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 eat a lot of cereal, and that includes a lot of the high-fiber kinds. Oatmeal, Mini (Frosted) Shredded Wheat and Raisin Bran are usually what I'd eat when I needed to lose a few lbs., but there have been a few instances where I tried the "healthier" options. I've tried several of the Kashi cereals, but they weren't very appetizing. The plain one had a cardboard taste. Next, I tried Grape Nuts, which is like a horrendous yeast flavored cat food (though it's closer to kitty litter in texture.) That brings me to FiberPlus Antioxidants.This Berry Yogurt Crunch is certainly one of the better tasting high-fiber cereals I've eaten. It's like a decent health bar broken apart into cereal. The clusters of yogurt really help, but even the plain cereal is decent enough on its own. Yes, there are 12g of Sugar per serving, but the 10g of Fiber and 170 Calorie parts more than make up for it. Especially if you compare it to Raisin Bran and Frosted Shredded Wheat, which are typically higher in Sugar and Calories, yet lower in dietary fiber. The antioxidants are a nice bonus, too.The bottom line is that I'll add this to my grocery list whenever it's on sale or the price is right. Results: Among various high-fiber cereals tried, Kashi and Grape Nuts were unappetizing. However, FiberPlus Antioxidants Berry Yogurt Crunch stands out as one of the better-tasting options. It resembles a health bar broken into cereal form, and the yogurt clusters enhance the flavor. Despite the 12g of sugar, the 10g of fiber and 170 calories per serving make it a worthwhile choice compared to higher-sugar options. The added antioxidants are a nice bonus. It will be added to the grocery list when on sale or at a suitable price. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: antioxidants, high fiber, decent health bar Negative: sugar

This isn't the best soup out there, but the best for the price.Just add water & pop it in the microwave for 3 minutes, for over a pint of noodle & spice rich hot soup... great during the cold winter. Add your own ingredients or spices to make it richer. These usually sell in local & online stores for 11 cents each.Their cup of soup products is 25-29 cents each because you can eat it right out of the provided container. The over a full cup of soup cooks in 2 minutes in the microwave. Buy them by the case to save more. They have a shelf life of years with no refrigeration.These are not intended as a substitute for a full balanced meal, but as a hot snack or hot quick lunch.There's a lot of whining about nutritional content of these. But they're almost about as nutritional as any brand of soup out there except the most chunky & expensive brands. Whattya want for 11-25 cents?I think they're very handy & filling when a hurry or on a diet, for the price.I've add cheese, powdered cheese, a little tomato sauces, or powdered garlic & onion to these to make them taste extra super. Use you imagination, they're incredibly cheap, hot, & ready in minutes. Results: soup may not be the best, it is the best option for the price. It's easy to prepare resulting in a flavorful and satisfying hot soup. The soup is great for cold winters and can be customized by adding your own ingredients or spices. It is available for 11 cents each in stores. You can buy them by the case to save more. they're not a substitute for a balanced meal, they serve as a convenient and filling hot snack or quick lunch. Overall, the soup is cheap, quick, and suitable for those in a hurry or on a diet. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: affordable, quick preparation Negative: bad nutritional content, limited variety in flavors

This is the most awesome-tasting Larabar ever. I've given all Larabars 5 stars, but this one (Blueberry Muffin) is the best one ever!!! If you only try one flavor of Larabar, let it be Blueberry Muffin.The Larabar people obviously are really good at what they do. They make all these Larabars taste exactly like whatever it is they are, but without any added sugar, preservatives, soy, or other bad stuff. All ingredients are natural. For example, these Blueberry Muffin Larabars (the feature Larabar) tastes just like a blueberry muffin. The Pecan Pie Larabar tastes justs like a pecan pie. The Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar tastes justs like peanut butter cookie. The Cashew Cookie Larabar, to me, tastes like shortbread cookie. The coconut Larabar tastes like an awesome coconut treat. The Lemon Bar Larabar tastes just like a lemon bar. The Banana Bread Larabar tastes just like banana bread. And so on and so forth.The Larabar people don't do just taste, but also texture. For example, this Blueberry Muffin has a different texture than the Peanut Butter Cookie or the Cashew Cookie. Those two cookies have a harder texture, like a cookie. But the blueberry muffin has a softer texture, like a muffin.I can't get over how awesome the Blueberry Muffin Larabar is. It is the perfect blend of ingredients that give it the awesome and perfect taste and texture. And they do not skimp on blueberries. I love the taste of blueberries, and it has a rich and wonderful taste of blueberries.This is the best Larabar of all of them, and I've had them all. I do love all of them, though, and I've given 5 stars to all of them.Larabars are vegan, all natural, no soy, etc. They are so good, even if you are not vegan, or don't care about healthy bars, I think you would still love them because they are so good. We don't have to skimp on taste just because they are vegan, healthy, soy-free, etc. Results: The Blueberry Muffin Larabar is the most awesome-tasting Larabar I've ever had. If you try only one flavor, make it this one. Larabar does an incredible job of making their bars taste exactly like their namesake without any added sugar or unhealthy ingredients. The texture of the Blueberry Muffin Larabar is soft, like a muffin, while other flavors have a cookie-like texture. It's packed with blueberry flavor and doesn't skimp on taste. I've tried all the Larabar flavors and this one is the best. Larabars are vegan and all-natural, but even non-vegans would love them for their great taste. I give all Larabar flavors five stars. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: rich flavour, good texture, natural ingredients Negative: x

