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. McCann's makes oatmeal for every oatmeal connoisseur, whether one likes it from the raw pellet state that cooks for half an hour, to the sloth addled instant, which can be done in the microwave for under three minutes. It's all good, that's for sure, and the beauty of the instant variety is that it is available in different flavors as well as regular. This variety pack allows different tastes to be explored, as well as giving you a chance to experience the difference between McCann's and other well-known oatmeals. What I personally like about McCann's is that it cooks up thicker and with more body than the top brand here in America. The Apples & Cinnamon, though, tends to be a little liquidy so you may want to experiment with the amount of water you add. In my 1300 watt microwave the oatmeal cooks up in about one minute and twenty-seven seconds, so you should also watch that to get a handle on how much time and water to use. The only bad thing -- if you can consider it a bad thing -- about this offering is that you have to buy in lot so you'll end up with six ten-count boxes. This is good if you have a whole family of oatmeal-eaters, but if you're a single person alone -- well, love oatmeal. Results: McCann's offers a variety of oatmeal options, including instant flavors. It cooks up thicker than other brands but may be a bit liquidy with Apples & Cinnamon flavor. You need to buy in bulk, which is great for families. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: oatmeal, variety, McCann Negative: bulk only, thick, liquidy

This wasn't in stock the last time I looked. I had to go to the Vermont Country Store in Weston to find it along with a jaw harp, Cranberry Horseradish Sauce, Fartless Black Bean Salsa, Apple Cider Jelly, Newton's Cradle Art in Motion and the staple Vermont Maple Syrup.Back to the Ass Kickin Peanuts. They are hot. They will activate the perspiration glands behind your ears and under your arms. It requires a beverage as advertised, a glass of very cold milk, and a box of Kleenex since it will make your nose run. They look like ordinary peanuts which is already giving me ideas for work. I suspect that some people have been hitting my goodies in my absence, especially my colleague Greg. I'm going to take this to work at earliest opportunity and empty the contents of this can into an ordinary Planters Peanuts can, and then see whose crying or whose nose is running when I return.The can should be shaken to ensure the spices are evenly distributed. It is important to wash your hands after consumption and not touch the eyes.You'll go nuts over these Ass-Kickin' Peanuts.P.S. I'm not sharing the peanuts, not deliberately, and I'll probably give Greg the jaw harp for Christmas. He'll be so insulted. Results: The writer found various items at a specific store in Vermont. They describe the extreme spiciness of Ass Kickin Peanuts and plan to play a prank on their colleague with them. They advise precautions for consuming the peanuts and express their intention to keep them to themselves while possibly giving their colleague a gift that may offend him. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: gift, Ass Kickin Peanuts Negative: extreme spiciness,
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. Buyer Beware Please! This sweetener is not for everybody. Maltitol is an alcohol sugar and can be undigestible in the body. You will know a short time after consuming it if you are one of the unsuspecting many who cannot digest it by the extreme intestinal bloating and cramping and massive amounts of gas a person can experience. Nausea, diarrhea & headaches can also be experienced. I learned my lesson the hard way years ago when I fell in love with the sugar-free chocolates suzanne sommers used to sell. I thought I'd found sugar-free chocolate nirvana at first taste but the bliss was short lived when the terrible side effects of maltitol kicked in. The discomfort was unlike anything I had ever felt before. I blew up like a balloon and had very painful abdominal cramping. As the symptoms passed, this too was very unpleasant. Though hard for me to believe a low calorie sweetener could be the culprit, all symptoms were gone when I stopped eating the chocolate. My hunch it had something to do with the maltitol were unfortunately confirmed for me about a year later when I purchased some delicious sugar-free popcorn at my local market. The taste was amazing and while I was looking at the label wondering what could possibly make this yummy, new sugarfree treat taste so good, my heart sank when I followed the little asterisk next to sugarfree sweetener* down to the very bottom of the label and read "maltitol" in tiny little letters! Thank goodness I'd eaten only a little. I still ended up with all the same side-effects but for a much shorter duration. Some people can use maltitol to their heart's content but others, like me, can have a bad reaction to it. In case you're like me, ... it's not you ...it's the maltitol! Results: Maltitol, a sugar substitute, can cause digestive issues such as bloating, cramping, and gas for some people. It can also lead to nausea, diarrhea, and headaches. The writer had a negative experience with maltitol after consuming sugar-free chocolates and sugar-free popcorn. They advise caution for those who may have a bad reaction to maltitol. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: maltitol Negative: nausea, diarrhea, headache, caution, bloating, cramping
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 been drinking Royal King 100% Natural Organic Green Tea (100 tea bags x 2g each) as my every day tea for several years now. I buy 12 boxes at a time to save on shipping. For many years I used to drink coffee from morning till night. But finally I realized that drinking so much coffee was not healthy for me. I finally resolved to improve my health and stopped drinking coffee all together. I tried many alternative drinks to replace my coffee habit. I found that green tea was not only good tasting it also has health benefits. Green tea is one of the few drinks that actually makes you healthier (coffe and other drinks do not) - the only healthier drink is quality cold water. In my opinion, for the price, Royal King 100% Natural Organic Green Tea is one of the best tasting teas. This green tea has a beautiful golden color, the taste is bright and fresh. I recommend adding a tiny amount of Y.S. Organic Bee Farms RAW HONEY to the tea to add sweetness and health benefits too. I also give myself a treat once in a while by having a much more expense tea (Tribute Xi Hu Long Jing) but this fantastic tea is not practical for me to drink as my every day tea (although I would if I could afford it).Cons: On my latest shipment the package shown on the Amazon page is different than the one shipped. The one shipped displays "NATURALLY HIGH IN POLYPHENOL CATECHINS" (a key contributive element to the possible health effects of tea), whereas the Amazon package displays "CAFFENE FREE". So I am not sure if this green tea is Caffene free or not. The other con is that sometimes the tea bag rips open when I unwrap the string from around the tea bag. So if the string seems stuck to the tea bag I put the bag in the hot water to unstick it. Results: I switched from drinking coffee to Royal King 100% Natural Organic Green Tea for its taste and health benefits. I recommend adding a little honey to enhance the flavor. There are some cons regarding packaging and occasional tea bag ripping, but overall it's a great everyday tea. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: everyday tea, green tea, health benefit Negative: packaging, tea bag ripping
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 heard a little about this product from the local pet store, then tried a small bag for our 2 cats of about 3 and 6 years respectively. The female, younger one took to it right away, and the older male, who was unfortunately weaned on the junk cat food with all the corn meal and etc... in it, and would usually refuse a diet change, actually liked it too. The older male is overweight and we were trying to switch him to soft food on the doctor's request, but he totally refused it. He is a posh cat after all. He still consumes too many calories, the fatty, but at least I know he's eating good food. Of course, I know this product seems to cost more than most other feline food on the market, but I just can't see feeding our animals the lousy alternatives that are out there, marketed as being healthy. Why do commercials show cats eating a vegetarian diet which is mostly corn meal? Is that right? I'll stay with this for now, but stay tuned.I'm updating this review after 9 months of using this cat food for our two cats. I upgraded the stars from 4 to 5 as it really has been a good food for the two of them. Garfield still eats a little too much, but he's just a big cat who doesn't exercise much, let's face it. Our female cat will be 4 years old in a couple months and she's so healthy. She's tiny, but happy and agile. I tried the chicken version of Holistic Select, but Garfield seemd to miss this sardine version so we went back to this one. I've ordered the duck version and will update this once they try it. Results: I tried a new cat food for my two cats. The younger one liked it right away, and even the older one who usually refuses diet changes enjoyed it. It's more expensive, but I prefer it to unhealthy alternatives. After 9 months, I'm upgrading my rating to 5 stars. The female cat is healthy and agile. I tried a different flavor, but went back to this one. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: healthy, alternative, diet change Negative: expensive

I couldn't wait to try the 8″ Cinnamon Coffee Cake because it is made with fresh eggs, creamy sour cream, Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla and is topped and filled with cinnamon streusel. This 8″ Cinnamon Coffee Cake is available online for only $18.95. Now, I have had my fair share of cinnamon coffee cakes, but, let me just tell you that the FantasiCakes Cinnamon Coffee Cake really "takes the cake" with size, price, quality and taste.The cake arrived very fast and was carefully packaged so that it arrived in almost perfect condition. It also comes with a large tub of white icing that you can drizzle over the top, before serving. I couldn't believe how large the size was and it actually fed my family of 5 for us to enjoy during breakfast, for three days. The cake itself is thick and almost has a solid but sponge cake type consistency that is really moist and very filling. The flavors are to die for with the sticky cinnamon outside and sweet cinnamon and vanilla swirled throughout the inside of the cake. The icing really tops it off beautifully and gives it that moist and sticky sweet flavor. Pair the cake with your morning coffee and you've got the perfect breakfast treat! Results: The 8" Cinnamon Coffee Cake from FantasiCakes is made with fresh ingredients, has a generous size, and comes with delicious icing. It arrived quickly and stayed in good condition. The cake is moist, filling, and has a great cinnamon and vanilla flavor. Perfect for breakfast with coffee. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: delicious, icing, condition, moist, thick Negative: x
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 have three cats, the youngest is about eleven years old, another is fifteen and our oldest is, well ancient. That is what the vet told us ten years ago. The youngest is a blob. When he lays down, he looks like a footstool. The other two are arthritic and skinny.Since we had such success with Canidae Platinum for senior dogs, I figured that we'd give it a try for our cats. I'd had them on low ash Purina One Urinary tract formula for their entire lives and thankfully we had no UT problems.Buster, the youngest, is still a blob after six months plus on Felidae for Senior and Overweight cats. However, the other two are now much more active and we can tell that they are really "feeling better" since we changed their food to Felidae. Even Prissy, the ancient one has started to play and tease the dogs by getting them to chase her, where before when she was on Purina One, all she wanted to do was to sleep.I think that if you can get your cat on this fairly early in their weight problems, it'll be more effective.However, the glucosamine will certainly help your older fur balls have a happier life. Results: We tried Canidae Platinum for senior cats and saw positive results. The youngest cat is still overweight, but the other two are more active and playful. The food change improved their overall well-being. Starting early with this food can be more effective for weight issues, and the glucosamine benefits older cat Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: senior cat, active, improvement, glucosamine Negative: x
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. As with canidae, Felidae has also changed their formula. Cats do not like change when it comes to their food. And they just had to change it without putting it on their label. We noticed the color of the food had changed and so did the smell. (As you will notice I have also reviewd the Canidae, and this all happened the same time the dogs were having issues.)Prior to the change in food we had almost lost two of our cats because we had moved to a new home. If cats get "upset" because of a change in enviorment, or a loud noise they can stop eating. It depends on the cat. Two of them had stopped eating and had lost a lot of weight. We took them to the vet and it took months to get them back to normal. It has been a year since then and they are better. Then the formula for this food changed.We started to noitce they were not eating as much and it started to bug us. We asked the shop owner of the feed store and she had no knowledge of any change to the food. It wasn't until the we were in there with other customers yelling about their dogs food making their dogs sick. Right away we changed the cats food and they started chowing down and haven't suffered one bit like our dogs have.Cats are sensitve animals and changes to thier food could cause them to stop eating. Anyone thinking of purchasing this food should not do it! We have 5 rescued and fixed cats, none of which are picky eaters and the change in this formula could have been the death of them had we not found out about the change in their formula.I urge anyone that has had these problems to go to the consumer affairs website and also the FDA website and write a letter to them to let them know how this has affected your animal. As with canidae they do not care how the change has affected my animals, and tell me not to buy it. This is just horrible! Results: Felidae changed their formula without updating the label, causing issues for our cats. Cats are sensitive to food changes and it can affect their eating habits. We almost lost two cats due to the stress of a new home, and then the formula change exacerbated the problem. We switched their food and they started eating again. I advise against purchasing this food and encourage others to report their experiences to consumer affairs and the FDA. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: formula change, smell, color, stopped eating
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 are both kind of wimpy when it comes to hot things and this seasoning is just a bit too spicy for us. It definitely makes you sweat a bit when you're eating it. It was still edible to us by adding a good sized dollop of sour cream but I don't think I would buy it again due to the heat. We prefer the milder McCormick's brand of Fajita mix. I've also had fajitas in a couple of different restaurants and it wasn't as spicy as this mix is.If you like super spicy then this is not burning hot so you might want to keep that in mind. To me it was more than medium hot but not by too much.I gave it three stars because it was pretty easy to make and it's versatile in that you could vary the veggies you put in it. You take a plastic bag, a couple of tbs of vegetable oil, 1/4 cup water and mix the seasoning, water and oil together then add the chicken strips to the bag and let it marinate for 5 minutes. In the meantime, it says to stir fry your veggies (peppers and onion) but I found it easier to just cook the chicken and veggies together and I don't think it affected quality or taste. I also used extra virgin olive oil rather than vegetable oil.I have one more package of this to use and next time I'm going to add more veggies and maybe some chopped tomato to cut the heat a bit more. Results: This seasoning is too spicy for us, but adding sour cream made it edible. We prefer milder fajita mixes like McCormick's. It's easy to make and versatile. I suggest adding more veggies and maybe chopped tomato to reduce the heat. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: easy to make, versatile Negative: spicy
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. The recommendation when we bought our puppies (lhasa/bichon mix and lhasa/poodle mix) was that we continue them on the food that they have had since being weaned. This is a somewhat expensive food so I can't say that we were terribly pleased but we loaded up on the stuff and headed home.Let me just say this, I have had small dogs before. Never have I seen such gas issues. Both of them consistently had foul gas. Consistently. Usually when they're sitting on our laps but, you know. They're dogs.When we got through the first bag of this stuff, we purchased more on amazon. It was a great price for it since we got a 40 lb bag for the price of (I think) a 15 lb bag at Petco. But, they continued to have gas. I mean, they loved the food, don't get me wrong and they loved it more when we'd mix in some water and it would be like soft food. Somehow that made their gas worse but I think I'll have to give that responsible to the speed with which they chowed down- can't blame the food itself for gluttony.Eventually, we switched their food. No more farting. I think it was due to the high fat content which undoubtedly is necessary for very small puppies. They just need that in their diet. I think that we were advised to keep them on it for much longer than was useful (they said up until 1 year). Yeah right, you try dealing with gas for that long. Around 6 mos of age we switched to PuppyChow. Much better. Granted, they don't like it as much, but we humans like it a whole lot better. Results: Initially fed expensive food, puppies had consistent gas issues. Switched to cheaper PuppyChow and gas problems resolved. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: cheaper, gas issues resolved Negative: x
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, it's probably healthier than 5-Hour Energy or Starbucks shots but if you're looking to avoid a caffeine overload, this is still not for you. Most energy drinks cannot be made w/ out a high dosage of caffeine. I believe the caffeine content of 1 Guayaki shot is 150 mL - probably lower than other un-healthy energy shot drinks but I believe most other people avoid the top brands b/c they contain too much caffeine and/or sugar. If you do not react well to caffeine, Guayaki is not a good buy either. I definitely feel an energy boost w/ 1 full Guayaki shot but not w/ out all the other caffeine side effects - irritability, nervousness, mood-swings. Caffeine overdose is why I stopped drinking coffee. But it looks even organic energy drinks are still not safe.Now you're NOT sensitive to caffeine, then it's a great buy. It's not loaded w/ sugar. The taste is easy and pleasant. It's not loaded w/ a bunch of chemicals like 5-Hour shots or Starbucks drinks. And the energy boost lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. Takes about 5 to 7 minutes to kick in but all this probably depends on your body/weight.Side note - if you want to feel energized during the day, have a protein drink first thing in the morning and stay away for heavy, fattening foods during the day that will make you feel sluggish and sleepy! Results: Guayaki is a healthier energy drink with less caffeine but still not recommended if you're sensitive to caffeine. It provides an energy boost without the side effects of irritability and nervousness. However, if you're not sensitive to caffeine, it's a good option as it's not loaded with sugar or chemicals. The energy boost lasts for 4 to 5 hours. Remember to have a protein drink in the morning and avoid heavy, fattening foods to stay energized during the day. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: energy boost, caffeine, not loaded with sugar Negative: sluggish, sleepy

