I tried the repellent and gas bombs, the only thing that worked were the traps. You have to dig a hole but if you don't kill the gophers they will destroy your yard so a hole is no big deal.I used the Sweeneys Gopher traps they worked great.Sweeneys 9013 Gopher Trap, 2-PackAs a follow up we have killed all the gophers on our 5 acres (at least the active ones), we did this in 3 days. We spent 3 months trying repellents and gas bombs. | Doesn't work use traps |
You literally have to smother this in some sort of sauce for it to taste half-decent. It tastes nothing like real chicken and on top of that it also tastes foul. DO NOT BUY THIS. | This stuff tastes awful. Stay away!! |
My yorkie ate this dog chew and the next morning she threw up all of the pieces. Didn't want to eat all day and was sick. No more of these for her. Not worth the risk if it were to get stuck in her intestines. Not worth making her sick. Would rate "O" stars if I could. These are awful.... not for small dogs at all!!! Great that they are made in the USA but they are not good for small dogs. | Made my yorkie sick |
I thought I was getting the regular green tea. This stuff stinks and they won't take it back | Taste bad be careful you don't order by mistake they won't take it back |
Head Country is the perfect BBQ sauce -- flavorful but not too spicy. We have served it to hundreds of people and always get rave reviews. | great product, shipped securely with no breakage. |
I didn't have time to complain so this is what it is, but I got the chips as promised with good delivery time but they had melted and reformed into one large chunk in each bag. They were completely unusable. I had to pitch them. No clue what the seller would have done but I didn't bother complaining... ran out to whole foods and bought what they had. I would have much preferred the Guittard chips as they are delicious. There was no ice in the box, just 2 bags of melted chips. Bummer. My 1 star is for the seller not the product. If its winter or you live somewhere cold, order away as these are fantastic chips. If its summer, don't do it. | Great chips, great flavor, came MELTED |
Once when driving on I 95 north, near New York City, I got a very bad sinus headache, it seemed to be caused by the Air Pollution. After the City was behind us I popped a couple Eclipse Peppermint gums in my mouth and began chewing. Within minutes my headache was gone. I prefer the Spearmint flavor and use it many times a week to clear up my sinuses. The car cup gum is cheaper and has less of the minty power, but it still works for me. If I am very congested I use the blister pack version because it has a much stronger taste and sinus clearing effect. Eclipse Gum and a Neti Pot should be considered "must have" medicine for anyone with allergies. | Best Sinus Medicine Around |
It's the main ingredient in this supposedly "no artificial flavors" product for cats. Cats aren't vegetarians! And they don't recognize this stuff as food, either. There's no meat or meat protein in this weirdly pink-colored, all vegetables and fruits, non-cat-friendly goop. Mine just looked at me funny and walked away when I offered it to them. Google this and check the ingredients list before you buy this for your cat--and then don't. | What the heck is "vegetarian salmon flavor broth"? |
Ok I have to weigh in here as this is already becoming a contentious discussion. I am speaking as one of the few people who is legally permitted to be in the presence of children AND enjoys the flavor of Groundball Grape. Rather than staunchly defending my own predilections, I must say that I have some truly bizarre tastes when it comes to food and sweets in particular. As a child, I once broke the seal on a bottle of that horrible pink candy-medicine and drank the gooey nectar simply because I found it tasty. I have bought 1lb bags of fine dinner mints with the intent of sole consumption, and also enjoy orange circus peanuts. In my adult years, I have been known to eat tacos for breakfast and dunk razor-shaved slices of salami into milkshakes, a la chips n' dip.It is I, dear readers who enjoys the tangy, tart, unfavorably robust and chemical flavor of Ground Ball Grape. I defend my enjoyment of it as a matter of personal taste, but would never even suggest it as a preference of others. If we are a member of this minority and wish to maintain strong opinions of such a personal nature, we must recognize not only the futility of defending our untenable position, but that it is wrong to do so. To even imply that anybody 'should' enjoy this flavor is to betray one's own position. By the very nature of the thing, it is absurd to like this disgusting gum. Anyone who says that Groundball Grape is a 'good' flavor, or that it should be a 'well liked' flavor is defining themselves as a madman in the eyes of society. Any opinions held are the product of sheer lunacy. One must accept that the very fact of liking this flavor is unusual, and exhibit nothing but sympathy for those who despise it. Members such as CP should be supported and consoled, and should be reconciled with their families, in time. | One man's grape is another man's garbage |
It was exactly what I was looking for and can't wait for it to grow up and fill out. It's beautiful | I love my little tree. |
I am extremely disappointed in Amazon. These coffee pods are listed near the Nespreso coffee machines and are both manufactured by Nestle. I assumed these pods would fit the Nespresso machine I ordered as a gift for my wife but they do not fit. Amazon states their policy is not to take these items back. This was a very misleading representation of the products you sell and poor marketing. I am now stuck with three boxes of different Nestle pods that I have no use for.Krups Nescaf? 27327 Coffee Pods, Dolce Gusto Cappuccino | Nescafe coffee pod reviews |
These crackers are great for a snack or as part of a meal. They are not real sweet, but just enough so you don't feel deprived. I love them. Peanut butter, apple butter or cream cheese go wonderfully on these crackers. What a treat! | Snowy Want Want Crackers |
My black Lab Sammy loves the Zoe Low Calorie Treat Sticks I bought at Amazon. Because they have only 28 calories each, he can enjoy a few every day. The treats are also good for his teeth as they keep down the tartar. | Sammy loves Zoe Low Calorie Treat Sticks |
I DIDNT LIKE THESE BROWNIES AT ALL. THEY DIDNT TASTE LIKE BROWNIES THEY TASTED WET. MAYBE MINE WERENT COOKED ALL THE WAY. BROWNIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CHEWIE AND THESE WERENT AT ALL. THEY HAD A WET CAKE LIKE TEXTURE. I WOULDNT BUY THESE AGAIN. | TOO MOIST..FELT AND TASTED WET |
I just sent a complaint to Amazon because, like others, I did not get the item pictured. I got the restaurant-style container that cannot be closed. Not only that but, for a set of 4, the restaurant-style containers are a cheaper product. Restaurants like the lids with holes on two sides because they know the containers will be used many times during the day by many patrons. So, there is little chance of the soy sauce spoiling before the container needs to be refilled. Not so with people at home. I'm the only one here and do NOT use soy sauce every day. So, I'm probably going to have to pour it into another bottle that DOES have a lid that closes ... just to keep it fresh.So, 5 stars to Kikkoman for making a great soy sauce and 0 stars to Amazon for cheaping out on at-home customers with an unfair switcheroo. Between 5 and 0 stars, the average I give this order is 3.P.S. When I sent the complaint to Amazon, I specifically stated that I wasn't asking for a refund. They responded to my complaint - saying they were giving me a refund anyway and asking if it solved my problem. I told them, "No," because I was still stuck with 3 restaurant-style containers. However, they did say they would investigate why this switcheroo is happening. Hope they fix it for future orders.P.P.S. Up to this point, I was merely disappointed. But then, Amazon responded to my response. They suggested I "try one of their other sellers." And they asked me again if this solved my problem. I answered yes ... but only to get them off my back. And I took away 1 more star - making my review a 2-star review. Buying from Amazon should be like buying from any other store. Customers need to "trust" that the store "knows" what it is selling. If I visited a local Safeway store and bought this item - only to find the item switched in my shopping bag when I got home - I'd be disappointed. A refund doesn't put the product I bought in my home. And the suggestion to try a different Safeway store would be a bit insulting. Who knows, maybe the other store would do the same switcheroo. Selling and buying should be a transaction, not a crap-shoot. | How many complaints does it take? |
