Boyardee Spicy Beef Ravioli

Chef Boyardee Chicken Ravioli is back! Chef Boyardee Chicken Alfredo is here! Chef Boyardee Extra Spicy Beef Ravioli is gonna burn my mouth! (Spotted by Jarred at Walmart.)

QUICK REVIEW: Seattle’s Best Coffee Mega Mocha Frozen Coffee Blends

/ / Reviews / 2 Comments

Seattle's Best Coffee Mega Mocha Frozen Coffee Blends

Purchased Price: $3.29
Size: 16 oz. (prepared)
Purchased at: Target
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Tastes like a chocolate milkshake. A wonderful sweet treat. Easy to make, if you have an awesome blender. Made with 100% Arabica coffee beans (too bad I can’t really taste them). Makes two 8-ounce servings (if you wish to share) or one 16-ounce serving (if you have no one to share it with). Frozen bits taste good by themselves without being blended.
Cons: Tastes like a chocolate milkshake; coffee flavor is hardly noticeable. Coffee is listed tenth on ingredients list. If you have a cheap blender, these might be difficult to blend. Right, cheap Oster blender in my kitchen. BYOWTD (Bring Your Own Whipped Topping and Drizzle).