I have used and liked Sugar in the Raw for many years, after being introduced to it in a Starbucks. My most recent purchase, however, was disappointing. The sugar was lighter in color and had a crystal size maybe 1/4th of the regular size. Having large crystals was something I always really liked about Sugar in the Raw. It enhanced the quality of mixed drinks and of lattes. I called their hotline to complain and was told that they had had a problem with their recent sugar crop and that the result was less molasses in the sugar. They have had many complaints of a similar nature. This, they claimed, also reduced the crystal size. They said this problem should go away with their newer crop. The representative said that the new-crop sugar will have a 6-10 digit date code (without ANY spaces) that ends with a "1" and no letters. The trailing digits are a date code using the Julian calendar. (My recent bad-purchase had a space after the initial sequence of numbers and then ended with a "51A"). Bottom line: their current product is not much better than much cheaper products. When they get a better crop, I'll go back to purchasing Sugar in the Raw. Results: Disappointed with recent purchase of Sugar in the Raw due to lighter color and smaller crystal size. Called their hotline and was informed about a problem with their recent sugar crop resulting in less molasses and smaller crystals. Many similar complaints received. They assured the issue will be resolved with their newer crop indicated by a specific date code. Current product quality not worth the price compared to cheaper alternatives. Will consider repurchasing once they have a better crop. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: dissapointing, lighter color, crystal size, less mollasses

When we received our Keurig Elite for Christmas, we were so excited to break open the sample pack of pods to try out different blends and flavors. Of the 12 pods we had in the box, four were Green Mountain Coffee brand. I'd never tried anything from this company before, but from what I had researched online, they have the largest range of Keurig pods and have even bought out competitors to produce coffee under their brand names as well.Unfortunately, I was immediately disappointed by the quality of the coffee. We tried their Dark Magic, Decaf and Breakfast Blend and all were underwhelming, to say the least. I was almost completely set on writing off Green Mountain altogther.We had one GM pod left and being of the mindset of waste-not-want-not, I figured I'd give it one last go around before forgetting about them completely. And I'm glad I did.The Nantucket Blend is a perfectly pleasing cup of coffee. It is nice and flavorful without being thick and pungent (unlike some of the other GM blends we tried). I added some flavored creamer to it and it almost measures up to our go-to Caribou Blend pods. Almost. All in all, this is a very standard cup of coffee which, while it isn't anything new or exciting, is very pleasing and definitely one of the better Keurig options we've been able to test out. When we run out of all the pods we've accumulated, I'll probably pick up a box of these as well.Now that I know Green Mountain isn't completely disappointing I'll definitely be open to trying a few more of their coffees (with our promotion for getting the bewer we ordered Green Mountain Coffee Golden French Toast, K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 24-Count to try as well) and see how it goes from there.If you're looking for a go-to choice, this is your cup! Results: Received Keurig Elite for Christmas and excited to try different coffee pods. Sample pack included four Green Mountain Coffee pods. Initial disappointment with Dark Magic, Decaf, and Breakfast Blend. Almost gave up on Green Mountain until trying Nantucket Blend, which turned out to be pleasing and flavorful without being overwhelming. Added flavored creamer and it compared well to Caribou Blend. While not groundbreaking, it's a solid option among Keurig choices. Will consider buying more in the future. Open to trying other Green Mountain coffees as well. Overall, a good go-to choice. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Nantucket Blend, standard, pleasing Negative: Dark Magic, Decaf, Breakfast Blend

I was pretty pleased with these mushrooms. They were mostly large pieces, re-hydrated well and had good flavor. I'd estimate about 25% of the contents were broken into medium to small pieces, most likely due to the shaking about in transit. Not a problem since I sometimes break the large pieces into smaller ones for some recipes. There was a small amount (perhaps an ounce or so) of very small/minced-size/dust-like pieces. Still useful to add into gravies and the like. Nothing gets wasted!The label says it is a product of China and Italy. Nothing was specified as to the proportion from each country.I'm quite fond of dried mushrooms. While they may lack the texture you can get only when using fresh ones, the convenience of always having them on hand is a big plus. Additionally, I find the broth used to re-hydrate them adds a wonderful flavor to soups and stews. To save time and add flavor, I sometimes add the dried mushrooms directly into the soup or stew without re-hydrating them. Really helps meld all the flavors together. I also am fond of adding some to the cooking water when boiling pasta. The pasta picks up a wonderful earthy flavor when it cooks in the mushroom-infused water.This was the first time I used the Roland brand (got it on a price dip from the Amazon Warehouse), and would certainly buy them again. Highly recommend. Results: The mushrooms were mostly large and re-hydrated well. About 25% were broken, but it wasn't a problem. There were small/minced pieces that are useful for gravies. The product is a mix from China and Italy. Dried mushrooms are convenient and add flavor to soups, stews, and pasta. Roland brand is recommended and worth buying again. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: re-hydrated well, price dip, large pieces Negative: broken, pieces

I'm addicted to salty and tangy flavors, so when I opened my first bag of Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle Brand chips I knew I had a perfect complement to my vegetable trays of cucumber, carrot, celery and cherry tomatoes. Skip the dip; balance the tangy chips by alternating bites of raw vegetable.As an Oregonian, I'm proud to share these delectable snacks with friends, especially those living outside our state and who haven't experienced gourmet chips. I tell them Kettle Brand does for potato chips what microbrews did for beer.Kettle Brand potato chips are unmistakable--a light gold color, rich flavor and amazing crunch. Kettle Brand chips are also a healthier snacking option than the major chip brands. Kettle Brand chips don't have trans fats, MSG or artificial flavors and colorings. The company also has a line of organic potato chips and all of their products are certified Kosher.I also recommend Kettle Chips Honey Dijon and Kettle Chips Spicy Thai.Annette Solomon, a reporter for the Salem Statesman Journal recently noted that a glass of wine goes nicely with these chips. Solomon wrote, "...you could be missing out on a wonderful pairing. These chips are spicy, so you would want to select a semi-sweet white wine. Also, a moderate amount of acid will subdue the strong flavors of ginger, lime, garlic and cilantro without over-powering them. Classically, a German-style Riesling fits these parameters perfectly." Results: Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle Brand chips are a tangy complement to vegetable trays. They're gourmet, healthier, and come in various flavors. Recommended with wine, particularly semi-sweet white wine like German-style Riesling. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Sea Salt & Vinegar, Kettle Brand, no MSG Negative: x

These Honey Dijon chips bring a terrific balance of salty, tangy, sweet and crunchy.

I first discovered Kettle Chips with sea salt and vinegar while shopping at Trader Joe's with my daughter Mindy. I couldn't believe how tasty they were; the best chip I had ever eaten. It was love at first bite, and I've been munching them ever since.Other things in their favor: they're thicker than other chips, so don't crumble as I'm devouring them; they're delightfully crunchy; and the salt-and-vinegar combination is heavenly. I tried to create an original line to describe this palate-pleasing taste treat, but couldn't beat what the manufacturer said: tongue-puckering tang and crunch. Isn't that poetic?As for health values, since Kettle Chips are not peeled during preparation, I'm getting more nutrition, such as potassium and vitamin C. My mother would approve of that, and the fact that they're hand-cooked in small batches.I often enjoy Kettle Chips as an afternoon snack with my favorite soda or iced tea, but they're also delicious with a tuna sandwich or a hot dog for lunch. Well, actually Kettle Chips go perfect with everything ... except "sweets," of course.My only problem is that they're so delicious I can't stop eating them. That's the reason I chose these smaller packets; I figured 24 could last me almost a month, if I was a good girl, kept my appetite under control--and hid them from the kids! For the sake of fewer calories, I try hard and have succeeded so far. It isn't easy, but ...Have I told you how much I love them?Reviewed by: Betty Dravis, 2008Millennium Babe: The Prophecy Results: Discovered delicious Kettle Chips with sea salt and vinegar at Trader Joe's. Love at first bite. Thick, crunchy, tongue-puckering tang and crunch. Nutritious, hand-cooked in small batches. Perfect with any meal. Can't stop eating them, hiding from kids. Love them so much. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: best chip, kettle chips, love at first bite, don't crumble Negative: can't stop eating
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. With Kettle Chips, you really have to be careful. Some of their flavors are nauseating. With that said, they DO make fantastic plain chips. Thick cuts of potato, fried to a dark golden brown. They are crunchy and lightly salted with sea salt. I can't recommend these chips enough. You won't regret it.Some people say they are burnt but they aren't. From their website: "Take a quick look and you'll see an immediate difference: Kettle Brand® Potato Chips are a beautiful tawny gold. During cooking, the natural sugars of our select potatoes caramelize, creating chips from light gold to a deep amber. The results are flavors as deep and rich as the colors, and an artisanal display in every bag"Some have also said that these chips are oily, which is true. But they explain that on their website: "At Kettle Foods we exclusively use expeller pressed high monounsaturated sunflower and/or safflower oil to make Kettle Brand® products. Both of these oils are naturally free of trans fatty acids and are not hydrogenated in any way. We have taken the extra step of sending our products to independent third party labs to test for the presence of trans fats and results indicate we are "trans fat free" meaning none were detected. You will see zero trans fats listed on our packaging." That oiliness is natural and happens when quality oil is being used.You will not find chips with such a natural potato flavor. I'm also a fan of their unsalted potato chips. For those of us watching our salt intake, the unsalted chips is the best you can get. Period. Results: Kettle Chips offers a range of flavors, but some can be nauseating. However, their plain chips are fantastic. Thick cuts, fried to a dark golden brown, crunchy, and lightly salted with sea salt. Highly recommended. Some claim they are burnt, but it's actually the caramelization of natural sugars during cooking. The colors and flavors are deep and rich. The chips may appear oily, but Kettle Foods uses high-quality, trans fat-free oils like expeller-pressed sunflower and safflower oil. The oiliness is natural and a sign of quality. These chips have a natural potato flavor. Their unsalted chips are also great for those watching their salt intake. The best you can get. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: thick cuts, natural flavor, unsalted, caramelize, fantastic plain chips Negative: nauseating

These are among the best chips I have ever eaten! I first came upon them when I visited a CostPlus World Market store in Opelika, AL, in the Tiger Town Mall, in 2007. I wasn't a big fan of dijon-flavored anything, but I decided to give these chips a try. I was hooked. I probably ended up buying over a dozen bags within just a few months' time. I searched all over my part of Alabama (the northwestern part of the state) and could not find them. I later tried to find them at the World Market in Hoover, at the Patton Creek Shopping Center, and they did not carry this flavor. However, when I learned that they were available on Amazon.com, and also available for PRIME Shipping - I bought them as soon as I read "Kettle Chips Honey Dijon, 9-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)!"You get a pretty big box, filled with 12 bags of these delicious morsels. They last quite a while, but I will re-order, very, very soon! I suggest you buy them, in this bulk form, and enjoy them - you won't be disappointed! They go great with hamburgers and hot dogs - so they're perfect for spring and this coming summer's outdoor activities and cook-outs!Take my word for it, these chips are a hidden gem lost in the world of snack foods! Buy some today, and fall in love like me! Results: These chips are the best I've ever eaten. Discovered them in 2007 at CostPlus World Market. Became hooked and bought many bags. Couldn't find them locally but found them on Amazon. Bought a pack of 12 and they're delicious. Perfect for spring and summer cookouts. Hidden gem in the snack world. Buy and fall in love!

As an Oregonian, I make a point of sharing these Oregon-made snacks with friends who visit the state. I tell them the Kettle Brand does for potato chips what microbrew does for beer.Kettle Brand potato chips are unmistakable--a light gold color, rich flavor and amazing crunch. Kettle Brand chips are also a healthier snacking option than the major chip brands. Kettle Brand chips don't have trans fats, MSG or artificial flavors and colorings. The company also has a line of organic potato chips and all of their products are certified Kosher.Annette Solomon, a reporter for the Salem Statesman Journal noted that a glass of wine goes nicely with Spicy Thai chips. Solomon wrote, "...you could be missing out on a wonderful pairing. These chips are spicy, so you would want to select a semi-sweet white wine. Also, a moderate amount of acid will subdue the strong flavors of ginger, lime, garlic and cilantro without over-powering them. Classically, a German-style Riesling fits these parameters perfectly."I also recommend Kettle Chips Honey Dijon and Kettle Chips Sea Salt & Vinegar.The Honey Dijon chips bring a terrific balance of salty, tangy, sweet and crunchy. Other brands I've tried use too much mustard flavor, which overpowers the Honey Dijon pairing. The Honey Dijon chips make a great side dish on a BBQ plate with baked beans, coleslaw or potato salad and grilled meat. Naturally, they also go down great with beer.The Sea Salt & Vinegar chips are a perfect complement to vegetable trays of cucumber, carrot, celery and cherry tomatoes. Skip the dip; balance the tangy chips by alternating bites of raw vegetable.In summary, I highly recommend Kettle Brand chips, a great buy on Amazon.com. Results: Kettle Brand chips from Oregon are a must-try. They have a delicious flavor, crispy texture, and are healthier than other chip brands. Pair Spicy Thai chips with a semi-sweet white wine, and enjoy Honey Dijon chips with BBQ dishes. Sea Salt & Vinegar chips go well with raw vegetables. Overall, highly recommended! Available on Amazon.com. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: light golden color, amazing crunch, Kettle Brand, healthier, flavor, no trans fat Negative: x

So I got this and tasted it straight out of the bottle, it tasted like smoky flavored milk - YUCK! I was depressed I was stuck with 4 bottles of this. It sat on my shelf and I forgot about it. Last weekend I tasted a Zevia cream soda and was not pleased with the flavor, it tasted weird and smokey like the LorAnn oil I had gotten. I tried to doctor up the soda with a little SF Vanilla Torani syrup and a tablespoon of heavy cream - IT TASTED AMAZING!!! The odd smokiness was gone and it had a wonderful rich mouthfeel.So I wanted to see if this would help the LorAnn oil too. I put a cup of whipping cream in a bowl and added a teaspoon of vanilla and tasted it, it tasted fine. Then I added ONE DROP of the oil, it is very strong, and stirred it in - IT TASTED SO MUCH BETTER! I whipped it up and put it on fruit and it was such a treat.Now I will always whip a drop of it with vanilla into desserts and whip cream. It was such a happy accident to find out how to use it. When added to vanilla it really adds a new depth of flavor and tastes so different than just out of the bottle or on its own in cream.It is VERY potent so only use a drop and increase after tasting, if you add too much it will ruin the recipe so use a light touch. Results: Initially disliked LorAnn oil, found out that adding it to cream and vanilla enhances flavor. Use sparingly as it is very strong. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: very potent, wonderful, rich mouthfeel Negative: too much will ruin
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 like "Vernor's", and drink it all the time. It is old fashioned drink from Michigan, since 1866, and the labeling was known for its lovely green and gold colors and the gnome character. If you look at the can it is actually called ginger soda instead of ale and is different than typical ginger ale in taste. Vernors has a strong vanilla presence, is smoother and more moist, and sweeter than a ginger ale. It is closer to a cream soda than ginger ale, very good. A ginger ale is more dry, higher in carbonation, and has a spicier bite to it. Vernors has 39 grams sugar per can, versus 33 grams per can for Schweppes Ginger Ale. Neither has caffeine.The recipe has changed a bit over the years mostly in the choice of sweeteners. They use the same high fructose corn syrup that the cost-cutting mega soda companies use, rather than the cane sugar they used to use. The down side to that is that the corn syrup syrup drowns out some of the flavors. Many microbrews are using cane sugar again, although it costs more, to get a better taste. Vernor's is still aged in oak barrels for 3 years, no doubt accounting for the smoothness. All in all a great soda for anytime. The soda is also known, like other ginger drinks, for its use as a home remedy for an upset stomach.Vernor's is a regional soda, and there are many areas of the country you can't find it in. That is why it sells here. They may be selling it in glass bottles again soon, at least there is a page that says so the day I am writing this comment. Search at Amazon for ASIN: B001JK2SEG to see what I mean. Vernors has quite a history, and there are two books at Amazon about the soda. The first is Vernor's Ginger Ale (Images of America: Michigan) ISBN-10: 0738551856. The second book is "The Vernor's Story: From Gnomes to Now" ISBN-10: 0472066978 a book about the company's marketing green and gold packaging with the famous gnome, and Vernor's fans. Results: Vernor's is an old-fashioned ginger soda from Michigan with a distinct taste. It has a strong vanilla presence, is smoother and sweeter than ginger ale. The recipe has changed over the years, now using high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar. Vernor's is aged in oak barrels for 3 years, resulting in its smoothness. It is known for its use as a home remedy for upset stomachs. It is a regional soda and may soon be sold in glass bottles again. There are books available on its history and marketing. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Vernor's, ginger soda, strong vanilla, smooth, moist Negative: corn syrup, drowns flavor, choice of sweetener, recipe change