Purchased here but later ordered factory direct w/ other flavors I couldnt find here. Very blueberry taste & moist. As a curiosity, I e-mailed a request in regards to spoilage/preserving & got a VERY prepared ,non-answer, statement "...all natural, blah, blah...." from General Mills (guess they run the show). When I replied, asking for better info = no response. Never had issues w/ order from Amazon but the later order DIRECT from Lara Bar BECAME COVERED WITH WHITE FUZZ!!!!!!!! I wonder how many bars I ate without looking! Also, if these were factory sealed & fresh, I assume the mold was inside the product from the start! FYI, the mold developed 4 months before expiration date & at stable temps ~ 65-68 deg. I called re the issue & gave them all the info. Sorry .. adv the quality team .. send coupon .. normal reaction. Cust Service rep was going to send a coupon to cover the $ for another. I mentioned the shipping price so she said she would send more. Problem is she sent COUPONS for STORE purchases. Will see how/if I remember to order by mail! No internet credit, etc. No one sells Lara Bars In Central Wisconsin. Also, the coupons she sent wont cover freight & aren't for a 16 count box!!! just a bunch of stuff. This 1-star is for General Mills C/S (kinda stupid) & the mildew/mold. No issues w/ other Lara products - they are excellent Results: I purchased Lara Bars, but later I decided to order them directly from the factory because they had flavors that I couldn't find. The bars had a delicious blueberry taste and were moist. Curious about spoilage and preservation, I emailed General Mills, but their response was a vague statement . When I asked for more information, I received no reply. Unfortunately, the bars I ordered directly from Lara Bar were covered in mold! It seems like the mold was inside the product from the beginning, even though they were factory sealed and fresh. I contacted customer service and provided all the details, hoping for a coupon to cover the cost of a replacement. However, they sent me inadequate coupons. I'm disappointed with General Mills' customer service Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: very bluberry taste, moist Negative: mold developed 4 months before expiration date

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: these steaks were far from high-quality. They were inferior in taste and not worth the high prices, about $30.00 per pound after shipping. The hamburgers were small and dry frozen pucks. I am extremely disappointed with the quantity and quality of the order. Save your money and shop at a good butcher or grocery store instead! Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: high price, low quality, 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. 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 four stuffed baked potatoes in my first Omaha Steaks order and was pleasantly surprised. I cooked them in the oven and they turned out delicious, with a crispy cheese topping and soft potato underneath. They are a great addition to any Omaha Steaks order, although I wouldn't order them alone due to the shipping costs. What I liked about them is that they don't contain partially hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup, unlike many other similar products. They have 8 grams of saturated fat but also provide 3 grams of fiber per baked potato half. Overall, the stuffed baked potatoes were tasty, relatively healthy, and made with quality ingredients. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: easy to cook, delicious, high quality ingredient Negative: high shipping cost

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I am so appalled at this finding as my dog has been taking these treats for 8 years, now this explains to me why my dog became so ill back in October 2011 and still no diagnosis as doctors kept pumping me for money and told me all tests were negative. I read previous reviews and had also noticed the chicken and apple treat became a quarter size with a very black chicken wrap and me like a dummy gave it to him anyway. 6 months later of my dog vomiting, bloody diarrhea extreme weight loss we started prednizone as it was the last resort, either that or they wanted to operate saying it was a thickening intestinal wall that was stopping food from passing but couldn't guarantee this would work. I so now in my heart believe is was due to Dogswell products. I started ordering them again just 2 months ago, noticed the treats were back to normal looking like they used to look, thought nothing strange of it and starting giving it to him again but being still on prednizone it's hard to say if any further damage was now done. I am stopping the purchase of these treats and throwing the rest away. I wanna thank the public for your reviews and it has helped me so much understand maybe what has been going on with my baby. Sure enough after reading everything and did a google search I ran downstairs to check my bags and sure enough it said made in CHINA, I nearly passed out, This is a huge eye opener for me and from now on I will be buying only homemade dog treats made from people I know and my treats from stores like "THREE DOG BAKERY" here in Las Vegas, Nevada were I now will know what my dog is getting. This country has purely gone to shit and this sickens me that my baby suffered due to greed once again. Let's fight back and NEVER EVER buy anything with the label "MADE IN CHINA" I don't care what it is or how great a deal it is, this must be stopped some how as it seems everything is being made in China, please help the fight, you and your dogs life depends on it. Thanks again for the reviews and concerns of the caring people out there. Results: I am deeply disturbed by this discovery as my dog has been consuming these treats for eight years. It explains why my dog fell ill back in October 2011, and despite numerous tests, no diagnosis was made. After reading previous reviews, I realized that the chicken and apple treats had changed in appearance and still gave them to my dog. Six months later, he experienced vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and extreme weight loss, leading to the last resort of using prednisone. The doctors suggested surgery for a thickening intestinal wall, but there were no guarantees. I now strongly believe that Dogswell products were the cause. I discovered that the treats were made in China, which was a shocking realization. From now on, I will only purchase homemade dog treats from people I know to ensure their safety.

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 dogs love the Freebird chicken apple wedges, but the economic two-pound bag is too hard to find since I purchased them at here-today-gone-tomorrow Costco. The small bags are a bit pricey BUT they're not made in China. My brother always insisted that we only buy dog food made in the USA when we had our three labs. Now I have a beagle and a blue heeler with my guy, and we are always trying to treat them for good behavior. I found and buy these at Petco. The bag has more content than the usual packs of Freebirds, and they like them as well, but I didn't realize until reading other reviewer comments where they came from. Filled with condroitin and glucosamine for the mature dog with hip problems (the blue heeler), I thought I'd give them a try. Though I don't see any distinct improvement in our 12 year-old Sydney's hips, I don't see anything detrimental either. They come to the cupboard after coming in from outside or a bath just as before and gobble them down like a kid with candy. The China factor makes me a little uneasy, especially at that price, but I see no ill effects thus far. I asked my vet today what she thought, and she said that they're probably fine as long as they're not recalled, but the laws in China are less strict about what they put in their products. It makes me wonder if I want to risk my dogs being a recall factor if that should happen, so use your own judgement. All I know is that my own canines love them, and others here seem to have no problem with them either. Results: Our dogs love the Freebird chicken apple wedges. The larger bags are hard to find, but the smaller ones are pricey. They're not made in China, which is a relief. It is filled with condroitin and glucosamine for the mature dog with hip problems. Although we haven't seen a noticeable improvement in our blue heeler's hips, there haven't been any negative effects either. While the China factor makes me uneasy, our dogs enjoy these treats, and others seem to have no problems with them. Use your own judgment considering the potential for recalls.