Talbott Teas Green Tea Heaven is simply the best green tea I have ever tasted. Everyone kept telling me to drink green tea for the health benefits, but it always tasted like grass to me. This tea has strawberry and rhubarb. It is absolutely amazing. I also read on their website www.TalbottTeas.com that the founder of the company created teas for Oprah. | Best Green Tea |
I was reluctant to try the Velveeta skillets dinner kit because I cannot stand hamburger helper and this product reminded me of it. However I was really surprised by how much I liked it. This box meal is just bursting with flavor unlike other box meals. You can really taste all the ingredients of the cheese, broccoli, and chicken. The Velveeta brand box meals are the best that I have tried thus far. They are really simple to make and make a good size dinner portion. For the price you cannot go wrong with Velveeta Chicken and Broccoli Skillets Dinner Kit. These are a hit with the family as well. So what are you waiting for? Go out and buy one today and you will not be disappointed. | Move over Hamburger Helper! :) |
I read a similar review saying that the person had received an unmarked box with the 24 packets and that there was no expiration date and it was gritty/of a weird texture, but I figured it would just be the luck fo the draw. This came to me and the packets are completed separated into oil/nuts and you can't even mix them. I cant even get it out of the package. They're basically inedible, and not creamy and soft like the samples I received directly from Barney Butter which is what I was hoping for. I basically have to just throw these out. | Very Disappointing. Do NOT order this |
This coffee left an Awful Arcid aftertaste in my mouth, and now I have to use up 2 bags (if I don't toss them).The Cafe Altura Organic Peru beans taste Much better to me (I don't like their highly-rated Sumatra), and a better price too!Cafe Altura Organic Coffee, Peruvian Dark, Whole Bean, 32-Ounce Bag | Weaver's Peru Organic was a disappointment! |
but I drink dark roasts all the time, and I thought this one was extremely bitter and acidic. Bad batch, maybe, but I wouldn't buy it again. | Maybe it's just me . . . |
I have tried many water flavorings and additives. So far none are worth it. This one actually smells really good. Like a srong cup of cherry koolaid. So I was hoping for the flavor as well. No such luck. One squeeze to 8oz just tasted like it poisoned my water. 2 squeezes darkened the color and made the aftertaste worse. 3 squeezes gave a light fruity hint of flavor but the bitterness and aftertaste overwhelmed it. Since it tastes like cough syrup I did not try 4 squeezes. I might mention the aftertaste is like diet dinks with artificial sugar that makes the roof of your mouth feel caked up. So I did drink tons of good old fashioned plain water to get rid of it. So it really does make you drink more water but not for the reasons it claims. | Nasty Bitter Medicine Flavor. |
Picked this up at a SUPER price on Amazon. The first pot of this coffee that I made was so blaah and lacking any body that I packed it up and sent it back.I would give a higher rating if the coffee had been fresher. The "best if used by" dates on my shipment were not as far out as what I can buy at the "W" store by 3 or 4 months. When I opened the first bag it had a pleasant but almost non-existant aroma. The beans appeared very dry. This is confirmed by nearly no residue in the grinding chamber after grinding. But most beans from Eight O'Clock seem to be dry. I have now used Bokar Blend, Columbian, Original, and Original Decaf the 50/50. Have not tried the French of Italian roasts, but I am guessing that the beans would have some oil sheen on them.Im summary EOC full decaf in the green bag tastes better.Update: 10/3/2010 I tried the Half Caf in a Mellita 4 cup cone drip maker, and had better results. It had more body and flavor than when brewed in my Bunn. My guess is that the fast brew cycle of the Bunn, is too quick to extract flavor fron decafs and half cafs. So I am upping my rating to 4, stars for a less intensifying coffee experience that tastes good. Tastes much better and still smooth like all EOC coffees. | A flavorful Half Caf-- see update |
A $2.89 candy bar with a $8.60 shipping and handling charge, what a joke. I love this chocolate bar but can't for the life of me see how they can charge such inflated prices :( I can get it at the local store for $2.50 a bar . Something smells in denmark and the candy is the best German chocolate there is :) | what the heck !!!!! |
The Hormel Compleats that contain sauce always contain a lot more of it than the picture on the packaging suggests. This variety is no exception. The picture is very misleading and suggests a much more solid meal than you get.The ravioli are thin and underfilled. The marinara sauce has an unusually strong flavor, one which may or may not be to your personal liking. I disliked it mostly because I found it distinctly sweet (the ingredients include sugar and high fructose corn syrup). As it also contains vinegar, the taste is reminiscent of a Chinese sweet and sour sauce.If you are looking for a convenient, very light snack with a strong and unusual taste, you might give this a try, but I would want less sugar in the sauce and more filling in the ravioli before I tried it again. | Too much sauce again |
Instead of following the recipe exactly, I used 1 1/2 cups of softened butter (instead of 1 cup of margerine), 2 eggs, and added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Mix, spoon, and bake for 12 minutes; makes about 2 dozen. I am very picky about baked goods, especially since I am only recently gluten-free, but I must admit, these are wonderful! I'll definitely be indulging in these again and again! | Great cookies (with a few tweaks) |
This is DELICIOUS. For those who love spicy foods, this is a great soup base. I'm pretty sure it's not healthy at all but whatever. I have a split pot so I use this and the plain version for hot potting (half on each side. We always keep the soup for the day after so we can make noodles. It's just that good.TIPS:Don't add all of the dry hot peppers at once. Add a couple, wait 5 min, taste the soup, add if you need more. I made the mistake of adding everything the first time around and regretted it.For the oil, don't use it all at once. Pour some then add as you go because it'll grab onto the food and disappear from the pot as you go. | Love the product, not the price |
We have been eating this rice for past 8 years and the rice has absolute consistent quality and texure every time we make it. We have been buying this from an ethnic store but now Amazon has the rice at even a better price. Would recommend soaking the rice for 30 min or so for best results.This rice is grown in the foothills of Himalayas and is enriched with minerals and natural Aroma. We have cooked many dishes including some Tea Rice and they are to die for. We would highly recommend this brand of Rice for your entire family. | Finest Basmati Rice |
Ordered this product, and though I was led to believe (see photo) that this was a Joyner, salt-cured Smithfield slab bacon, it was not. The product delivered was Olde World Cure, and nothing like authentic Smithfield bacon. In fact, I could have purchased this taste for far less money at my local supermarket, where the other tasteless pork products reside. | Not genuine or Joyner |