If you want to find a good flavor substitute for maple syrup, barley malt, or brown rice syrup, this will do nicely. I use Madhava's agave nectar in my baked goods all the time, and am always pleased with the results. At the time I'm writing this, Amazon was out of stock as a vendor. However, when it was in stock, it was priced well for the 2-pack.Other than baking, I've used it to top waffles, pancakes, and in small doses (1/2 teaspoon) added it to oatmeal. A little goes a long way.Using agave nectar: Use 1/3 to 1/2 less agave nectar than you would another sweetener (depending on your taste and the recipe. Recipes with dried fruit need much less), cut the heat in the oven by 25 degrees F; if there is oil in the recipe, cut it by 1/3 (alternately, use a tablespoon or two of sifted coconut flour to absorb more of the liquid -- just don't use too much or your recipe will be dry). Additionally, when baking, make sure to mix it with the wet ingredients prior to adding it to the dry. Most bakers might already know this, but remember to read recipes first because sugar is typically added with dry ingredients (unless beaten with butter first).Agave nectar does not crystalize like other sugars do, so you won't be able to substitute it for corn syrup in making hard candy. However, I highly recommend it for baking. It makes everything moister.If you are looking for less caramel flavor, you'll need to use the light version of this product (equally good in all applications). Results: Madhava's agave nectar is a great substitute for maple syrup, barley malt, or brown rice syrup. It is used in baking and as a topping for waffles and pancakes. Use 1/3 to 1/2 less agave nectar than other sweeteners, reduce oven heat by 25 degrees F, and adjust oil or add coconut flour to maintain consistency. Agave nectar doesn't crystallize like other sugars, making it unsuitable for hard candy. The light version is recommended for a less caramel flavor. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: agave nectar, good flavor, substitute, topping Negative: doesn't cyrstallize,

We have been using 17-Day Diet guided by Low-Glycemic eating for about 6-7 months, with fair success. This amber agave nectar has become our primary sweetener because of the low glycemic effect on blood sugar. The taste is mellow,and the sweetening power is higher than sugar [so you use less], but without the "twang" of honey. the one thing I have not tried it on (still using sugar) is making kombucha - I still use sugar, as I'm not sure it would be a good idea to introduce a raw element into kombucha. But actually, that may just be my own over-caution and nothing related to actual chemistry or circumstance.Our primary uses are sweetening yogurt, using it in the little baking I do, and use in salad dressings, fruit desserts, etc. Because we are limiting our sweets consumption,we don't use a lot of this, but it's nice to have when we need it. I plan to try using it in some homemade jams later this season. I buy it on subscription, and the cost is about 33% less than the local WalMart and more than 50% less than the health food store on this same brand. "Best by" date on the bottles I received in May is 2015. Results: 17-Day Diet success with Low-Glycemic eating; amber agave nectar for sweetening, mellow taste, higher sweetening power, not used in kombucha, primary uses: yogurt, baking, salad dressings; limited consumption; cheaper than local stores, "Best by" date 2015. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: mellow, less than Walmart, good idea, fair success Negative: not used in Kombucha

This is pretty good canned meat. The sausage I used in dirty rice, the hamburger I used for taco salad, the chicken with wild rice, and the pork with stuffing. the turkey I gave to a neighbor because I don't eat it. The various meats are all pretty good quality and was enough for 3 large portions each can. There weren't large chunks of fat or gristle in any of the cans, which I've experienced plenty with some brands of canned meats. The proportion of liquids to meat was fair too, it's not one of those with a spoonful of meat and the rest is liquid either, though it does all need to be cooked and shrinks quite a bit due to high fat content in the meat. None of the meat was seasoned, at all. This is very helpful as the meat can be used with any flavoring. There is a mild "spam"-like texture and taste to the meats(but way better than spam any day), almost a brine or something, that's why I heavily seasoned it. Don't plan on frying anything in the fat from these meats, it gave everything a slightly rancid, soury taste...no idea why! Due to the higher calories and higher price, I will only stock this as emergency food. I will buy more for that reason. Results: Good quality canned meats, used in various dishes like dirty rice, taco salad, chicken with wild rice, and pork with stuffing. Turkey given to a neighbor. No large chunks of fat or gristle. Fair proportion of liquids to meat. Meat not seasoned, versatile for any flavoring. Mild "spam"-like texture and taste, but better. Avoid frying in the meat fat, gives a slightly rancid taste. Higher calories and price, stocking for emergencies. Will buy more. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: good canned meat, emergency food, good quality, proportion Negative: frying, slightly rancid, soury taste, higher calorie, higher price

This product is made by Annie's Inc. in Berkely, CA--made in the USA. The product maintains excellent organic integrity, and it is stored in 100% recycled paperboard packaging.The manufacturers also support family farms - use organic milk, butter, and yogurt. The product takes approximately 10 min. to prepare. The product contains dairy and wheat, and it has been exposed to equipment that also processes egg and soy products.The ingredients include organic whole wheat shell pasta, organic valley organic cheddar cheese (organic cultured pasteurized milk, salt, non-animal enzymes), organic whey, salt, and sodium phosphate.This is a mildly flavored whole wheat macaroni & cheese dinner.

The pasta was produced without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or persistent pesticides.This pasta is simple to make and it has a wonderful texture. There are 2.5 servings per box (2.5 oz). Each serving contains 250 cal., 4.5 g fat, sat. 2 g fat, 10 mg cholest., 570 mg sodium, 43 g carb., 5 g fiber, 6 g sugars, 9 g protein.However, the cheese envelop is not exactly sufficient even when you add the butter, milk, or yogurt. To add that wonderful rich smooth cheese flavor that accompanies mac and cheese, you will have to add your own organic cheese.The cheese packet falls flat on flavor and it does not contain a sufficient amount to coat the pasta. I give this mac and cheese a 5/5 on packaging, 5/5 for maintain organic integrity, 5/5 on texture, and a 2/5 for flavor. Results: This Annie's Inc. macaroni and cheese is made in the USA with excellent organic integrity and eco-friendly packaging. It uses organic dairy ingredients and supports family farms. The preparation time is around 10 minutes. It contains dairy and wheat and may have come into contact with egg and soy products during processing. While the mac and cheese is easy to make and has a great texture, the cheese packet lacks sufficient flavor and coating for the pasta. Adding additional organic cheese is recommended. Overall, it receives high ratings for packaging, organic integrity, and texture, but a lower rating for flavor.

This is pretty good regular style soy sauce. But it is not super-wonderful-better than any other good quality soy sauce you can buy in an Asian market. The main value is as a unique gift. In the Japanese soy sauce world, there are 4 types: regular, mild (usukuchi), for raw fish (sashimi) and light colored. Bluegrass soy sauce is regular style. Compared to Kikoman (a good commercial brand that is widely available) Bluegrass starts saltier, is flat in the middle, then ends with a complex & interesting flavor. Kikoman is less salty initially and has a round, full flavor in the middle. Doesn't have the complex ending flavors. For me, the initial saltiness of Bluegrass is a minus and Kikoman's full middle flavor is a plus. I prefere Kikoman, especially for dipping sushi where the flavor is more direct. But I lived in Japan for many years and am used to the standard Japanese flavor. I haven't tried Bluegrass blended in other food as a background flavor, which is how soy sauce is usually used. Bluegrass is a perfectly good soy sauce. Each brand has a different flavor and everyone has their favorite. If you want a unique Kentucky gift for an Asian friend, this is different than the standard bottle of Bourbon or box of chocolate. Results: Bluegrass soy sauce is a good gift option with a unique flavor compared to regular soy sauces. It starts salty, becomes flat, and ends with complex flavors. Kikoman, on the other hand, is less salty with a round and full flavor. Personally, I prefer Kikoman for dipping sushi. Bluegrass is still a good soy sauce, and each brand has its own distinct flavor. It can be a unique Kentucky gift for Asian friends. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: good, regular size, unique gift, Bluegrass, perfect Negative: x

This coffee is good but, for me, it's nothing special. I will buy it again because it's a nice, mellow blend, and my favorite daily coffee, Nabob, must now be shipped from Canada. However, on my first order to the Canadian company, it's taking a long time to be delivered (still haven't gotten it).The reason for only three stars is not about the quality of the coffee but the fact that the description of the product does not mention the fact that this "Kona coffee" is actually only 15% Kona. If you look very carefully at the photo of the disc, you can see that information, and there's a legal disclaimer saying that the product may not match exactly with the description. So it's my fault for not reading more carefully, but I was happy to see what I thought was 100% Kona and wasn't careful. I've bought the 15% Kona before in a local store and did know that there was such a product in the Tassimo discs, but I just read the product title and ordered.As I said, the coffee tastes good, the amount of coffee is the usual amount, neither the small cups of some European coffees or the extra large size, and I would recommend the coffee. Just be aware that this is blended coffee with only 15% Kona. And don't expect it to come in a flash, as it did when Amazon Prime delivered it. Results: This coffee is good but not exceptional. It's a mellow blend, but only 15% Kona. Delivery is slow. The three-star rating is due to the coffee being only 15% Kona, which was not clearly stated in the product description. The taste and quantity of the coffee are satisfactory, and I would recommend it with the awareness that it's a blend with only 15% Kona. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: nice, mellow blend, daily coffee\ Negative: nothing special, not match with description, long time

The Milka Naps Mix Gift Box is a fun, unique gift for those tired of Whitman's and the usual American brands. Nothing wrong with Whitman's, but sometimes a change of look and flavor is nice.As a sampler, it provides only a few of the Milka options. Four flavors are here: noisette, hazelnuts, alpine milk and strawberry. All are delicious, though I don't like strawberry/chocolate (in any candy) personally, and give those away to eager friends. The Naps box are perfect for coffee tables and as a standalone dish at work.Milka and its famous purple cow, is owned by Kraft, is an eastern European chocolate originally produced in Switzerland and is available in Germany, Austria, Hungary and other nearby countries.Distribution is still weak in the United States, but can be found increasingly in larger cities. Usually, then, it is found only in international grocery stores, though it pops up in eclectic grocers from time to time. It has been around 100 years. Whether or not Kraft will change the recipe has yet to be seen. For now, the texture and taste are better than Hershey's and Nestle. It is a smoother, creamier basic chocolate.I fully recommend the Milka Naps Mix Gift Box.Anthony Trendleditor, HungarianBookstore.com Results: The Milka Naps Mix Gift Box is a unique and enjoyable gift for those seeking a change from the usual American brands. It offers a selection of delicious Milka flavors, including hazelnuts and alpine milk. While distribution in the United States is limited, it can be found in international grocery stores and occasionally in eclectic grocers. Milka, known for its smooth and creamy texture, surpasses the taste of Hershey's and Nestle. Overall, I highly recommend the Milka Naps Mix Gift Box. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: unique, enjoyable, better than Hershey's, delicious, noisette, hazelnuts, alpine milk, strawberry Negative: weak distribution

I am a preschool teacher and do a G is for Gingerbread unit every January. I was on vacation during Christmas and when I got back not a gingerbread kit was to be found. Which is odd. I needed one for my preschool class and needed it in less then a week. I looked everywhere and could not find ont. So I had one overnighted from Amazon on NYE and it came yesterday. I pick this one because of the Rudolph theme. The gingerbread itself came broken. Like unable to use would need a glue gun to get it to work broken. It's non returnable. I called Amazon, they were nice enough to order me a second one since I spend a ton of money each year with them. This one also came broken. I order A LOT from Amazon and things do not come broken. I think only one time have I had returned something because it was broken in 100's of orders. But two of the same thing in a row?! I think it's the kit itself and nothing to do with how it was shipped. I will say most come UPS and overnight comes Fed Ed. But it's bubble wrapped very well. I think the gingerbread isn't good and cracks in shipping and breaks off. The rest of the kit is very cute. The first kit the candies had spilled out and where a mess in the box. But the second kit while the gingerbread was all broken up again the candies were all in their bags. Too bad. But I would try something else, stay away from this one. Results: I needed a gingerbread kit for my preschool class but couldn't find one, so I ordered from Amazon. The first kit arrived broken, and the second one as well. I think it's the kit's fault, not the shipping. The candies were a mess in the first kit, but intact in the second. Overall, I suggest avoiding this kit and trying something else. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: bubble-wrapped, very cute Negative: avoid, spilled out, broken, not returnable

I bought this for my one year old Cocker. However all the dogs love it. All their coats look better, they all shed less, eat less, use the bathroom less, my Cocker used to have this one chronic ear since the time I have had her as a puppy that it just gave her problems. It seems to have cleared up, no more smell. Her eyes give her less problems. And my 7yr old Yorkie he eats less, he used to throw up all the time had the most sensitive tummy. Our black lab mix, hot spots and she would just lick her fur off. All these great changes in a matter of a month. I do mix it roughly 50/50 with Naturals dog food blend. They are doing great.Sept 2012I love this breed specific food, however I just went to place my next bi-monthly order and I am shocked at the price hike in just over a month! I paid$41.79 on Aug 3 for a 25lb bag and here it is Sept 20Th and the price has is now $53.94, a difference of $12.15 in price! This is a huge amount to go up considering that I am assuming this is a price gouge; due to the speculation over crops :( I will look to my local vet for this product. I can get a large bag now less at Petco as well with the discounts they offer. They will order a larger bag if you ask. Results: This dog food is amazing. Dogs' coats improve, shed less, eat less, and have fewer bathroom trips. Chronic ear and eye problems clear up. Price for the food increased significantly in a month. Will explore local vet or Petco for cheaper options. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: coats look better, shed less, less bathrooms, no more smell Negative: price gouge, price hike

I'm not sure how you review something that's as subjective as taste, but suffice to say that if you like chocolate and graham cracker, you'll like this (it doesn't taste exactly like either of those, but that's the closest analogy for me). The sticks themselves are a cracker of some kind, dipped in chocolate, with one end left just normal cracker to you don't get your fingers covered in chocolate while eating.Here's some of the nitty gritty details - each of the boxes contain two individually sealed packets, that contain probably 20 or so of the sticks. The packets themselves are really cleverly designed, with a little slit cut in the folded part, you just grab both sides and pull, and it opens up the package without any hassle - gotta love Japanese product design! :) Another nice design touch is that when you open it properly the grabbing-side of the stick is right at the top.Each of the packets has 210 calories (90 from fat), and about 80mg of sodium - so in terms of snacks this is a pretty good option. It does contain milk, wheat, soybeans and sheanut - so if any of these are an issue for you, then you'll want to pass. It also says on the packaging that the facility they're manufactured in also processes eggs and peanuts - the product doesn't use either of them, but the disclosure is nice if you're particularly sensitive to either.Overall a great snack at a great price - the 10 pack really is 20 of the packets, so that's quite a few snacks. One note, if you live in a hot climate, don't order them in the summer because they will melt together (in shipping)! Duh! :) Results: These chocolate-dipped cracker sticks taste like a mix of chocolate and graham cracker. They come in individually sealed packets with clever packaging. Each packet has 210 calories and is a good snack option. Contains milk, wheat, soybeans, and sheanut. Facility also processes eggs and peanuts. Great snack at a great price, but avoid ordering in hot climates as they may melt during shipping. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: cleverly designed, packets, good option, Japanese product, chocolate, cracker Negative: melt together, summer, hot climate