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 pasta sauce is extremely good. The best I've ever had. It is really good and has relatively low sodium (240mg per half cup) and relatively low saturated fat (1.5g per half cup). Usually companies load their sauces with salt and high saturated fat cream to make their product taste good. This company does not do that and the product is amazingly good and tastes very fresh.The problem is the description on Amazon as it reads below. Before I ordered I even did an online chat to confirm that 6 cans would be sent. However only one was sent. The price is too high for one can as it can be purchased cheaper in the grocery store or in bulk at other places, even on Amazon I believe. I paid $11.99 for it thinking I was getting 6 cans which would be an amazing deal. The grocery store (Whole Foods) sells it for $7.99-$8.99 per 19.6 oz can. Amazon needs to fix the product feature description as it is wrong.Product FeaturesDescription: PASTA SCE,CRMY TOMATO RC Quantity: 6 Size: 19.6 OZ Brand: LUCINIThe "Quanity: 6" is not correct. It should read "Quanity: 1"Anyway, the product itself is very good. Everyone's taste buds are different but when I say it's the best I've ever had, I really mean it. It has to be made by hand or something. You can get it cheaper so shop around. Results: The pasta sauce is incredibly delicious and the best I've ever tasted. It has low sodium and saturated fat compared to other sauces that often use excessive salt and cream. The company has done a great job of keeping it fresh and flavorful. However, there was an issue with the Amazon description. Despite confirming through online chat that 6 cans would be sent, only one was delivered. The price was too high for just one can considering it can be found cheaper at grocery stores or in bulk on other platforms Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: fresh, tasted good Negative: expensive

I am new to matcha drinking, so was somewhat concerned re: customer comments Culinary Teas matcha being "brown" (i.e. a not the correct bright green color). I had only tried Starbucks Matcha (PLEASE BE ADVISED - it is very tasty, but probably because the number one ingredient on the label is sugar). Also, a pound of Starbucks Matcha (as sold on a popular auction site) costs about the same as a pound of Culinary Teas bulk Matcha)...so you are getting far less of the expensive and healthful green tea powder and more sugar (the Starbucks product is somehow micronized so it does mix into solution much easier than a less processed pure tea powder). The teaspoon on the right is Teavana (at $16 for 30 grams - thats 2 Tbsp) they said it was the highest "tea ceremony" quality matcha. The teaspoon on the left is the bulk (1 lb, silver bag) CT product. Photo taken without a flash and not retouched so actual colors show. CT matcha is slightly less brilliant green. I mixed exact quantities (1/2 tsp) of matcha in 8 oz of liquid with exact quantities of sweetener (a blend of xylitol and stevia that I am experimenting with). The CT matcha tastes slightly less "green" and slightly more bitter than the Teavana, but I did the math ( a pound of CT would cost $240 at the Teavana $16 per 30 g cost) - so I am very happy with my CT purchase. Will use the smaller container for my "working" supply, freeze the rest and use as needed. Am finding Matcha to be a great substitute for my "too much coffee" habit and prefer the less instantaneous (but prolonged) energy boost it gives - not too mention alkalizing instead of acidifying, ECGC, and possible metabolism boosting effect.PS Most Starbucks barristas do not know the Matcha powder contains sugar, so they will tell you the are not adding any. As consumers, we need to ask companies to STOP ADDING SUGAR (in whatever processed form it takes) to everything they make. Results: a pound of Starbucks Matcha costs about the same as a pound of Culinary Teas. so you are getting far less of the expensive and healthful green tea powder and more sugar. I am finding Matcha to be a great substitute for my "too much coffee" habit and prefer the less instantaneous (but prolonged) energy boost it gives.

This product is everything you would expect, and then some. The shipping was fast. The Matcha is sent in a resealable, heavy-duty FOILED plastic bag, EXCELLENT quality. I recommend using a small tin for everyday use, taking no more than an ounce or two from the larger bag, to preserve the flavor and freshness.The taste is WONDERFUL. Very fresh, very green, very subtle, yet intense.I purchased this product after Starbucks raised their prices (again!), because I had become a frozen green tea frappucino addict...Now I am just a Matcha addict.I love it in the evening warm, in a large mug with a good splash of milk, and simply adore it from the blender with milk, ice cubes, some vanilla syrup and a splash of whipping cream for the frothy, creamy taste...I use 2 level teaspoons, not packed, to a 20 oz. mug, so figure 1 teaspoon per "regular" coffee cup.The illustrative picture is what your matcha will look like. None of the other vendors show the color/quality of their product...For something like this, being able to see what you will get is half the issue. I can tell you that the flavor, which is the other half, is also the quality you would expect and wish for. Results: This product exceeds expectations in every aspect. The shipping is fast, and the Matcha comes in a high-quality, resealable foiled bag. The taste is wonderful—fresh, green, subtle, yet intense. It can be enjoyed warm with milk or blended with milk, ice cubes, vanilla syrup, and whipping cream for a creamy frothy texture. The color and quality are accurately displayed, which is important when choosing Matcha. Overall, it surpasses expectations in both visual appeal and flavor. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Excellent quality of packaging, Wonderful taste Negative: x

The matcha green tea powder had a great color too it. The packaging was in a large, sealed reflective foil bag with a label showing the manufacture's nutrition information. (Note: The bag was not resealable, so make sure you have a container to store it in after opening.)The tea itself was a nice green color, very close to what is pictured in the description. I did not find it having a brownish tint at all, unlike some of the reviews that I have seen on here. It was all green. I could not find a better price for 8 oz. of matcha tea powder.I personally started drinking matcha tea recently so I cannot determine how much better or worse it is compared to other brands. I do, however, have to say that I love the taste of this tea. I drink it unsweetened as both hot and iced tea. I also have successfully replicated great smoothie recipes and an iced latte recipe from my favorite beverage establishments (this stuff has saved me so much $$$ in smoothies that it has already paid for itself.)Overall, I am very satisfied with this product. I was even more impressed with how fast it arrived. I was expecting 7-10 business days for it to be shipped and arrive, but it was at my doorstep in 3 business days! Results: The matcha tea came in a sealed reflective foil bag with accurate labeling. Its vibrant green color matched the description, and the taste is enjoyable both hot and iced. I found it to be a great value for 8 oz. The product exceeded my expectations, and it arrived surprisingly fast within 3 business days.

