Stewart Freeze Dried Dog Treats, Chicken Breast, Grain Free & Gluten Free, 1.5 Ounce Resealable Tub, Single Ingredient, Made in USA, Dog Training Treats
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Freeze dried liver has a hypnotic effect on dogs. They LOVE it and will do just about anything for it, so it is a great treat to use for training. (Powdered freeze dried liver is even added to many dog medicines nowadays-- heartworm and arthritis tablets, etc.-- because it causes the dog to scarf the medicine down like a treat.)Freeze dried liver has a dry, hard, yet powdery/easy to chew consistency. It comes chopped/cubed. It is extremely lightweight due to the fact there is so little moisture in the product (thus the low weights on product labels).Even though your dog will love liver treats, you shouldn't overfeed it. The manufacturer recommends 1-2 cubes daily for small dogs, 2-3 cubes for medium dogs, and 3-4 cubes for large dogs.The largest package sizes of liver treats tend to be far more economical. I recommend buying the larger tubs, as you will save lots of money, you'll have a handy treat supply around for a longer time, and your dog will never tire of this product.There is really zero waste with this product. When you near the end of the tub you'll find some powdery bits of dried liver at the bottom. Your dogs will go CRAZY if you sprinkle this dust over their dog food-- it's a wonderful reward that is easy to use.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Here's the nutritional analysis:-100% freeze dried liver-NO additives or preservatives.-Crude protein..... not less than 50%-Crude fat..... not less than 5%-Crude fiber..... not more than 3%-Moisture..... not more than 6%

Stewart Freeze Dried Dog Treats, Chicken Breast, Grain Free & Gluten Free, 1.5 Ounce Resealable Tub, Single Ingredient, Made in USA, Dog Training Treats
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I buy a big tub of these for my dog about every 3-4 months. He loves them. I do mix them in with other treats, so he does not get a steady diet of them. They are given out as the "special" treat, being one notch above a standard, wheat-free dog cookie.While these are great treats, they are not as "hypnotic" as real meat is. And, given the price, and how inexpensive some good-quality meat is at the grocery store, if you truly want to mesmerize your dog, go with real meat. Its pretty funny that so many of us are paying $7-9 for little bags of dog treats when we could be buying real beef for about $4-5 a pound.However, most of us don't want slimy hands all day, so we use treats. I use these out when walking my dog, and carry them when we go out backpacking or on long day hikes. I like them because they are feather light, but just don't get them wet or they turn to mush. My dog's interest in them after they get wet goes down a lot.I do wish the pieces were more uniformly sized, but they aren't too hard to break apart.

Stewart Freeze Dried Dog Treats, Chicken Breast, Grain Free & Gluten Free, 1.5 Ounce Resealable Tub, Single Ingredient, Made in USA, Dog Training Treats
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Pro-Treat Freeze Dried Liver Dog Treats / B000255OIGThis is the sort of product that makes me wish I could give more than 5 stars... My puppy absolutely adores these liver treats - our dog trainer calls them "puppy heroin". With these treats, training becomes an absolute snap, since the puppy is willing to do anything for his smelly liver treat - and you will have his undivided attention during the entire training session.These liver treats come in cubes and slices about a half inch on each side. I slice them thinly three or four time lengthwise, and then again two or three time crosswise. The liver treats fracture easily, and the taste is so addicting that only the tiniest slivers are necessary to reinforce good puppy behavior. These treats are also low fat and low preservatives, so they are very healthy for your puppy and that makes them even more perfect for training. Really, once you try this treat, you will never need another!As always, purchase and shipping from Amazon was easy and painless, and the liver treats were packed carefully enough that there was no extra treat breakage - which is remarkable for dried treats.~ Ana Mardoll

Stewart Freeze Dried Dog Treats, Chicken Breast, Grain Free & Gluten Free, 1.5 Ounce Resealable Tub, Single Ingredient, Made in USA, Dog Training Treats
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. My 4 month old aussie loves these! Whenever he's fixated on something (like another dog while we're on a walk), I quickly wave it near his head to redirect his attention. It's one of the only treats that can bring his focus back onto me. The other thing that works is hot dogs, but those aren't as easy to carry around as these freeze-dried pieces. Because of the power it has over my dog, I mainly only use these treats for special training sessions when I need a high value reward (e.g., for recall training). They aren't especially smelly, but some dogs can smell them yards away. I've been followed many times at the dog park by doggies that smell the leftover powder in my jacket pocket!The downside is that when I cut it into too small of a piece, it can crumble apart. Regardless, I think that these should definitely be diced down to a smaller size if one wants to use these treats as a training tool. The tub says that only a few should be fed per day, and it is to my understanding that too much liver isn't good for the dog. I've uploaded a picture of the feeding guidelines that are printed on the side of my 21oz tub and I'll also provide them here:-------------------------------Weight........................3 Times Daily-------------------------------10-30lbs....................1 to 230-60lbs....................2 to 4over 60lbs..................4 to 6-------------------------------So, for example, for a 60lb dog, about 4 pieces can be fed up to three times each day. Some people commented that only a couple can be fed to a large dog each day, but that information appears to be inconsistent with what is suggested on the tub. From my interpretation of the above table, the recommended daily amount is actually closer to a dozen than just a couple of pieces. I hope I'm not missing something here?I've also uploaded a photo of the front of the 21oz tub showing that it is made in the USA. It has a May 2, 2014 expiration date printed on the underside of the container.Hope this helps someone!

Victor Easy Set Gopher Trap 0610 - Weather-resistant
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. OK...so I wrote my review too early. Since the initial 'capture', I have bagged a couple more of the furry garden terrorists. Unfortunately, their relatives continue to excavate in and around my garden. The problem: the trip mechanism is not sensitive enough (as I suspected and wrote in my initial post). My catch rate is less than 10%, and I usually find the unsuccessful sets filled with dirt and untripped. I just ordered 6 Macabee traps and will post a review there after a few days of using them.Initial post: "I have pocket gophers running amuck in and near my vegetable garden. Tried the smoke bombs without success. After watching a number of videos on You Tube about trapping gophers, I decided to take a whack at it. At two different sites, I found new mounds, probed for the main trench, excavated, set traps in each direction, wired the traps to a stake, and replaced the sod. 18 hours later, the first set had caught a gopher BY THE TAIL! One clunk on the head with a shovel and I was on the board! The other set, I presume, was not placed deep enough in the hole as the gopher simply pushed dirt up into my trap. The only drawback that I perceive about the product is that the bump plate requires a pretty hard 'bump' to spring the trap. But, with one gopher in the bag after the first 18 hours, I am willing to keep using!"

Victor Easy Set Gopher Trap 0610 - Weather-resistant
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Instructions for setting the Victor 0610 gopher trap can be found online, but it would have been helpful to include them with the trap, or a link to the *.pdf file. Instructions say to use 2 traps side-by-side (trigger pans facing one another), laid parallel to the ground in the gopher's horizontal tunnel, on each side of a fresh vertical gopher hole. Leave the tunnel open since the gopher will come back to fill it with soil. After several failed attempts to set the trap (my thumb on the lever was in the way), the easiest way for me was lying it on a table with the jaw end hanging off the table top. A pair of needle-nose pliers to hold the jaws open helps too. You don't need to bait the trap, but I am trying a bit of peanut butter. You also use a stake and piece of rope tied to the trap/stake to keep the gopher from dragging the trap along the tunnel. So far the gopher has sprung the trap several times, but got away. I rated it as 3, but am waiting to see if I can catch the critter. Leather gloves were also helpful. Update: After a few months we caught no gophers in the traps. Next we bought gopher repellent in the form of castor oil pellets to form a linear barrier. Finally, we were able to send the gophers away from our house for now. For us it was the pellets that worked.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I ordered the Victor 0610 Easy Set Gopher Trap after exhausting all other methods of trapping and killing a sneaky little gopher.We received the trap before the expected delivery date, so the shipping was very prompt. I was disappointed after opening the box because there were no instructions included, though. I searched for instructions online only to come up with hard to see diagrams with small print. After playing with it for several minutes I was able to figure out how to set the trap. Our crafty little gopher didn't mound up for several days after receiving the trap so we couldn't use it immediately. When the shifty little creature finally did mound up my husband cleaned out the hole to make it slightly larger, set the trap and then secured the trap so that the gopher couldn't run off with it. He decided to cover the mound with a wagon so that light wouldn't enter the hole. When I went outside to check the trap a few hours later we had trapped the guileful gopher. The gopher was still alive when we pulled it of the hole but he was quickly eliminated. This gopher had managed to destroy a large portion of my yard and evaded us for 3 months.I wish I had found the Victor 0610 Easy Set Gopher Trap before I spent more than $50 on the other methods that didn't work. I highly reccomend this product.

Ateco 1112 12-Color Food Coloring Kit (Set of 24) [Misc.]
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I am glad that Amazon has a record of my orders, because we will order this again when we run out. I use colorants for everything from frosting to soaps, and I haven spent a lot of money on colorants. I even bought several of the Wilton gels and really, really hated them, I found them messy to use and some of the gels tasted bad when you wanted a dark color, so I was looking for an alternative. This gel seems to mix with everything and even dark colors taste good. We made a rainbow cake and colored the cake batter and we did very dark colors. The day of the party, the cake tastes great - no detection of colorant bitterness, but 2-day old cake will seem to have a strange taste, maybe the color finally settling in. The colors are great, and because they are dropper bottles, you can control the amount - they are very concentrated pigments, so one drop will do wonders. If you want really dark colors, you will probably achieve it with just a few drops, but beware, it will, like other colorants, stain your countertop, fingers, tongue, skin, so plan on it and protect your counters, etc. We are used to this, but obviously, wipe spills quickly. Again, seems to be a no-taste colorant in a convenient dropper bottle with a lot of color choices, to save you mixing for the right shade.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I'll admit it. I am a food coloring novice. For my entire life, I only thought food coloring came in 4 colors. Bright red, bright yellow, bright blue and bright green. If you wanted orange, you had to mix the red and yellow. And if you accidentally added too much yellow, you had to add more red. But then you could accidentally add too much red and have to add more yellow until you have a whole bowl of orange food coloring and all you wanted was to color a little bit of frosting so you could put it on a dozen cookies.Happily, I was wrong. There aren't just 4 colors of food coloring. There are at least 12. And I bought them. Not only did I buy them, I used them and loved them. I little of this food coloring goes a long way. Long gone are the days where you end up making gallons of coloring for a dozen cookies. Gone are the days where you could never get the color just right without having to sand your table and rip out the grout of the tile on the floor because the coloring is everywhere after you tried to mix them. These are amazing times where you open up the color you want and add just the right amount of exactly the color you were looking for.This is a great product and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to color their food.

Wilton Ready To Use Decorator Icing, White
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. This product isn't that impressive as far as taste goes. Yes, it'll do what you need it to do for drop flowers, shells, rosettes, etc. But you could just as easily buy meringue powder (dried egg whites) at the supermarket and add it to a regular can of store icing or even homemade buttercream for a much better taste. If taking a Wilton coure, they try to sell you their entire catalog of products, which would explain why this is recommended for the class. It tastes like Crisco-y vanilla. I'd be embarrassed to use this on a cake or cupcakes that I am serving to people. It's really not a pleasant taste.If you do want to buy this for a Wilton course or another reason, buy it at Michaels, AC Moore, or a local baking supply store. I love Amazon--really, I do. But this is listed at nearly $9.00 here. At Michaels it's less than $4.00 (use a coupon and it's a little more than half that). At a local baking supply store, it was $3.29 plus tax. I have no clue why this is so ridiculously overpriced here, and I'm annoyed I actually could have bought two or three at Michaels for the price of ONE here.

Cigarettes & Carrot Juice - The Santa Cruz Years
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Long live Camper Van Beethoven!! This is a blessing for long time CVB fans who didn't have a chance to upgrade their collection to CD before most of this went out of print. Wow, where to begin? CVB was a band that matured on record, so to speak, so this is really a fascinating and entertaining listen from beginning to end. Of course you get the endearing and humorous debut album with goofy anthems ala "Take the Skinheads Bowling" and various folk/ska instrumentals; the increasingly warped and psychedelic "II & III"; and this collections' centerpiece: the self titled 3rd album!! Forget the editorial remark above about them "scratching their heads out loud" on this because there's nothing confused, unfocused, or tentative about this album. I'd say it's a characteristically irreverent and eclectic psych-rock masterpiece. The song writing has fully matured with the sarcastic humor still intact, and it seems to be intentionally conceived as an album that gets stranger and stranger as it goes on, with the group mastering every diverse style they apply themselves to. I could go on and on about this album, but suffice it to say it's a classic. "Camper Vantiquities", the 4th CD is a top notch odds and ends collection containing perhaps the best Camper song ever: "Seven Languages" and the Harrison/Starkey composition "Photograph." Finally, the live CD is a competent but not revelatory live set from 1990 with 2 songs from 1988. I would've prefered to hear an earlier and more chaotic live recording, but I'm sure the quality wouldn't have been as good. All in all, you can't go wrong with this. The packaging is quality: a thick , bright orange box with the 5 Cds in simple glossy slip cases, (well, the box is relatively thin but it's made of nice thick cardboard) and a full color booklet with 2 essays. One is an entertaining first-hand account of what Santa Cruz was like when Camper formed; the other is a dry and factual journalists view on the Camper "phenomenon" MUCH LIKE THIS REVIEW. I hope it was helpful. Rock on Comrades!!!