My dog absolutely loves her mini twist pork chomps. They are the ultimate treat. I can only find these on Amazon.com or the Pork Chomps website, and with free shipping they are less expensive to purchase on Amazon.com. I wish these came in a larger quantity bag. | Pork Chomps are the BEST |
If you're like me, you sometimes use your wish list to keep track of items that you've researched and want to buy at some point in the future - not necessarily something you want or expect someone to buy for you. I recently did this for Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul, an excellent food - for dogs. Dear wife saw this on my list and immediately assumed it was a book! When it was delivered in a big, heavy box, her comment was "Umm, I don't think this is what you wanted, is it?" Well, it is, but NOT for Christmas! Anyway, we both had a good laugh about it, its money well spent, and the dog loves it. It is a "real" premium dog food and an excellent value, so don't forget to BUY IT - for your dog - before you take it off your wish list! Now honey, about that Lexus I put on my list.... :=O | Unless you're a dog, take this OFF your Wish List! |
I started drinking one 12 ounce can of Celsius 15 minutes prior to weight and cardio workouts, and have found Celsius brand to be far superior to Monster in the energy boost it gives me. Each 12 ounce can has 200mg of caffeine (check out the Celsius website...) so I don't drink any coffee on the mornings I'm off to the gym as when I do drink both, I tend to get jittery instead of 'boosted'.Celsius' fat burning claims come from the thermogenesis angle. Meaning it will keep your metabolism fired up for a longer period of time (up to 3 hours post-workout) and thus you can potentially burn up to 100 extra calories. It has ginger, chromium and green tea - all favored for their 'fat burning' properties, along with high vitamin C and B vitamins. No sugar, no carbs, no preservatives, no high fructose corn syrup, no trans fats and very low sodium (6mg) make this a good energy drink choice in my book. THIS flavor however, makes me want to gag!Orange flavor is a 'sparkling' version of Celsius. Slightly carbonated, it could taste like a soda - Fresca would be the closest thing to it in my mind - but for me it simply tastes bitter and tough to swallow. I do generally like orange flavored drinks, so this surprised me. I also found I had an upset stomach after drinking it.I do like two of the non-sparkling Celsius drinks and would recommend you try a few flavors before buying a case of them. My favorite so far is Celsius®, Raspberry Acai, 12 Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) and if I can't find that one, I'll drink Celsius®, Peach Mango, 12 Ounce Cans (Pack of 24). Neither tastes bitter to me, nor overly sweet. There is no aftertaste and my stomach tolerated them well.One thing to note when using this supplement, it does seem to act as a diuretic. I have to urinate a lot for several hours after drinking just one. They say on the website that you can drink up to 3 a day (that's 600mg of caffeine a day...) and do not recommend this drink to anyone who is 12 or under, or caffeine intolerant.Check out their website for studies relating to fat loss and this product. | Celsius "YES", but Orange Flavor is a "NO" for me |
I can't beleive what some manufacturers will go through just to get you to buy their product. I do not care what flavor these are or what you pour, cook, or smear on these MY DOGS KNOW THEY ARE UN-NATURAL! They will not get near them even if they were starving they would not eat them. I wasted my money in the hopes that maybe the unflavored supposedly all natural white ones just needing spicing up a bit. I was wrong! The dogs know what they are and will never let me forget it. | Smoked? What Next? Steamed W/ Cat Flavor? |
Elevages Perigord is a company that promotes cruelty towards defenseless animals. They torture and inhumanly treat animals. Please do your research about them if you are thinking of buying any of their products.Amazon, I will not shop your site until products from this company are discontinued. | Cruelty towards animals! |
Hero really knows how to make jam. This is my personal favorite. It's smooth, yet has delectable, slightly chewy, pieces of black cherry. The flavor is an intense black cherry experience. I love it on toast, or on scones or as a topping on vanilla ice milk. Yum! | THE JAM OF MY DREAMS |
this is my daily tea. it's not bitter at all if you use water that is just steaming no need to boil. tastier than green tea and just as good for you. | my favority tea |
The previous reviewer is totally on point. Watery, not cheesy, very hot.So, the only thing they got right was the "hot." Flavor is horrible, texture is nasty ( not cheesy yumnmy).Skip it, and you won't regret wasting your money the way I did. These went in the trash.Mir | Simply awful...I threw this away after sampling |
I was looking for some simple meals to put into my emergency pack. I like these because it needs no refrigeration, it's light, and it's easy to eat right out of the box. The kids and I opened a box and I was surprised as it was quiet tasty. You'd think in an emergency you'd be willing to eat anything, but it's nice to know that we have something that we'll actually like. I especially liked the dried pineapple. I'm not sure how filling it will be as an actual meal because we split it up, but I was satisfied with it as a snack.I subscribed for every 6 months. It looks like it expires end of October so that's right about when I'll be getting my next shipment. I'm excited to take these babies camping. No prep, easy cleanup, tasty snack on the go. | GoPicnic Turkey Pepperoni and Cheese |
Not very flavorful. Bought after getting high reviews here on Amazon and Kohls. Purchased in store from Kohls and was disappointed in the lack of flavor in this coffee. Not much chocolate flavor at all to be tasted after brewed. | Not very flavorful |
My dogs like these treats well enough. At least when there isn't (parchment?) paper stuck to the back of them. And at least a third of the treats had this problem.I'd feed them to the dogs and they'd take a bite and if it had paper they'd spit it back out. Some treat.I could peel the paper off some of the treats. If I couldn't peel it off I tried to cut off and the treat would crumble into dust.Not a fan. | They're ok if you like peeling paper off the treats |
I was so suprized to see on the front of the box "Artificial Flavor." It also had Artificial flavor in the ingredients too. I couldn't believe such desceptive marketing. You think healthy good earth etc. I have been drinking this tea since the early 1980's. I had my first taste in the Good Earth Restaurant. Loved the ice tea version. I haven't had it for awhile and was excited to see it, got some and what a disappointment. A weird long after taste I never had before and a buzzy head. I sometimes will have reactions to chemicals or artifical ingredients. Unfortunately I won't be able to have anymore of this tea. Most likely others won't have the same reaction but who wants something with such deceptive marketing? I'll stick with other natural teas! | Not the good ole Good Earth Tea |
I was dismayed to find the "King Size" Snickers bars are now two small pieces with an anemic layer of chocolate, and half the flavor of the former King Size Snickers bar. Always bought the king size; the chocolate was thicker and the whole thing just had more flavor, because it was loaded with peanuts and caramel. Really felt like you got your money's worth, which is becoming increasingly rare. Unfortunately, it appears Snickers has jumped on the bandwagon of charging more for less, and now is trying to pass off an inferior item as a "king size" candy bar, hoping the customers will play along. Another terrific product bites the dust. | Another Product Ruined by Improvement |