I've tried MaraNatha's peanut butter and almond butters with mixed satisfaction. While other MaraNatha products may not be my personal favorites, the company has produced a winning product with its dark chocolate almond spread. The product is velvety and delicious and belongs in any chocolate lover's pantry.The dark chocolate almond spread is easily retrieved from the container and no stirring is required. This product tastes awesome on toast, banana pieces, mixed with ice cream or oatmeal or straight out of the jar (my personal favorite). It is so smooth that I could envision one using this spread as an icing for cupcakes or cake.There is no indication on the jar that the product must be refrigerated. I typically refrigerate my peanut butters and other nut butters so I did that with this product and it did make the product more stiff. If you wanted to use this as a frosting, you would need to heat it slightly after refrigeration.A serving is 2 tablespoons and has 180 calories, 14 grams of fat (3 grams saturated), 2 grams of dietary fiber, 9 grams of sugar and 4 grams of protein. The product's ingredients include: dry roasted almonds, evaporated can juice, palm oil, cocoa powder, non-fat dry milk, canola oil, soy lecithin, natural vanilla flavor and salt.While the product is vegetarian, it is not vegan due to the milk content and those sensitive to soy should be cautious. If you are a vegan and/or desire something that is a little lighter in terms of sugar content, I would recommend Artisana Coconut Butter-Cacao Bliss (100% Organic),8-Ounce , which is a coconut butter that, when warmed, is very smooth and flavorful.For holiday and birthday gifts, I often pair some of my favorite teas or spreads in baskets. This product will definitely be on my short list to give to other chocolate lovers.I purchase MaraNatha dark chocolate almond spread at my local co-op for about 4.50 a jar.This product is made in the United States. Results: This product is a velvety and delicious treat that every chocolate lover should have in their pantry. The dark chocolate almond spread is easy to scoop out without needing to stir. It tastes amazing on toast, bananas, mixed with ice cream or oatmeal, or enjoyed straight from the jar. It's vegetarian-friendly but not vegan due to the milk content, and those sensitive to soy should be cautious. I highly recommend this product to fellow chocolate lovers and it will be on my list of gifts for them. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: smooth, affordable Negative: high sugar

I use a hand-cranked roller mill to make rolled oats, and eat these oats uncooked with skim milk for breakfast. A breakfast cereal with NO ADDED SUGAR! Also, because it's "heavy," I tend to eat less than with sugared cereals.Package indicates 110 calories and 2.5 grams fat (3% of an adult's suggested daily intake) per 1/4 cup, but I eat about twice this amount (1/2 cup), so it's not really a completely low calorie meal. But it does "stick to the stomach," and one feels fuller after eating it, perhaps not eating as much at the next meal. The cost works out to a little more than $2/pound, which isn't inexpensive, but I'm sure that this four-pack, totaling 7-plus pounds, will keep the average family in oat groats for awhile! Also, it contains an immense amount of fiber -- 17% of the recommended daily amount per 1/4 cup, or about 34% per 1/2 cup the way I prepare it. So if you need fiber, this is it!I highly recommend this method of preparation (using a roller mill, no cooking). The taste is nutty, filling. It takes less than 30 seconds to put 1/2 cup through a roller mill. I recommend that you don't add sugar.I ordered another brand of oat groats that had an unpleasant taste; these oats taste simply like oats.I ordered the product via Amazon Prime on a Friday afternoon, and Amazon delivered it the next day, Saturday!! Amazing, Amazon!!! Results: These oats are filling and contain a high amount of fiber. It's a great alternative to sugared cereals, as I tend to eat less. The taste is nutty and satisfying, and I suggest avoiding the addition of sugar. Compared to another brand I tried, these oats simply taste like oats. I ordered the product through Amazon Prime and was amazed by their next-day delivery on a Saturday. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: quick preparation, high in fiber, good taste, no added sugar Negative: x

I love these things. I know, I know...the word groat doesn't conjure up images of deliciousness. Mostly it makes people think of poor people in the middle ages, but that would be one of the few times they certainly had one over on us.These particular groats arrived quickly, well packaged and very fresh. They will store for a very long time, but I suggest transferring them to some other more secure container for long term storage. They were just the right size and cooked up very consistently and with a nice nutty smooth flavor.Groats are something I tried because of the whole grain thing. I just wanted to add one thing that was more healthy to my diet. The instant oatmeal from a packet that I was eating for breakfast has about as much sugar as oatmeal and since it is pre-cooked and then sits in a packet for who knows how long, it is a far cry from actual healthy oatmeal. Enter my google search and how I found out about groats. I gave it a try and have never looked back.They are the whole oat with just the outer coating removed. It's the ultimate in whole grain. I like mine with a packet of Truvia and a little milk. It is firm, nutty and just the right amount of fun to eat.Cooking them is something not everyone agrees on in terms of method. I suggest bringing 1 cup of groats and 2.25 cups of water to a quick boil in a saucepan. As soon as it reaches rolling boil, remove from heat, stir it up well and then cover and leave on the back of the stove overnight. In the morning, just heat it back up on low heat for about 20 minutes to finish the cooking process. That makes about 4 servings and you can store it in a refrigerator for up to a week. Then just dish up a serving, zap for 30 seconds and enjoy a quick breakfast each morning.Other additions are the traditional brown sugar, cream, butter or anything else. Recently, I expanded my use and made a delicious and savory stuffing for a roasting chicken that was to die for.My recommendation: Give 'em a try! Results: I love these groats. They arrived quickly, well-packaged, and fresh. Although they can store for a long time, I recommend transferring them to a secure container for long-term storage. These groats are the perfect size and cook up consistently with a delightful nutty and smooth flavor. Adding them to my diet was a healthy choice I made, and I have never looked back. They are whole oats with just the outer coating removed, making them the ultimate whole grain. I enjoy mine with a packet of Truvia and a little milk. They have a firm texture, nutty taste, and bring just the right amount of enjoyment to each bite. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: fresh, heathy, smooth Negative: x

