Here are some quick reviews of new store brand products we’re too lazy to write full reviews for:<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Market<\/a><\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Market Pantry 90 Calories Fiber & Chocolate Chewy Bars
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $2.99
\nSize:<\/b> 5 bars
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Target
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Pleasant chocolatey flavor and aroma. Nice chewiness<\/a>; a bit chewier than a Rice Krispies treat. Same amount of fiber and cheaper than Fiber One 90 Calorie Chocolate Chewy Bars. There’s a coffee-like flavor at times.
\nCons:<\/b> Bars are on the small side. Only 5 bars, so if you’re sharing a box with someone, you may have to fight for the last one. .02 ounces lighter and half a gram more fat and saturated fat than Fiber One version.
\nNutrition Facts:<\/b> 1 bar – 90 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 85 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein. <\/p>\n

\"Market<\/a><\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Market Pantry Peanut Butter Crunchy Granola Bars
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $3.49
\nSize:<\/b> 12 bars\/6 pouches
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Target
\nRating:<\/b> 5 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Edible. 18 whole grains per two bars. Crunchy. Easy to chew. Two bars per pouch so you can share or eat one and then smash the other on the ground while a starving person watches.
\nCons:<\/b> Weird peanut butter flavor. Weak weird peanut butter flavor. They kind of look as if they’re decomposing<\/a>. Extremely awesome at making crumbs.
\nNutrition Facts:<\/b> 2 bars – 190 calories, 7 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 200 milligrams of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugar, and 6 gram of protein. <\/p>\n

\"Market<\/a><\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Market Pantry Fuji Apple Sparking Water Beverage
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> 69 cents
\nSize:<\/b> 33.8 fl. oz.
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Target
\nRating:<\/b> 8 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> So good that I could drink a lot of this. When well chilled, it tastes very close to Fuji apples. Inexpensive. Zero calories, fat, and carbs. Naturally flavored.
\nCons:<\/b> Contains no juice. Artificial sweeteners stand out when it gets a little warm. No caffeine, but that’s usually the case with sparkling water. So good that I could drink a lot of this.
\nNutrition Facts:<\/b> 8 oz. – 0 calories, 0 grams of fat, 5 milligrams of sodium, 0 grams of carbohydrates, and 0 gram of protein. <\/p>\n

\"Market<\/a><\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Market Pantry Mango Colada Fruit Smoothie
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $2.49
\nSize:<\/b> 8 oz.
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Target
\nRating:<\/b> 4 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Pleasant pineapple flavor. Awesome source of vitamin C. Tastes not bad when water is used instead of juice. The sound of ice being crushed in a blender.
\nCons:<\/b> Not much coconut flavor. Not much mango flavor. Yogurt comes in the form of a powder packet. If you like thick smoothies, you’re going to have to add ice<\/a>. Might go well with rum.
\nNutrition Facts:<\/b> 1\/2 package (made with water) – 140 calories, 0 calories from fat, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 40 milligrams of sodium, 32 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 26 grams of sugar, 2 grams of protein, 20% vitamin A, 6% calcium, and 50% vitamin C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