Torani sugar free almond syrup is my favorite and has been for years. Recently, the store where I used to purchase it told me that they are unable to carry it in the future. Much to my delight as a frequent Amazon customer, it was available online at a comparable price, but not as an Amazon product. OMG. I ordered a case and was shocked at the shipping cost!!!!!! I tried to cancel the order but the company said it had shipped, although I had immediately emailed and they were closed (Sunday).I will never order again from the company just because of this shipping cost experience. Although the almond flavor is still my favorite, I will switch to a different one. | Love it but shipping way too high!!!! |
I picked this up on a whim. My thought was to uses a very small amount as a sort of snack for my dog before bed.I do this with my cats, too. I give them each a very small amount of a dry cat food that is low on the nutrition scale,but high on the cat junk food scale. I had been giving my dog an oatmeal biscuit or two each night. When I saw thisI thought I would try it and give him the same sort of treat as I do the cats.First of all, he loves it. He practically kisses my feet when I give it to him. It has an odd texture, in my opinion. Sortof similar to a handful of raisins, not quite dry but? And Duncan gobbles it up and clearly wishes for more. I have afairly spoiled dog. Due to health issues, I cook for him every week. He eats cooked fish, beef or chicken with rice or pastapeas, and some supplements. So if I ever do give him dog food in any quantity at all, it is a very high quality, not so yummyas this ( apparently) dog food. So I am very concerned with what is in the food he is given. I see no problem with a tablespoonor two a night for my 70lb dog, but I would not feed this as his sole diet. The nutrition value is very low, which is usually theway it is with the food dogs like best.So, I really wanted to give this a higher rating since he likes it so much, but since I am writing this for dog people who aresurely interested in keeping their dogs healthy as well as happy, I had to go with two stars. Now, as a treat, or an occasionalmeal, I see no problem with this. Dogs enjoy junk food, too. | Struggled with this rating because my dog loves it. |
This has been my regular workout drink after any cardio workout. I take a sip of this drink every 10 mins and keeps my body going without any dehydration and tiredness.How to use: Note that this is a concentrate, Squeeze 2-3 'squeezes' into a bottle/glass of water and enjoy. Best with a couple of cubes of iceCompared to Gatorade : * Gatorade contains BVO (brominated vegitable oils) which is banned in many countries for causing cancer * Plus Gatorade does not have the vitamins & minerals like this one does. * Easier to store and mix with readily available waterTaste: think of it a mix of orange and raspberry juices, I loved it, my wife hates it.What is not good: Opening the inner sealing is very difficult, I found myself driving in car on a hot texas summer day and when I wanted to use it, after struggling to pull the seal with my hands, I ended up using a utility knife to pierce through the seal Artifical sweetener - sucralose is relatively safe, but it is best if avoided | Very refreshing as a workout drink .... Instant energy |
Like many others here, I was looking to replace the now-defunct Senseo pods. These don't do it. The coffee is pretty terrible, lots of packaging waste and one pod doesn't fit in the single pod senseo holder. You can use the two pod holder but the coffee isn't strong enough, even if you use the one cup brew button. Not working for us! | Not a replacement for Senseo |
This is the best gluten free "white bread" that I have ever had. It is a little expensive, but it is worth every penny. Also check out the Bob's Red Mill Hearty Whole Grain bread mix and Chebe line of products if you can't have any gluten. | Best gluten free white bread |
I have a Keurig coffeemaker on recommendation of friends and I love it. I also like coffee with caffeine, I find that "Jet Fuel" is not just hype but a real blast to wake me up in the morning. If you need a "jolt" in the morning this is it!!!!!!!!!! | If you like wimpy coffee don't get this! |
I bought this wanting something comparable to the Curdelious brand I bought in Lancaster County, PA or the Tiptree brand found here on Amazon. Based on the previous review, I thought it would be something worthwhile to try this brand too. After one taste, I have thrown out the bottle and plan to donate the remaining 2 sold in this multi-pack to charity. It has no flavor at all. Not worth the price. Save your money and go with the Tiptree brand. | No lemon flavor at all. |
These are delicious, nicely packed, best I know. Gotta mention at the same time that their wild salmon with veg was like old canned tuna, very tough, and really inedible. Of course this could have been a bad batch, and I could have sent it back for a replacement, but who has time? | Their prunes are great, but their wild salmon with veg is terrible! |
They have no filter in them, it's like instant coffee grounds every time thick mess in the bottom of my cup! Not a good deal at all! I will stick with brand name kcups from now on! Big waste of money I would rather pay $10 more and get great coffee! I will be throwing these away, for sure! Do not buy from this company. | Worst kcups ever! |
Excellent value. Considerly less costly than purchasing the item in a grocery store. If you eat or cook with a lot of anchovies this is definitely the way to buy. | Crown Prince Anchovies |
I love Celsius. Granted, I've failed to continue any workout regiment for over 2 years now and I've barely put on weight. I don't have a fast metabolism. At all. But for me, Celsius is kinda like my safety net. I worry about what I put in my body, about the lack of exercise I do. And this takes away the guilt feeling for a little while.But. I haven't been receiving what I've paid for. I've recently been receiving 2 Sparkling Cola, 3 Raspberry Acai Green Tea, 3 Sparkling Orange, 2 Orange, 2 Sparkling Wild Berry. Where is my favorite Peach Mango Green Tea? Or Strawberry Kiwi, Iced Lemon Tea, Apple Orchard Blend? I've recently been getting 2 Iced Lemon tea but I didn't get any this time! I prefer the non-carbonated ones more but I'm not even getting those.It should list what you're getting instead of false information. The product itself is fantastic. But I'm not getting what I paid for. | I love Celsius but... |
I cannot recommend this highly enough...I think this product has given my old boy a needed boost.....he is a twelve year old Black Lab with the usual hip problems. After a few days he perked up and is moving around MUCH better.....this has been a lot more effective than powdered glucosamine....made a real difference! | More time with my old boy |
Ok, so I've had some of the other flavors from these PowerBars before. And I liked them. But then I tried this lemon flavor and blech. It just did not work for me.The flavor actually was somewhat reminiscent of a lemon cleaner. It just didn't taste like natural lemons at all and the gooey center was even worse. It was sickly sweet to go along with the fake lemon flavor and I just couldn't enjoy them. I managed to eat them all in one quick succession, but I didn't enjoy it. I guess one good point was that it was kind of lemon zesty, so if you like that type of lemon flavor this may work for you. But I like my lemons to be somewhat sour, with just a hint of sweet, kind of like a good lemonade.The ingredients in these chews aren't too bad. They're designed to give energy, so there's quite a bit of sugar and glucose in them. The flavoring and colorings are natural and even though I kept commenting on a fake lemon flavor, it is actually real. So who knows what happened there. There are 190 calories in this packet of gummies. Which is a lot. And the sugar content is 35 grams, which is also quite a bit. This is designed to go with a fitness regimen, and not for just snacking on like you would a fruit roll-up. Granted I haven't been using it for it's intended purpose, but I thought it might give me a little extra energy. Which at this time I'm on the fence about, because I'm still awake, but I certainly don't feel like skipping around. So maybe it's just enough energy to keep me going through the day.Not my favorite flavor. I'd go back to another flavor of these, but certainly not this one.Review by M.