My dog has to take 1 1/2 pills twice a day. Before we tried these, we tried cheese, hot dogs, soft treats, and simply stuffing it in her throat. The soft treats would have been great but she always managed to find the pills(which are tiny)and spit them out after eating the treat, same with bits of hot dog. Cheese worked but it was annoying and sticky to use.We saw these pockets at our vets office and they are perfect. I can pre-load 14 pockets with the pills and fill one of those pill holder thingys that have a lid for a.m. and p.m. for 7 days. When you drop the pills into the pocket, you pinch the top closed, then mold it into a ball. They fit well into the pill holder and now my husband and I no longer have to ask each other "did you give Betty her pill?" twice a day anymore. I definitely recommend doing this because then you only have to mold them once a week and they smell bad-like super strong dog food. I guess she loves the taste, she begs for her pill every day now. She knows the sound of the pill holder lid popping open and runs in.warnings:1-when we first started using these-the dog had wicked gas for a few weeks-horrible but it eventually went away2-if you pre-load the pills into the pockets like I do, make sure to keep them up high. We left them too close to the edge of the counter once and our other dog managed to knock them down, get the lid off the thing and eat all the pill pockets. So he got about 5 days worth of seizure medicine! I had to call poison control! Now we make sure they are up high and pushed back. Results: These pockets are perfect for our needs. We can easily load 14 of them with pills and use a pill holder for convenient morning and evening administration for 7 days. The pockets are sealed by pinching the top closed and can be molded into a ball. I highly recommend pre-loading them once a week to avoid the strong smell of dog food. Our dog loves the taste so much that she eagerly begs for her pill every day. She even recognizes the sound of the pill holder lid and runs over when she hears it pop open. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: Convenience, Effective Negative: minor gas issue

This is excellent chocolate. Hachez is a quality brand. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I reserve that for the 88% Hachez in the red wrapper, and the 85% Valrhona. For those that had one bad experience with this chocolate (or any other that has otherwise gotten good reviews) give it a second try. You may have gotten a stale bar or perhaps a less than perfect batch. Fine chocolate will vary, although my experience is that Hachez is very consistent.If you want more bite go to World Market and get their 99% or 100%. I wouldn't recommend them as anything more than taste dares, however. If you're looking for a better deal on chocolate bars like this I do suggest you look at World Market. That's where I've found most of the dark chocolate I have tried and their prices typically run from $2.50 to $4.00 on most bars. Unfortunately the Hachez has been out of stock at my local store for several months, as has the Valrhona.I must say the "no flavor" review is fairly absurd. While I've found many dark chocolate bars that were sub standard, I have never found any dark chocolate that had "no flavor". Results: This chocolate is excellent, but I can't give it 5 stars because I reserve that rating for the 88% Hachez and 85% Valrhona chocolates. Fine chocolate can vary, and while this one is great, Hachez has proven to be consistently outstanding in my experience. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: good quality, consistent, good price Negative: x

I order several different flavors to give them some variety. I will also say that when I adopted my fatty 21 pounder, i tried for years to get him to lose weight. Recently the vet told me he lost 5 pounds! (that's like 50 pounds in humans) and I will honestly say the pounds didn't come off until I started feeding him this stuff. I gave him high quality dry food, pure tuna (pet food) from TJs and nothing worked. until this.And the price is right! I'm hooked.update: i still buy tiki cat for my furkids b/c it's better than supermarket brand. But the fatty 21 pounder lost weight (10 pounds total) because he has an overactive thyroid. I didn't find this out until recently and don't want to mislead anyone. So now he is on special pills, and oh yeah, prescription kidney food for him (he is older and kidney probs are common in older cats). The other two still devour this stuff, and when (formerly fat) kitty can sneak, he grabs from his sisters. Results: I can't personally taste the product, but I can judge by my cats' reactions. I have two good eaters and one picky eater, but now even the picky one jumps on the counter while I'm opening the cans. It has turned her into a total food lover. I'm hooked on this stuff and order various flavors for variety. Additionally, my overweight cat finally started losing weight after years of failed attempts. High-quality dry food and pure tuna didn't work, but this product did the trick. The price is also reasonable. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: positive impact. affordable Negative: x

I usually make my own chicken stock from scratch, but sometimes what I've got on hand isn't enough to fill the pot. When that happens, this is my go-to bouillon. It's also great for when you get to the bottom of a big pot of soup, and it's super thick. Adding a little of this vegetable stock can stretch out that last bit without sacrificing flavor. I've tried a lot of different chicken bouillons, but none of them have the wonderful flavor this vegetable one does. This is also the only bouillon I will drink straight, when I'm feeling sick. It's delicious!The sodium in this is comparable to other bouillons, and MSG (in some form, frequently listed as "autolyzed yeast extract") is in pretty much every canned soup and stock out there. Very few people are actually sensitive to it, or they would have gotten sick every time they ate Campbell's soup as a kid. But they see the scary letters and get alarmed. It's just silly.While I do think you should try to keep processing foods like this to a minimum because of the high sodium levels, a little bit here and there won't hurt you. Fast food and processed meals like TV dinners and Top Ramen are far worse. Practice moderation in all things and you will be fine. :-) Results: Among the various chicken bouillons I've tried, none of them have the wonderful flavor this vegetable one does. It's so delicious that I even enjoy drinking it straight when I'm feeling unwell. The sodium content is similar to other bouillons, and while MSG is present, it's a common ingredient in many canned soups and stocks. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: wonderful flavor, delicious Negative: x

I love a cup of Starbucks coffee, and I love a good flavored coffee. When Starbucks announced Natural Fusions Ground Coffee, I really looked forward to purchasing and tasting it. Caramel-flavored coffee is one of my personal favorites - as long as it is not sickenly artificial, e.g. Ghirardelli Chocolate Caramel flavored coffee. Based on my experience with regular Starbucks ground coffees, I was sure Starbucks would be able to produce an excellent flavored coffee.Unfortunately, I feel Starbucks missed the mark. The Caramel Flavored Natural Infusions Ground Coffee has almost no caramel odor and has even less caramel taste. Since the coffee I purchased was just being put onto the grocer's shelf, I know it was fresh and had not lost scent or flavor due to aging. In an attempt to be sure my dissatisfaction was not due to drinking my coffee black with sweetner only, I added cream to the cup. This did nothing to enhance or elevate the intensity of the caramel flavor. Because the coffee does have a mild caramel tone, it actually has a bit of a burnt taste.I am less than pleased with Starbucks Natural Fusions Caramel Flavored coffee and have rated it as an average brew. If you are interested in trying this coffee, visit the manufacturer's and put the word "fusions" in the search box. You will be able to print two coupons for $1.50 off a bag of this coffee so that you can decide for yourself whether Starbucks has produced a brew that meets its usual quality standards. Results: I found the Caramel Flavored Natural Infusions Ground Coffee to have a lack of caramel aroma and taste. Even though the coffee was fresh when purchased, it didn't deliver the desired caramel flavor and had a slightly burnt taste. Consequently, I rated it as an average brew. If you're curious to try it yourself, I recommend visiting the manufacturer's website Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: x Negative: lack of odor and smell, burnt taste