Well, maybe not "the" greatest, but one of the best. This set brings together the earlier stuff which is slightly more quirky than the two albums they did for Virgin. Some of it is even sort of challenging, but mixed in are some songs as lovable as a soft fluffy kitten with a ball of yarn like "Take the Skinheads Bowling" and "Good Guys & Bad Guys". There was this one story about them one time when they played in Philly and stayed with the Dead Milkmen for the night. It's a great story, but probably shouldn't be repeated here. When I first picked up a guitar (actually the first time I picked up a guitar after hearing the third album) I wanted to play "Good Guys & Bad Guys" but I was the only keyboard player in the band so I got stuck playing the keyboard part which is a lot more tasty after you play it a few times. We can thank our lucky stars that these guys are touring again. I was heartbroken when they broke up and Cracker always sounded a little too sanitized. This set is almost like another album coming out, except that the songs came out before. It's beautiful.

I have a 4.5 year old 70 LBS. Doberman Pinscher that absolutely loves these Dental Dinosaur Nylabones!I've gone through several over the years because she loves chewing on them and being so cheap on Amazon, they are well worth it!Even my vet recommends them and is how I found out about them.Every Christmas, I send them to a friend for his dogs and they love them too.They are not sharp when new, but after some chewing, they will get sharp so watch out when walking barefoot around or trying to play tug with the dog and the dinosaur.It doesn't matter what shape she gets, she tears right into it when she gets it!It would be neat if they made ones that were much bigger to watch them chew and carry it around as if they just took down some large animal in the wild.I'll continue to get these even though they can hurt when you step on them barefoot and the shreds get caught in the carpet because my dog and friends' dogs absolutely love them and it helps to keep their teeth clean!You should still clean their teeth by hand on a regular schedule though.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I ordered this for my 15-lb Jack Russell. We got the stegosaurus toy and so far, it's held up. She's a ferocious chewer--we can't buy her anything but Nylabone-type toys or they immediately get torn to bits. The only problem I foresee is that the stegosaurus has four legs sticking off of the body, and I know those are going to get worn down very quickly as she can fit that whole part in her mouth at once, meaning she can't play with this unless we're there to see her least she chew off a leg and choke on it. It would've been nice to be able to have seen this variety and choose which one we wanted prior to ordering. I was thinking we would get the T-Rex pictured, which only has two feet that seem to be attached to the tail. The good news is, steggie doesn't have a small projectile head or tail, but rather it curves to give the impression of head and tail, so no worries about small pieces coming off there. The toy itself I would probably give 3.5 or 4 stars, but I am only giving it an overall 3 because the ordering process is inflexible.UPDATE: I have lowered my rating to 2 stars. She has had this less than 5 months and I had to take it away from her after she managed to chew away the legs, tail, head, and half the body. I don't mind if she ingests tiny shreds of a Nylabone on occasion, but I can't imagine eating 4 ounces of plastic is doing anyone's digestive tract any favors.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. We purchased the Stegosaurus at a local pet store the day we adopted our cattle dog mix. At the time she was about 45 pounds and 8 months old. We did not know what kind of chewer she was, but felt that a product designed for "powerful" chewers up to 50 pounds would be a safe choice. It was not. She worked to remove the head and tail of the dino and while we were able to get the larger pieces from her, she swallowed several very small pieces. And much to our embarrassment, at her first vet visit (3 days after adoption) we were told to stop giving her whatever "white plastic" toy she was chewing and eating. Enough pieces had gotten into and through her system to cause the vet concern she may not pass all of them.I am giving this product 1 star because:1) It is described as a product for powerful chewers - it did not hold up2) It is rated for dogs up to 50 pounds - while on the upper end of the scale, our dog fits into that category and the product did not hold up3) the vet warned us to stop using the product as the size and shape of the pieces were potentially harmful to our dog.

I am one of those people that spoil their dogs. I have 5. lol. I hated that my chihuahuas had all these favorite toys and that my pit bull would tear them without trying. I started the search for a toy that he'd enjoy and not be able to totally destroy. He is almost 3 years old now and this is the ONLY toy that I can give him that doesn't get destroyed or choked on. He loves it. I leave it in his kennel (where he sleeps and stays while I'm at work) and you can only see one or two teeth marks on the thing. It's been in his kennel for over two months and he chews it all the time. He falls asleep chewing and is soooo cute. But yeah. Pit owners, no lie, BEST toy ever. And CHEAP compared to the other things that I've gotten him over the years. I've spent way more on dollar tree plushies that he's gone through in a matter of hours. (AND he is a big headed, big mouthed boy, but the way the dino is shaped he cannot swallow it like he has done with whole bones. I would never leave it with him if there were ANY danger so, no worries.)

My dog Cotton is an aggressive chewer she could chew her way through anything within seconds & then she's looking for something else to chew. She's a 3yr old Coton de Tulear a rare breed which are in the bichon family My dog is very hyper & has nervous energy she doesn't know what to do with, I thought getting her a chew toy would keep her busy for a while, but they didn't even last for a day. I went on line and read reviews from other's reviews on different chew toys, when I read the reviews for this dinosaur chew and read their had the same issues my dog had and their dogs were a lot bigger & weighed more then my dog is small& weighs 15 lbs. I thought this chew would be a perfect chew toy & it would last for a longer period it has lasted & she is still chewing on it after 4 months. This is going to be a second dinosaur chew I am buying for her as a backup. She loves this toy and I would recommend this for those pet owners who have dogs who are heavy aggressive chewers this will last a long time. I love it and I save money& no longer need to buy any other chew toy but this dinosaur chew.Suzan Mesquite NV

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I have a Boston Terrier, who likes to chew, but won't just chew on anything. After a bad experience with a tennis ball (that he got hold to) and his intestinal tract, I've been very selective about the toys I give him. A lot of the other pet owners that reviewed here had pets on the upper end of that 50lb scale and my Boston (at adult development) is only around 20lbs, if that. So, I thought I'd give this a try and watch out for complete destruction of the toy. Well, from day 1 when we received this he took to it immediately. I don't know if this has a flavor, but he didn't touch any of the other toys we received the same day... only this one. And, he's chewed on it every day now for about 4 months. Only recently did I begin to notice that he'd finally broken through a corner and I tossed the toy. That white plastic can kill his intestinal organs if it gets in there. So, for the price vs. the length of time it lasted and he enjoyed it without cause, it's an "ok" toy. I'm going to buy him another one, but I think the key is to stay vigilant and be sure that once your pet seems to start puncturing through this, it needs to be thrown out immediately. Since he is quite literally never alone, this is not as big an issue as it may be for other pet owners. Please keep this in mind before buying!

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I have a dog with very strong jaws. She's only thirty-five pounds but she goes through most toys like they're bubblegum. Even as a small puppy, she would destroy anything and everything. By the age of five or six months we had to give up on soft and rope toys altogether, and at a year old, she is limited to only hard chews like Kong, Nylabone, etc. Even then, she destroys most of these with relative ease. She's gone through chews others have recommended as long-lasting in literally ten minutes. The only toy she has that has lasted more than a month or so is her original red Kong, which she mostly licks instead of chews.I initially bought the dinosaur for my other, less toy-murderous dog, but the power chewer quickly stole it from him. She was in love. She carried it everywhere and chewed on it constantly. I'm not sure if it's the shape or the texture she likes, or some combination thereof, but whatever the case, it instantly became her favorite. Even the most durable hard toys normally only last a few weeks with her, but her dino is going on two or three months now. It's chewed beyond recognition, all the nubs worn down, and it's very rapidly nearing the end of its life because little bits of plastic are falling off, but it still lasted far longer than most toys do. A few weeks ago I bought her a second one, in a different shape, and she's equally as enamored with it. All in all, it's not going to be indestructible if you have a power chewer, but it certainly lasts a heck of a lot longer than most!

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I have a 15 month old puppy who is a powerful and destructive chewer. I discovered Nylabone toys a few years ago when my cocker spaniel, who was an anxious chewer, had to have intestinal surgery to remove parts of a rubber toy. When I got this puppy I gave her a stuffed animal and 5 minutes later I had to throw its remains away. She has been a Nylabone girl ever since. She loves her dinosaur; she carries it everywhere with her and even sleeps with it. It no longer has a recognizable head but she did not manage to chew off any large chunks, just little bits. The downfall is that I find a lot of little rice sized bits of dinosaur in the furniture and her blankets; the up side is I know there are no big chunks of toy ending up in her intestines.I highly recommend this and other Nylabone "for powerful chewers" type toys to anyone whose dog is a little chew crazy. I also recommend buying from Amazon because the price is about half of what it is in the pet store and the selection is much better than discount stores have. At the price for these dinosaurs I am getting ready to order a few more so that when the one we have is worn out I have another readily on hand.For reference my dog is an oversized Jack Russell Terrier (around 30lbs) and this toy is the perfect size for her.

I have a puggle who chews all of the time, and she has been through a variety of Nylabone products, all of which she absolutely loved. I am a huge fan of anything Nylabone, and when I saw this one, I immediately had to get it for her because not only did it look like something she would love, but the design promotes good dental health. She has had it for a month now, and she is constantly chewing on it. Not only has it helped to keep her teeth clean, but it is much more durable than other Nylabone toys. She chews it every day, carries it around and drops it all over the place, and it has barely worn at all. I highly recommend this toy for dogs who love to chew!I do have to share one negative to this toy though.... if your dog likes you to "tug" with them for their toys, this one isn't for you. It hurts to grab and pull on it. Not much of a negative, but I want to give a fair review, so if you are looking for a strong tug toy, go with a smooth surfaced large Nylabone and save your hands some pain :)

Shortly before Thanksgiving last year, my 7 year Staffordshire's health took a turn for the worst. His liver was inflamed, he was going in the house and could not keep food down. Actually, he had been throwing up his food for years. His dad went the same was just 2 years earlier and I couldn't bear the though of putting him down. So I was on a quest to save his life and Christmas. We took off the commercial dog food and I started cooking for him a mix of brown rice, ground meat, veggies, eggs, & oatmeal. He loved it and started to get better within a few days, slowly but surely. I also added a daily supplement of brewer yeast, wheat germ and kelp with a little milk thistle to help with the liver. He really started to put the weight back on and a tablespoon of olive oil was great for his coat. As you can imagine, this can get very time consuming but in those early days it was worth. Well I discovered Natural Life in Wal*Mart and both dogs (got another puppy last year)do very well on it. When my budget allows, I buy 2-3 bags at a time. last week we gave them the regular stuff and the loose stools came back almost immediately. I am going to grab a couple of bags tonight after work. This is the only thing I will feed my dogs from now on.

Canidae Goodness for Indoor Cats, Premium Adult Dry Cat Food with Real Whitefish, 5 lbs.
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. We fed Canidae to our two dogs for almost 5 years--they always ate it eagerly, never had stomach upset, and got raves from the vet for their muscle, weight, and coats. It *was* a 5-star food. But last summer we opened a fresh bag of kibble (same exact packaging bought from our usual store) and immediately noticed it was much lighter in color than previous bags, but we fed it anyway. Within a day our Aussie, who has a bulletproof stomach with absolutely no digestive issues, began to have horrible gas, softer stools, and really loud, liquidy gurgling noises in his abdomen. We continued to feed the entire bag, thinking that he'd adjust to it eventually because our other dog was fine. Well, our Aussie never did adjust to it; he spent a month having those symptoms, and we dreaded mealtimes because of the stench and sounds he'd create.The kibble in the next bag we bought was the old normal shade of brown, and our Aussie's stomach noises, soft stools, and awful gas went away practically overnight. But by then I was hearing and reading that Canidae had developed a new formula that was making dogs sick. The stories about people whose dogs got *far* sicker than ours, and the dodgy responses that those long-time customers got from Canidae when they called to complain about the unannounced change, made us decide it was time for a new dog food. We went with Healthwise, a premium kibble made by the same company that makes Innova, California Natural, and Evo. It's not worth it to continue to be loyal to Canidae and to risk our dogs perhaps getting as sick as many others have. Read Canidae's new formula horror stories at consumeraffairs.com.