Pocky is just plain fun to eat. I discovered these snacks at an anime convention (though I'd heard about them before and had seen manga characters eating them). They are very, very slim sticks of biscuity stuff (the flavor to me is a cross between waffle cones and pretzels) that have a charming tiny popping crispness. The chocolate flavor, a nice non-bitter, non-dark, generically pleasing choco-taste, seems to be the most popular (given how fast they sell out at cons), but I prefer the flavor of the strawberry which is like strawberry ice cream. Very nice.This is by no means a health food (it's in the same category as a cookie, it's got fat and sugar and non-healthful ingredients). But hey, it's junk food. We all know it's supposed to be OCCASIONAL and not habitual in the diet. Unless you're really prone to binge-eating or can't stop yourself a whole one of these smaller boxes is not a huge calorie splurge if you stick to a reasonable number. 10 of the chocolate pocky sticks will set you back 125 calories with 5 grams of fat, 3 of them saturated. I wouldn't recommend just scarfing down multiple boxes. In fact, just nibble these slowly and have fun with the cool texture effect.If you love the flavor of coconut-chocolate together (like Almond Joy) try the coconut chocolate ones. They're really so good, oh man. Hubby says the taste reminds him of the Girl Scout 'caramel delights" cookies which are, in turn, similar to the old Yes Yes cookies (from the seventies or so).Anyway, if you have read manga or seen anime with young folks eating those stick-looking treats, or seen footage of cute Japanese girls nibbling at skinny little stick treats, this is what they were eating. :) Fun treats.However, with this crazy hot summer, I'd recommend you look for a local retailer or wait until fall's cooler weather. You might get a sticky, clumped mess of Pocky sticks in this deep summer weather. (Look for local stores that specialize in Japanese anime or manga and they'll likely carry Japanese snacks like these. In South Florida, Tate's Comics has them in a variety of flavors..and FRESH and NOT MELTED). Results: Pocky is a fun snack with slim biscuity sticks dipped in chocolate or strawberry flavor. It's like a cross between waffle cones and pretzels. Not a health food but okay in moderation. Coconut chocolate flavor is recommended. Popular in manga and anime. Avoid ordering in hot weather to prevent melting. Look for local stores specializing in Japanese snacks. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Pocky, fun to eat, popping, crispiness Negative: prone to binge eating, huge calorie splurge, sticky, clumped up
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 must qualify for some sort of deceptive packaging award. The box only contains 5 bars and the wrappers are smaller than normal, so at least 50% of the interior of the box is air. Then when you unwrap the bar you find they are only about 60% the length of a "normal" snack bar. The rest of it is empty air inside the wrapper. If they were to not include wrappers those 5 bars would occupy less than 25% of the space inside the box.As far as taste goes they are so-so. On the dry side with a hint of berry flavor. Celiacs, who are used to inferior products, won't be disappointed in the taste of this one.I've also had their cookies and they suffer from the same sort of deceptive packaging. The picture on the side of the box shows what most of us would consider a normal sized cookie. But when you open the box you find that it mostly contains a plastic tray holding cookies about the size of a quarter.I really want to like this company. They seem to be trying hard and coming out with new products and keeping allergens out of the production process. That is why I've continued to try their products. I bought their granola many times, always wanting to like it, but it is some of the worst food I've ever had. The "clusters" are hard as the partially popped kernels at the bottom of your bag of popcorn and more fitting for gerbils than people.All in all I would not recommend Enjoy Life foods. Results: Deceptive packaging with mostly air inside. Snack bars are smaller than expected with a mediocre taste. Cookies are tiny despite the misleading box picture. The company tries to cater to allergens but falls short in taste and quality. Granola clusters are hard and unpleasant. Not recommended to buy. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: deceptive packaging, empty air, inferior product, dry, so-so

For those looking for a more exotic tea drinking experience and who like white Jasmine tea, Numi's Flower Jewel is worth a look. About the size of a gum-ball, these jewels slowly open in water to form a flower shape around the central amaranth flower. They are meant to be decorative so glass teapot is a must when preparing this tea.Decorative does not mean tasteless. As a white tea, the flavor is mild, but rich and soothing. The jasmine is wonderful but does not overpower the tea. I have had stronger jasmine teas, but this one is quite balanced and tasty. I used a small glass pot when preparing it and was able to get more than 7 yummy infusions out of the jewel before the flavor and scent began to fade. The white tea tips are plentiful and of a high quality and don't get bitter if seeped for long periods.I must deduct some points though for the high price to tea ratio and the fragility of the flower jewels. Pouring hot water directly on them can cause pieces to fall of and after the 3rd or 4th infusion more of the flower starts to fall apart, though to be fair the main flower shape remains fairly intact. Some even come out of the box starting to missing the central flower or bits of leaf. Better packaging might solve this.If you want a tea experience that looks as good as it tastes and smells, or are entertaining and want a conversation piece, then Numi Tea Flower Jewel should be on your short list. Results: Numi's Flower Jewel offers a unique tea experience with white Jasmine tea. The tea jewels open up in water, forming a flower shape. The flavor is mild, rich, and soothing, with balanced jasmine notes. Multiple infusions can be enjoyed. However, the price-to-tea ratio is high, and the jewels are fragile, prone to falling apart. Improved packaging is needed. Recommended for those seeking an aesthetically pleasing tea experience. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: exotic, mild, soothing, rich, Negative: fall apart, scent began to fade, fragility, ratio

Both our twins love this one right from the start but it's not loaded with lentils (see ingredients below). We introduced it when they were 7 months old and now they're 10 months. I'm glad they are eating something green because we couldn't get them to eat the one with peas when we tried at 7 months, but we got them to eat the peas later at 9 months.Their favorite vegetable is sweet potato and we've also tried sweet potato with cinnamon. They love all the fruit varieties.I'm glad they love this one because lentils and brown rice form a complete protein, although a view of the ingredients shows that lentils is not one of the prime ingredients.This one also has carrots and I've heard all babies like carrots. I don't know if they would like it without the carrots. I haven't seen this one - lentils and brown rice - in our local stores, so I'm glad to get it here. Along with some others, we get this one with the subscription. Of course, with twins one is forced to buy more in bulk and we're so busy that it's great to get these delivered.The packaging is excellent. I've ordered an unbelievable number of cases of jars of different types and only had one jar arrive broken.Ingredients per label: Water, organic apples, organic carrots, organic brown rice, organic lentils, organic canola oil.This has 70 calories, 10% protein, 100% vitamin A, 4% vitamin C, 2% calcium and 4% iron.I'm informed that the daily intake percentage is based on an adult. Results: Our 10-month-old twins love this baby food with organic apples, carrots, brown rice, and lentils. It provides a complete protein despite lentils not being a prime ingredient. They enjoy the sweet potato and fruit varieties too. The packaging is excellent, with reliable delivery. It's not available in local stores, so we appreciate the subscription service. Each serving has 70 calories and provides essential nutrients. Note that the daily intake percentage is based on an adult. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: varieties, excellent packaging Negative: forced to buy in bulk

I am a coffee fanatic but have always stayed away from these because I never liked instant coffee and my assumption was that this would be similar. I really enjoy the Starbucks VIA instant coffee - but I drink so much, it is rather expensive so I thought I would give this a try. Both my wife and I were pleasantly surprised with the taste. I don't think it equals fresh brewed but it is very acceptable. I bought my first 38 pack at my local grocery store for about $7. That seemed a little high but I figured I would check online to find the best price. As I started calculating all of the online prices, they are charging about $7 bucks for the 19 count. I would suggest that you check your local grocery stores as you might be able to find it cheaper. So you don't have to do the math...$7 / 38 = .184 per single. Online price $27 / 114 = .236 (shipping not calculated in). Looking at a supposed discount coffee supplier, you can get a case of 12 boxes for $69, no sales tax and free shipping...sounds like a great deal?? 12 x 19 = 228 singles so $69 / 228 = .302 per single - the most expensive at all. Results: As a coffee lover, I was hesitant to try this instant coffee but was pleasantly surprised by the taste. While not equal to fresh brewed, it is acceptable. I initially bought a 38-pack for $7 at a local grocery store, which seemed high. Online prices are around $7 for a 19-count, so I recommend checking local stores for better deals. The math shows that online prices can be more expensive, even with bulk options. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: taste, acceptable Negative: local grocery cheaper

On a trip to Italy, muesli is what all the hotels had for breakfast as their cold cereal and I loved it. Imagine how excited I was when I saw that Kellog's sold this product. What did I learn?: despite the similar name, this cereal is quite unlike European-style muesli. While the overall mix of grains and fruits is similar, this cereal is mostly a flake cereal, while a true muesli has no cereal flakes at all."Real" muesli is made of rolled (not flaked) grains; this has pluses and minuses. On the plus side, milk does not turn European mueslis to mush in a couple of minutes like it does flake cereals. On the minus side, European mueslis have to be soaked in milk or yogurt for about ten minutes or so (i.e. while you are in the shower, or while the coffee is brewing) or the cereal will be a bit on the chewy side. For those that are concerned about eating processed foods, rolled grains have been processed less than flaked ones. (Rolled grains are lightly steamed and then rolled and lightly toasted; flaked grains are fully steam-cooked until they are mush, pressed into flakes, fully baked and then usually sprayed with sugar to extend "time-to-mushiness.") And certainly only the Kellog's product contains HFCS.You owe it to yourself to try one of the many other mueslis from Amazon (or better yet, single boxes from a local health-foods store if you have one) and see what you prefer. I eat the Bob's Red Mill product available on Amazon (and one of my local grocery chains) instead of this, and am much more satisfied. I haven't tried Familia (but I'm not crazy about the idea of the "fruit flakes"), and the Dorset products are too fruit and nut heavy for me. The other products are a hair more expensive than the Kellog's, but I'm willing to plunk down an extra dime or so per breakfast for a far superior product.I'm surprised Quaker doesn't sell a muesli product... Given that they have to be the largest producer of rolled grains in the U.S., you'd think it would be a natural fit for them. Results: Kellogg's Muesli is not like European-style muesli. It consists mostly of flake cereal, while true muesli has no flakes. European mueslis require soaking to avoid chewiness. Rolled grains in muesli are less processed than flakes. Kellogg's product contains HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). Try other mueslis from Amazon or local health-food stores for a superior product. Bob's Red Mill is a satisfying option. Quaker is surprising for not offering a muesli product considering their rolled grain production. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: contains HFCS, flake cereal
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. It's no secret that high fructose corn syrup is detrimental to your health. Unfortunately, it's also no secret that it has replaced other forms of sugar in a disturbingly large number of manufactured foods. Even worse is that most high fructose corn syrup is made from genetically modified corn.Since the late 1980s, HFCS has replaced regular table sugar, honey, and similar sweeteners in practically everything. Prolonged consumption of HFCS is now the topic of much debate and we are learning that it can cause long-term damage to the body.High Fructose Corn Syrup Dangers1. Significant Risk of Weight Gain & Obesity2. Increased Risk of Developing Type-2 Diabetes3. Hypertension and Elevated "Bad" Cholesterol Levels4. Long-Term Liver Damage5. Mercury Exposure from HFCSKelloggs and other manufacturers know this and are slowly getting rid of this sweetner. Look at the cover of Post Rain Bran. They are advertising that it contains NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.I applaud them for this. High Fructose Corn Syrup is made from genetically modified corn from Monsanto which uses systemic pesticides in their seeds which is causing Colony collapse disorder in bees. I am a bee keeper and have been avoiding all products with HFCS in them to save my family and the bees. Watch vanishing of the Bees,Food Matters and Food Inc. They are all sold on Amazon. Excellent movies which will change your health dramatically and the way you think and eat. Results: High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is detrimental to health and has replaced other sweeteners in many foods. It can lead to weight gain, obesity, type-2 diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol levels, liver damage, and exposure to mercury. Manufacturers like Kellogg's are gradually removing HFCS from their products. HFCS is made from genetically modified corn linked to systemic pesticides causing harm to bees. Avoiding HFCS is important for personal health and bee conservation. Watch documentaries like "Vanishing of the Bees," "Food Matters," and "Food Inc." for eye-opening insights. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: sold in Amazon Negative: diabetes, hypertension, obesity, HFCS
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, these cubes are expensive; in fact, I almost gave them four stars for the expense. Regardless, these sugar cubes are my favorite sugar product. I've tried every brown sugar and cane sugar product you can find on Amazon and in your grocery store, and none of them compare to the rich, sweet, unique flavor of the brown sugar cubes by La Perruche. Because I've tried so many brown sugar products, I believe the difference is the terroir, or the ground/land, where this sugar is grown. La Perruche sugar cubes are made from African grown sugar; more specifically, sugar grown in Swaziland and/or the Congo. Also, the cubes are denser than many sugar cubes. I don't know from a scientific perspective how this is accomplished, but the cubes are not regularly sized, but are large and irregularly shaped, and heavier/sturdier than "cut" cubes by other producers.The flavor is a rich, distinct and more molasses-y flavor than other brown sugar cubes, and is somewhat darker as well. I wish I could describe the flavor better, but it has been several months since I was able to find a somewhat affordable supply. BTW, now that this product is being sold with free shipping via Amazon Prime, I just purchased several boxes - it is a much better deal as of the date of this review than it was a few months ago. Recommended! Results: La Perruche brown sugar cubes are my favorite despite being expensive. The unique flavor is attributed to the terroir of African sugar from Swaziland and/or the Congo. The denser, irregularly shaped cubes offer a rich, molasses-y taste. The flavor is distinct and darker compared to other brown sugar cubes. Despite the cost, purchasing with free shipping via Amazon Prime is now a better deal. Highly recommended. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: favorite, recommended, rich flavor, mollasses-y flavor, brown sugar Negative: expensive
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. Nature's Recipe is now a division of that mega company Del Monte Foods. The neat thing about this food is that it really does look like the photograph on the bag. It consists of smallish kibble with pieces of dried carrots and peas mixed in. When the bag was first opened the girls ate small amounts of Farm Selects unmixed and readily took to it. Since then they've been eating it mixed with their Blue food. I thought Evie and Piper might fuss with the dried vegetables in there, but they don't specifically target the vegetables to leave behind.The quality of this food is obvious to one who reads the ingredient list. Only one ingredient, that animal digest, makes me cringe a little. The girls don't mind it a bit. For goodness alone I can heartily recommend this natural food, but the price on it is relatively high. Rachel Ray's dry dog food, for example, is about half the price of Farm Stands Selects, and Buffalo Blue is about the same price. For a household like ours with three dogs, the Farm Stands Selects is too pricey to feed the girls exclusively. We'd feel obliged to mix another good, but less expensive food with it. For those with one pet and for whom money is not an issue, I say you can't go wrong with Farm Selects. Results: Nature's Recipe Farm Selects dog food looks like the photograph on the bag and contains small kibble with dried carrots and peas. Dogs readily eat it mixed with other foods. The ingredient list indicates good quality, except for animal digest. The price is relatively high compared to other brands like Rachel Ray and Buffalo Blue. Recommended for those with one pet and no budget constraints, but for households with multiple dogs, it may be too expensive to feed exclusively. Mixing with a less expensive food is suggested. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: look like the photograph, quality, natural food, recommend Negative: animal digest, expensive

Bought Uncle Ray's Wavy's 16 oz potato chips because purchased Uncle Ray's 16 oz barbque potato chips in the past and was very pleased. Oh how wrong we were. Do not purchase the Wavy's chips!!!!!!!!!! They are the quality of buying a no name bag of chips from a roadside service station store; broken, brown, very poor quality. Very, very disappointed. DO NOT.......DO NOT......DO NOT purchase Uncle Ray's 16 oz Wavy potato chipsOCTOBER 03, 2012Bought Uncle Ray's sour cream and onion flavored chips for the 5th shipment with extreme disappointment. The other (4) four shipments were very good which is why we continued to buy this flavor.The additive that when you like an item and start to buy a lot, it will change for the worse is proving to be true for us. This shipment of chips are awful. Bags are extremely deflated, so was expecting to be stale; however, was not so - cannot not explain the semi-flat bags. Chips seem to be the bottom of the barrel flakes. You know when you try to salt your food and the top comes off, the seasoning on these chips is like that. It appears that the top came off a full bottle or these are the bottom of the barrel crumbled chips where the seasoning has covered the chips too, too much. . We just opened (3)three bags just now because the first bags was awful, opened second bag - awful, opened 3rd bag - also was awful. LEFT WITH 6 MORE ,PROBABLY NOT EDIBLE, BAGS. THE CHIPS REALLY APPEAR TO BE THE NOT SO FRESH, BURNED/BOTTOM OF THE BARREL, GET RID OF LEFTOVERS. VERY, VERY, DISAPPOINTED. WILL NOT BUY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Results: Uncle Ray's Wavy potato chips are of poor quality, broken, and brown. The sour cream and onion flavored chips were disappointing, with deflated bags and bottom-of-the-barrel flakes. The seasoning is excessive, resembling the top coming off a salt shaker. Multiple bags had the same issue. Overall, very disappointed and will not purchase again. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: wavy chips, not edible, not so fresh, deflated bags, stale

Just in case, if anyone doesn't know what WHITE tea is, as opposed to green or black, let's quote Wikipedia: "white tea is fast-dried, while green tea is roasted in an oven or pan (while kept moving for even curing). Oolong and black teas are fermented before curing." What does it mean? For me, it translates into my favorite beverage to start the day with and to keep me going through the day. Objectively and scientifically speaking, white tea is said to have more anti-oxidants and less caffeine so, in my view, it's overall better than coffee or the black or green varieties.This particular product, while it comes in tea bags, it's not exactly your 'supermarket' variety. Unlike the cheap teas, black, green, herbal or white that are delivered crushed inside paper bags, the 'Choice' brand is delivered in pyramid shaped, biodegradable, nylon-like bags that ensure that what you get is actual leaves, not some indistinct crushed powder.This being a white tea, 'delicate' and 'subtle' and the required adjectives to use but they may not apply in this case. I found the added flowers to be a little too strong, bordering to overpowering for my taste. The Lychee and Osmanthus aromas can be an acquired taste - think of sweet, green apples for an equivalent more familiar aroma. If it's not 'love at the first sip', give it some time and you may not only tolerate it but prefer it to other flavors. Or not.INGREDIENTS:- organic, fair trade certified White Tea- natural Lychee flavor- organic Osmanthus flavor- contains caffeineThe somewhat off-balance added flavors and the premium price are not likely to turn me into a repeat customer. Time will tell but at this time 3 stars (meaning 'it's Okay') seem to be the fair rating. Results: White tea is a favorite beverage known for its high antioxidants and low caffeine content. The Choice brand offers a unique tea experience with pyramid-shaped, biodegradable bags containing actual leaves. The added Lychee and Osmanthus flavors may be overpowering for some, resembling sweet, green apples. It's an acquired taste that may or may not be preferred over time. The premium price and off-balance flavors make it unlikely for repeat purchases. Rated as 'Okay' with 3 stars. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: favorite beverage, less caffeine, more anti-oxidants Negative: off-balance, added flavor, premium price