I love coffee. I hated it as a child only because mom did and i expect the stuff dad drank was crap.. i do remember him buying folgers instant when it first came out and saying it was one of the best..First time was the very early ice coffees at Duncan. From there any new brand and style. Gloria Jeans was favorite for years. Starbucks makes a great, well anything. i am not big into buying all there flavor enhancers. There standard expressos and capuchinos work best for me. Green Mountain has (before tasting this) the best IMO for the flavors. there are a few other brands that make good flavors but too many taste manufactured and candy like. i have a very enhanced sense of smell and taste. it is great for when i need to pick out fresh and quality but terrible when i smell bad odors.. so when i taste and smell things that are very strong to me , others don't notice or it seems very slight. With it so enhanced at times i get over load and have a hard time breaking it down. just some background so you understand that this really is a above and beyond flavor, for the ones that want it at times. don't get me wrong, i love just plain good coffee, but now it is nice to know i can get the best of flavors and coffee in one cup. i haven't had that option before.Hubby just bought me a bag of the flavor fusions carmel. first time ever. i usually go through a pound of beans in a month. Not sure if this comes in bean from but that is ok if i have them pre ground. i just like the flavor better of freshly ground but this coffee is the most smooth, the flavor is blended so well. Nothing about it tastes manufactured. If you try it with cream and sugar it is kicked up another notch of smooth flavoring. WOWfor now i have my favorite and my once a cup with no company coming over has now changed to 2+ before noon. The bag he bought this saturday is 1/2 full. That's a record for me and it will make incredible ice coffee, i just know it!Best so far!! Results: Starbucks is known for making great products, and personally, I enjoy their standard espressos and cappuccinos. However, when it comes to flavored coffees, I find that Green Mountain offers the best options, in my opinion. While there are other brands that produce good flavors, many tend to taste manufactured and candy-like. I love plain, high-quality coffee. However, it's nice to know that I can now enjoy the best of both worlds with flavored coffees that taste natural and delicious. This coffee, in particular, is exceptionally smooth, with a well-blended flavor profile. Adding cream and sugar takes it to another level of smooth and flavorful indulgence. I find myself enjoying multiple cups before noon now. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: smooth, well blended Negative: x

All of my Serenity House Teas arrived today and they couldn't have arrived on a better day: I had to have a 3 hour MRI and my back was terribly sore, it was miserable outside weather wise, cold, rainy, dark and dreary. When I opened the box, the very first tea I came upon was the Double Double Chocolate. I made a pot in my new Breville Automatic Tea Maker which has a automatic infuser basket which is wonderful for making the perfect pot of tea.I could smell the chocolate flavor filling the kitchen from the "Double Double Chocolate leaves." In fact when I opened the factory sealed bag from Serenity House the aroma of the chocolate tea leaves was so aromatic it was heavenly!When I poured the cup I thought I would need to add sugar but decided to take a sip first and I was glad I did! The tea was perfect! The chocolate flavor was out of this world!This is the perfect tea for anytime but especially when you may be feeling a little down, or you might have the need to lift someone's spirits as a gift, or a pick me up, or for thatspecial time when you want to tell someone "you care" or as a "get well present" to the chocolate lover in your life.I highly recommend this tea!I did buy 7 or 8 other teas from this vendor and I must say that I was highly impressed by the speed of shipment, the packaging, the way the teas were wrapped and the care they took to individualize my shipment. I am very delighted with the service I received and I know I will be ordering again!By the way, the labeling on the Serenity House teas are perfect! There are instructions on the front and very clear instructions on the back as well. Unlike other teas that you order online from other vendors, Serenity House takes all the guess work out of how to make the perfect cup of tea!Thank you, thank you, thank you! Results: The Double Double Chocolate tea from Serenity House is heavenly. The aroma of the chocolate tea leaves filled my kitchen, and the flavor was out of this world. It's a perfect tea for any occasion, especially when you want to lift someone's spirits or show you care. I highly recommend it.

Over the years I have tried many different sodas, and since I used to drink Hansen Beverage Diet Black Cherry Soda, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24), I was looking forward to these. The taste did not disappoint, they are genuinely black cherry.They have a more subtle taste than some of the other beans, and while it lingers, it becomes more of a jelly bean (sweeter) losing the full flavor as the bean disolves in your mouth. And while I enjoy the black cherry flavor, I really wouldn't get as excited about this single flavor the way I would some of the others. To put it plainly, I would enjoy it as a part of a mix, but wouldn't go looking for it. Compared to other jelly beans, this would rate a five, but compared to the other beyond gourmet beans, it ranks middle of the pack.If you would like to try it in a mix, I suggest David's Signature Beyond Gourmet Jelly Beans Soda Fountain Mix as a good choice. It not only has this particular flavor, but it also focuses on the other soda flavors. I think you might be happier that way.I originally received a complimentary pack of David's Signature Beyond Gourmet Jelly Beans Flavor Sampler from the distributor and found them some of the finest jelly beans I have found. If you have not tried any of the flavors, it is a good place to start. Results: The black cherry flavor of these jelly beans is genuine and satisfying. The taste is more subtle compared to other flavors, and it becomes sweeter as the bean dissolves in your mouth, resembling a jelly bean. While I enjoy the black cherry flavor, I personally wouldn't get as excited about this single flavor. In comparison to other jelly beans, it would receive a five-star rating, but among the other gourmet beans, it falls in the middle of the pack. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: good taste Negative: too sweet