When i first opened the box it looked perfectly fine. the expiration date was april 2012 the bag seemed fine. That is until i went to open the corner. The resealable pouring spout was already opened. The seal is supposed to be intact until it is opened for the first time. To me it looks as if someone had reused this bag. Im not entirely sure if it is even the same dog food. Someone could have just put in what ever they feel like and called it "Canidae" and charged me $55.00. The dog food looked different as well. it had the same texture but the pieces were all bigger and a darker color. I had a bag of canidae that i had from before so i compared them! I will not be feeding this to my dog. I guess lesson learned from buying on the internet. maybe my story will make you think twice. on the bright side the price was cheaper and the shipping to hawaii for me was less than a week! free shipping i may add! So buy at your own risk! My dogs health isnt worth taking a chance that it could be canidae in there! I want to be certain that it is 100 % canidae!!-Phillip

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. My husband and I switched our three dogs to Canidae earlier this year based on the many glowing recommendations that I found on the Internet. Our dogs have done very well on it until recently (we always bought the 40 pound bags for our three LARGE dogs but now it's in the 35 pound bags) when they all became ill with diarrhea. My oldest dog has had diarrhea and horrible hot spots all over his buttocks with the fur falling out and flaky dry skin for the last few weeks. After one of my dogs was sick all over the house today, my husband mentioned that he was beginning to suspect it was the Canidae -- he suspected that Canidae may have changed their formula, so I checked the Internet to see if anyone else was complaining and there are complaints all over the Internet! Apparently Canidae changed their formula without warning and many dogs who have tolerated it well in the past are suddenly becoming violently ill. My husband is picking up a bag of another brand tonight, that we have used with no problems in the past, so that we don't have to feed them any more of the Canidae. Most dog owners know NOT to change their pets food suddenly as it can cause them to become ill, but apparently Canidae did it without warning anyone or allowing them the opportunity to gradually switch their dogs over to the new formula. Apparently Canidae is blaming 'net hysteria as the reason why people are blaming their food for these dog illnesses -- but our dogs have been sick for several weeks now, way BEFORE we even suspected it was the Canidae.

After a lot of research, i decided to switch my 3-yr old Doberman from Iams to Canidae and have been very impressed with the product. Samson LOVES this stuff too, with the Iams I had to entice him to eat by mixing it with canned food/tablefood, but with the Canidae, he eagerly wolfs it down by itself. And why not? The first 4 ingredients are all meats- human-grade at that! Besides having less "filler", Canidae uses no corn products, which is good for dogs with allergies (corn is a common allergen in dogs). Some may balk at the price, but you are going to use less food per day then with the junk brands due to the high quality of indredients in this stuff. Besides, Canidae is considerably cheaper then most of the other top-shelf brands like Eagle Pack or Flint River. I'm just happy to be able to feed my dog a "super-premium" grade food knowing how much healthier this is for him, for just a few bucks more per bag then a mid-grade food like Iams or Pro Plan. When you look at it like that, I believe it's one of the best values in pet nutrition on the market today.

I work for a veterinary hospital, and after the big food scare I found myself calling around to different food companies to see who made an AMERICAN product. And by American, I didn't mean imported products thrown into a food assembled in the United States so it could be called "made here." I wanted meat grown here, veggies grown here, and no imports. FOUND IT.This dog food was recommended to me by a bloodhound breeder. Bloodhounds are known to have gunky skin (must be all the wrinkles) and they are prone to eye infections, allergies, bloat, and numerous other conditions. Well, most bloodhounds. Not her dogs. Her dogs have healthy glowing coats, shiney eyes, and just bring her lots of ribbons in the show ring.My dogs are couch potatoes, but I feel better feeding them something good for them. At first I was worried the smaller bite size might interfere with good tartar control, but now months on this food NO TARTAR. At all, and my one dog had had a tartar control problem for a long time. His doggy breath has never been better. If I could give this food 10 stars, I would. I'd recommend this food for toy breeds as well as giant breeds.It used to be when I opened a bag of food I'd keep my nose away because the dog food was stinky. Not this food, now, I'm not saying I want a mouthful, but it is NOT stinky like some dog foods. You can actually smell the herbs they use.This product is on my wish list at Amazon. Anyone who wants to get me a good gift, get me a bag. It is definately a gift I'll use!

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. After reading the book "Deadly Feasts" I was horrified to learn what kinds of items may end up in my dogs' food! I started researching different dog foods and consistently received the same brand recommendations: Innova, Canidae, Wellness, Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul...etc. I initially settled on Canidae, but also tried Wellness on a recommendation. The Wellness produced loose stools in two of my foster poodles, so I no longer use that brand. The Canidae, however, is perfect for my multi dog household, which often includes dogs ranging from puppyhood to senior status. The ingredients are phenomenal and, as all reviewers have said, the food contains no corn, wheat or soy, all common allergens in dogs. Although I also use and would recommend Innova Evo dry dog food, Canidae costs $35 for 40 pounds and Innova costs about $50 for a 28 pound bag. So, if you are budgeting a bit but would still like to give your dog the best, Canidae is great. After switching my dogs to Canidae, I noticed several things. First, my labrador retriever's coat sheen increased to the point of nearly blinding me in the sunglight; second, he lost about 10 pounds and developed greater muscle tone (although he was always fed recommended portions of commercial foods); third, my shedding dogs shed a lot less than in the past; and fourth, bad doggy breath is greatly reduced. I see no excuse not to switch your dog from a commercial food to Canidae or another super premium brand - it costs no more than a fancy bag of Iams or Science Diet, but can add quality years to your pets' lives! If you own a dog prone to allergies, such as a poodle, this food can't be beat. I had a family adopt a 5-pound malipoo from me and they emailed me to say they cannot feed him anything other than Canidae or he develops loose stools and needs to be taken out to the bathroom contantly. For your dog's sake switch their food; you can do a lot better than chain-store foods!

My dogs have been on Canidae for the past several years and even the picky dog who has lost over half her teeth loved it. However, I recently bought a new bag of Canidae. The packaging was different, but I thought that was the only thing that had changed because there was nothing on the bag indicating it was a new formula.I noticed the kibble was a lighter color than in previous bags, but still didn't think much of it. However, two out of my three dogs now consistently refuse to eat it. The only dog who will eat this new bag is the one who has been on a diet for two years and quite frankly, will eat anything.I'm very disappointed that the change in the formula was not even mentioned on the bag and that they changed a great food into one that my dogs won't eat.NOTE: I emailed Canidae to ask why the formula had changed, and why it was not mentioned on the new bags. Their response:*********Our quality of raw material as well as quality control has actually increased not decreased. Yes we have diversified our complex carbohydrates as rice continues to climb and high quality availability decreases. Our products are better than ever and more consistent. We are getting a lot of positive feedback from our customers that are actually feeding their pets our improved formulas.*********I hadn't actually said I thought their raw material decreased...just that 2 of my 3 dogs now refused to eat it. And when they say they are getting positive feedback from our customers that are *actually* feeding the new formula, are they trying to imply that I only pretended to feed the new food?!?!

I have ONLY fed my 3 dogs Canidae since 2002. Until 3 days ago we have HAD no problems at all, and I had highly recommended the food to everyone who would listen. That is NO longer the case.Recently, Canidae decided to change the formula, and without any notice being placed on the bag. Two weeks into the first, and LAST bag of Canidae I will every buy, one of my dogs began chewing his feet. Prior to 3 days ago, he had never had a "hot spot" or anything close to it.... And now I cannot get him to stop chewing his red, soaking wet paws. One expensive vet bill later, the vet said it is an "allergic reaction." Allergies??!! I do not want my dogs to be miserable with allergies!!Besides the constant chewing, not one of my dogs has had a firm stool since their first meal with the new formula. One of my dogs is prone to anal glad issues, and so it is critical that she have a firm stool.In addition to my issues, my breeder, who recommended the food to me, and who has been feeding her dogs Canidae for much longer than I, has taken her dogs off the food. Why? Her dogs became violently ill, vomiting non-stop, itching, acting lethargic. She has contacted the MANY, MANY people she knows who use Canidae, and they have all had issues, many have taken their dogs to the vet, and have all now switched to a different food... not made by Canidae.It's too bad they chose to make this change; they have lost countless loyal customers over trying to save money on rice. I can't imagine they will be in business much longer.******** UPDATED 10/2/08 : I've moved all my dogs to California Natural. My breeder has also switched her dogs to California Natural. So far everyone is doing great... after the Canidae got out of their systems.

I have been using this food for 4 years since I read raving reviews on many sites. I was looking for a reasonably priced food which was better in quality than the cheap chain crap. I didn't want to pay $2 a pound for a high quality food and Canidae was just right for my budget and quality needs. My dog loves it (but you can't really judge it on that alone as he is a lab and will eat anything) however his coat is nice, his stool is the right consistency, and he is hardly ever ill. He also NEVER EVER has gas (but he does burp from time to time but not smelly like others have mentioned.) I wasn't happy when the price increased and the quality supposedly dropped a bit but I am still happy with this food overall and have continued to use it. I am always on the lookout for high quality food at a reasonable price so if anyone knows of something high quality at around the same price point please respond to this post and let me know.On a different note, was I the only person who actually DID hear about the formula change before it was too late? When I went to purchase more food and saw that the 40lb bag was discontinued I went looking for a reason why and to make sure there weren't any other issues. Right on their website it mentioned the formula change, bag change, and the proper way to transition your dog from the old to the new food to avoid digestive issues. As I had 1 full bag of old formula left, I followed the instructions and guess what, no issues whatsoever with the transition. My dog did NOT get sick at all and has not had a single problem with this food new or old formula.

I have been a Canidae (PAWS) customer since Feb 07 (7 lg dogs). I previously fed them Purina One, switched to Blue Buffalo in Dec 06, then Canidae in Feb 07 (food scare for Blue Buffalo). I am very particular about what I give my dogs: dog of 10yrs died/cancer and had 2 knee replacements due to arthritis/joint issues. My Dogs are doing great on Canidae. I just spoke w/ Canidae less than 2 mins ago and they HAVE NOT changed their product at all. I read the review from the person that once gave this product a great review and now thinks the product has changed due to her dogs' digestive issues (or something like that). I left a msg for Canidae about 20 mins ago, and they already called me back at work to answer my questions (unlike Blue during the food scare). If you have seen a blog concerning something about Acetaminophen being in Canidae, that is false. Some lady said she had Canidae and some other foods tested by putting them in a baggie together...blah blah, any way it was a false allegation but the internet spreads rumors like wildfire. I drive 2 hrs to re-stock on Canidae. Highly recommend.

I have been researching dog food for a few years now. I am living in Japan (US Military) and I was ordering my dog food from PetCo online. I have tried Solid Gold Hund N' Flocken, DVP's Natural Balance, Costco Kirkland Super Premium, Eukanuba FP Prescription Diet, and Hills ZD Ultra Allergen Free Prescription Diet.I was able to source the Canidae and the Solid Gold foods locally for my Dal with serious allergies. Both of the foods have had better results than the super pricey prescription diets. I am sold on Candidae. I pay $[...] for the 40 LB sack, which is not that bad considering I am sourcing it locally on the Tokyo economy. The dogs love this food more than the Solid Gold, but I believe that they are both fine foods. This food looks tastier than the Solid Gold Wolf Pup that I was feeding my K9 German Shepherd, and it seems heartier that the Hund N' Flocken as well. It just looks like it must taste good. The dogs go nuts over it like a crack addiction! I am very happy that I have found a solution that is applicable to both dogs!There is something to be said of companies that go the extra mile for our man's best friend. It is just not right to feed our pets the crap that they sell in the stores. I used to think that Eukanuba was a great dog food. Thank God for the Internet!Buy this food, you will not be disappointed!

New food and or changed formula's need to be introduced to animals slowly. Very slowly. However, I was not given this option by Canidae when I ran out of the old All Stages Life Dry Dog Food and purchased a new bag of the new formula (no warning label) with none of the old to mix in. That is the problem I'm having with my four dogs, 2 of which are 12 years old. Granted, the changes may be an added benefit to their new formula but it's NOT a benefit if they don't notify their consumers that there has been quite an extensive change (19 additional items) to their recipe. Meanwhile, I've had to deal with 4 dogs who have been vomiting and have bloody diarrhea as well as vet bills for the past 17 days because of Canidae's neglectful oversight on not informing their consumers. I just found out about the NEW formula 2 days ago while researching Canidae on the web and found more disgruntled consumers. That is why I give them 1 star. The one good thing I can say about Canidae (their old formula was great by the way) is thank God this can't be compared to the recall of last year that killed thousands of pets. By the way, what WAS wrong with the old formula????

I have an otherwise healthy and active 1 year old Rottweiler. I switched her from Blue Buffalo to Canidae, as it came highly recommended by the holistic pet store I frequent (they are going to be the next to get an earful from me!!!).Shortly after, I noticed her stool became loose, which is common when you change a dog's diet (I mixed the new food with the old for a week, gradually increasing the amount of the new). I figured it would get better after a few days. In fact, it became increasingly worse to the point where spots of blood where showing up in her stool.I took her to the vet thinking at this point she must have picked up a parasite. The test came back negative. My vet thought it must have been something she ate and recommended I feed her chicken and rice for a week to even her out. I did this and the problem was solved.After a week I put her back on her regular food- Canidae- and the problem she was having before began to return, albeit gradually. We have now started to see spots of blood again. This convinced me it was not just "something she picked up," but the dog food itself.Now I have learned there is actually a CLASS ACTION SUIT against this dog food maker for the exact problem I described- in some cases people's dogs even died. I will NEVER purchase this brand again and am switching my dog immediately back to Blue Buffalo- this time no mixing!!