a classic- the king of ketchups, period. love the new caps, easy to dispense and keep tip clean after using, and easy to store upside-down. | great, classic product |
I am always looking for Thank you Gifts for those who support me because of my limitations...This item goes a long way and it is resonably priced. Have rave reviews for the gift!!! | Perfect Thank You Gift |
I've been drinking iced tea daily for 45 years, and this is the best tasting, easiest method I have ever found. I like strong tea, and I like lots of ice. This tea will brew strong, and since's it's cold already, the ice does not dilute it too much. It has a good, clean, slight mineral taste, and I love it! | Love the taste! Love the ease! |
This oil is so delicious it makes everything I put it on taste better. Steamed vegetables, salad, sprouted wheat toast, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, sliced tomatoes and fresh cheese..I even carry a small bottle of this oil in my purse to use in restaurants - it is that good! | Who knew that olive oil could be so good?! |
I had high hopes for this as I really like dragonwell tea. Sadly, this did not live up to my expectations. Perhaps it was old (purchaced as part of Amazon's grocery clearance)and had lost its flavor, as the cup it makes is drinkable, but bland and uninteresting, but all three Tao of Tea products I purchaced disappointed me. If you keep your expectations low, it's an OK tea. | Disappointing (rating should be three stars, not two) |
I received this item and although in the same packaging, the contents do not look the same as what I buy at the stores. I expected this item to be clear and crystalline in appearance. What I received was tan and crushed and I am afraid it may be old and spoiled. Amazon does not refer the buyer to online customer service so guess I will have to call. Not that they can help me as they won't know if the product is bad or not. This may have to be returned. What a hassle... | May be spoiled product... |
These are a healthier version of Craisins, and to my mind much better tasting. They are super moist and slightly less sweet. Eden adds no refined sugar; instead, these cranberries are sweetened with organic apple juice concentrate. (Don't allow yourself to think that they are "sugar-free," however. The juice concentrate is still a strong source of natural sugars, which for a 1/3 cup serving of cranberries total 25 grams.) All that being said, if you are looking for a healthier, moist, good-tasting dried cranberry (and organic, to boot,) this is it. | The healthier ones |
The only reason I bought this was because I could buy it with a special 50% discount, therefore getting 6 boxes of it at half price of $ 20.80 seemed to be a good deal to me. How wrong I was! I was surprised to see its price jumped up to $ 22.15 when I wrote this review (cheaper when buy it via subscribe and save) which comes to about $ 3.69 a box, still cheaper than its price of $ 3.99 (plus sales tax) in my local Target. However, the problem was when I opened its BIG box up, there were only five tiny packages: a small pack of hummus dip, a small pack of multi-seed crackers, a small pack (0.75 oz) of fruit and nut mix, a small pack of Dry Roasted Edamame and a very tiny (0.43 oz) roast dark 60% cacao organic dark chocolate. Unless you eat like a bird, there is no way this box can serve as anything but a snack, a very small one.(1) Hummus dip and multi-seed crackers - there is 13 gram of fat (3 gram saturated fat) in the hummus dip, however the biggest problem is its large content of salt (450 gm sodium). It tasted so salty (bitter) that it completely ruined the taste of the hummus. If you eat this dip everyday, you would have high blood pressure for sure. Now the crackers are quite good but there are really only a few of them.(2)Baja Blend fruit nut mix - I was surprised to see it has 5 gm of fat and 9 gm of sugar in such a tiny bag (0.75 oz or 21 gm). It tastes quite sweet, a little bit tart and wow, spicy HOT! It burned my tongue. A very strange mix, not too bad but very unusual and I am not sure I want to repeat the experience. I could not figure out where the hot spice comes from even after I read its package repeatedly.(3) Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame - quite healthy, only 150 gm of sodium and 4 gm fat (0.5 gm saturated). It tasted pretty good but no different than any roasted edamame you can buy yourself. It would be much cheaper.(4)Chocolate - yes, its is supposed to be organic, but strange enough it will not tell you how much sugar or fat it has. The chocolate piece's outside is also whitish, to me that may be a sign of the chocolate becomes too old or? How does it taste? It taste like anything but chocolate. I do not believe I can eat more than a bite of it.Therefore, not trying to bad mouth this product, but why would I want to pay about $ 3.69 to pay for a box of something that is not healthy, not filling, not tasting good unless, well, you want to lose weight. I believe if you would eat it as your meals everyday, you will be almost guaranteed to lose weight because you would simply discard the whole box before you can finish them and will still feel hungry. | Unhealthy, unfilling and expensive! |
I was first introduced to this product in New Orleans. When I cam home to Los Angeles, I couldn't find it in the stores and was so happy to find it. The product was reasonable, came quickly and it totally yummy. It also does the trick for me with heartburn and alleviates a scratchy throat. | Ginger Candy wow from amazon |
If you have a smart or highly persistent dog that will chew bits off almost any toy except a Kong, skip this. I would have, but it was a gift.The first time I left this toy in the crate with my smart, 6 month old blue heeler mix puppy, I came home to find she had somehow managed to unscrew it and eaten all the treats. The second time she played with it all over the house, and the noise drove me crazy. Bang, boom, bang. She kept rolling it down the stairs, off a ledge, and knocking things over when it rolled behind them. But she was thoroughly entertained, so I let it be. The third time she played with it while I was cooking. A few minutes later, I looked down to see she had unscrewed it again, and was chewing on the various pieces happily. I didn't stop her since the brochure said it was virtually indestructible material. When I picked it up a bit later, her chewing had apparently ruined the threading so I could no longer screw the lid back on. Went right into the trash.Entertaining, but not durable at all. | Lasted exactly 3 uses |
I wasn't quite sure what to expect with the "Newtons" name on the box, but these definitely aren't "fig newton" style cake cookies with gooey filling. Rather, these fruit thins are a thin but hearty oat cookie with a semi-crisp quality, embedded with chewy, flavorful bits of cranberry and citrus.I found them to be very tasty, and a great match with my (all-important) morning coffee. Because the cookies are thin, they'd also make for a nice presentation when having guests. Although personally, I think I'll just hog my box (grin). | Crispy Chewy Fruity Oaty - And That's A GOOD Thing! |
Item description does not match product received -- certainly not a medium. All four packages which filled three small boxes were very small single servings and one package was pretzels -- not really a "sweet." Even though this was purchased during a discounted promotion, the price for value received was still poor. Need to pay attention to the product weight versus "medium" designation. | Less than expected |
These are very good breakfast and snacks! The only downside is they are pretty hard just cold. So pop them in the toaster and makes a world of differance! | Great alternative to Pop Tarts |