My cats (7 of them) love this food so I was glad to see Amazon is carrying it again. The local stores do not carry a 15 lb bag, only the 3.5lbs and 12 lbs. This food is sealed very well, and is fresh. I have tried expensive brands and really cheapo brands of cat food, and so far 9 lives agrees very well with my cats. This food does not "rifle" through them or cause overly offensive litter pan odors (like cheapo cat food) and their digestive and urinary tracts are all healthy. My cats ages range from 3 years to 18 years old, and believe me, this 9 Lives brand and flavor are something they all like. The price is a really good deal especially for prime as the shipping is free.I also buy the Iams in the orange bag for my cats for a variety and putting some of that in a bowl dry as well as wetted down with water in another bowl is something they really love. Again, no intestinal issues or litter pan issues as they have been eating this combination for several years now.If you do try this, or switch your cat(s) over, be patient as it may take a week or so for your cats digestive system to adjust. In the end, I think you will be very pleased with the quality and price.Also, we used to take in foster cats, and fed them this 9 Lives brand, and they all did very well. Results: 9 Lives cat food is loved by all seven of my cats, ranging from 3 to 18 years old. It doesn't cause digestive or urinary issues and doesn't result in offensive litter pan odors. The 15 lb bag is conveniently available on Amazon with free shipping. I also mix it with Iams in the orange bag, which my cats enjoy. Foster cats have thrived on this brand as well. It may take time for your cats to adjust, but the quality and price make it a satisfying choice. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: sealed very well, fresh, digestive, urinary tract Negative: x

For christmas I ordered some coupons from my daughters school for $30.00 off Ohama steaks. I was excited to try them as I have been bombarded with their ads for the last 2 years and I was ready to test them out. I went on-line and looked at their packages and was so looking forward to receiving my package of fine foods and cook them. I made my choice and fell for some of the last min. add-ons, by choice. I went to pay and use the gift cards and well you can only use one at a time, having 2 for $15.00 I naturally thought I was getting $30.00 off the total. With that said I was still willing to go ahead with the order. $129.00 later I had ordered one of the package deals and the add-ons. I received my order ups in 5-7 days packaged in a styro cooler. packaged in the cooler were several cardboard boxes with vacuumed packaged tiny steaks. I am a person who loves to grill and do so about 4 nights a week, so I know a little about meat, and how to cook it. First this is not high end Dry-aged meat or wet aged this is inferior to quality meat that can be bought at a good butcher. The steaks are about $30.00 a pound after shipping and the high prices. The Hamburgers are tiny frozen pucks that are dry. I am so disappointed in the quantity and quality, I really have no words to describe how disappointed I am with this whole deal. To top everything off I received a e-mail coupon for $20.00 off my next order so the coupon that I purchased was $5.00 more than on-line deals. Wow Do yourself a favor and spend your money in a good butcher shop of grocery store!!! Results: I purchased coupons for Omaha Steaks and was excited to try their products. However, I was disappointed with the quality and quantity of the steaks and hamburgers. The meat was inferior to what I can find at a good butcher shop. The prices, even with the coupons, were high. To make matters worse, I received a coupon for a better deal after my purchase. I recommend spending your money at a good butcher or grocery store instead. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: disappointed in quality, dissapointed in quantity, inferior to butcher's meat, dry
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 received 4 of these in my first ever Omaha Steaks order that I received today. I wasn't sure what to expect, but so far, I've been pleased. I tore the plastic open, put the frozen potato on a baking sheet in the oven and put it on 350. 45 minutes later it was done and turned out being delicious. The cheese filling was crispy on-top and the potato itself underneath was nice and soft. No way would they come out as good if put in the microwave, so I'd say oven cooking these is definitely the way to go. Now, you can obviously make your own stuffed baked potatoes for far cheaper then what Omaha charges for these alone, but as long as you get a good deal on the Omaha website, these simply make a great addition to any Omaha steaks order. As delicious are they are though, I wouldn't order a box of JUST these off the site due to the added shipping costs. But like I said, as long as they're part of a nicely priced packaged deal, I'll definitely take them. Actually, I probably wouldn't order any packaged deal in the future from Omaha that didn't include these. A big plus, at least for me, is if you check the ingredients list on these, there's no partially hydrogenated oils, so there's no traces of trans fats, which is very rare with stuffed baked potatoes. Also no high fructose corn syrup, which is another rarity on a food product like this and is always a plus. If you make your own or buy them frozen from your grocery store for example, chances are, the butter used, sour cream, etc. will be full of chemicals, trans fats & high fructose corn syrup. These, not so much. So there is a definite degree of quality with Omahas stuffed baked potatoes. Each potato does have 8 grams of saturated fat, which is 42% the DRV, but that's obviously to be expected with anything that contains bacon, cheese and sour cream. I was also expecting there to be no fiber, but it turns out there's 3grams of fiber per baked potato half. Another plus. Overall, the stuffed baked potato was very tasty and actually relatively healthy, being made with quality ingredients. Results: I received stuffed baked potatoes in my Omaha Steaks order and found them delicious. Oven cooking yielded crispy cheese on top and a soft potato underneath. While making your own may be cheaper, these potatoes make a great addition to an Omaha Steaks order. They don't contain partially hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup, making them a healthier option compared to store-bought or homemade versions. Each potato has 8 grams of saturated fat but also provides 3 grams of fiber. Overall, the stuffed baked potatoes are tasty and made with quality ingredients. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: no partially hydrogenated oils, delicious, cheese filling, microwave Negative: added shipping costs,

After you've made the customary, authentic English trifle with Bird's custard powder you might not want to go back to the usual grocery-store pudding packages. I DID purchase a large quantity of Bird's custard power, the pack of six, but the packs have a longish shelf life, and I enjoyed sending a surprise pack/container to a friend who is originally from England.At Christmas, I will also include a container of Bird's custard powder to special relatives and friends so they can learn how easy it is to make excellent trifle with this product. For my non-English family and friends, I will include laminated instructions based on my own successes with Bird's custard recipe for trifle.English trifle is so easy to make with the following: Bird's custard powder, store-bought pound cake, thawed frozen fruit, some sherry wine (or slightly sweetened juice from the thawed frozen fruit) poured over the small slices of cake. For the final touch, add non-dairy whipped "creme." Delicious and inexpensive! I highly recommend this product and am so pleased to be able to purchase it through Amazon. And the price for the six containers is so very reasonable as to almost be unreal. Go for it! Results: Bird's custard powder elevates trifle-making to another level compared to grocery-store pudding packages. I purchased a large quantity and enjoyed sending surprise packs to friends and relatives. Making English trifle with Bird's custard powder, store-bought pound cake, thawed fruit, and sherry wine or sweetened juice is easy and delicious. Non-dairy whipped "creme" adds the final touch. I highly recommend this product and the reasonable price on Amazon. Give it a try and enjoy! Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: easy, recommend, price, easy, resonable, unreal Negative: x

Oh, I love this pasta! It is thick, chewy, absolutely extraordinary! And made with authentic flavorings to boot! The red are flavored with tomato and red beet powder. The green are flavored with spinach powder and basil powder. The black pastas are flavored with squid ink, the off-white are au naturale. The yellow pasta are flavored with turmeric, the orange with carrot powder. A rainbow of beauty and natural delectable flavor.The pasta are shaped like little cresent moons with a rough exterior to absorb whatever sauce or oil you might use. Because this pasta is so very flavorful, I enjoy it best with a good quality olive oil and some Celtic sea salt. Sometimes I add some tarragon or fresh rosemary, usually not, so I can just savor the pasta alone. It also is excellent with olive oil and fresh grated Parmesan chees on top.With only 1g of fat, 10g of sodium, this can also be a heart-healthy meal.

It's also great with olive oil and Parmesan cheese. With low fat and sodium, high protein, and no added sugars or preservatives, it's a heart-healthy meal. Buying it in bulk from Amazon at half price is a fantastic deal. You won't be disappointed!

Raw Cacao Powder differs greatly in taste than processed Cacao Powder. Commercial cacao powder is often triple fermented and then roasted. Commercial companies are more interested in a product which has no nutritional value but great consistency in flavor. Commercial Cacao Powder is mono tonal in flavor. Raw Cacao is everything that Commercial Cacao isn't. It is a antioxidant super-food which has no equal. The taste does vary slightly from one part of the year to the next. As to taste, it has a wonderful intoxicating tannin like aroma with mild overtones of Mahogany. In foods it has a complexity which some cooks will absolutely love while the others who read from the book may want to go back to there standard one dimensional cacao. In baking, I believe it goes well with other flavors such as Almond Extract. If you want to do an extraordinary butter cream icing with a tad of Almond extract, your icing will have no equal. In chocolate cake I personally would go heavy and do a buttermilk or sour cream cake. The acid helps to unify and amplify flavors. I like making cake with 60% cake flour which is about has about 5% wheat gluten and 40% rice flour. The reason for this should be obvious. The heavy texture that rice flour imparts makes your cake stand proud and one bite is then never more than enough.Raw Cocoa powder is rich in polyphenols, such as catechins and procyanidins, and has been shown to inhibit low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and atherogenesis in a variety of models. Human studies have also shown daily intake of cocoa increases plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and decreases LDL levels although the drug companies having endeavored to understand the mechanism in which this happens. Results: Raw cacao powder is a superfood with unique taste and nutritional benefits. It differs greatly from processed cacao powder, which lacks nutritional value and complexity. Raw cacao has a tannin-like aroma with Mahogany overtones and adds complexity to recipes. It pairs well with flavors like almond extract and is perfect for extraordinary buttercream icing or chocolate cake. Raw cacao is rich in polyphenols that can inhibit LDL oxidation and improve HDL levels. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: raw cacao powder, antioxidant, rich in polyphenols Negative: x

I have recently been on a low carb diet, as I find that I can no longer tolerate even natural sugars like agave, honey, and dates. These raise the blood sugar which spikes the insulin, a hormone whose message is "store fat!" Insulin also causes the kidneys to retain water and therefore I would bloat from a high carb diet.My dilemma is that I love sweets--and now it is not a problem, thanks to products like stevia, a natural plant that has safely been used in parts of the world as a sweetener for hundreds of years. It has no calories and no impact on the blood sugar (although for some people there might be a bit, as the brain is tricked into thinking it is getting sugar). Stevia used to be legal in the USA only as a cosmetic product because of politics: companies that made low calorie sweeteners such as aspartame did not want competition. Yet, aspartame gave me headaches and even sometimes symptoms of multiple sclerosis. So I would use stevia at times, but the aftertaste was bad--and to be honest, I wasn't too crazy about the "during taste" either.Then I tried NuNaturals. This product is awesome and like no other stevia I have tried. It is not only delicious but also has no aftertaste (unless you put in way too much--a common mistake by people new to this). It comes in tablets and in powdered form (in a bottle or handy packets with individual servings). It also comes in alcohol-free liquid form and even in vanilla flavor. Unlike aspartame (which becomes even more toxic when heated) stevia can be used in baking. NuNaturals has a stevia baking blend just for that. (Since I am a raw fooder, I can't tell you how it tastes, but I am sure it is good, judging by their other products.)Thanks to these great products, I can do a low carb raw diet but not be deprived of my sweets! Results: The person follows a low carb diet and cannot tolerate natural sugars like agave, honey, and dates due to their impact on blood sugar levels and insulin response. They recommend NuNaturals stevia products as they have no aftertaste and come in various forms for different uses, including baking. On top of it has no calories and have a minimum impact on blood sugar levels. Thanks to these products, they can enjoy sweets while following their low carb and raw food diet. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: stevia, in tablets, in powdered Negative: x
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 mixed feelings about NuNaturals Nustevia White Stevia with Maltodextrin Powder and will probably not purchase it again. Don't get me wrong, it's a great tasting stevia extract and very easy to use, but it is just 6.4 percent stevia and 93.6 percent maltodextrin filler. In other words only 6 pennies of each dollar you spend on this stuff is buying you high quality stevia extract powder. In my opinion, this is unnecessarily dilute; however, it does make it exceptionally easy to measure. If the labeling said 6.4% stevia extract, I would have passed on this from the beginning as I can get 70% dry stevia extract of the same quality for much less money per serving of stevia. If this is your first time buying stevia, go for it as it's easy to use and tastes great. If you're accustomed to buying and using concentrated stevia extracts, you will be probably be disappointed by the low concentration of this product's mixture.Pros:- 5-star taste- Easy to measure- Perfect for first-time stevia users- 3/4 tsp = ~1 tbsp cane sugarCons- Only 6.4% stevia- Not cost-competitive with 70% or pure dry stevia extracts- 3/4 tsp = ~1 tbsp cane sugarOverall, a good product but not the best value. I would given it 4 stars if the product labeling didn't try to hide the fact that it's just not very potent. For about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of this product, you can buy concentrated stevia powders and cut them yourself with a low-cost filler like maltodextrin and come out ahead (or just use them full strength, which is often easier once you get used to the sweetening power of pure stevia).In case you're wondering where I got the 6.4% (by mass) value from, this is how I calculated it. On a precise scale, I found the density of this product to be 2.5 grams per teaspoon. The label says it contains 40mg per 1/4 tsp. Thus, 1 tsp has 160mg stevia extract in 2500mg mixed powder. The concentration (mass) comes to 64mg stevia per gram of product or 6.4 percent by weight. Pretty weak stuff, but still much sweeter than cane sugar. Results: NuNaturals Nustevia White Stevia with Maltodextrin Powder is easy to use and tastes great, but it's only 6.4% stevia and mostly filler. If you're new to stevia, it's fine, but if you're used to concentrated extracts, you'll be disappointed. It's not cost-effective compared to higher concentration alternatives. The labeling hides its lack of potency. You can make your own mix for less. It contains 6.4% stevia. It's weak but sweeter than cane sugar. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: nunaturals nustevia white stevia, maltodextrin powder, dilute Negative: low concentration

There are many workdays when I only have a few minutes for lunch or (all too often) dinner. On these days, Dr. McDougall's products are lifesavers! I keep some fresh, washed veggies in my office fridge and can have a great meal ready in 5 minutes. Just microwave this one, for instance, while cutting up some broccoli, peppers, a carrot, and whatever else I have around (I also added half of a slim yellow squash the other day, cut in little "twigs" - delicous!) By the time you're through cutting, you'll have finished with cooking the soup and the soup's "standing" time will be almost over. (It needs a few minutes to thicken up.) Take a tablespoon of the broth and a tablespoon of water, add the veggies and the liquid to a big bowl, toss the veggies in the liquid, and microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds. When through, dump the soup and noodles on top and you have a delicious, healthy meal. The men in my office come sniffing around when the aroma of the soup comes out of the microwave -- several are now also fans, despite being initially worried by the fact that the meal is vegan. When I am organized enough to remember to wash and bring it in, I add a spring onion on top (I just use an office scissors to cut it.) If you can afford the calories, a few drops of toasted sesame oil is a nice addition, as well, as is tamari. YUMMY! Results: Dr. McDougall's products are a lifesaver for my quick lunches or dinners. I microwave their soup while cutting up veggies, then mix them together for a delicious meal in minutes. The soup thickens while the veggies cook, and it's a hit with my colleagues, despite being vegan. I sometimes add a spring onion and a few drops of toasted sesame oil or tamari for extra flavor. It's a yummy and healthy option for busy days. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Dr. McDougall's products, ready in minutes Negative: vegan
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. For a 220 calorie dish that can sit in your desk drawer indefinitely, this really isn't bad. It's certainly better than Chef Bouyardee or Easy Mac or actual Cup of Noodles. I've only ever had one other Dr. McDougall's product which was the Tortilla Soup and I much preferred it. I found this one to be a bit bland. It was pretty much just dried Cup of Noodles type noodles with some peanutty powder and a few green onions. I think the peanut flavor could have been more pronounced and I wasn't crazy about the texture of the noodles. I guess I was hoping for a bit more than ramen with peanut sauce.I only gave this three stars because I thought it was a bit of a let down. I liked it but I didn't love it as much as I should have given my love of peanut sauce. I would maybe buy it again at a grocery store if it was on sale but I certainly don't see myself buying them in bulk from amazon. My go-to Desk Drawer food is still Annie Chun's Udon Noodle Soup Bowl. The calorie count is pretty similar (I think Annie Chun's is like 280 or so) but the texture of the noodles is far superior because they use the vacuum sealed pre-cooked noodles. However, if you're not in the mood for soup, these peanut noodles may be a better way to go after all. Results: This Dr. McDougall's peanut noodle dish is decent for a 220-calorie desk drawer option, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The flavor was somewhat bland, and the noodles lacked a satisfying texture. I gave it three stars and might buy it on sale at a grocery store, but it's not something I'd bulk purchase from Amazon. My preferred desk drawer food is still Annie Chun's Udon Noodle Soup Bowl for its superior noodle texture. However, if you're not in the mood for soup, the peanut noodles could be an alternative choice. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: 220 calorie, Dr. McDougall's product Negative: bland, only ramen with peanut sauce