Another reviewer said these looked like "hairballs that have been compressed into cookie shapes", and aside from the color, I'd have to agree. Each bite is far too large for an ordinary house cat, and the directions say "Treat your pet with 1 to 2 Boost Bites per day per 20 lb of body weight." My cat weighs much less than 20 pounds, so I cut one of these up into quarters.Well, I tried, anyway. They don't cut, they crumble. They seem to have a texture like a fibrous insulation I'd used for soundproofing. I picked a piece out of the crumbs and dust and fed it to my cat. He swatted at it a few times then swallowed it whole, even though it was twice as large as his usual treats, which he normally chews. He wasn't interested in more. I scooped together a pile of crumbs, added a couple of drops of water, and molded them into a lump. Wet, he loved it, first chewing up the lump then snuffling up the escaped crumbs. Right now he's trying to convince me that more testing is needed.The packaging hints at mysterious and wonderful benefits, but I'm a bit doubtful. It suggests:"Instinct Raw Boost Bites may help promote:*Vitality & energy*Digestive health*Lean musclesGive your pets Instinct Raw Boost Bites and boost their health with the purity of raw food."The raw ingredients, after chicken and turkey parts, include fruits, ground chicken bone, butternut squash, montmorillonite clay, lettuce and spinach, and dried kelp and sprouts, among other things. The package goes on to claim:"Our purpose is to empower people to transform the lives of pets. Freedom from allergies, improved skin & coat, weight loss, reduced incidence of ear infections, and healthier teeth and gums are just a handful of the amazing pet transformations that Nature's Variety customers experience."If there's an amazing pet transformation I'll update my review. Personally, I'm hoping for an amphibious vehicle, but I'll settle for a dog.These are too large and messy, they require added water to really get the cat interested, and this is a pretty hefty price tag for high maintenance treats, but he does seem to like them once they're wet. Results: The Boost Bites are too large for an average house cat, so I had to cut them into smaller pieces. However, they crumbled instead of cutting cleanly and had a fibrous insulation-like texture. I managed to mold the crumbs with a few drops of water, and my cat enjoyed it. The packaging suggests various health benefits, but I'm a bit doubtful. The ingredients include chicken, turkey, fruits, vegetables, and other components. These treats are messy and require added water to interest the cat. They also come with a high price tag for treats that require extra effort, but my cat does seem to enjoy them when wet. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: health benefit Negative: high price, big cut

I have a box of Milk Bone flavor snacks, a box of Beneful Baked Delights and one of Raw Boost Bites, lets see how they stack up with the first few ingredients.Milk Bone: Wheat flour, wheat bran, wheat and bone meal, poultry by-products, beef fat, wheat germ, salt---and then a list of ingredients that no one can pronounce.Beneful: Wheat flour, ground corn, glycerin, sugar, corn gluten, water, chicken by-product, preserved animal fat----and then to the food color dye etc...Raw Boost: Chicken, turkey, turkey liver, turkey heart, pumpkin seed, apples, carrots, butternut squash, flax-seed, montmorillonite clay, broccoli, lettuce, spinach, dried kelp, vinegar, parsley, salmon oil, citric acid, rosemary, blueberries etc. No food color, preservatives that are difficult to pronounce. They are made by a small company in NE that obviously care about the health of our pets.Another interesting comparison is the amount moisture and protein. Milk Bone: 12% moisture, 15% protein. Beneful: 20% moisture, 14% protein. Raw Boost: 4% moisture 40% protein.Rather interesting I thought, we usually don't have time to check out what's in our pets food at the store, always in a hurry. I just thought you might like look at this too.Anyway, back to the treats! We have two min. schnauzers who always love their "goodies"----and they are rather picky about their food. The Raw Boost Bites passed with flying colors, so I (with tongue in cheek) think these are the ones that picky pets would choose.Would recommend this product to any pet lover. Results: These treats are made by a small company in NE that care about the health of our pets. It's interesting to compare the moisture and protein content with other popular brands. Milk Bone has 12% moisture and 15% protein, Beneful has 20% moisture and 14% protein, while Raw Boost has 4% moisture and 40% protein.

NATURE'S VARIETY INSTINCT RAW BOOST BITES FREEZE-DRIED TREATS (aka "Boost Bites") provides a little treat for my cat, that isnt the JUNK FOOD normally found in name brand cat treats. The Friskies cat treats contain Brewers Rice, chicken meal, corn meal, animal fat, animal liver, malt, artificial flavors, brewers yeast, and a chemistry lab of various preservatives, and artificial colors. Compare that to the RAW ingrediants of BOOST BITES: Chicken, Turkey, Turkey liver and heart, Pumpkin Seeds, Apples, Carrots, ground chicken bone, butternut squash, ground flaxseed, clay (for natural vitamins), broccoli, lettuce, spinach, kelp, vinegar, parsley, honey, salmon oil, olive oil, Vitamin E, Rosemary, blueberries, Alfalfa sprouts, permissons, sage, and clove.The BOOST BITES are a RAW FOOD. For years I've been eating a raw food diet for dinner, consisting of MUESLI. Muesli was invented by a Swiss doctor, consisting of various raw grains, dried fruit, and unbaked seeds and nuts, soaked in soy milk. The concept behind raw foods, is that cooking destroys the enzymes in food, as well as many vitamins, which our body requires. If I'm going to eat a raw diet for my health, I might as well share that benefit with my cat. Our pets arent that different than us, and i'm NOT anthopomorphizing. They require these raw enzymes just like we do, and our pets are healthier with them. If I didnt believe in the health benefits of raw food, I wouldnt spend the extra money for Muesli.Needless to say, a raw food diet means nothing to my cat. He eats Boost Bites cos he thinks they taste great. In fact, I gave him a taste test, placing a bit of BOOST BITES, next to his Friskies treats. He goobled down the Boost Bites, and left the Friskies Treats lay there untouched. (Tho he ate those too, when he figured out he wasnt getting more Boost Bites.)These cost a bit more than the treats from the grocery store, but they are his vitamin suppliment. Along with the EFA fish oil capsels I squeeze on his food, my cat's recieving an excellent diet. His digestion is good, and his coat doesnt flake off all this excessive dander, that used to cause him to scratch himself raw. A healthy cat is a happy cat. And a happy cat, is a happy cat owner.