Started doing p90x and eating protein bars. Those bars taste terrible, and they look so gross when you take them out of the package. These are great brownies. They always seem to fill me up. I have been eating about one a day now whenever I am stuck in between meals and need something to keep me happy.First saw them at a smoothie shop in town, but they were close to four bucks a pop, so now I buy them from amazon. | Great for p90x |
Ok, ok, ok. I know they are a healthier snack but OMG. The taste is awful. If you order these throw the contents away and eat the box. | I bet the packaging they came in was tastier... |
In reading the three reviews written thus far, I more fully appreciate the reasons why voters of the United States elected George W. Bush to serve a second term as President of their country.We like what is familar and often lack exposure to options and the set of skills needed to guide us in developing discriminating taste. Nostalgia governs our feelings about food. When I was growing up cheese-like particles in cardboard cylinders were the only alternative to orange squares of individually wrapped processed cheese. Thus, I was content to shake the stuff on top of my bowls of Campbell's soup. Life was fine. Even better when the surface where the powdery substance fell was pizza or spaghetti. It offered an interesting textural contrast and proved a relatively inexpensive source for sodium.Then as I grew up and the world changed along with me. I met people who spoke different languages and visited and lived in their countries. I learned the difference between the processed and highly industrialized foods I grew up eating and the kinds of fresh produce I could find on a market street in France or a piazza in front of a church in Italy. After becoming comfortable inside foreign supermarkets, I explored small cheese shops, bakeries, charcuteries and butcher's stores. Back home, brave, determined souls with more vision than I began businesses, farms and urban markets that translated what is good about European artisanal foods and farms into American terms. Immigrants from around the world also enriched our culinary lives by bringing their beloved traditions here.However good a goat cheese from Vermont can be, it is not the same as a living chevre from a small region in France. Even if Kraft were interested in making that kind cheese, the size of the corporation prohibits such a process. Nor could it ever reproduce the exquisite character of Parmigiano-Reggiano. The craft of making this regional cheese from Parma has been refined over centuries by a consortium of cheese makers. It depends upon great skill. Cows eat grass and breathe different air, factors that contribute to the kind of milk they produce. That milk becomes enormous wheels that are aged for a minimum of two years, preferably three, until pale crystals form in the golden surface that cracks unevenly as a trained cheese monger thrusts a pick into a newly opened cheese. The taste is pronounced rather than sharp to the tongue, buttery, sweet yet mellow, nutty and utterly one of the best things one might ever experience in life.I urge you to take advantage of the fact that you are able to buy authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano imported from Parma, Italy these days. Look for the words "PARMIGIANO REGGIANO" perforated on the surface of the rind in black dots with a red insignia. These are signs that you are getting the real thing. It's not inexpensive, but then again, it isn't cheap either. Price is a lot less than the bill for a new flat-screen TV.Serve it in small chunks, room temperature, with ripe fresh pears or grated on top of your favorite dishes where it actually melts. Let Kraft continue to corrupt American culture and prepare our country's citizens for years of obesity, mediocrity and high dental bills. You, on the other hand, can lead a better life without the shiny little green cylinder of cheese-like processed goods. | A Different Perspective |
Don't let the "Earth's Best" name fool you .. as stated in multiple reviews here - CHECK THE INGREDIENTS! No wonder so many positive reviews here have the same theme, "My kids will only eat Earth's Best!" .. Well that's because they are all SWEETENED, which is one of the worst things you can feed to your child regularly. They WILL develop a sweet tooth QUICKLY, and will start rejecting pure vegetables / other good things because of this. There is no need to inject applesauce or other sweeteners into other foods. That's just shameful, and there is only one reason for it - so the child will eat it and only want this brand.Best advice - if you must buy pre-made food, be sure the ingredients are just the main ingredient(s) and (if needed) water. That's it. Don't buy a vegetable that has "applesauce" or another silly ingredient added just to make the child love it and want that brand because it's sweetened.Shame on Earth's Best as a company. Kudos to their marketing department for creating a name whereas consumers will automatically be drawn to them because they think it's a great product based solely on the name. | Agree with the other reviewers |
Ah, the joys of peppermint tea! Not only does it taste great and sooth the stomach, but for me it is currently working to deter a squirrel from eating my porch! I researched methods of detering squirrels and peppermint was suggested. I have sprinkled my porch with it and no more nibbling beastie--at least for now. This is a great price for this much tea, especially since I will definitely continue drinking it, but I might need to reapply it to my porch after the next rain. | Ah, the joy |
This is the worst tasting fiber cereal I have ever eaten! It was so bad I would have sent it back, but I am living in the middle of the South Pacific and it would have been too costly. It tasted like unpoped popcorn kernels, gets stuck in back of throat, and has an after taste. Yuk! I feed it to the chickens. Don't waste your money on this. | Yuk...worst fiber cereal |
im a mostly a vegan. but on occasion i like to eat chilli (bean meat) but the store i was at was out so i bought the vegan hormel chilli. im not sure how to say this but when i took my first bite of it, it tasted like they dumped vinegar and cabbage with beans in a nasty taco sauce. after my 5th bite i threw it down the sink. it was horrible! and to assure you it wasn't a bad can i decided to try it again a few years later it tasted the same. im sure there's better vegetarian chilli out there but i say if you want vegan cilli, make it yourself. BLAH!!! XP Now if you excuse me i need to get some mouth wash. lol | not worth eating... |
I love these unsalted, roasted soynuts. Melissa makes the best. I'm giving them a bad rating because out of the 12 packages I purchased, 6 were not sealed correctly at the bottom. Like not enough pressure was exerted by the factory machine. Also, some were trimmed too close to the seam. When I opened the shipping box, loose soynuts were everywhere. What a mess! I am wondering if these packages are seconds that were singled out at the factory as not deliverable to retail grocery stores.I have trouble getting these at the local grocery store because they keep running out of stock! I almost send them back to Amazon, but too much hassle. Won't buy them again from Amazon! | Are these Seconds? |
These are quite crunchy- but i think a pretzel should be. I love these b/c they're not oily or greasy and have a lighter salty taste. The ingredients are great (nothing refined or yucky). They don't taste like the pasty refined flour pretzels but have the whole grain and seed taste. | Best gluten free pretzel |
Maybe you have to have a taste for these cookies. I bought them and hated them. The Chocolate Chip/Walnut and the Oatmeal Raisin were delectable but the Trail Mix was not. I love these brand of cookies but the Trail Mix is not my cup of tea. | Uncle Eddie's Trail Mix is Terrible |