Ok i have been through several dog food brands (all high end holistic fancy stuff)and have been through some ruff (lol) times finding just what works perfect for my female Rhodesian Ridgeback. Now i wont bash any brands as some seem to do because some food seems to work with one pup and not another so dont be a jerk and think some food is crap because it didn't work out for your dog, be a good owner and look for things they like and react well to :-)..... now that being said i had a neurotic on edge dog with huge shedding issues and RR's don't shed. This food was like the miracle cure and after a year of my poor little girl trying different foods all she gets is complements on how great she looks from strangers as we walk the streets. if your used to high end prices this food is also a value seeing that you get 44#'s which does make a difference trust me. so as for us its a full five star no shedding, great coat, healthy mind and a value! don't be afraid try this if others arnt working out for your dog or even if you want your puppy to look even better.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I had done quite a bit of research before I chose a dog food for my dogs and this seems to be the best for the money for what I needed. I needed something that would benefit different age stages nutritionally, in bulk, for the best price. This is what I based my research on and came up with this dog food. One of my dogs, full grown and used to eating different brands of junk before I knew what I was feeding him, was not too fond of it at first but got used to it and now he eats it without any issue. My puppy loves it and will overstuff herself if I do not ration for meal times. It gives me peace of mind that they both are getting what they need and I am not going broke giving it to them. My only complaint is the horrid flatulence this dog food seems to give them. I have never experienced that with my adult dog in the 4 years he's been with me but then again he has always eaten the store brands of dog food so maybe that's the issue? Overall, I am satisfied and can live with the occasional unpleasantness for a few seconds if it means they are eating healthy. There is also a NOTICEABLE difference in their coats and health. So that's another plus. I couldn't in good conscience give it five just because the flatulence really is 'room clearing'.......S'pose that could have it's uses for unwanted guests on the bright side.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I know my review is a little out dated from its earlier posts but, I love this food for my 2 labs. I have never fed them anything else. I am giving it 4 stars due to the increase in price and decrease in size. I used to by it when it was a 40 lb bag for $38 or so. Now it is 35lb bag and $42, atleast in my neck of the woods. I know you can buy a 44lb bag, but that doesn't fit in my container.I started feeding this about 10 years ago to one of my other labs because he had cancer and I wanted to give him the best nutrition possible with out breaking the bank. He thrived on this food. He has since passed and now I have 2 more labs. My labs are 7 and 5, and I have not heard of any change in formula, nor have I ever fed anything else. I do remember a dog food recall a couple years back where dogs were getting very sick due to a contamination of sorts, but Canidae was never part of the recalled list, as far as I know. I know all about gas, I have labs, no matter what you feed them they have some sort of gas. I do not feed my dogs table scraps and use Milk Bones for treats. As far as I am concerned a little gas is fine as long as it is coming out and is not stuck inside, that is when it becomes a problem. All mammals have gas, it is a fact of life, to think you can prevent dogs from gas is crazy!I feel terrible for the dog owners that had sick pets. I hope you found an alternative that you were happy with feeding.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. We adopted a mastiff mix puppy last year, and after some research, I threw away a 90% full bag of Puppy Chow because it's just not good for dogs. We tried a mid level food (3 stars from Dog Food Reviews) and it did ok, but it was too high in protein for the giant breeds. When we decided to get a Great Dane this spring I started looking for a food that would be good for both dogs and found this. We tried it out and after the initial adjustment (necessary with any food) both seem to be doing well on it. With a giant breed and a large mutt, we go through about 90 lbs a month, so I wanted something affordable but quality and this fits the bill. In the large 44 lb bags it's usually a bit over a dollar per pound, which is comparable to the big box brands. We were able to get our Dane to a proper weight on it and keep our mutt from chubbing up too much, so I'm very impressed. I'd love to feed them Orijen or Taste of the Wild, but they are very cost prohibitive. I'm glad this one fits the bill without draining my bank account.

I used to be a fan of Canidae, but after $2k in recent vet bills and a very sick dog, I found out there is a HUGE amount of Consumer Affairs complaints about this company.After blood work, ultrasound and many other tests trying to figure out why my dog wasn't eating, was throwing up on the rare occasion he did, had pockets of gas the size of base balls (he is a small dog) and had all the symptoms of kidney and liver failure, my vet determined it might be the food. I found that hard to believe, but we couldn't find anything else wrong. If you read the complaints you will see many people have lost their dogs. They started using one of the very companies for production whose imported food killed so many animals a year or so ago.As soon as I quit feeding him this poison, he started getting better. I was one of the lucky ones since my pet did not die, but as I write this, he still has not gained all his weight back.The company is acting as if nothing is wrong. Probably on the advice of their attorneys.You don't need to take my word for it, please read up... http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/canidae.html

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I bought this food for my adult male chiweenie and two female chiweeniepom puppies. I researched for a while before finally deciding to get this particular brand. I'm glad I did get this brand. My dogs absolutely love it. Before buying canidae my puppies were on purina puppy chow and my adult was eating kibbles n bits brand. They were "healthy", but their poop smelled horrible and I knew there was much healthier food out there for them. I gave this to my adult to see if he liked it and indeed he did, I attempted to try and feed him his last bit of "junk" food he had left and he would not touch it. The only dry food he will eat is canidae and nothing else and the puppies love it too. I read all the bad reviews and chose to still buy it and hope for a good outcome and it was good. My dogs are healthier than ever, they haven't had any diarrhea, vomitting, weightloss, unhealthy weight gain, or anything that I have read on the other reviews, but my dogs also have no allerges that I know of either. Another plus is that their poop doesn't smell as bad either, I mean in still stinks but nothing like before. I started feeding them canidae on Thursday July 26, 2012 and two months later they are healthier than ever with no adverse effects and my veterinarian likes it too.

I have an 8 yr old yorkshire terrier that has had problems digesting other foods. Most of the store bought foods made him ill and he could not even tolerate Science Diet. The vet recommended Canidae, telling me that it was the only food he feds his dogs. Fortunately, there was a pet store in my neighborhood that carried the product.My dog started on Canidae when he was less than 1 yr old and the digestion problems disappeared. (I'm attributing that to the lack of corn and soy fillers, along with the addition of digestive enzymes in the food). Recently, I moved to the east coast and Canidae is not available in local pet stores. I put my pet on Iams and the digestive problems have resurfaced. Blood tests now show that he has abnormal liver levels (but not cancer). I am now giving him an antioxidant and vitamin e daily, as prescribed by his new vet. I spoke to her about Canidae, which also has vitamin E in the formula.I truly believe that the nutrients in Canidae helped keep my dog healthy and I am switching him back. Canidae is a wonderful product and my dog loves the taste.

Petsafe Liver Biscotti Dog Treats, Wheat/Egg Free Recipe, Original Bite Size, 8Oz. Bag
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. These wholesome treats are only 1 or 2 calories per biscotti "crouton." My 50 pound dog has a weight problem, and these are the only treats I can use to reward him for obedience multiple times a day.The biscotti don't crumble in my pocket on a walk, and my dog even sniffs my pockets at home to ask for another one. Even though the treats are tiny, he doesn't swallow them whole. He chews them--maybe to savor them. I also put these in his Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Dog Puzzle as a reward, and he solves his puzzle with enthusiasm. Even though my dog weighs 50 pounds, one 8 oz bag lasts about a month.My dog has no diagnosed allergies, but his gasto-esophgial system was sensitive and irregular starting from the time we rescued him. For his weight-loss, I switched his food to Blue Buffalo Longevity Dry Food for Adult Dogs, 24-Pound Bag, which has no soy, wheat, corn, by-products, or preservatives. His gastro-esophogeal system happened to improve a lot and became regular. The hypo-allergenic treats did not cost much more than the regular ones at the time I first bought them, so I figured I would be safe and buy them. My dog hasn't had any problems on these treats, but the change in food might also explain it. I'm sticking with the hypo-allergenic even though it's not eligible for free shipping.Having said that my dog likes these treats a lot, these are not his very favorite. I give him a medium-sized biscuit Nutri-Vet Breath & Tartar Spearmint & Parsley Flavored Biscuits, 19.5 Ounce Bagevery few days, and he goes absolutely crazy for it. Alas, the biscuits have too many calories for me to treat him more often. I'd say my dog would rate his biscuits 10 barks for taste, whereas he would give his biscotti a solid 7 barks.Because the biscotti treats are tasty, made with wholesome ingredients, and very low in calories, I rate them 5 stars. I consider liver biscotti a good investment in my dog's health. Every dog should have liver biscotti as his or her go-to treats.

When my vet told me my little Yorkie had stage IV luxating patellas (knees blown out), I was devastated. The vet told me to give her Glucosamine & Chondrotin. I went to the local pet chain and spent a considerable amount for the "chicken flavor" tablets. For such a large chain, tablets were the only product they carried. They are hard tablets not easily broken in half for a small (7lbs) dog. On top of that, she wouldn't have anything to do with them, took her little nose and pushed them away. I had to start crushing them and hiding them in a piece of people food. It was such an annoyance, I began a search for a different product form and found Zuke's online. They are soft, she can't wait for her Zuke's treat every day! No more crushing, I still have the tabs left and will now only use Zuke's. The product also includes beef, fruits, vegetables and more. I am so happy with this product, I will continue to use it. My little Echo has perked up, jumps, runs and one would never know she has this condition. This condition, at this stage, is correctable only by surgery; thousands of dollars which I don't have. I thank the founder of this company, Patrick in memory of his dog Zuke. They also donate to the Dog & Cat Cancer Fund. I know this is a long review, but that's just because this product really deserves kudos.As a side note, my pain management physician also recommended "Golden Aloe" daily to help with the arthritic pain that sets in with this diagnosis. So she both and is doing well. She's my best friend, I'm on disability and won't be able to afford the surgery if and when it's required so I am really relying on these products to keep her comfortable for as long as possible and she is only 3 years old.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Our 10 year old lab mix started having problemswith his hip joints. He has always been an active dog and watching him lay around and not want to interact was hard to see. Initially our vet gave us Rimadyl to get him through the acute phase, but it is a bit pricey and I know that it is hard on their stomach and kidneys. I searched the internet and read reviews for several days, each time my reasearch led me back to this product. Off I went to the local pet supply store to get this treat. When I opened the bag I thought for sure that my dog would turn his nose up at them, they smell awful....well my husband now calls these "doggie crack", our dog LOVES these treats. As soon as he sees the bag he RUNS to get his snack. Yep RUNS. Not only am I giving him something he loves but something that has helped him with mobility. I followed directions I found at a vets website to double the dose for several weeks and then give a maintenance dose of glucosamine after that....what a difference!!! Shop around as I only purchase these at the local store if I make a mistake and run out! There is quite a difference in price from stores to online. I am completely sold on this product and have now started purchasing some of their other treats and products as well!! Can't go wrong with Zukes!

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. We've been feeding our Bichon Zuke's hip action treats for years. He gets one each day after breakfast and expects it. He has had two knee operations which was one reason we looked for a treat targeted for joints, etc.I only rated a 4 because I have no idea if the Zuke's hip action really does work in terms of improved mobility. Yes, he loves the treats; yes, he walks every day; and yes, we're hoping the Zuke's is working to aid his mobility. Nevertheless, he loves the Zuke's treat and we like the fact that they're made in the USA and are natural. Just note of caution for Bichon owners with urinary stone issues; don't feed a Bichon beef products. The chicken is great.UPDATE 04/17/10I've updated my rating to a 5 because I recently took our dog to the vet who confirmed, at the age of 12 going on 13, he has no arthritis. In fact, both front and back legs have full mobility. I do attribute part of this success to his walking every day but also to Zuke's hip action treats. Digby's had a Zuke's hip action treat for years and this treat is the only joint action remedy we feed him in addition to Nupro All Natural Dog Suppplement for his other nutrients, minerals, and vitamins. While Zuke's hip action treats are not the only reason he is doing so well, I believe this treat in conjunction with exercise and the proper diet have significantly contributed to his overall well being!

I don't usually bother with reviews, but these results pretty much demanded it. Our 9-year-old shepherd mix is literally a different dog since starting to take these treats. For the past couple of years he's been acting quite old - slow, not much energy, and often would have arthritic-type pain in this shoulders & hips. He would play for a couple of minutes and then lay down, totally uninterested in continuing. You could just see in his eyes that he was tired and old. A variety of supplements hadn't done much, and we felt awful that all we could do was give him aspirin for the pain. We switched his food to one with higher glucosamine, but it didn't make much of an identifiable difference. Last month, after he'd been significantly worse with shoulder & hip pains for a few weeks, I went online to research arthritis supplements and orthopedic pet beds (the last step before deciding to put him on medication). After reading reviews on these Zukes Hip Action treats, I decided to give them a shot and bought two bags on Amazon. OH MY GOODNESS!! It's been about two or three weeks now, and I am BLOWN AWAY. He's acting like a 5-year-old! He has more energy, he's jumping again, and his eyes look so much happier! That's the best part, to see him happy & excited again. Previously, it had been years since he would run with me any longer than about twenty minutes, and by the end of the run I would be dragging him behind me... this week I took him for a run and he went with me for an HOUR! And he was still ahead of me when we finished!! We're so hopeful that he'll be able to enjoy his "golden years" without the misery of a poorly aging dog. I'm completely a believer in this product, and we'll be giving them to every dog we ever own. (Plus, you just saved me a bundle on an expensive pet bed.) ;D

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Our older dog, Broccoli, has been quietly aging. Sleeping on the couch instead of the bed, not jumping up, rarely playing...it all started so gradually we didn't really notice until he was virtually sleeping all day. His hips were so stiff when he walked, his gate stilted and he never ran anymore.A friend and I were talking about his decreased mobility a few weeks ago and she recommended we try glucosamine and chondroitin, so we purchased Zuke's Hip Action (beef.) After two weeks of feeding him a double dose, we've noticed a HUGE change. While some stiffness in his hips is still evident, he's been running around, jumping on the bed, jumping up on his back legs and playing much more often and for longer periods of time. Where he would once play for a few seconds and then lie down, he's now begging to play and run around. I can't wait to see his progress in a month. We plan to reduce the amount to the one treat a day (recommended for his size) after 6 weeks, per recommendations I've read online. We're also giving a treat to our new puppy every day to ward off any future problems and keep his joints healthy (he's a greyhound mix with really long legs, so we're concerned about the various bone/joint problems that he could be prone to.)As far as taste, both dogs LOVE these treats, more than any other we've tried in fact. We'll be giving Zuke's as a daily supplement from now on, as we're firm believers in the benefits of them. I'm so glad to see my old friend acting like a puppy again. Thank you Zuke's!

