Flat Earth Baked Veggie Crisps: Garlic and Herb Field flavored

Taste	Value	Health	Ingredients	Prep	Appearance	Packaging	Total
30	19	14	14	10	5	5	97

This product is a HIT!

Firstly we have to say that any product that uses the word “field” in the flavor name had better be great to overcome the scary dirt associations that come to mind… and thankfully this product not only measures up, but also makes a field seem pretty tasty! The taste is great and there’s no artificial aroma. A lot of chips have an aftertaste that’s not altogether pleasant, but there’s not a hint of it here and the chips are nice and crispy. One criticism which is not directed at these specific chips, but chips in general – we just wish they had zip-locked packaging for extended freshness. Available in other flavors.

Retails for $2.99 / 6 oz.

Wildwood Organics Low Fat Rich and Creamy Probiotic Soymilk: Blueberry flavor

Taste	Value	Health	Ingredients	Prep	Appearance	Packaging	Total
29	20	12	15	10	5	5	95

This product is a HIT!

We love that the company lists the different types of probiotics on the list of ingredients. The taste is good and it has a nice blueberry flavor – sweet, but not too sweet, with a good mouth-feel and not at all heavy and cloying to the palette like so many yogurt drinks. It is high in carbs and sugar – but we like it anyway. Available in other flavors.

Retails for $1.69 / 10 oz.

Gezellig by 40 Park Lane: Champagne – Honey Mustard

Taste	Value	Health	Ingredients	Prep	Appearance	Packaging	Total
28	13	15	15	10	5	4	90

This product is a HIT!

We like the taste of this mustard; not as sweet as your typical honey mustard and the Champagne adds a nice depth to the flavor. After looking at the ingredients we were a little confused about “Champagne-Honey” – so we asked the company and it is actually Champagne and Clover Honey, so we wish they would clarify the ingredient list – we want consumers to get as much information as possible – and with a nice simple ingredient list like this one this company has nothing to hide. It also helps explain the high price of this item, which, although “Hand crafted”, is not organic and needs some justification for the $7.99 price – must be all the Champagne! Available in other flavors.

Retails for $7.99 / 9 oz.

Kraft Bagel-fuls: Original flavor

Taste	Value	Health	Ingredients	Prep	Appearance	Packaging	Total
26	18	10	10	10	5	5	84

We are purists when it comes to our bagels. We like our bagels round, we like them to have a hole and we don’t find it that time-consuming to slice a bagel and put our own cream cheese on it. While we’re sure that some people would argue that this is more convenient, especially for those who love to eat while they’re driving we would argue that it’s not as much fun. They have, however, done a good job of making sure the cream cheese doesn’t leak – by barely putting any in. The photo on the package, as well as the name gave us the impression that the cavity would be chock-full of cream cheese, but that’s not the case. Available in other flavors.

Lesser Evil Kettle Corn: Classic Kettle Flavor

Taste	Value	Health	Ingredients	Prep	Appearance	Packaging	Total
27	16	13	15	N/A 10	3	3	77

The perception we had before tasting this product is that it would taste the way we remembered Kettle Corn to taste: overly sweet and salty. We were pleasantly surprised, and actually we like this product better than the old school version – we just wanted to give you fair warning on what to expect. Our only complaint is that there is more sodium than we would ideally like. The box is cute, but we do feel the extra packaging of the bag inside the box is wasteful in this era of sustainability and we’re glad to hear the company has introduced a new “value” bag that retails for the same price as the box, but contains twice as much popcorn. Available in other flavors.

Retails for $3.49 / 3.65 oz box.