Yes, I know it is chemicals that create the grape flavoring but this smelled like cheap grape bathroom cleanser and had a lot of oiliness that doesn't work well in my lollipops. | Reeks of chemicals.... |
I ordered this for my daughter's birthday party. I sprinkled it on her cupcakes and topped with a fresh strawberry. It was very pretty. The kids loved the cupcakes. Very good turnout. | Cute Cake Decoration |
I purchased a Bear Naked chocolate / peanut butter granola cereal first part of last year 2009. The PeanutButter recall came out. I asked the Bear Naked company if this cereal was involved in the recall. They said noit was not. I still did not open the cereal. Then 3 weeks later I actually found it on the recall list. Then theylisted it on their site. I inquired again and asked for a refund. Sent several emails and received no response.They do not back their own products. They were apparently using crappy peanuts in there own cereal and did not even know the source of the peanuts. Can't trust them on any of there items. I never got a refund. This company cannot be trusted. Stay away. | Company ingredients not worthy |
This product contains Trans Fat (e.g. hydrogenated palm kernel oil), a lot of Saturated Fat, and added sugar (e.g. Sugar, Corn syrup, and Maltodextrin). My wife bought me a package of these because I love cherries; however, I will not buy them again because of the preservatives, fat, and sweeteners added to an otherwise healthy product. This is far from a healthy product. The taste was not bad, but it did taste as these were sitting on a shelf for a while (they had a 'musty' taste), even though the expiration was almost a year away (May 24, 2011). I will probably end up buying a de-pitting food processor and just buy cherries from a 'pick you own' farm next year and make my own because I refuse to keep subjecting myself to bad products. I will also look at Sunmaid raisens that my son eats more closely now after this company unethically puts preservatives in their products to extend shelf life. | Contains trans fat, sugar, and saturated fat |
Great tasting grahams! Can't say much more. The texture is a bit different, as these are a whole grain snack, but the flavor couldn't be better! After a long bie ride, I found myself out of my favorite energy bars. These were the perfect substitute! | Yum! Great Taste, great for energy! |
This is an incredibly good cereal. I've never had currants before and was a bit suspicious, but they are seriously the bomb.I just make sure that I only get 1 currant per spoonful because they can be a little bit strong, but I'm a bit OCD anyways so you may not mind.Another thing I love about it is the flakes. They are thick unlike most crappy cereals so they aren't all soggy by the time you take your last bite(which is a sad moment).I found it at Grocery Outlet which was super cheap but I don't think they have it there anymore... I'm hesitant to pay $5 for a box of cereal but this one is totally worth it. | Best Cereal Ever |
Was not happy with the flavor of the pineapple did not have much taste not sweet at all. Hoping to use it for cooking and may taste better. Will not get this again canceling my subscription. | Not very flavorful |
Is what EACH box of these costs if you buy them here. $6.33 I actually bought these and my son was out within a week. I was hoping for a bit more but the packs are tiny. There is nothing wrong with the quality and the flavor of the snacks but I am basically rating the price. This is the price you'd expect to pay if you got them at a vending machine at a hospital or some luxury trip where they are hard to find. If you can make it to the supermarket however, get them there; this is not worth it! | Six dollars and thirty-tree cents... |
So I've been toying with the idea of using Amazons "Subscribe & Save" feature for our mayo for some weeks now. I'm a Ga. Low Country G.R.I.T.S who grew up on Dukes. No other mayo surpasses it in flavor, taste, or quality. I was nervous though. I mean mayo through the mail, really. What if it gets hot or the experation date is past? So I continued to purchase it in store until two weeks ago. I walk in the store and find out that the price was $4.99 for a 32 oz. jar. I think in my head about Amazons price for 4 jars and that I could set it on a three month cycle. So I did it and I am so glad I did. The mayo came to me fresher than in the store. It doesn't expire till well into next year. My ony complaint is it gets sloshed a bit in shipping. The jars wheren't upright in the box. Do the subscribe and save yourself a bit of cash. | In Store Sticker Shock |
Thought I was ordering Light roast of these K-cups. When I received the box, it said light roast on box. When I opened it, it was all Extra Bold French Roast....bleh!! Too much trouble to return so I sent it w/ my husband to his office and bought some K-cups at the store. | Not at all what I ordered |
YUCK. The worst! Do not purchase. I saw these noodles on a segment of The View and one of the ladies commented that they smelled fishy and it was quickly passed over by the guest chef who offered rinsing them as a solution.I was looking for a low-calorie pasta-like alternative and was quite excited about this product and ordered 4 packages:1.- The come suspended in a liquid2.- exceptionally fishy smelling3.- placed them in a colander and rinsed and rinsed and rinsed to get the smell out4.- they are a gelatinous, disgusting glop os worm-like noodles (if you dare to call them noodles)Even under sauce, they are heavily robbery and gelatinous. I thought that I would give them a second try and put the dish in the fridge. NO, they are still horrible and I am not a picky eater.I threw them and the other 3 packages in the garbage. What a waste. | Do Not Purchase |
Can I give 0 stars? This new recipe is so bad that I thought the package expired. It was not until I see it says "New Recipe" Who approves this crap? It is terrible.. I had been eating this since I was a kid (in my 30s now) and no way will I ever eat it again. | I would rather eat dog food than this new recipe.. |
So, I bought this hoping it would make the milk chocolately. It doesn't. Nor does the chocolate taste very much like chocolate. However, it is one of the tastiest cereals I have ever had. I can't figure out what makes it so yummy, but it definitely is delicious. | Delicious, but not very chocolatey |
worst ready to eat indian food I ever got...it's packaged as Hyderabad Biryani..wish these guys know what a Hyderabad Biryani is all about..plain bad taste and waste of money..I have opened 1 packet..tried and put it in trash..trying to return remaining five if shipping works out for me. | worst ready to eat indian food I ever got |
I injected a 13 lb turkey after an overnight refrigerated brine. I fried the bird and let it set for about 20 minutes. all I can say is that it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Tender Juicy and the most flavorful, I used the roasted garlic and herb flavor. Sensational and we ate every bite of that succulent bird. The family gave me all the bragging rights. | Tasty and juicy |
If you're really gung ho on feeding this to your cat, you might want to pull up a litter box while they eat. Otherwise you could find yourself cleaning diarrhea out of your living room rug.I originally bought three cans of Merrick cat food. The first smelled spoiled and neither of my cats would eat it. The second was fine, though they didn't like the chunks and would just lick up the gravy. And the third one made one of them (and then me!) sick.One for three is an awful average, and I won't be buying this brand again. I'll stick with Wellness and Eagle Pack instead, thanks. | Watch out for this one |
Using this product to cover wood project. Works very well.Ordered two cans - received only one - have made two requests for the other - both have gone unanswered. | Good Product - Not so Good Vendor |