This product is amazing! We had a gift card for an out of town feed store and my husband happened to pick this up. We have an older Rott/Boarder Collie who has been having joint, arthritis trouble. The vet has given him several medications. One he won't eat unless I force it and the other makes him act "wonky". The vet says I shouldn't have a problem with either product, but I know my dog! Anyway, because of this fluke purchase, his mobility and attitude improved by "leaps and bounds" within two weeks! He no longer cries or yelps when he tries to get up and he is much more playful. Bucky, our dog, is also allergic to corn. It isn't easy to find a "treat" that doesn't have corn. This product is free of corn and other additives i.e. wheat, soy, artificial colors, flavors, added fat or by-products. The only thing I could wish for is disclosure of the caloric content. I don't know how many calories are in a treat. We use this in conjunction with a senior glucosamine /condroiton dog food. The 1lb pk that we purchased was $17 and a 45 minute trip out of town. I'm down to one treat. He takes three (huge dog) a day. I decided to see if I could get it on line. Everything I found was still expensive especially with S&H. And, then I thought maybe Amazon. Sure enough there it was. So, thanks to Amazon. But more importantly, greatful thanks to Zuke's for a miracle product. Couldn't be more happy. God gave us a great gift when he gave us all our furry friends!

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I rescued my havanese dog from a breeder who was going to put her down for a hip deformity. Turns out the hip was fine but the ball on her leg bone was broken sometime when she was a puppy. It caused her immense pain when moved in certain positions and caused her to limp. Running fast was out of the question and jumping was only for the lowest of heights. Even when she sat her left leg would be out to the side at an awkward angle. She was stuck in a catch 22. She couldn't make it stronger because it hurt and it hurt because it was so weak.We tried glucosamine supplements, but they were powdery and she seemed to not like the taste. The chicken jerky with glucosamine all seemed to be from china with an FDA advisory for liver and kidney problems.That's when I found Zukes hip action. The first time I opened the package the dog danced on her hind legs just to get a better sniff. The squares are soft and dense. They split into smaller pieces easily for training or to extend the reward time. The dog is sure to find even the smallest crumb. These treats last a long time with a small/medium sized dog like mine. The bag makes a satisfying crinkle sound the dogs listens for. I really like that they are high quality and made in America.The improvement began immediately and after a few weeks of daily treats the difference was in the use of her hind leg was amazing. More cushion and flex in her hip let her use her leg more. Now she is much more active with better behavior and lots more running and jumping. She even sits down with both legs under her. Another thing I noticed was when she would lay in her bed on her back her bad leg would be pulled in. Now both legs spread out like normal for easier tummy rubs. When she is being silly she even army crawls. I only wish we had found them sooner. If you saw this dog running around you would never know she had a hip problem in the past.

I have an 8 year old female German Shepherd. Lately I have been noticing she has a bit of a difficult time getting up and her hips always seem to be stiff.Since I don't know anything about dog vitamins, I decided to take the route of these treats. I would much rather give her something she might possibly like over giving her a pill.Thing is, she doesn't really like these very much. I usually have to try 2 or 3 times to get her to eat. Bright side is that I can get her to eat them after a little hassle.The even brighter side to these treats (and the reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3) is the fact that they do seem to be helping her stiff joints. I have only gone through one 6 oz bag of these treats and I have noticed a difference in how she stands up, walks and runs. For the first time in a while her legs don't look so stiff.P.S. you can get these treats cheaper on Linens and Things website(LNT.COM). You don't have to pay shipping. I paid 12.21 for a pound of these treats.

We've been feeding this to our Great Dane and honestly it hasn't worked out too well.Our dog is just over a year old and at her annual vet visit the vet pointed out that she was developing a yeast infection in her ear. He told me it was most likely from her food and asked what we feed her. I told him we feed her IAMS Large Breed food, and he said that it was probably the problem.He said we didn't need to treat it at the level that it was at, but that if she got to where she was shaking her ears a lot, or pawing at them, or if we noticed other symptoms, we would want to try a better diet to see if it fixed it.So, our dog's ears got worse. She was constantly shaking her ears. Her skin developed really bad dandruff. She used to be really obedient, but she became really naughty. I called the vet's office and we're switching her to a wheat-free corn-free diet now. Last week we transitioned her over and this week we have already seen a little improvement; she doesn't shake her ears much at all anymore. We'll watch and see if the dandruff and behavior problems also go away. I am hopeful that they will.Maybe some dogs can eat this and be fine--our dog LIKES eating IAMS food...but it's just really obvious that it hasn't been good for her. Until her vet told me, I had no idea that dog foods have so much bad stuff in them. Dogs are carnivores, so it makes sense that they have problems on a wheat and corn diet. The vet didn't try to sell us any particular brand of food, he just suggested trying a wheat and corn free brand for a couple months to see how it goes. We are trying Nutro Natural Choice now.Too bad. $50-60/bag dog food for a Great Dane is going to add up.

Bodum YoYo 13-Ounce Tea Infuser Set
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I've been using this cup/filter combo everyday for 2 months or so. The cup is nicely constructed and I have no problems with it.However, the filter does not perform very well if you use tea leaves that are very small. I drink PG Tips loose leaf everyday, 3 times a day. The leaves are fine and the holes at the bottom of the filter allow the tiniest tea particles to fall through. If this doesn't bother you, the system works. If you don't like tea particles at the bottom of your clear cup, it will begin to annoy you. I bought this system thinking that the few flakes at the bottom of the cup would not bother me but i have resorted to using the filter in another cup and pouring the leaf-free liquid into my drinking cup because there are many unfiltered leaves at the bottom of the cup. Imagine the entire bottom of the cup covered in the tiniest leaf particles...Also, the filter stains easily. After two months, there is a hint of yellow orange stain on the side filters.Therefore, if you use larger tea leaves, this system may work decently for you. If you drink tea like the loose leaf PG Tips that have fine leaves, I would look for an alternative. Hope this review helps people thinking about drinking PG Tips with this system.

Some sediment will fall through the bottom but i found that this usually occurs when you first put the tea in the yo yo. Solution: Hold the Yo Yo over your tea container/tin while while loading it. Then, give it a little shake so that it settles and anything that will fall out falls back into your possession for later use. Once it is all in there very little falls out. Then, when you add the water, the tea swells up a bit making it very difficult to get through the small holes.The cup is larger than i'm used to but it's a welcomed change. I'm not sure what size Big Gulp cups the below reviewer is using for his or her tea, but this one is certainly adequate. Also, i really like watching the tea brew through the clear glass. It comes with a cover that also acts as a base that you can set the Yo Yo on. This will eliminate any mess made by dripping.Cleaning the Yo Yo, for me, involves turning it upside down and give it a couple soft taps against the included cover/base. The tea usually just falls right out on command. A quick rinse in the sink and it looks brand new again.And oh, by the way, it makes a great cup of tea.

Cairo Turkish Style Coffee 12 Oz Bag
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I do not drink Turkish coffee. I find it too concentrated and bitter. But I LOVE Natasha's Cairo and Beber Turkish style coffee. Why? Because you don't have to use it to make Turkish coffee! You can put it in a regular coffeemaker and it will brew regular American coffee. Use just slightly less than you would of regular ground coffee to compensate for the finer grind.But why would you want to do that? I'll tell you. Because Natasha's Cairo and Berber taste SO MUCH BETTER than American coffee you will be amazed. Why? Two words cardamom: (Cairo) and coriander (Berber). Both these spices suck the bitterness straight out of the coffee and leave it tasting delicious without even the slightest hint of sweetness, and de minimus calories.Try it just once. You will be amazed. But be forewarned. You will also feel cheated and wonder "why oh why have I been drinking this American swill that I can only choke down with a cup of milk and a tablespoon of sugar all my life?" That's right. Black coffee doesn't have to taste bad. Try Natasha's Cairo or Berber brands and you'll find out why.BTW, Don't order the other brands because without cardamom or coriander Turkish coffee is even more bitter than American. And don't order the Najjar, even with cardamom. Its not the same quality as Natasha's own blends, maybe because Natasha's grinds theirs in Kentucky, not in Beirut.

Moyishi Organic Natural Gyokuro Tea, 4oz.
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. This tea is quite disappointing. Even brewing using the standard lower temperature hot water for gyokuro, the Adagio tea has a very sharp, bitter afternote that I don't expect, especially in one that costs as much as Adagio charges for it.I'm sure the best gyokuro doesn't leave Japan, and certainly I've tasted a few while there and brought a pack home which I put head-to-head with this. In my opinion, gyokuro isn't supposed to have a subtle flavor. The richness of proteins produced from the shaded leaves should be clearly evident on the palate and in aroma, but very mellow on the tongue. The difference that I find: Adagio gyokuro has a much thinner, less umami flavor for the same volume of tea leaves used, and it has the bitter aftertaste that is completely absent in the higher quality batch (which, in contrast, doesn't even have a bitter note if brewing at boiling water, which really shouldn't be done anyway). Dropping the water temperature or brewing time for the Adagio leaves doesn't do anything to prevent the bitter taste.Conclusion: bitter, un-rich tasting gyokuro. One star awarded above lowest rating for actually being gyokuro. Avoid.I'm going to have to find another brand of something else soon to replace what I'm running out of!

Sunflower, Chocolate Cherry

I love sunflower seeds, chocolate, and cherries, so you can imagine my delight when I found these Chocolate Cherry Sunflower Seeds available on Amazon. When the packet arrived, I tore it open and downed the entire contents into my eager mouth, expecting an explosion of chocolate-cherry-sunflowery sapidity. Instead, I got a mouthful of hard shells. I crunched through the tough, outer hulls, wondering at the inventiveness of the manufacturers who had somehow injected chocolate and cherry flavors into hard, unopened shells, but then as I macerated both hull and softer kernel into a splintery mash, found that the chocolate and cherry flavors had somehow gone missing.When my wife came home, I mentioned to her how I was ripped off by the Chocolate Cherry Sunflower Seeds which lacked both chocolate and cherry flavors and, in fact, were barely edible. My wife picked up the empty packet, looked at it for a moment, and then hit me over the head with a dining room chair. "You idiot," she said, "these seeds are for planting." She then clobbered me with an antique, oak coat tree. "I don't know why I ever married you," she continued, "you are always doing stupid, embarrassing things, and no matter how hard I hit you, you never learn." She then whacked me with the coffee table for emphasis.Maybe I had gotten a bad batch of seeds. I think I will order them again, and the next time, the manufacturers had better not forget the chocolate and cherry flavors, or someone is going to get a beating!

Welpac Panko Bread Crumbs
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Panko bread crumbs are just awesome. When used for breading they make a light yet crispy coating...The are different than traditional *american type* crumbs in the way that soft powder snow is different than heavy packed snow. The crumbs themselves are larger and irregularly shaped so as they lie on eachother they don't form a dense compressed breading but one with substance that still remains airy. Their flavor is very light and seasoning is needed but this is a plus for me as I can season to taste.I have also mixed these with traditional bread crumbs at times as these tend to be expensive for a lighter style coating but still essentially very much like all panko dishes. I tend to use a light egg wash with these as I find using just eggs to dip the meat/poulty/fish in a bit heavy for these crumbs. In general I find these far superior for coating food. These aren't the kind of bread crumbs I use for adding bulk (ie meatloaf, meatballs etc). I have been using these for a few years now an there is a huge difference between these and the others. I think if you try them you will really enjoy the light crisp crusts you can achieve...