HANDS DOWN the best formula on the market. Sadly, my breast milk dried up so I had to fine a formula. My poor son has so many GI, stomach, gas, crying, reflux, etc issues. We were on Alimentum for over a month. We even tried the ready to eat b/c I heard it was corn free. I also tried the hypoallergenic version by Enfamel. Nothing made him better.After researching DHA/ARA...I found some scary things. Basically, it is made by using chemicals. There are some babies that have had a horrible reaction to this b/c of the toxins. You can google it. Anyway, I found this organic formula that didn't have it in it (you can buy DHA/ARA seperate made from eggs organically and no chemicals). I was nervous...b/c my son had so many issues...I didn't want to make it worse. But I tried it! Seriously, it has changed my son's life! He is a completely different baby! I no longer even give him acid reflux meds anymore...I mean of course it is still there...but that is how much better it is. My son has been on this since he was 6 weeks. I know it says toddler, but if you go to their site it is FDA approved for infants. They say toddler b/c they fully support breast feeding for the first year. It has the same cals, fats, nutrients, vit, minerals pretty much as the other leading brands...it's just organic...no DHA/ARA..and they don't use corn syrup. Seriously, try this formula! Results: After struggling with various formulas due to my son's GI issues, I found an organic formula without DHA/ARA chemicals. Despite my initial nervousness, it has transformed my son's life. His reflux has improved so much that he no longer needs medication. Although labeled as a toddler formula, it's FDA approved for infants. It has similar nutritional content to other brands but is organic and free from corn syrup. I highly recommend giving this formula a try. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: formula, organic, no corn soup Negative: x
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 9 month old originally was spitting up a lot. We had him 1st on Similac regular, then went to Similac Sensitive and finally to Similac Soy. The soy did the trick. He was on similiac soy for the past 6 months. When the Similac recall went through, my wife became disgusted with Similac and suggested we try a new brand. I was reluctant but did so anyway. We reminded ourselves that as babies get older, they become less fussy, less gassy and maybe they don't need SOY anymore if that's what they were used to. So I went to my local Whole Foods store and bought the Lactose Free Baby's only formula. AN instant hit !!!!! My son loves it ! Seriousely. He gobbles it down...all 6 oz in once shot. Before with the similac soy, he would have to take a break in between. My wife actually tasted the milk and said it is delicious compared to similac soy. Well, if adults like it, I am sure babies would too ! I am very happy thus far with our choice. We were going to get Natures Best, but read that the way they extract their DHA is not ideal. Glad I realized that. So far so good ! We always thought that our baby would be stuck with SOY formula...thank's to the similac recall and some good old fashioned parent intuition, we realized that is NOT the case. I am happy about that since SOY can cause some hormonal problems.....babies and adults alike. Thank you Baby's only for making an excellent product ! Results: After trying different Similac formulas for our baby's spitting up issues, we switched to Similac Soy, but became disillusioned after the recall. We decided to try Baby's Only Lactose-Free formula and it was an instant hit. Our son loves, unlike before. My wife even tasted it and found it delicious. We're pleased with our choice and glad to have found an alternative to soy formula, especially in regards about their DHA extraction process. Thank you, Baby's Only, for providing an excellent product. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: delicious, instant hit, less gassy, less fussy Negative: x

Provided you use clean (preferably purified) water to cook this, it can be a great tasting hold over to a main meal. Far superior to most instant noodle packages out there and for the most part, gluten and meat free (except for the shrimp flavor).While some people have remarked on the "over-sized" packaging, this actually allows for a good and thorough mixing of the flavor packets and noodles with little chance of spillage.While the coconut ginger variety tastes good, it may be a bit too subtle for those looking for an actual "taste of THAI." I'd recommend the Thai Peanut noodles for those seeking something with a bit more of a pronounced Thai flavor and highly recommend The A Taste Of Thai Peanut Salad Dressing (added to salads, meats or the Peanut Noodles) for a very spicy Thai experience.Overall for the taste and quantity, the subscribe and save offer provides the best deal. Comparatively speaking in terms of price, Wal-Mart offers most of these noodles a few cents cheaper (compared to the subscription price) but do not seem to carry the Coconut Ginger Variety. At least not at the store near me.If you haven't tried this brand of instant noodles yet, I think you'll be in for a treat. Results: Using clean water, this instant noodle is a tasty option as a holdover meal. It's superior to other instant noodles and mostly gluten and meat-free (except shrimp flavor). The oversized packaging allows for thorough mixing without spills. While the coconut ginger flavor is good, it's subtle. For a more pronounced Thai taste, try the Thai Peanut variety with A Taste Of Thai Peanut Salad Dressing. The subscribe and save offer is the best deal, although Walmart offers slightly cheaper prices. Overall, this brand of instant noodles is a treat worth trying. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: gluten and meat free, far superior Negative: over-sized packaging, walmart offer cheaper

My doggie really likes Newman's Organic better than some other dog foods pet and big-box stores sell. My budget doesn't like Newman's Organic as much as Harmony Farms. It's the compromise that keeps the doggie AND my budget happy. Because he eats it heartily, I don't worry that he's getting enough high quality food. Otherwise he won't eat his food and he'll graze in the trash seeking egg shells and bones to fill the void.There's no barfing, digestion problems or accidents. High Quality food means good digestion, a shiny coat, high energy, bright eyes and a good attitude WITHOUT tons of additional elixers, treats or vet bills. A definite cost effective WIN:WIN for doggie AND me.I've had great results with Newman's Dog Food that I orderd through Amazon BUT there's 5 pounds LESS for about the same price.Psst I'm not an organic fanatic, it's the nutritional value that counts for my fur baby and human kids!Update 3/26/2011: Noticed this has jumped to almost THIRTY BUCKS, will opt for Newman's Organic when the costs per pound are the same...my dog likes BOTH Harmony and Newman, my budget likes the one most cost effective at the time of purchase :)Update 5/17/2012: Last batch Of Harmony Farms I ordered had a rancid oil smell when I opened the bag and the pooch wouldn't eat it as readily as he has in the past. He wouldn't eat for a day and started checking out the trash. I subsequently purchased some canned and pouch foods, cooked brown rice etc as mix-ins to "encourage" him to make it through this pricey bag. Not sure how this is stored before it arrives to my home, BUT the Texas heat can make anything stale/rancid/yucky quickly. I probably should have called Customer Service but felt the replacement would have the same issue due to the HOT weather here. Definitely exploring hot weather alternatives. Results: While Newman's Organic dog food is preferred by my dog, Harmony Farms is a more budget-friendly option that keeps both my dog and my budget happy. My dog eats Harmony Farms heartily, ensuring he gets enough high-quality food without digestive issues. It results in a shiny coat, high energy, and a good attitude. However, I noticed a price increase in Newman's Organic, so I choose whichever brand is more cost-effective at the time. Recently, I encountered a rancid smell in a bag of Harmony Farms, which led me to explore other alternatives for hot weather conditions. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Harmony Farms, good digestion, high nutritional value Negative: had rancid oil, pooch wouldn't eat

A few years back, prompted by the death of one of our dogs due to an inoperable brain tumor, I switched my dogs to foods without corn. I was convinced, right or wrong, that my animal died needlessly because of an over usage of steriods prescribed to cure her constant ear infections. I believe, again right or wrong, that the recurring ear infections were caused by an allergy to corn...which turned out to be the main ingredient in her food! Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox and address the issue at hand...I found this food by accident. The only type the store had was the weight loss formula. Turns out my dogs love it! I haven't seen them so spunky and full of energy. I've got a coon hound and two jack russells (mine are not the "bounce off the wall kind", mine are mellow, laid back kinda dudes!) They gobble this stuff up and seem to stay full...no more begging in the kitchen than normal! Everyone's skin seems smoother, eyes are brighter, heck, I think I'll go have a bowl! All I can say, is if you are looking for a good quality dog food, this is the one for you. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Results: I switched my dogs diet to corn-free food. I stumbled upon this food accidentally, and even though it was the weight loss formula, my dogs love it. They have become more energetic and spunky, and their overall health has improved. Their skin is smoother, eyes are brighter, and they seem satisfied after eating. If you're searching for high-quality dog food, this one won't disappoint. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: without corn, good quality, dogs love it, stay full Negative: x

No more heavy grocery bags for me -- I've just ordered my first bag of Harmony Farms dog food -- and it was delivered to my door by UPS. The food is excellent quality -- I bought this product based on its healthy ingredients; the dogs love it and I love Amazon for making it so easy to buy!July 2010 - one of my dogs has had bouts of inflammatory bowel disease: previously she had to have special food from my vet (Royal Canaan Duck & Potato for the past 4+years) -- She has tolerated, even thrived on, the Harmony Farms food w/o any problems. Each bag of Harmony Farms is about $20 cheaper than the Royal Canaan. Hard to fight. I am a believer.The canned food is great, too.September 2011 -- my dog who has had inflammatory bowel disease in the past (verified by surgery) has never felt better -- she is a wire and has the energy of a 2 yr old dog (she is 7); she is not on any daily medication. This HEALTHY WEIGHT FORMULA has helped her to thrive. Enough protein, not too much fat seem to do the trick. I highly recommend it. Results: I switched to Harmony Farms dog food and it was conveniently delivered to my door by UPS. The quality is excellent, and my dogs love it. One of my dogs with inflammatory bowel disease has thrived on it without any issues. It's much cheaper than the specialized vet food they used to have. The canned food is also great.

To those of you, and there's a lot of us, who are constantly watching our weight and calorie intake,these chips are A-1 in my book.First of all, the flavors are incredible, very tasty and enjoyable. The single serve bags are just the right amount, and a very nice portion might I add, and the calorie intake is only 100 calories for the entire single serve bag.I'm so happy I tried them, I bought the variety pack of single serves and I can't say enough good things about them.They're crispy and crunchy and the flavors aren't too salty, just right.So to those of you who enjoy a nice crunchy savory snack, you can't go wrong with POPCHIPS!!! I'm hooked, now I just have to make sure I limit myself to only 1 - 2 bags a day!!!They really are good and the nutritional information isn't bad at all.So WOO HOO for those of us who can't sit down with a big old bag of Herrs or Utz and just can't seem to stop ourselves from putting our hand back into the bag over and over and over again, don't get me wrong I'm not bashing on Herr's or Utz, I love them both, however they're much higher in calorie than the POPCHIPS.Do yourselves a favor and give them a try, you truely can't go wrong, even my friends/family, who don't have to watch their calorie intake, enjoy them as well, so that's saying something.Hope to read other reviews of happy calorie counting snackers!!!!!Keep on Munching, the Healthy way with "POPCHIPS" snacks.

Despite the plethora of positive product reviews for these snacks, I see no reason to buy them again. Read those positive reviews and compare the content in some of them to the guidelines of a non-profit consumer organization for reviews. They contain a lot of "Wow!" with little specifics that would have been included by a true believer. Weigh the others as you will, but the proof is still in the pudding.The texture is their best asset (if you like that sort of texture); that's about it for me. They appear to be an extruded potato product (many of those out there) with various seasonings that do not impress me, either. The most basic of them puts 160mg of sodium into the TINY .8oz package. If you were a deer, you might eat them for that alone. The fat is reduced, that much is true. But...Unless you are ready to trade fat for sodium, it's no deal. But wait... baked kettle chips, in a 1oz serving, up the fat to... 3G, the same as the .8 of the basic flavor. You got .2OZ free on that one. The baked kettles possess 135mg sodium, vs. 160. These chips give you 1G fiber in .8 vs. 2 in 1oz of baked kettles. This product loses again.The only place you might 'gain' is in carbs 21 for the kettle chips, 15 for these, but remember... you have .2oz extra in the kettle's nutrition info... just about a wash.And then, topping it all - the cost... $0.92 an oz vs $0.44 for baked kettles in subscription. Wow. These wonderful snacks cost $14.72 per pound, packed as they are. The prices will fluctuate... but think about the things you can buy for that money instead. These are microscopic bags (that does not help the environment, either - portion control aside) with product largely deriving its kick from sodium and cheap spices.The most positive thing I can say is the product is packed very well. Lots of air in the bags to protect the chips, and they will mostly arrive intact in their tiny portions in tiny bags. You won't have many crumbs in the bottoms of these little bags, so that is a good thing.But... bottom line... expensive junk "health food". "Wow!". Results: Despite positive reviews, I see no reason to buy . The texture is their best feature, but they appear to be an extruded potato product with unimpressive seasonings. The sodium content is high, and trading fat for sodium is not a good deal. Comparing them to baked kettle chips, the nutritional value is similar, but the price is much higher for these snacks. The portion sizes are small, and the environmental impact is a concern. Overall, I consider them expensive junk "health food." Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: texture is their best assets, fat is reduced, packed very well Negative: extruded potato product, sodium, microscopic bags, review mostly "wow"

They're okay, but not the most amazing thing ever.~ The Good ~Good flavor, no too strong or weak.Crunchy, but not too dry.Plenty of chips in each bag. Not just filled with air.Not greasy, so makes a good on-the-go snack.All natural, using no artificial flavors or colors.~ The Bad ~Sill plenty of fat per bag (3.5 grams per bag of the sour cream flavor) so don't get them expecting them to be low fat.Tastes like a low-fat chip, but with all the fat of regular chips.~ Conclusion ~I'm 50/50 on if I'll order them again. I have a finicky stomach, and so I'm fine with things that taste low-fat and healthy, since those are mostly what I eat. But these have all the fat and calories of chips that are fried and even more than those that are baked, so I'm undecided on if I want more chips that have a healthy taste with all the fat. The all natural ingredients are what make this chip different, and what might bring me back for more. It's definitely one of those snacks you have to try for yourself, and see if you like them or not. Results: These chips have good flavor, a crunchy texture, and a decent amount in each bag. They are not greasy and are made with all-natural ingredients. However, they still have a significant amount of fat per bag, so they don't live up to the expectation of being low-fat. They taste like a low-fat chip but have the fat and calories of regular fried chips. The decision to order them again is 50/50 as they have a healthy taste but contain a high fat content. Trying them for yourself is recommended to see if they suit your preferences. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: plenty of chips, all natural, good flavor Negative: fat, calories
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 won't get into all of the specifics of these chips as they are listed here on Amazon. However, I will talk about the product overall. It is very well packaged, the PopChips bags aren't flimsy or too loud. You don't have to worry much about these getting smashed while they're in a bag with heavier items. They hold their own. When trying new foods, snacks, flavors, I tend to purchase a variety pack so that I can sample everything. Let me tell you, these chips are packed with flavor but, it's not, in my opinion, too heavy or saturated. My favorites are the Barbecue Potato and Cheddar Potato by far. Very realistic, savory flavors. Then, there a couple that are not my favorite but, tasty with time. The Sea Salt and Pepper Potato and the Sea Salt and Vinegar Potato are a bit strong at first and, if you don't like those flavors, I would say you wouldn't like those chips but, they certainly accomplish the taste of those ingredients. Original Potato and Sour Cream and Onion Potato are also tasty but, nothing to necessarily rave about, for me at least. I would not call this a "diet" chip but, a healthy alternative to over processed chips. I saw a few complaints about the PopChips being "too salty" or "high in sodium". The chips can come across salty to a person who doesn't consume much salt but, per bag, these PopChips contain about as much sodium as a cup of plain yogurt. Overall, great buy. You just have to decide if the price tag is okay for you, and for me, it is. Results: The PopChips variety pack is well-packaged and holds up well. The chips are packed with flavor, with Barbecue Potato and Cheddar Potato being the favorites. The Sea Salt and Pepper Potato and Sea Salt and Vinegar Potato have strong flavors. Original Potato and Sour Cream and Onion Potato are tasty but not exceptional. These chips are a healthier alternative to over-processed ones. Some complain about saltiness, but the sodium content is similar to a cup of plain yogurt. Overall, a great buy. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Popchips, healthy alternative, variety, barbecue potato, cheddar potato Negative: too heavy, saturated