I've been getting these for years, but the last few bags since December 2011 and especially the most recent bag in March 2012 since being fulfilled by Amazon have been getting less smokey and more salty. This month's bag was barely smokey at all and super salty. I have no idea why.These used to be shipped direct from Choo Choo R Snacks, and always got delivered in 3 days, and they also included a free sample of another beef snack product. Now that they are being shipped by Amazon, they cost more, took 13 days to receive instead of 3, and no more free sample of another snack!Update! Wow, the same day that I wrote the review above I got a call from an owner of Choo Choo R Snacks, they are sending me some more directly, and their product consistency is very important to them. I haven't been blown away by awesome customer service like this in a very long time! My hopes are up, and I look forward to enjoying the excellent deep smokey flavor again! | Used to be super smokey, now more salty than smokey |
This coconut juice is without a doubt the BEST coconut juice I have ever tasted. It comes in a great size--17.5 ounces, it is just sweet enough to be refreshing, and I love the pulp. Aside from tasting so great, coconut juice is a great hydrator. I like it so much I am having it shipped to my home monthly. | AMY & BRIAN NATURAL COCONUT JUICE WITH PULP |
I give five stars to the Maurice Sendak story. One star for this printed edition of the book.My children had an older copy this book, so I was very familiar with the previous softcover version. I ordered this for my granddaughters, but I'm embarrassed to give it as a gift, it looks so puny. The book is about the size of a postcard and I think it's overpriced. I've learned my lesson: I will not be buying any more softcover children books, next time I'll get a used copy. | The story is great, the softcover book is disappointing |
Bought these because I needed a decent snack while at work. I went thru this whole bag in about a month and a half lol. Unsalted and delicious. Just placed my 2nd order!! | Delicious! perfect snack. |
During the cat food recalls of 2007, I became aware that the dry food I always fed my cats was not a good diet. In fact - at the time - I prided myself on feeding cats @ $8.00 a month. Luckily, this Generic was not using the Gluten that was the cause of the Recalls. After trying various tastes, my budget and cats decided on Holistic (use to be Eagle Pack Holistic) Chicken dry and Wellness Chicken Grain Free.Then, we had a problem with the Wellness Canned Cat Food Recently (it was pulled from Amazon - and now my Canned Chicken food doesn't show up in a review). I then went to the Wellpet site, and noticed mostly dry food was offered from many online retailers. THIS told me something was afoot - and I went back to the forum which helped me with cat food research. Unfortunately, many folks had gone back to fish as a main part of their cats food. However, they did bring up the rotation aspect - this means never feeding the same type of cat food concurrently, and also picking up some locally first, to make sure your cats will eat the darn thing.Locally, Chicken was the least affected of the Wellness foods, and the store I get it from, Wellness is manufactured at ANI (code begins MW). This means I could also get a food that was produced at Menu/Simmons. However, Weruva was raved about in the forums, so without knowing where it was manufactured - I gave a few cans a shot (Green Eggs & Chicken was the first flavor I read - so that is what I tried). All cats slopped that food right up with no ill effects (Siberia is a 13 yo with sensi tummy issues, and there were none with this food - even after he gulped it up).I then looked up Weruva on the Internet, and found out it was manufactured in Thailand. This first gave me pause, but they do guarantee Human Grade Food, and the food in the cans look quite edible (and no, I'm not eating it - but in an emergency ;-).Amazon has a better deal on this food than my local retailer. So my order for the cans went in (I had read some negative reviews here about the quality of the food, but with the Amazon Guarantee - how can you go wrong?) I am pleased to announce that the food received from Amazon looked and tasted (according to the cats), as good as that purchased locally. So for Weruva, Amazon has my business.With rotation, you can circumvent the cost of Weruva in a multi-cat household, AND being on a fixed income, through rotating. I've settled on four canned food varieties, and one dry food (I may also be inclined to try some Weruva Paw Licken' Chicken, but for now - I have plenty of food). The cost for multi-cat households is also offset by buying the larger canned varieties - 12.5oz to 13oz, and learning how to store them in the Refrigerator.On Amazon, I recommend the following:Weruva Green Eggs & Chicken Cat Food, 5.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)Wellness Adult Turkey Canned Cat Food (I prefer the Chicken, but until it reappears, this will do just as well).Felidae Canned Cat Food for Adult Cats and Kittens, Chicken and Rice Formula in Chicken Broth (Pack of 12 13 Ounce Cans) (Its not grain free, but I personally don't like the mix for the regular, and neither do my cats).Innova Cat and Kitten Formula Canned Cat Food (I had used it in 2007, and decided it wouldn't hurt them in a rotation. Its the only wet food that contains some fish).Holistic Select Feline Radiant Adult and Kitten Health Chicken Meal Recipe Dry Cat Food, 3-Pound Bag (I have tried to go all wet, but Baby Girl - 17, has had problems with all Grain Free, so a little dry didn't hurt her).I feed a little dry first thing in morning every day. Then 1/2 can of one flavor, remainder placed in refrig plastic lid. Then 1/2 can of another flavor, same storage. The next day, those cans are used up by adding a little hot water and nuking from 5 to 8 secs (this depends on your microwave and amount of food). The next day, we have 5.5 oz can of Weruva split between 3 cats, and 1/2 can of the last flavor. The next day we have another 5.5 oz can, and the remainder of the previous can. That is four days, fifth day we are back to the beginning.A side note, many supplement with Friskies canned in order to cut costs. I personally have yet to get over the meat by-product thing. However, if it would help your budget - Friskies Cat Food Classic Pate, Turkey & Giblets Dinner, 5.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) is THE best one to use for this purpose (no glutens).3 paws up for Weruva. | Green Eggs & Chicken, 3 Paws Up (includes a 17 yo and 7 yo picky Debutantes). Great Human Grade Cat Food Experience |
Before trying this product, I tried making a native starter, just picking up whatever yeast was flying around in the air in Austin, Texas. That worked from a functional point of view, but had no sour flavor.In the process, I got myself a nice glass jar (formerly a Clausen pickle jar) punched holes in the lid. I made sure to use wooden utensils when mixing. I went to the baby aisle of the grocery store and got a bottle of distilled water to make sure there would be no chlorine present.Everything worked as described all over the place...very active starter...somewhat slow rising...pretty good bread texture...just no sour flavor.So I purchased this product.I followed the instructions carefully, feeding every 12 hours, using a glass container, stirring with wooden chopsticks and using distilled water. It took three days to activate and another day or two to get very reliable...and at that point it was....indistinguishable from the local starter. No sour aroma or flavor whatsoever.In other words, a packet containing 1/2 tsp of ordinary flour would have worked equally well. | No Sour Taste at All |