Seller packaged this item well for shipping, but the spring roll wrappers are terrible!This is not the first time I have used rice paper spring roll wrappers, but it is my first (and last) time using this brand!A few wrappers were damaged. I expected that, and discarded them. Many had holes in them. I wasn't pleased about that. I searched through the package, and found perfect ones, placed them in a pan of water, and watched two inch long cracks appear in them. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! I threw away the first 7-8 that formed these giant cracks in the water - and eventually just gave up and put two wrappers in the water at a time (rotating one by 90 degrees - so the cracks were in different directions).Please understand - they are not splitting because I was rough with them; or because I used something sharp to pick them up; or because I overstuffed them... they are splitting in the warm water. The wrapper appears fine when it goes in, and as it softens, multiple large cracks (1/2" to over 2" long) split the wrapper. Maybe the machine that pressed the pattern into them wasn't calibrated properly? Don't know...Sure - you can use them... but you have to use two at a time. It is like making a sandwich and having to use 4 pieces of bread to hold it together. Ridiculous!

Amora Dijon Mustard
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Amora is to the French what Heinz ketchup is to Americans - a national institution and the preferred condiment of choice for everything from frites to you-name-it. I've enjoyed Amora mustard since I first tried it in Paris 30 years ago. I add it to everything: barbecue sauce, salad dressing (try a teaspoon of it in your Caesar dressing!), marinades, and by itself on lots of foods. Everyone I have ever shared it with raves about it, and now you can have it without having to go to France (or pay exorbitant shipping) to get it.Many years ago, it was available in specialty and gourmet food shops, but when the original family-owned company changed hands some years ago (they were bought out by Maille, I believe, which was then bought out by an American company), there was apparently a trademark issue that prevented them from importing it directly to the United States. Like other reviewers, I packed it home by the case when I visited France and begged friends to bring some for me when they could. A few years ago I began buying their small jars by the case (to save on shipping costs) from an outfit in NYC; recently, though, a local Northwest company began offering the larger jars, and now one can buy it on Amazon.Try a small jar if you're uncertain, or just plunge in and buy a big jar and enjoy it. And buy lots of little jars to give as gifts - any "foodie" you know will be grateful to have this! Yay, Amazon!

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Last year I purchased this product on a hunch at a local discount store(TM)at a tremendously discounted price. Now I am hooked. Works wonders on fish, but also terrific on potatoes, rice, eggs, chicken, steaks, Italian dishes and in all sorts of casseroles. It is a delightful medium grind blend of salt, black pepper, parsley, garlic, onion, lemon peel and green peppercorns. The mixture is a bit heavier on salt than I would like but I use it sparingly as it is quite potent on the other spices as well.I like to mix about a third cup of spice with a cup and a half all purpose flour in a baggie which I refrigerate for at least a few days. The spice flavors the flour which I then lightly sprinkle on fish or meats before pan grilling in a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron skillet. The result is a beautifully browned, light, crunchy, low fat, flavorable crust surrounding a wonderfully moist fillet of salmon, orange roughy, tuna, chicken or even rib eye steak.Fisherman's Wharf really kicks up homemade potato salad, scrambled eggs and homemade chicken salad. I have mixed it with mayonnaise to spread on ham, tomato and lettuce sandwiches, BLTs and leftover turkey and fresh vegetable wraps. It also makes a quick and tasty salad dressing using olive oil and apple cider or balsamic vinegar. The uses for this wonderful spice blend are limited only by your culinary imagination.

I wish I would of read the reviews before I ordered from these scammers. I ordered the Italian Parmigiano Reggiano 10 oz. The cheese was actually wrapped in a priority envelope from USPS (YUK!!!) and not wrapped like the picture shows.I paid $30.99 in shipping alone and it cost them 4.95 shipping via another priority envelope that the cheese was wrapped in to send it to me. I asked them to justify why not expedited shipping (it took 7 days from when I ordered to receive it) but they never answered my question.They used USPS shipping envelopes as wrappers. The cheese had black dots on it and was so disqusting.I wrote to their customer service but all they did was make lie excuses and not answer my questions directly and then got nasty with me. Worse customer service I ever dealt with although I don't ever remember having this type of problem before with anyone else. I order online all the time. Avoid this place unless you want to waste money. Everything about this place is disqusting including the owner Jason that responded to my emails, not answering my questions directly and beating around the bush. I hate being scammed.

What do you get for the person who already has just about everything? A nice gift basket would be nice, but finding one with just the right treats in it at a reasonable price is tiresome shopping.

When it comes to a gift... some things just gather dust or your intended receiver doesn't need another cell phone, mp3, or maybe doesn't have your taste in art, but I can always remember what a friend likes to eat. I chose Italian foods cookies and a nostalgic collection of candies from the 40s for my mother. She really enjoyed the gifts that arrived in time for the holiday. Best of all, I didn't have to haul everything down to the already overworked postal workers and keep my fingers crossed for weeks that everything would arrive in good condition. Amazon and their associates have always given me good value and quick neat shipping. The customer service that the associates have given me is the type of service that even the pickiest person cold find no fault with. I am very pleased with my Amazon shopping experience.Amazon shopping gave me a way to get a gift to my mother in The United States while I sat at my computer in Brazil.

Cafe Du Monde Beignet Mix, 28 Oz (Pack of 1)
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. On a sultry July morning, a few years before Katrina blew into town, a friend and I wandered into the frenetic, powder-sugar dusted Cafe du Monde for an early cup of coffee and the pastries we had heard so much about. We were hot, sweaty, and more than a little worn out from having hoofed all over the historic district. It would take more than a few Dunkin Donuts to revive our exausted, jaded spirits and a whole lot more than a Krispee Kream to skewer our skepticism.The pastries needed to be fresh, hot, and Paris-pretty to impress us.What we had that morning (several plates of steaming, sinfully-sweet, perfectly-powdered beignets) were tiny pillows of pastry perfection. The beignets were so good, we made several more early morning trips to Cafe du Monde during our stay in New Orleans.Once home, I experienced a serious post-perfect-beignet let-down. Krispee Kream no longer cut it.I was thrilled when I discovered I could buy Cafe du Monde's beignet mix online. I ordered several boxes, stocked up on a truck-load of powdered sugar, and anxiously waited by my mailbox. When the much-coveted beignet mix was finally delivered, I wasted no time in firing up the oil and brewing a pot of coffee.I was very pleased with the beignet mix. The directions were easy to follow (just add water) and the amount of mix in the box was generous for the price. Once properlly prepared, the beignets were just as delicious as those served at Cafe du Monde (of course, you do have that tiresome clean-up when you make them at home that you don't have when you go to the cafe in New Orleans, but all truly great things come with a price).Note: Be sure to follow the directions precisely. If you do not roll your dough out to the suggested thickness, the beignets will not puff properlly. Too thin and they will be crispy and flat. Too thick and they will not puff but will be cakey. Also, make sure you heat your oil to 370 degrees. Correct oil temperature is crucial to making golden, ambrosial beignets! **** For more information on making good beignets, you might want to visit the Cafe du Monde website.

Long Ziti from Gragnano
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I was so happy to find this. I've wanted to eat ziti for years. Five stars for being real ziti!But now that I've had it, I'm going back to chopped up pieces of pasta that used to be ziti. My largest pot is only 40 quarts. A mere ten gallons of water. My stove isn't powerful enough to bring that much water to a boil unlidded, but I have to fill it to the absolute brim to get most of the ziti into the water while it's still stiff and dry, so I can't lid it because it would boil over. I also can't stir the ziti once it's in as I have nothing long enough to reach down to the bottom of the pot without submerging my hand in near boiling water. I can't carry ten gallons of near boiling water to the sink, and even if I could, there is no possible way I could successfully pour it into a colander. After the ziti softened and was down in the pot I did try bailing out the pot like it was a boat. That sounded like a good idea, but bailing water and bailing near boiling water are two entirely different things. I survived that with only minimal burns, and I got the water down to where I could use my tongs to stir it. Once the ziti was cooked it was too long to successfully transfer into a bowl without it tearing into smaller pieces.So, in the end, I've eaten some ziti. It was quite an adventure. A bit too much adventure, really. But I'm glad I did it.AG Ferrari packed my ziti amazingly well in lots of spray foam. I have no idea why, as the pasta is so dry and so thick and so hard that I could probably use the package as a baseball bat. All in all, this brand of pasta is absolutely amazing for its flavor and texture.

If you get this sauce for the first time, I would take a edge of a toothpick and dip it in the sauce, and get the smallest amount on your tounge. It will burn for a good 10 minutes. This will let you know exactly how hot this sauce is. While I would bet most people use this sauce as an additive in other foods like salsa or chili, I like to put it on burittos (the football sized ones from mexican resturants), about one drop every third bite. But if you eat it that way, be prepared to pay the price. Your mouth will burn with no relief in sight. Your sinuses will clear and your nose will run uncontrollably. Your eyes may turn red, and you might have a hard time breathing. And don't forget about that second burn, the next time you use the toilet (that is a serious warning. I was at a mexican resturant with a friend who ate dave's on his burrito. Dave's kicked in and he had to go. Everyone in the resturant could hear him howling in pain while he was in the bathroom). I only know of one other person who can eat the sauce as a sauce. Everyone else who has tried it has begged for an ambulance or help. It is that hot. And I love it.One other note. If you use it as an additive, a little will crank up the heat level of most foods. If you don't think the hot salsa from the grocery store is hot, a few drops of this will make that salsa much hotter. But do yourself a favor, and make your own salsa. It is easy. I chop up two jalepenjo peppers, a onions, a can of diced tomatoes, maybe subsitute a chipolte if i want more sweetness, the juice of a lime, and a dash of dave's. Salt it and let it sit in the fridge for an hour. After an hour, drain the liquid into the blender, and add in one more can of canned tomatoes. Blend it, and then add it back to the salsa mixing it up. For something different, chop up a bit of mint for the salsa. It will give an odd taste. Your mouth will burn as you breath out, and cool as you breath in.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I often make different curry dishes for my family, from lamb Vindaloo to chicken Korma, they are always favorites around my house. The only problem is that some like it really hot and spicy while others prefer it medium or mild. It's hard to please everyone and just adding hot sauce at the end isn't the same since the peppers and spices don't get a chance to become a part of dish as it does when it simmers for a long while. With Rasta Fire and a little extra work everyone gets what they want.I often separate my curry dishes before I add the meat (for my son the vegetarian), now I just separate some more for those that like it hot. I love hot sauce and have a dozen bottles open in the fridge at any one time. I gave this sauce a chance several years ago based on the ingredient list. The tropical fruits such as orange, pineapple and papaya and the spices that includes curry, tumeric, cumin allspice and annato really appealed to me. I would rate the heat as 6 or 7 out of 10, just hot enough to hold it's own in a stew but not so hot that the flavor is over-powered by the heat. The combination of heat, tropical spices and fruit make for a sweet and savory sauce. Here are a few things that I've used it in (or on):* Indian Dishes* Thai Dishes* Bar-b-Qued Ribs* Deviled Eggs* Chicken Wings* Burgers* As a topping for cream cheese or goat cheese appetizers* As a marinade (with orange or pineapple juice)I really like this sauce and always have a bottle on hand. If you think that all Habanero sauces are so hot that they hurt, you might want to give this a try. It's really surprising how complex the taste is.

Well why not, most all good steak sauces andWorcestershire have anchovies, and you cant make a decent Caesar Salad without them either.What this sauce does to food is amazing. For ribs and chicken it just doesn't get any better.Not a real tomato taste like most mainstream BBQ sauce, and not a mustard flavor either likeyou will find in Florida and South Carolina. And although JB&B are in North Carolina, its nota traditional NC style sauce either and thank god for that cause NC BBQ is the most overhypedand overrated stuff I've ever had. So they went in a whole new direction with this recipecause there's nothing else like it.I use it as a finishing sauce on the grill, or you can dilute it with beer or vinegar and useit for a marinade, even on steak. Its also great on rotisserie chicken and wings. If you wantmore heat get the Hot and Spicy version. Its even better.BTW, my favorite recipe is for ribs using Emeril's Rib Rub and John Boy and Billy's GrillinSauce as a finisher. Great combination.

Wow. On the recommendation of the store owner, my husband and I bought a bottle of Gator Hammock at a specialty hot sauce shop in Dahlonega, GA. This is some truly flavorful hot sauce. Yes, it is hot, but not the kind of hot that you have to sign a waiver for or that will make you cry. I'd rate this at about a 5 on a 1-10 heat scale. Heat is great, I guess, if you're just trying to prove how macho you are or are the kind of person that thinks that eating should start with a dare. But what we really love about this sauce is the flavor it imparts. It must be in the mystery "spice blend" mentioned on the bottle. It's a bit fruity from the peppers but not at all sweet. It has some savory notes and is much more complex than a basic Tabasco or Texas Pete. There is not a pronounced vinegar flavor as is the case with some other hot sauces. I haven't tried this yet, but I'd imagine it would be amazing to add just a splash to tomato soup or to a Bloody Mary.What I have done is 1)mix it half and half with ketchup for a spicy burger topping, 2)added a splash to scrambled eggs (best scrambled eggs ever) and 3)added a little to some pulled pork barbeque along with a splash of vinegar and a tiny squeeze of honey. Voila--instant barbecue sauce.I cannot say enough good things about Gator Hammock. I went to their website the other day, and they make a wide range of products. Guess I'll be working my way through their inventory over the next few months!

I've been using Batch #37 ("The Batch") for YEARS and it is hands down my favorite hot sauce.

