QUICK REVIEW: Trader Joe’s Cheddar & Horseradish Potato Chips

/ / Reviews / 11 Comments

Trader Joe's Cheddar & Horseradish Potato Chips

Purchased Price: N/A
Size: 7 oz. bag
Purchased at: Trader Joe’s
Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: Bold horseradish flavor and creamy cheddar flavor takes your taste buds on a tasty roller coaster ride. If you enjoy horseradish (and its burn), you will love these chips and licking the seasoning off your fingers. Thick chips. Awesome crunch that’s crunchier than other kettle chips.
Cons: Doesn’t come in a huge bag that can double as a body pillow. Only available at Trader Joe’s and there isn’t a Trader Joe’s on the rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Lay's Air Pop Original Potato Chips

Lay’s Air Pop Potato Chips? It appears Lay’s has learned something from watching Unwrapped on the Food Network. (Spotted by Austin at Duane Reade.)

Marie Callender's Cakes

I wonder if I could stuff the two mini Marie Callender’s cakes that come in a box into my mouth. Now that I think about it, with all the sugar those two cakes probably have, I think that idea is a Marie Callendon’t. (Spotted by Nick at Price Chopper.)

Arizona Mango Lime Rickey

More Arizona Lime Rickey flavors that a number of people will add gin or bourbon to. (Spotted by Marisa at 7-Eleven.)

South Beach Diet Vanilla Caramel ProteinFit

Wait a minute…$6.68 for a box of snack bars! At Walmart! I thought the South Beach Diet was supposed to make people skinny, not wallets. (Spotted by Melissa at Walmart.)

QUICK REVIEW: Tropical Citrus Rockstar Energy Water

/ / Reviews

Tropical Citrus Rockstar Energy Water

Purchased Price: $1.59
Size: 20 oz. bottle
Purchased at: 7-Eleven
Rating: 5 out of 10
Pros: Hydrating. If you enjoy kicking your heart with 200 milligrams of caffeine, you will like this. Contains typical Rockstar Energy Drink ingredients. Sugar free. Zero calories. Provides 100 percent of your daily vitamin C.
Cons: If you hate the amount of flavor VitaminWaters have, you’ll hate this. Tropical citrus flavor was a bit odd and it almost doesn’t do a good job of masking the bitterness of the caffeine. Way too easy to drink. Artificial sweeteners more noticeable as it gets warmer.

Nutrition Facts: 0 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 milligrams of sodium, 35 milligrams of potassium, 0 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, and 100% vitamin C.