I love chips and can easily go through an entire bag in one sitting. With Popchips single serve pouches, I can now feel good about snacking as each bag is only 100 calories. The single serve pouches also help in portion control. The larger bags are a slightly better value, but unless you have astounding self control, I would recommend the single serving option. They are that good! They easily stand up to any of the traditional fried chips I've ever had, and at half the fat and calories, how could you ask for anything more?The variety pack comes in 6 flavors: Original, Sour Cream and Onion, Salt and Pepper, Cheddar, Salt and Vinegar, and BBQ. My favorite flavors are Salt and Pepper and Cheddar. My least favorite is Salt and Vinegar, but I don't like ANY salt and vinegar flavored chip. My only wish is that this variety pack contained the Parmesan Garlic flavor which is VERY good, but extremely hard to find in local stores. I have ordered the Parmesan Garlic flavor in a 24 pack here on Amazon, but prefer the assortment that comes in the variety pack.At ~$17 after the subscribe and save discount, each bag costs only 70 cents. This is a bargain for these great tasting, healthy chips and I highly recommend you try them! Results: PopChips single-serve pouches are guilt-free at 100 calories per bag, with great taste and half the fat of traditional chips. The variety pack offers six flavors, with Salt and Pepper and Cheddar as favorites. Parmesan Garlic is not included but can be purchased separately. At $17 for the pack, each bag costs only 70 cents, making it a fantastic value. Highly recommended! Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: chips, recommend, healthy, 100 calories, traditional fried Negative: x
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 a little hesitant to try these, especially after reading sutch mixed reviews although overall they were positive. However, I liked the idea that they are healthier than regular chips and I figured they would be great for school lunches, quick snacks, etc. I decided to give them a try and figured if we did not like them, they could be donated. I ordered a mixed case the first time around to see which flavors we liked more (or less) and thought that would give us a good sampling. After deciding we liked most of the flavors, we decided to try other ones as well.Despite the flavor preferences, these chips do not taste like cardboard. At first taste, they are a little crunchier and thicker than you might expect. I think this is a good thing, because it means they are not heavily-laden with oil. The 0.8 oz bags are 100 calories each as well, which is much better than the other alternatives and gives you the enjoyment of chips without the extra calories, trans fat, etc.I have included a summary of opinions below from myself, friends and family for each flavor: Sea Salt & Vinegar - Great, the absolute favorite flavor for everyone BBQ - Very good, I'm not crazy about BBQ to begin with but would say this flavor is "sweet" BBQ. Everyone else loved them.Cheddar - Very Good, probably close in preference to the BBQ Original Potato - Good, but a little salty (seems to fluctuate somewhat between bags) Salt & Pepper - Good, everyone liked them but preferred other flavors more Parmesan Garlic - Good, but overall was 50/50. You definitely taste more parmesan than garlic and most people were expecting the latter. Sour Cream & Onion - Not so good, no one really liked these enough to want more or to even finish the bag. I know taste is a very subjective thing, but I hope this review helps someone decide to give these a try. I did get them at a reduced price through subscribe & save, and shortly after my first order, Amazon had them on the Gold Box for an even better price. I think the average price per bag came out to approximately forty six cents a bag and had free shipping under my prime account. Results: Little hesitant to try, I tried PopChips and found them suitable for school lunches and quick snacks. The chips have a crunchier texture and are not overly oily. At 100 calories per 0.8 oz bag, they offer a lower-calorie alternative. Among the flavors, Sea Salt & Vinegar was a favorite, while BBQ and Cheddar were well-received. Original Potato was good but occasionally salty, and Salt & Pepper was enjoyable but not the top choice. Parmesan Garlic had mixed opinions, and Sour Cream & Onion was disliked. With a reduced price through subscribe & save, they were a cost-effective purchase. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: healthier, crunchier and thicker Negative: sour and cream not so good

I am potato chip-addicted. I don't only enjoy potato chips, but I also enjoy any type of potato product. This product really hit the mark for me.I consider these a full-fledged snack. Each bag is packed with chips. They are moderately seasoned, and full of flavor. The consistency is slightly like a popcorn cake -- but they're crisp and crunchy, not puffy. They have a distinct potato taste.The best part? Each bag clocks in at only 100 calories! And I repeat -- these are not a simple "100 calorie" snack. What you get here is a full bag of chips. What's great about the content vs. calorie content is that these are perfect to accompany your lunch without feeling guilty about eating a 200-300 calorie bag of chips.My personal favorites were the Sea Salt and Vinegar and the Original. The barbecue flavor is sweet, not smoky. The Salt and Pepper, Cheddar, and Sour Cream and Onion flavors are standard fair. But the chips are adequately and evenly seasoned and I did not notice differences in seasoning from one chip to the next.These are a great product, well manufactured, and a treat to eat. I'll definitely buy more of these in the future. Results: These potato chips are flavorful, crunchy, and each bag clocks in at only 100 calories!. My personal favorites were the Sea Salt and Vinegar and Original flavors. These are a great product, well manufactured, and a treat to eat. I'll definitely buy more of these in the future. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: potato, chip, puffy, crisp, definitely buy Negative: x
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'm sort of a health nut who has weened myself off highly-palatable junk food. Junk food is delicious but it ain't good for you. Conversely, healthy food has a bad rep for being disgusting but I honestly think that it's just something that requires training and acclimatization.I really like PopChips. They don't taste absolutely amazing to be honest but if you're someone who is trying to kick junk food out of your diet, this is a good way to fulfill a craving without succumbing to unhealthier junk foods. Each bag is only 100 calories, which is very helpful for portion control.For me, the taste is great. It's not amazing but it isn't awful. Sure there are better tasting chips out there but how much more unhealthier are they?I've tried small bags of PopChips from the vending machine (which I recommend doing before you buy a case). I haven't tried all over the flavors until I bought the case and I was a little disappointed with half of the flavors in the box. Fortunately, my boyfriend and I disagree on what tastes good so he likes the flavors I don't like and vice versa. It works out great for us and probably will work out great for family situations and parties where people usually don't have the tastes. However, if you plan on consuming these bags on your own over time I can almost guarantee that there will be a couple flavors that you won't like and it might just be worth it if you just buy a couple bags of flavors you do like.If you're not accustomed to the taste of 'healthy' food, you might not enjoy these at first. Either way, pop chips are worth a try. Probably not by the case though. i recommend trying out a few flavors if you can find a small bag at the shop or vending machine before you buy a big box of them. Results: I used to love junk food, but now I enjoy healthier options like PopChips. They may not taste amazing, but they're a good alternative for those trying to kick junk food. They're low in calories and help with portion control. The flavors may not be for everyone, but they work well for sharing with others. If you're new to healthy food, it might take some getting used to, so try a small bag before buying a whole box. Give PopChips a try, but maybe not in bulk. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: recommend trying, good alternative, small bag Negative: x

This practically falls under the category of healthy snack - well, almost. Single serving bags mean you won't be overeating and the fact that these aren't in anyway greasy because of the way they are made is a huge plus. Nice crisp crunch. The bags are filled with air, which for the most part do a good job of keeping the chips whole. On the case that I got, though, two bags contained nothing but broken bits. Of the rest most only had a couple of broken chips - some no broken ones at all. I also noticed that you don't find nearly as much coating from flavoring on your fingers as I've experienced when eating other chips. Purchasing it by the case to try out all of the flavors is a good idea and a decent value. Some of the flavors are incredibly strong, to the point that I don't like them, so I won't be ordering this mixed case again. Salt and Pepper just tasted like pepper, making this a very hot tasting chip. The Sea salt and Vinegar is really strong on the Vinegar, which is a taste I don't enjoy. I love BBQ flavored chips, but again, this was kind of strong. I probably wouldn't purchase the BBQ ones in the future, but wouldn't say no if someone offered them to me. The Original is really bland compared to these others, but not bad. The ones I liked the most were the Sour Cream & Onion and the Cheddar, both with milder flavors. I'd give this 5 stars if I liked all of the flavors. Definitely high marks for the type of chip and the size of the serving and the fact that you can try all of the flavors in one order. Results: These single-serving chips are a healthy snack option that isn't greasy. The bags are mostly intact, although some may have broken chips. The flavors vary in intensity, with some being too strong for my taste. BBQ flavor is a bit overpowering, but Sour Cream & Onion and Cheddar are milder and enjoyable. Overall, it's a good value for trying all the flavors in one order, but I would prefer if all the flavors were to my liking. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: healthy snack, not greasy, Sour Cream & Onion Negative: Sea salt and Vinegar, BBQ ,Original

Saw this on Oprah's favorite things and thought it would make a great little Christmas gift for my friends that love cooking as much as I do. Since they come in packages of three, I kept one and gave two away. I couldn't open mine to clean it, so my husband had to open it and he had a hard time. I thought it was just too tight from the factory. My basil looked great after ten days. But when I went to use the basil, I could not open the pod. Husband not home...neighbor not home...dog missing thumbs. I tried lightly rapping it against the counter edge and the seam cracked right down the middle. (Okay, maybe a little harder than 'lightly,' I was pretty frustrated.) Luckily I had emptied the water, so I only had a small mess to clean up. The pod went into the garbage...forcefully. I checked with my friends. Friend #1 had the same problem and her pod is now a rooting capsule for plant clippings because she had to throw away the clear cover...it also broke when she squeezed the pod to try to open it. Friend #2 has now been warned. There were no special tips included on how to open the pod and judging from comments I've read, we're not the only ones who have had this problem. I think this was designed by the same guy that invented the security wrapping/tape on music CDs! I've gone back to my old method...a wide-mouth mayo jar with pretty hair band holdingdown a circle of fabric...it works! Results: Bought this as a Christmas gift after seeing it on Oprah's favorite things. Kept one and gave two away. Had trouble opening mine and had to ask my husband for help. Basil grew well, but couldn't open the pod when it was time to use it. Tried cracking it against the counter and it broke, causing a mess. Checked with friends who had similar issues. No instructions provided. Went back to using my old method instead. Frustrating design reminiscent of CD security wrapping. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: christmas gift Negative: packaging too tight, can't open the pod

After reading a previous review I carefully inspected the cans when they arrived. The cans were immaculate and very clean so I felt relieved. After cooling in the fridge I ate the first can. The fruit was very mushy and not attractive to look at and frankly a disapointment but did not taste rotten per say. Only minutes later though my mouth felt like acid was eating at it and was very painful for hours even after washing out my mouth. I eat much canned and fresh fruit and this was a first for me. Only days later my teeth and gums were infected and I had to go to the dentist for the pain was so bad. He found infection and I had to undergo a treatment of antibiotics and painkillers before I was finally ok again after about 2 weeks. SHEESH! Needless to say I threw out the remaining cans of fruit! The problem must be at the source as the cans and packaging were 1st rate and shining clean. Quality control must really suck. I'm all for natural but great care must be taken so contamination is avoided. This is a foreign product and their health standards may be lacking there. I would stay far away from this stuff if you value your health! Results: Despite visually clean cans, the fruit inside was mushy and unappealing. After consuming, experienced a burning sensation in the mouth and endured hours of pain. Developed dental infection requiring antibiotics and painkillers. Threw away remaining cans. Quality control seems lacking at the source. This is a foreign product and their health standards may be lacking there. Stay far away from this stuff if you value your health!

We'll see how these work out in our family over time. I'm not sure that I am disciplined enough to make good use of them, although it might be a good technique for teaching my dog. They appear to be good for what they are, a very tiny, but healthy, reward. Right now I can visualize them being used as a reward for following commands, a training tool. I was surprised at how tiny these treats were. They seem to taste good enough, but they are miniscule! They are just a fraction longer than a small paperclip and about half as wide, maybe 1/4 as thick.My dog was a little annoyed, but took it when I gave it to him. That was yesterday. Today he came in excited to get his "treat", looked at it as if to say, "You've GOT to be KIDDING!" Then he took it and ate it. A little later I offered him another one. He put it on the floor and looked hopefully at his stash of larger treats, but when he didn't get one, he went back and took this one.I think these might be good for rewards for obeying commands. Treats? That's stretching it.They may also be good for my son's dog who rarely gets treats because she's overweight and would eat the whole entire refrigerator full of food if allowed. At least she would get a treat. Large treats take her 5 seconds. She'll probably inhale these, one second max.I like the fact that these are low-fat, with no added salt, no refined sugar, no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. It says, "Treats Baked With Natural Peanut Butter." Results: Tiny, healthy treats suitable for training dogs. Surprisingly small in size but taste good. May work well as rewards for obedience. Good option for overweight dogs due to their size and low-fat content. Free from added salt, refined sugar, artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. Made with natural peanut butter. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: training tool, taste good, low fat, baked with natural powder Negative: miniscule

I am a BzzAgent and I recently received a package of these to try. I have to say that I absolutely LOVE the flavor of these candies. I am usually not a big candy eater, but I have to say that I was really impressed. The Werther's Chewy Caramels were so richly flavored and chewy that I couldn't stop at just one (I usually stop at one for most other candies). They have a great buttery flavor that makes my mouth water just thinking about them. I like the fact that they have some great ingredients, like cream and butter, but I had to deduct one star for the fact that there are artificial flavors in them (I am an avid label reader and try to stay away from any artificial ingredients). As far as the taste goes, my kids and my husband were constantly in the pantry looking to grab another candy, so I can confidently say these were a huge hit in our family. It was also a great incentive for the kids to eat their vegetables at dinner- they certainly cleaned their plate to have a couple of caramels for dessert. If you are having a party, these would be great set out in a candy dish. There will be none left by the end! Results: Received Werther's Chewy Caramels, loved the richly flavored taste and chewy. Ate more than usual due to the great taste. Contains cream and butter, but deduct one star for artificial flavors. Family enjoyed them, kids motivated to eat veggies for dessert. If you are having a party, these would be great set out in a candy dish. There will be none left by the end! Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Werther's Chewy Caramels, richly flavored, chewy, huge hit Negative: artifical flavor

I had read some favorable reviews of this pancake mix on Amazon quite a while ago. I had never ordered any, but I came across a can of it in one of those outdoor,camping stores last Christmas. I have been using it ever since to make my dieting harder, and can honestly say I have never enjoyed the struggle so much. Pancake mixes are usually one of those things that usually I buy the cheapest I can find, or at least one that I am familiar with. I tend to balk at higher priced mixes for the most part. But every now and then I get curious of a brand like this one. It just so happens that when I visited this camping store, I was getting ready to take a short hike as soon as the holidays were over, and pancake mix has always been one of my staple items to take along. Unfortunately it wasn't 'till I left that I realized that this mix was not one of the "just add water" ones that we all know and love. The best ones always needed your own addition of eggs, milk, butter, etc, and this one is no exception in that respect. So instead of enjoying this mix on the trail, I have been making pancakes in the wilds of my very own kitchen. I really don't know what it is about this mix that makes it so good, but it does indeed make some of the best and most delicious pancakes I have ever tasted from a mix. They are very light, fluffy, and flavorful, and well worth the price and ingredients that you have to add yourself. If you have a pancake fiend in your home, I would highly suggest you buy some of this great mix. Its cheaper here on Amazon than I paid for it and well worth it in my opinion. I have had lots of different kinds over the years, and this makes some truly delicious pancakes.... Highly recommended... Results: I found a great pancake mix in a camping store last Christmas. Although it requires additional ingredients, it makes the best pancakes I've ever tasted. They are very light, fluffy, and flavorful, it's worth the price. Highly recommended for pancake lovers. Cheaper here on Amazon. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: pancake mix, good, most delcious pancake Negative: higher priced

I used to buy Bob's Red Mill Organic 7 Grain Pancake & Waffle, Whole Grain Mix until I saw all these rave reviews about StoneWall Kitchen Farmhouse Pancake and Waffle mix. I decided to order from Amazon and tried it this morning.This pancake mix is very fine and powdery. When I made my pancake mix, the mix was all over my kitchen floor. The mix is almost foamy like when it is done mixing. The waffle recipe from the label asks for 2 Tbsp. of melted butter, which I never use that much when I use the Rob's Red Mill pancake mix. I could only make two perfect 7" round pancakes from it even though it claims the serving should be 3-4 pancakes. The pancake is indeed fluffy as others claimed in the review. However, I also tasted a lot of chemicals in it. I guess one reason it is so fluffy is a lot of baking soda in the ingredient. Looking at the ingredient label did I realize it has more chemicals than other brands. And I do not understand what ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR it has to be added in when this pancake mix is just the normal type with no fancy flavors like Cinnamon and Apple, etc.In short, I am going back to my Rob's Red Mill brand, at least I know what I am digesting in my stomach. Results: I tried the StoneWall Kitchen Farmhouse Pancake and Waffle mix after reading rave reviews, but it was disappointing. The mix was powdery and messy, and the serving size was smaller than expected. The pancakes were fluffy but tasted chemically due to excessive baking soda. The ingredient list contained more chemicals than other brands, and I do not understand what artificial flavor it has to be added. I am going back to my trusted Rob's Red Mill brand for better clarity on what I'm consuming. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: stonewall kitchen, fine, powdery, fluffy Negative: lots of chemical, artificial flavor