Many of the really hot sauces are so hot they lose any and all of their flavor. Supermarket hot sauces on the other hand, often times have decent flavor but very little heat.I eat The Batch to spice up salsa, straight on tortilla chips or whatever needs a little kick...I recently added a few drops to some cocktail sauce for dipping shrimp and it was amazing!!! Before it was available on Amazon, I would literally buy it by the case directly from the folks at Pain Is Good and give half the bottles away as gifts.WARNING: DO NOT give it to people that do not openly volunteer their love of hot sauces as they usually can't take the heat...literally.Now go get some Batch #37 and enjoy!!!

DA BOMB The Final Answer Hot Sauce, 2 oz
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. WOW this one definitely has the best burn of the three Da Bomb sauces... but one would expect that considering this one ranks at 1,500,000 scoville units (yes, that's 1.5 MILLION scoville units!).This one tastes and smells very similar to Ground Zero only the heat is amplified quite a bit. It has a nice pineapple and premium pipe tobacco-like smell and flavor (but this one is made with apricot). The burn on this sauce is VEEEEEEERY slow so be extremely careful with this bad boy. When I first tried this one I tried a drop on a cracker and was a bit disappointed. I immediately put another drop on a cracker and ate it. I was still a bit upset because I was expecting a BURN. Well, I screwed the cap back on and right after that I felt the burn really starting to come on strong. It kept getting hotter and hotter and hotter... Then I started to tear up a little bit. I was happy then. It doesn't seem like it's 1,500,000 SU type heat but it's still VERY hot.This one upset my stomach a little bit which is unusual because I eat a LOT of hot sauce and very very rarely get an upset stomach (it went away quickly though) This one is also quite expensive when compared to the other Da Bomb sauces... but usually once you hit the million mark the price goes up quite a bit so it's not unusual to spend around $30.00 for hot sauce like this.PLESE BE CAREFUL WITH THIS!

Brussel's Live Green Mound Juniper Outdoor Bonsai Tree - 5 Years Old; 6" to 10" Tall with Decorative
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. This tree was absolutely nothing as pictured. It has horrible qualities for bonsai, even as a place to start. The best part of my money spent was the unglazed pot I received. The tree was honestly healthy, albeit with a poor root system(very obviously grown from a cutting/air layer). It is just a horribly ugly thing with attempts of wiring that would have been best left off. It is about a foot and a half tall with a trunk diameter less than an inch. I could lop off the top half to start over, but the curve in the trunk is so dramatic there is nothing to do with it afterwards. I am attempting to make something out of it by rooting the branches and making an air layer out of the top half, which might have potential many years from now.Bottom line, don't buy from here, unless you want to pay $40 for a small pot and fire wood. You're better off going to your local department store and buying a juniper with a blind fold on.This would have 1 star but, as I said, the tree was technically in decent shape, as well as the pot. Not reccomended what-so-ever though.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I will admit, I was very hesitant buying this after reading the 3 negative reviews on the main item page description, but I ordered it anyways, I always wanted a flowering bonsai as I only have had the pleasure of having regular bonsais. But when I received, it was extremely healthy and taken care of. Only 3 leaves needed to be trimmed due to discoloration from being inside the box. I know it will take time to flwoer and won't expect it right away. My only concern is that the potting soil is not what I expected. I expected it to be softer and easier like the soil is supposed to be with bonsais, but instead it was regular soil with wood and rock in it. When I got to transplant it later on, I will be fixing that for sure because I want it to grow up healthy.But it's growing quite well and nothing was broken or dead. It was shipped out the next day and arrived at my house 3 days later. The other negative reviews probably had their shipping take longer and that is why the leaves were dissatisfying.Awesome work on this little guy, I would buy from you again. :)

The first time I had Dave's Insanity* sauce, I was at a restaurant. The waitress had sensibly warned me about its intensity and suggested I put just a dot of it on my plate to test it out. "Hah!" I thought, "Maybe some of your typical hot sauce wussy customers can't handle it, but I'm made of stronger stuff" and I proceeded to pour a ketchup sized pile on my plate. It was not until I coated half a french fry with it and stuck it in my mouth that I learned the folly of my ways. I began to sweat and blush as my vision started to get blurry. There was not enough water in the world to cool the inferno blazing in my mouth. Such is the way of this sauce. Heed my warning as I should have heeded hers.It probably isn't the hottest on the market, but it's the hottest I could find. It heats up anything with the tiniest of drops, which means the 5 oz bottles lasts a good while (about a year to a year and a half for me, but I add it to almost everything). I was not a fan of the semi vinegary taste at first, but have grown to like it. This sauce is thicker then most, which I prefer to the more watery ones. Definitely worth trying if you like super spicy sauce, but if that isn't your thing, stay away.As a final warning, try not to get any of it on your skin. This stuff burns!*It should be noted that this sauce neither contains nor creates insanity. This is a clear example of false advertising, and I have written Dave many times regarding this issue. He has yet to write a reply.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I came across this sauce about five years ago. A Thai friend had brought it over and claimed it was one of the hottest things he's ever tried.. I told him that being a Latino guy, I was used to dealing with hot stuff, (Habaneros being my favorite because of bite and taste)I followed his advise and used a toothpick to put a tiny dot on a chicken wing... and it did the job well!! I came across this sauce again at a Ross store and bought a couple (which by the way, lasted for a long, long time).I was very impressed with how hot this sauce was that I went out of my way to put little DOT "Hazardous Material" and "Flammable Liquid" placards on it... specially after I found my roomate bent over the sink, making hissing sounds and practically scrubbing his tongue in an attempt to stop the burn, he had treated this sauce and if it was your common Taco Bell sauce... big mistake. Unless you like scratching bathroom walls, treat this sauce with respect! For beginners (or anyone without "hot sauce scar tissue") use a toothpick to test your limits and move up little by litte. It's not meant to add flavor to your food but to add bite to it. Try a small drop in your ranch sauce, you'll love it! try a drop in anything in the pot, from pastas to stews to chili, (be careful with soups, the heat multiplies). I now have about 2 oz. left in my bottle and have been scanning the shelves at Ross, hoping to find a bottle for under $3 but so far, it looks like I might have to place and order online..

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Dave's Original Insanity sauce is one of those sauces on the "must try" list that has avoided my radar for some time. However, tonight I managed to score a bottle and almost couldn't wait to get it home and opened.The obligatory side bar warnings included "not for use by persons with respiratory or heart problems" HAHAHAHAHA! Wait, for real? OK, so now my interest was completely piqued. I tore off the shrink wrap and shook it really well as I could see the labeled "pepper extract" floating into the neck of the bottle.I grabbed a Doritos hint of lime chip and poured a puddle about the size of a quarter (no fear) and in the hatch it went. The flavor of this sauce is good; smoky and rich with a dark undertone which is typical of high end sauces. There was a slight bitter flavor that also accompanies other extract added sauces. But the warm rich overtones mostly covered the thin vein of bitter. This sauce is a slow burner. There was no ghost pepper 'kicks your face like a mule right out of the gate' burn, but it started building about 30 seconds in and kept billowing up like someone shoveling coal into an already stoked furnace.This sauce is hot. Not hot in your ordinary stinging, tingly, brings up a little bead or two of sweat. No, more like throwing back a shot of molten lead, followed by a hot battery acid chaser kind of hot. I was really impressed with Dave's ability to make my face pound with every heartbeat and then for my tongue to wilt and go to sleep in protest. Despite my well earned capsaicin tolerance I have to admit I drooled a little bit as my mouth was not responding to mental commands. This sauce can easily stand tall against Blair's Mega Death (with liquid rage) and Red Ghost. The pain is searing and lasting and the subsequent endorphin rush awesome! I highly recommend it. Seriously. But please... don't come back all snappy and say, "what, you pu$$y... that sauce was nothing." Because I will know you are a poser... yeah fosho. Put on your big boy pants and give it a good try... and let the tears of happiness flow.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Yes, I'm a chilehead. I not only grew my own peppers (jalapeno, habanero, and the hottest-at-its-time red savina) back in the mid-'90s but also made it a point to sample lots of hot sauces. I have a huge collection of hot sauces instead of liquor behind the home bar.Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce was the first ultra-hot sauce I've tried. What's interesting about this sauce is that it uses capsaicin extract in an oil base. This adds a lot of fury to an already fiery coarse and thick mix of tabasco and habanero peppers with a hint of smokiness within a tomato base. But you know you're into something brutal when you shake the bottle and witness the changing of the dark red contents to a fiery orange.The heat of this sauce creeps up on you. At first you begin delving into the already hot and slightly-smoky tastes and textures of the base. Then the extracts hit and lock onto your tongue. It's a very persistent burn that wiped that smug grin off of my face as I looked for the nearest glass of iced milk. And just when you think it's over, depending upon how much you consumed you may feel a wicked afterburn when you go and relieve the other end of your gastrointestinal tract.Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce is legendary. Even the label is worth a read. If you really want to test yourself or your friends you can't go wrong with this just for the burn.

My first experience with this hot sauce involved watching my college roommate lick the foil lining within the cap of a newly opened bottle. Five minutes later, sitting on the couch with his eyes closed and sweat all over his face, he proceeded to sit completely still for the next 45 minutes before the intense heat finally subsided enough for him to mutter a feeble "Holy $#%*"Sadly, this process was repeated the next morning. But instead of sitting on the couch, he was sitting on the bowl. And instead of silence, sounds that can only otherwise be heard during an exorcism were coming through the bathroom door. Once he had emerged, me and my other roomates stared at him curiously as he uttered these words of wisdom- "We must freeze our toilet paper if we are to ever eat this sauce again"Truer words have never been spoken, folks. As the rest of my roomates and I had our own experiences with Insanity Sauce, the cool, cool relief of an ice cold roll of toilet paper on a burning backside the morning after consuming this sauce, felt like there couldn't possibly be anything better in the world at that point in time. We thanked our roommate for his words of wisdom, and from that point forward, we always had a roll "chilling" in the freezer for subsequent MAD (Morning After Dave's) trips to the bathroom.I should probably add that there isn't much in the flavor department here, but nothing is better for kicking up the heat in anything you are cooking. A must have for 21 year old males everywhere

Okay, so I've read a lot of the reviews posted here on Amazon and it sure seems many claim this as a "cooking additive" or to use sparingly. I however find this to be a great hot sauce, but not to the point where you are at any jeopardy should you use this as an actual hot sauce on day to day food either. I myself live for hot sauce so have probably developed a tolerance of some sort. This sauce is indeed HOT. If you are not a consistent hot sauce user of hotter variety then this will be most likely hot for you. But if you are like me and order the hottest wings or the spiciest dishes or enjoy true hot flavor then this will most likely be a 7 out of 10 on the hot scale. I myself use this on single serving everyday meals as I would Tobasco. IE; Sandwiches, pastas, burritos, soups, anything you would normally add sauce too. Sure I cook with it too, but it can be used as a regular hot sauce. Yes, you should use a couple drops until you develop a tolerance. At this point I go through about a bottle a week, I use it that much several times a day. Hell I even have a video on youtube eating 2 tablespoons straight of the stuff...again its hot but not as bad as some people make it out to be! See it for yourself go to youtube and search "Dave's Insanity Bitch Slap".

My one and only experience with this hot sauce was during a roadtrip to the coast. I had packed my special blend of homemade Bloody Mary fixin's to enjoy in our Hotel. Unfortunately, this time I included "Dave's Insanity Sauce" which I had unwittingly bought for my husband who likes it hot. Once we hit our room I made two potent Mary's & not knowing what to expect barely dipped toothpick in Insanity Sauce & swirled it into my cocktail.Immediately upon my 1st sip FLAMES began shooting though my left ear "CARTOON STYLE"...It hurt so bad I thought I was going to have to go to E.R. Nearly ruined my entire weekend... On our last day in Monterey we found this little shop called Slow Burn (alas no longer open) which was packed to the brim with hot sauces from all over.. I would say there were at least 10 different bottles to sample. To my delight some actually had distinct flavor rather than just hotness and pain. My favorite was a little bottle that had a sombrero for a cap, (not sure the name) but yum! The owner explained to me why the Insanity Sauce caused me such pain. He thought it might be sugar that caused the heat to stick. They're not all like that. I don't see sugar listed in the ingredients listed here though...

Hello there.You may not know me, and I may not know you - I'm here for one reason, and that's to espouse why these Gummi Octopi are absolutely the best thing since lavender tea. How, may you ask, can simple gummi candy differentiate itself from one another? After all - all gummi candies taste relatively the same, like processed sugar, corn syrup, and chemical colouring. But that is precisely where the discerning synaesthete draws their inspiration! For whilst normal gummi-flavored candy products have a boring range of flavors (chemical red, chemical yellow, and chemical green), the Gummi Octopi not only dual-wield vibrant and bright colors yet unknown to most other brands of candy, their taste is simply divine! Ah! Ice-tentacle blue, and beryl yellow! The sweet satisfaction you provide!In addition to that and the product's proper status as Gummi Octopi, as noted by my fellow reviewer f. ferreiro, my other fellow reviewer - Brook Lindquist - raises and equivalid point. The cuteness of the product can not be understated! Each individual octopus has two little eye-bumps and a smile carved into their trusting frame, and though destined to be eaten, seem to happily accept their fate. The packaging is both cute and functional; the dual-layered bags meaning that your candy will remain fresh for a significant time after you order it, should you not be ordering it as a gift for other - an extremely kind courtesy on behalf of the seller.Not only are they bright and cute, however! Did I mention that eating a handful of Gummi Octopi a day will increase your magical power? Well, it's true! I ordered these Octopi, and successfully found a job after searching for a significant amount of time, succeeded in all of my life goals save one, and found myself contacted by strange intelligences from beyond the stars!... So, what are you waiting for? Get you some o' these, today!..[In truth, I used to love these as a kid, and figured they weren't sold anywhere else in the world; it really made my day to find them again. And they are very cute and tasty, plus they ship and keep real well. If you want some gummi candy, it'd be hard to do better then these little fellas.]{And they really do increase your magical power.}

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. First off - this is not an "instant' product the way most americans expect Hot Cocoa products to be. It comes in cakes and must be ground either with a mortar & pestle or in a very sturdy grinder/blender. It is a basic recipe which suits the majority. Therefore, if you want it to be super spicy, you need to dress it up a bit. Follow the package instructions for best results but use a whisk. It needs to be made in a saucepan on top of the stove or in a Mr. Coffee Cocomotion machine.Grind the cakes in advance for maximum convenience and use 1 and a half times the recommended amount for best results. Use whole milk for best results or 2%. Skim milk just doesn't work as well. For a spicier mug of cocoa, add ground chili powder to taste. You can also add a piece of vanilla bean while cooking if you like that. If you want even more cinnamon taste, you can cook with a cinnamon stick. You can add espresso powder as well for a nice change of pace. Instant coffee will do in a pinch plus that's a good way to get rid of intsant coffee!It's best to try a few mugs of Ibarra before you decide to spice it up. The flavor will grow on you. If you don't feel like paying the shipping fees, ask your grocer if they carry this item. Most chain grocery stores with a Hispanic section do carry Ibarra.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. This New England winter is brutal. The winds keep howling, the temps keep dropping and the snow is pounding us like we owe the clouds money. Every day I'm bundling up and shoveling four feet of something -- snow, ice, stranded hybrids, Kennedys -- and I'm done with it. I just wanted to find some way to warm up.Also, to feel my toes again and have my [...] crawl back out of my rib cage. But I settled for trying to warm up.I've always heard that if you warm up on the inside, then the outside will follow. So I bought this bottle of El Yucateco and saved it for the next inevitable snowstorm. When I was done shoveling and still shivering, I opened it up and slammed it down the hatch -- all eight ounces.First, a few words about the taste: El Yucateco red has a nice tangy element, lingering through the forward habanero kick and beyond. The additional spices play well with the primary pepper, adding a savory depth that's more than just pure heat or capsaicin jolt. The tomato base and hearty thick texture promise a richness and complexity of flavor that is delivered quite nicely to the palate.And now, a few words about the unrelenting napalm burn that traveled around my mouth, down my gullet and -- over the next twelve hours or so -- into, through, and out my intestines, scorching and defiling every square millimeter of delicate insides that it touched: [...]Overall, I'd say this would make a very nice complement to a variety of Mexican or South American dishes, as well as grilled meats, starchy vegetables or as an extra kick to, say, garlicky green veggie side dishes. Also, it's unlikely that I'll be able to sit down without searing pain for at least a month. So 'use in moderation' is the take-home message, I suppose.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I first had this at a local Mexican restaurant and went crazy for it, even though I thought I might die of the heat. I am a huge, yet disciminating, fan of hot suaces in general but this is by far my favorite right now. I can handle a lot of heat as a regular hot sauce eater but this stuff is on a different scale than what you can get at the grocery store. My husband won't come near this stuff. It is so good I want to pour it on whatever I'm eating but it is sooooo hot I have to find that threshold of barely tolerable heat before it's so much I can't take it. Of course, with continued dosage I can do more over time. Our Publix and Kroger doesn't carry it so I have to go to the mercado/taqueria and can only get the 4 oz. version so this time I actually bought three 8 oz. bottles here on Amazon (fiendish, I know).The flavor is excellent, uncomplicated and straight forward like fresh green habaneros blended with a bit of salt and a bit of vinegar. It isn't thin or overly vinegary or too salty though like a lot of hot sauces. I think this is because there is more actual habaneros in there because it's a little thicker consistency with a bit of fine texture to it. Also, the color is fabulous. I don't know if they add food dye or not but it is this vibrant, almost neon grass green. Love it.My favorite way to eat it is on simple things like carne asada with flour tortillas, avocado and shredded lettuce, on 'over medium' fried eggs, and it's perfect on fish tacos with cool slaw, raw white onion and ranch. The Mexican restaurant where I first had this doesn't have it on the tables anymore (probably because it's too hot for most) but they take it and puree it fine with avocado for this outrageously hot guacamole/habanero sauce thing that is just awesome.So obviously I love it and highly recommend it for experienced hot sauce people.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. This GREEN Habanero sauce is quite potent. Two or three drops is all you'll need for a bloody mary and only a few more drops will add considerable heat to any family sized dish.The Habanero chile is one of the hottest chiles known to man and in its immature state its color is green. So these younger chiles are slightly less hot than then the older red ones.This is a pure heat source with little if any other flavor beyond the overwhelming heat. If you really think hard about this sauce you might (?) be able to detect a vague hint of vinegar (which is the Acetic Acid listed in the ingredients).Ingredients (as copied from the label): Water, Habanero Pepper, Salt, Acetic Acid (a chemical component of vinegar), .... etcConclusion: There is nothing special about this sauce beyond its considerable and concentrated heat. While there are some very vague vinegar notes (from the Acetic Acid) - there is no real character to this sauce beyond pure heat.Yet that my be all you want. A potent heat source and this one certainly meets that mark!If you decide to order this sauce --- Watch the seller's shipping charges which can often be excessive and won't drop even if you order multiple bottles at the same time.I'd pass on this hot sauce because of its lack of character - 3 stars is about right. But if you are looking for just pure heat then give it 3 or 4 stars or even 5 stars.If you want even more heat then look for a Habanero sauce that does not list water as its first (therefore major) ingredient. There are other Habanero sauces which are even hotter but I'll confess I'm not a big fan of tasteless but ultra hot chile sauces.Tastes do differ so you may want to try this one. In all fairness I gave it three stars because it offered pure heat without any obvious flaws.

The commerical they were watching was for Sidral Mundet apple soda. But after waching that movie with that commerical. I really wanted try that soda to see if it was any good. None of the groccery store near by where I live don't have it anymore. They probly had in stores when it was big in the 1970s. So last fall I did look that up at Amazon, and they had it, so I order it, poured myself a glass after I got it in the mail, Dranked the whole glass and boy was it sooooo gooood. What did it taste like? it was like fresh juicy red apples made into a sparkly shampain turned into a sparlky soda. So if you love apple made into any apple product like pies and butter. Then this is the drink for you. Just beware that this product is brewed in Mexico. But I get this again every fall to stock up for my halloween party

I haven't had crawfish in 11 years and wanted some of my family to try them. They all agreed that while they stink in the kitchen, they taste much better than they smell and have an earthy and slightly shrimpy flavor to them. They also tend to have a shrimp like texture in the tail. I found about 4 bad or slightly decaying crawfish in this package....which is EXCELLENT for crawfish. Especially considering that you can EASILY get a bad one in a restaurant without the cooks realizing that it was less than KOSHER. In all, I had several dozen in this 3 pound order and can say that out of roughly 40 crawfish, only 4 or 5 were less than appetizing. You can generally tell by the odor and color of the flesh once cooked. I used a cajun seafood boil from Zatterans to flazor mine. I just boil about 1/2 gallon of water with 1-1/2 cups of their seasoning. Once boiling is under way, drop in crawfish and let boil about 7 minutes....then shut of heat and allow to rest about another 3 minutes to absorb more spice. Excellent spice that was just meant for these. Overall, I found these crawfish to be a very reasonable buy and well shipped for the price. If you don't live where crawfish are easily bought at low prices....then this place is were to go for these!

For sugar free products, it's very hard to find something that's tasty and to my liking. I am very picky. This product was for my father who is a diabetic, but I wouldn't give my father anything that I wouldn't eat myself.The frosting was very easy to make, just add some water and swirl in a circle and BOOM you have frosting. What I loved about this product was, just like the cake mix it was a bit of a surprise. When I opened the package, the box was very light and both the cake mix and this frosting were very powdery almost too powdery to my liking. They were both "Just Add Water" products, and with both of them I found myself very hesitant to add water to them because I thought I might dissolve this powder, however after just a half of cup of water and a few swirls, I got some good tasting frosting!Now, To be 100% honest, the frosting has a little funny taste, but it's not a terrible taste. But being that the product is a sugar free product, you do have to take into consideration the fact that that's what's going to be expected from the product. However, the after taste wasn't so bad that it over powered the frosting, it was like a light minty feeling to a chocolatey frosting. It's not completely to my liking, not something that I would eat regularly I prefer the real chocolate frosting over this one, however, when you eat it with the chocolate cake, it's almost like you're not missing anything. My suggestion to you, is if you MUST get the icing then YOU MUST get the sugar free chocolate cake with it as well because it's soo much of a treat. I think it was worth it. Fast shipping, I made the frosting in under 5 minutes, the cake baked in about 15. You can have a sugar free cake in 20 minutes! I would buy again.

I cannot believe that anyone would write that much about a candy. I mean come on its candy for goodness sake! who really cares about the origin of the name of the candy bar. Its like putting nutrition facts on fast food wrappers, no one wants to know whats in fast food, just as no one really cares where candy got its name. after all, "a candy by any other name, would still taste as sweet", so the name is superfluous. Yes, its really intersting and would make a nice episode of A&Es history channel, but seriously not for a review. This is what a review should be like: "I just bought a box of baby ruths, I haven't taken it out of the box yet, but it looks really good. I would defininty recommend this product to anyone interested in "nutty goodness". I have had several other candy bars and after they were gone I looked around for several months before I found the right bar, I compared it to the reeses bar of a similar price and definitly feel this is a much better candy bar." Thats what a review should be like. No offence buddy, I just messing with you, I really liked your review, it was intersting. ( I found your review helpful:)

I am a candy bar addict and a sugar junkie, and when I head to the candy bar isle at the local Quicky-Mart I always pick up a 5th Avenue.5th Avenue is a wondeful blend of chocolate, peanut butter and crunch that will leave you hungry for more. 5th Avenue is unlike any other cany bar on the market, and if you've never tried one...do yourself a big favor. You won't regret it! Yum!Some history on the candy bar from Hershey's:William H. Luden (1859-1949) launched his fledgling candy business in 1879 and offered an extensive line, including cough drops, hard and soft candies, chocolates and marshmallow products. Unlike many confectioners during that time, Luden manufactured his own chocolate for his chocolate novelties and chocolate-coated candies. In 1936, he introduced the 5TH AVENUE candy bar, a milk chocolate bar with a crunchy peanut butter center.World War II forced Luden's to concentrate production efforts on Luden's menthol throat drops and 5TH AVENUE candy bars for military use. Immediately following the war, Luden's reverted to producing a full line of confectionery products including the famous Luden's menthol throat drops and 5TH AVENUE candy bar, as well as penny candy consisting of ladyfingers, pillowcases, mint patties, penny jujube novelties, penny hard candy, penny coconut novelties, cast marshmallow novelties, and a line of penny sugar-rolled jellies.Timeline1859 William H. Luden, founder, born.1879 W. H. Luden Candy Company established.1928 Acquired by Food Industries of Philadelphia, a holding company owned by the Dietrich family.1936 5TH AVENUE candy bar introduced.1980 Queen Anne Candy Company, Hammond, IN, acquired by Luden's Inc.1986 Acquired by Hershey Foods Corporation.

I love mincemeat. My grandmother made mincemeat. I make it now myself. This is not mincemeat. This is disgusting.Here are the ingredients in Crosse & Blackwell's "mincement," in order of volume, according to the label: apples, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, raisins, water, vinegar, corn starch, and then trace elements of orange peel, salt, spices, caramel color, orange juice, and preservatives. (As an aside, what on earth is the purpose of that orange juice, which exists in less quantity than the caramel color. )In other words, this concoction is apples, drenched in high-fructose corn syrup and regular corn syrup, with a few raisins. Lord knows what the "spices" were, because they could scarcely be distinguished under the sickly aftertaste of corn syrup.Here are the ingredients from a recipe for real mincemeat, again in order of volume: apples, raisins, beef (for those who like it), sultanas, currents, sour cherries, citrons, sugar, strawberry preserves, apricot preserves, orange peel, lemon peel, spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, mace, allspice), salt. This mixture is marinated in liquor - rum, brandy, sherry, apple jack, or whatever additional or alternative liquor you may enjoy. Our family's recipe calls for these things; other people use different fruits, most omit the meat, some use juice and vinegar instead of liquor. But the result, in any case, is rich, spicy, complex and delicious.Or, if you prefer, you may have Crosse & Blackwell's canned apples with high-fructose corn syrup.