Been curious about Stonewall since reading all the Amazon reviews but not sure about spending $$$ for a pancake mix. The other day, found a big can at Sur La Tab store in San Francisco for only $10.95, so I thought, why not, this is my chance to try. I was so looking fwd to Saturday morning and made it first thing today....all I can say is, underwhelming, nothing special. I tried it following the instructions but using low fat milk and "healthier" butter, it was alright, but not great esp. considering the price. Then I doctored it up a bit, added madagascar vanilla, flaxseed and psyllium which I usually do with my pancakes, tasted a bit better. Overall rating, 3 stars, just ok, stuck with the can so we'll eat it, but will not purchase again. I will probably try it next time with full fat milk and butter as it recommended to see if that makes a difference, it probably does. I highly recommend Garvey's Organic Pancake Mix, also here in Amazon, tastes so much better and fluffier. If you like 100% whole grain pancakes, we also love Kodiak Buttermilk mix, also here on Amazon...healthy, hearty and so good, even my kids love it...and best of all it's just add water, makes it portable, we even took it with us on vacay to Hawaii. Results: I found a discounted can of Stonewall Kitchen pancake mix at a store and decided to try it. It was underwhelming and not worth the high price. Even with added ingredients, it was just okay. I'll finish the can but won't buy it again. I recommend Garvey's Organic Pancake Mix for tastes so much better and fluffier, and if you like 100% whole grain pancakes, Kodiak Buttermilk mix for a healthy and delicious option that's convenient for travel. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: stonewall kitchen Negative: underwhelming, nothing special

Recently, my life partner was complaining about our same ole breakfast every morning. That is when I discovered that he "loves" pancakes. I was aware that he liked waffles. (We've only been together almost five years!) I, on the other hand, have never cared for pancakes. I loved my Gram's waffles, but nothing she did could tempt me to eat pancakes, no amount of butter or slathering with strawberry jam could make a difference. I just didn't care for PANCAKES! She did insist on teaching me how to make and cook them, because my Daddy enjoyed pancakes, so I learned.I was in Central Market on Saturday when I ran into a co-worker and her husband. They took me by the hand from the Baking Products isle to the Jams, Jelly, Syrup, Honey isle. On the top shelf was "the very best pancake mix": Stonewall Kitchen Farmhouse Pancake and Waffle Mix. I saw the price and took a deep breath, it was twice the price of the mix I had just been contemplating purchasing. On their recommendation, I tossed it in the cart along with some "real" organic, light amber, maple syrup.This morning, I fixed three small (3 inch diameter) pancakes for my man and one for myself just to taste. I needed to know!Well, I don't believe I have ever had real maple syrup before in my life, just that sugar processed krapola sold as pancake syrup. I have NEVER liked that stuff!That pancake with a tiny dribble of real maple syrup was DELICIOUS! It was the pancake mix that made the difference.Now I am reading reviews to purchase a waffle maker. After tasting that light, fluffy pancake, I can hardly wait to have some waffles made from this mix. These reviews are making my mouth water with anticipation!I will never buy any thing else. Results: My partner expressed boredom with our regular breakfast, so I discovered his love for pancakes. Despite never liking pancakes myself, I tried Stonewall Kitchen Farmhouse Pancake and Waffle Mix based on a friend's recommendation. With real maple syrup, the pancake was delicious, and I finally understood the appeal. Now I'm excited to buy a waffle maker and enjoy fluffy waffles made from the same mix. The positive reviews have me eagerly anticipating the mouthwatering experience. I'm a convert and won't be buying any other mix. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: delicious, light, fluffy, made the difference Negative: x

As a new Keurig owner, I'm trying as many "sampler" packs as possible to determine what both my husband and I like the most.Although quite pricey and not coming in the cute gift box some other "Crazy Cups" purchases have been received in, I am enjoying this variety thoroughly. It is almost entirely iced drinks and this sampler pack had a good mix of the following:Southern Sweet Tea, Unsweetened Black Tea, Raspberry Sweet Tea, Peach Sweet Tea, Sweet Lemon Tea, Half & Half Tea and a few different iced coffee k-cups. Additionally, there were a few seasonal Island Coconut which my husband loves.I would consider purchasing variety packs as my main source of k-cups, but at a price of over 90 cents a cup I can't justify the cost. However, this is a good starting point to narrow down some favorites to purchase in single flavor boxes!If these were presented in the gift boxes they use for other samplers, this would be a very ideal gift/house warming present for these hot summer months! I don't mind them not being in a gift box, but I could have at least used that as an excuse to myself for the price. Results: As a new Keurig owner, I tried a pricey but enjoyable sampler pack of iced drinks from Crazy Cups. The variety included sweet teas, black tea, iced coffee, and seasonal flavors like Island Coconut. Although I wouldn't regularly buy variety packs due to the cost, it helped me discover my favorites for future purchases. While lacking a fancy gift box, it would make a great gift for summer.

This freeze dried ice cream is great! It tastes exactly like the more expensive kind with the astronaut on the package, for a fraction of the price. After receiving this, I understand why it costs less than the "astronaut" kind. The packaging stinks on ice.Normally, freeze dried items are packaged in air tight, foil type packages, so as to not permit light, and most importantly, air into the package. Air is the enemy of freeze dried items, because it contains moisture. The product arrives it is in an air tight can, which you need to open with a can opener. Inside, the individual servings of ice cream are in paper wrappers that will NOT keep air out of the product.It gets worse. The paper wrappers are not only NOT air tight, but they are also ALL slit open. Every serving is slit open in several places. The can says to transfer the servings into a ziplock bag and get as much air out as possible. This may or may not keep the product fresh, but doing so is better than leaving the ice cream in the can.With mine, I got as much air out of the bag as I could, by closing the bag as much as possible around a straw. I then sucked the air out until I could get no more air out, then slipped the straw out, whilst closing the bag in one swift motion. You MUST do this every time you open the bag to retrieve a serving, or air will ruin the delightful texture of the ice cream. So be prepared with large ziplock bags and a straw if you order this product. Results: This freeze dried ice cream is a great alternative to the more expensive astronaut brand, offering the same taste at a lower price. However, I was disappointed with the packaging. To keep the ice cream fresh, the servings must be transferred to ziplock bags with as much air removed as possible. I found using a straw to suck out the air before sealing the bag worked well. Be prepared with large ziplock bags and a straw if you decide to try this product. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: price, taste like the more expensive one Negative: not air tight

Well, maybe I'm the first one to review this wonderful treat, but I know I'm not the first one having tried them! This treat is so safe, healthy, and yummy! In my native language, Miam-Miam is for Yum-Yum!There you go. Not too sweet, yet not lacking sweetness. You can't taste one ingredient above the other one (OK, besides the coconut, since it's mostly made of it), it's so good.This is a raw food product that has been dehydrated at low temps, it's really nice to give to our kids. (We have 7 of them, and they love it). Of course it's a bit more expensive than your average treats/candies, but hey, who wants to complain?Do you want crappy candies with dyes, chemicals and cooked (so basically poison), or you want to give REAL FOOD for yourself and your kids?I bet if people learn to do/prepare these treats and give that to their kids, school would be less filled with Asperger Syndromes, ADD, ADHD kids etc....This is a treat that you won't regret having spent money on it, unless of course... you are so used to the chemical loaded-pesticide-herbicide-overly cooked-High Fructose Corn Syrup-dyed candy, then it's not for you.Keep your money instead, you'll need it for the bills you'll have when you go to the numerous Docs that can't help you and your kids. Sorry....:( Results: This treat by Miam-Miam is safe, healthy, and delicious. It's not overly sweet and has a balanced flavor. Made from raw food and dehydrated at low temperatures, it's a great option for kids. While it may be more expensive than other treats, it's worth it for real, wholesome food. Avoiding chemical-loaded candies can potentially have positive effects on children's health. If you prefer chemical free treats, this may not be for you. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: nice, real food, dehydrated, raw food, treat Negative: expensive

So I bought this pomegranate molasses to make Fattoush, the delicious middle eastern salad of greens, cukes, tomatoes and torn up bits of fried, leftover pita bread. Wowee, Fattoush is now my favorite salad, I've eaten so often lately that the tart lemon-y dressing has made the corners of my mouth turn a bit pinkish and raw, youch. I tend to do that, find a food I really like, then eat it so much I almost make myself sick on it.Anyways, the Fattoush salad dressing, with it's complex blend of Sumac, olive oil and various herbs and spices required one half teaspoon of pomegranate molasses. I was lucky enough to find it at a Russian grocery store (YAY!). But the store is far away and so I had to look around online to buy more, thank God for Amazon.Now, granted, my bottle will likely last years if all I do with it is make Fattoush, one goopy half teaspon at a time, so I've used it in a few other things. I added a teaspoon to a Lemon Chicken Marinade, a tiny glob to a bowl of greek yogurt (had to add honey too cuz it was sour!), a tiny amount added to Christmas Salmon cream cheese log, I used it in Fesenjen, a persian stew of chicken and walnuts, I used a few tablespoons of the sticky stuff in a garlicky barbecue sauce and it was the best barbecue ever.Just don't do what I did and try to replace the molasses in molasses cookies with pomegranate molasses, what a horrible mess, the cookies looked normal, slightly lighter than normal, but the smell! And the taste! Ewwww! Results: I discovered pomegranate molasses while making Fattoush, a Middle Eastern salad. Its sweet and tart flavor was a delightful addition. I may have indulged a bit too much, as it caused some irritation around my mouth. Finding it at a Russian grocery store was fortunate, but I had to resort to online shopping for convenience. Pomegranate molasses added depth to my lemon chicken marinade, Greek yogurt, and even a garlicky barbecue sauce. However, I learned the hard way not to substitute it in molasses cookies. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: pomegranate molasses, various, grocery store, online, Amazon Negative: store is far away
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. There is much confusion about tomatoes, and shopping on-line in this case adds to the complexity. These are not the best tomatoes offered at the time of this writing. The Strianese are hands down the best. My local store sells them. I have been using them for fifteen years. But they are significantly more expensive and the shipping is brutal. No Prime shipping with them. I use these specific Cento when I am not home. It all depends on how much your sauce means to you.But you need to know what you are buying. These Cento tomatoes are 1) San Marzano sauce tomatoes; 2) they are D.O.P. certified 3) and this point is often overlooked, they are from the Sarnese Nocerino. They are the second best in terms of absolute flavor. Bright from proper acid, deep from proper natural salt/sugar balance. You probably cannot get better tomatoes fresh unless you know a specialty grower, or do it yourself and have no day job. Cento sells many others, much cheaper, that are not these.The price per can is good. The best deal is if you have Amazon Prime and get regular shipments. I get three large batches per case, enough to feed the mob that forms on sauce day.Most people are happy with the many good canned tomatoes, especially when you look at the poor genetically engineered ersatz "fresh" tomatoes at the supermarket. But if you are a maestro, these are what you want. Results: Confusion surrounds tomato choices, particularly when shopping online. Strianese tomatoes are the best but they are more expensive and shipping is brutal. Cento tomatoes, like these San Marzano D.O.P. certified ones from Sarnese Nocerino, are a good alternative. They offer excellent flavor, acidity, and natural salt/sugar balance. While there are cheaper options, Cento provides quality. With Amazon Prime, you can get regular shipments at a good price. For sauce enthusiasts, Cento is a go-to choice compared to genetically engineered "fresh" tomatoes at supermarkets. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Cento, San Marzano, D.O.P certified, proper acid, balance Negative: not the best
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 received my order with a few problems. The majority of the cans arrived dented, some very severely! Amazon needs to add better packing material to keep the cans from moving around in the shipping box, I am surprised they haven't fixed this shipping issue by now because of all the complaints here in the reviews. However, Amazon is really great when it comes to problems like this with food items...they are shipping me a new order, no charge, and I get to keep my original order! I am hoping my new order arrives in better condition! These San Marzano Tomatoes are not "DOP Certified"! Even though the description says they are? Many people have complained about this in the reviews so I am surprised Amazon is still listing them as "DOP Certified"? However, they are very good quality tomatoes and Certified Organic. I have also noticed the price of this item fluctuates often so here's a tip...place it in your shopping cart and then save it for later, check your cart daily and wait for the price to drop! I paid $20.79 but I have seen the price as high as $53.00, so it pays to be patient. Good luck! Results: Received order with dented cans. Amazon's customer service is great—they're sending a free replacement, and I keep the original. San Marzano Tomatoes not "DOP Certified" as claimed, but still good quality and certified organic. Price fluctuates, so add to cart, check daily, and wait for a drop. Paid $20.79, seen as high as $53.00. Good luck! Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: shipping, new order, no charge Negative: dented, cans arrived dented, packing material, not DOP Certified, price
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 like loose tea, I just don't like chewing on leaves in my tea cup, or having to dispose of a bunch of loose, soggy leaves that seem to find every corner of my kitchen. However, I'm spoiled rotten and only like the flavor that comes with brewing loose tea. So I've been using these empty tea bags in order to make loose tea a lot less messy and just as convenient as bagged tea. Most bags of this type I've encountered are made in Europe and come with a price to match, and a single pack of 100 doesn't last a whole long time. When I saw this deal here on Amazon, I went for it.The bags look and work identically to the European made ones, although I believe these are made in India. (where they know a whole lot about making tea) But the price is about 2/3 less than that of the European made ones. I can't argue with that. (Well, I could argue with that, but I'm not a dope) That way, we can have the best tea on the market, which is sold loose, without the pain in the neck features of brewing loose tea with a tea ball or strainer. Just throw in the right amount of tea, tuck the top flap into the bag, and that's it. You now have a teabag of your favorite Kenyan Black tea (or whatever makes you happy) Throw away the neat little soggy bag when you're done - no mess at all.I've decided to get these on as a subscription, with a 6 pack arriving twice a year. That way, my family can have three cups or pots of tea each day (This size works for both), and maybe a few more on the weekend before running out. We've been using these bags for several months now, and are still as happy with them as we were when they arrived. If Amazon keeps offering these bags, I am sure we'll keep buying them! Results: I like loose tea, but dealing with loose, soggy leaves can be a hassle. That's why I started using empty tea bags to make brewing loose tea more convenient. Most bags I found were expensive European imports, but then I discovered these affordable ones from India. They work just as well and cost 2/3 less. Now, I can enjoy the best loose tea without the mess. I subscribed to a 6-pack every six months, ensuring a steady supply for my family's daily tea cravings. We've been using them for months and couldn't be happier. As long as Amazon keeps offering these bags, we'll keep buying them. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: empty tea bag, tea bag, convinient, Amazon, made in India Negative: x
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. Was shocked at the skinny size of this item!! They are five inches long as I expected, because that's the size I wanted and ordered, but can't be any bigger around than even a pencil and that's a BIG stretch!! WOW, I'm sure disappointed considering the cost ~~ $7 and shipping. Won't be ordering these again. Of course my dog likes them ok, but wouldn't call them her fav by any means. :( Will I send them back? Don't know if it's worth the hassle at this point. But I will NOT recommend them either. Because of the size quality and high price compared to so many other products to choose from! Keep looking is my advice. :) The other Beefeaters' products I ordered well met my standards. This one was a DUD!! What's the old saying? Buyer beware? I fell into that trap big time! Here's the product link at this time: Beefeaters Great Fillin Porkhide Rolls with Meaty Chicken Filling, 5-Inch Wish you luck if you try this product...but again "Buyer Beware!!"UPDATE 2.15.2012: My little dog got VERY SICK not too long after I wrote this review...I contacted Cust. Service with even more reason to not like this item and they refunded my money!! How's that for Customer Care?? :) Great!! Thank you Amazon.com ~~ you are TERRIFIC!! Results: The item was surprisingly thin! Despite ordering the desired five-inch length, it had a minimal width, comparable to a pencil. Considering the cost of $7 plus shipping, I am disappointed and won't be purchasing it again. While my dog found it acceptable, it wasn't her preferred choice. I'm unsure if it's worth the inconvenience to return it, but I cannot recommend it due to its narrowness, lack of quality, and high price compared to other alternatives. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: refund Negative: skinny, size, disappointed, cost, shipping, very sick