Being totally clueless about minimum recommended content of protein, fat and fiber in feline diets, and considerably worried about the healthfulness of this product after reading another Amazon reviewer's warning of what he found to be the way-too-high fat content of these treats--the label says "crude fat (min.) 34.0%"--, I went online and found a link to a National Research Council site titled "Your Cat's Nutritional Needs: A Science Based Guide for Pet Owners" which appears to be the work of a cadre of science professors from about a dozen universities. They say: "The maximum amount of fat in the cat's diet can be reasonably high without anyknown adverse effects. In many cat foods, 50% or more of the energy comes fromfat. Studies indicate that cat foods containing even higher amounts of fat are safe.At a minimum, cat foods should have a fat content of about 9% of dry matter."Which is a relief, considering how much my two three-year-old cats, Purrcilla and B.J. Honeycatt, seem to love this stuff. I think this is the first pet treat I've ever seen that is labeled as being for both dogs and cats. The size of these dry treats--there are about a dozen and a half of them in this 4 oz. bag-inside-a-box, each about the size of a half inch high stack of silver dollars--is more dog friendly than cat friendly, but the discs break in two easily; Once a day I crumble and split half a disc between their two bowls as a topper for their wet food...or sometimes instead, use it as a bedtime treat. So for two cats I estimate getting about a month's worth out of this package.I've bookmarked the site mentioned above for future reference (too bad Amazon doesn't allow us to link to outside sites in our reviews). Results: I think this is the first pet treat I've ever seen that is labeled as being for both dogs and cats. The size of the treats is more suitable for dogs, but they can be easily crumbled and split for cats. for two cats I estimate getting about a month's worth out of this package.

Okay, I'm rating these based on my cats' reactions to these treats. While one is the exact opposite of a picky eater (ANYTHING that is remotely edible that hits the floor is fair game in her mind), the other is a lot more finicky when it comes to snacks. Needless to say, the feline garbage can literally inhaled these treats and was looking for more. Cat #2 took a little more time/investigation when it came to the treat (that or she just likes for the other cat to be tormented while being held back from snatching up the treat as she sniffs at it for a minute, something I really don't put past her), but once she tried it, she was much quicker eating the second bite. Finding a treat that both cats enjoy and is made of seemingly healthy ingredients/less crappy filler is a great thing.That said, these things are NOT cheap. You do not get a lot for your money, though at least if you're buying them for cats, you can break up the round treats to share them among several cats or get a couple of feedings out of one piece. I can see these being more of a special occasion snack than an every day thing - at least while on the current budget. Results: While these treats are enjoyed by both cats and made with healthier ingredients, they are not cheap. You do not get a lot for your money, but the treats can be easily divided among multiple cats or used for multiple feedings. As a result, they may be more suitable as a special occasion snack rather than an everyday treat. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: healthy, enjoyed by cats Negative: expensive

We have 2 old Indoor Tabby cats about 12 years old who will eat ANYTHING and are 20 & 22 pounds. These monsters are still a terror that is fitting for their names of Lucy & Ethel...But I have to crush these up into crumbly pieces small enough for them to sample. First time they both LOVED it. Then Lucy threw it up and she has only thrown up 1 or 2 times in 12 years. Ethel throws up a few times ever week but did fine. From that time on however, they BOTH simply refused ever trying this food treat. So off we go to the neighbors & friends at work. 2 other families had the problem that NONE of the 6 other cats we tried would even try a sample of this food. We tried baby talking, tried bribery, tried everything but force feeding, the brats wouldn't got NEAR this stuff! Ok, now dogs. Well here is a completely different result. Every dog we tried simply DEVOURED the stuff. Now, when I walk out to get the mail I almost fear for my life with the way these dogs eyeball me:-) But has anyone ever read the label? The far content of 20% plus makes me a pet owner who would NEVER feed this to my pet. Not even as a treat. The manufacturer seems to almost (to me anyway) market this as a pet health food? Sorry, don't care what pet loves it or hates it, I would never give any to any pet since I love them way too much to feed them all that I see on that label. Every time I complain to out Veterinarian about how big our cats are he explains that they are perfect actually. That they are just very large and STRONG, that it is not fat and not to worry. Sure different that what MY doctor tells Me.... Again, I am no Vet, but read the label, look that best friend you call a pet in the eye and ask yourself if you feel right about stuffing it with fat? Results: The high fat content makes me a pet owner who would neverfeed this to my pet. Not even as a treat. I don't care what pet loves it or hates it, I would never give any to any pet since I love them way too much to feed them all that I see on that label. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: high fat content

My name is Patrick, and I am an American shorthair of indeterminate age and semi-discriminating tastes. My human asked me to write this review for the Instinct Raw Boost Bites: Chicken Formula she got through the Vine program because she is unable to sample them herself.I gobbled up the portion my human gave me right away. As far as I'm concerned, these deserve two paws up. My housemate Tiger, also enjoyed the Bites. She has a more discriminating palate than me, but she liked these just fine. We think they compare favorably to other feline brand snacks, like Pounce and Temptations. Each piece is larger than say, a Pounce pellet, which our human broke into smaller pieces, so one or two make a more than adequate snack.According to my human, the package says that the treats are grain-free and are made from "minimally processed, freeze dried raw ingredients." Ingredients include chicken, turkey, vegetables like butternut squash and broccoli, ground flaxseed, salmon oil, and mixed tocopherols with citric acid (?). I'm not entirely sure what all that stuff means, but I would recommend the Bites to other cats who enjoy chicken flavored snacks that are meant for cats. Results: These treats are a great alternative to other feline snack brands like Pounce and Temptations. The pieces are larger, and you can break them into smaller pieces for a satisfying snack. They are grain-free and made from minimally processed, freeze-dried raw ingredients, including chicken, turkey, vegetables like butternut squash and broccoli, flaxseed, salmon oil, and mixed tocopherols with citric acid. Based on these qualities, I highly recommend the Bites. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: enjoyed by my pets Negative: x

Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost Bites Freeze-Dried Treats, Chicken compares favorable with Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Salmon & Chicken Dinner for Cats, 12oz which my older cat really enjoys.As both foods are freeze-dried, they both need reconstitution--I heat some water, place some of the food in a shallow dish and pour the water over the food. I wait a few minutes, allowing the food to get soft, drain the water and then place in the cat dish. Its a great "hot" food alternative for the cat who is too finicky to eat other types of raw food.Nature's Variety is easier to portion. Each chunk of food comes as a disk around the size of a fifty-cent piece with about half an inch of thickness. Once softened, I have cut this a bit with a fork, but for the most part, my cat likes it so much she moves it off her plate to attack it whole. The Stella and Chewy food comes in smaller tater tot shapes which unfortunately, depending upon the way they are packed to be shipped can arrive crushed. For some reason, the crushed food does not appeal to my cat. In addition, it is difficult to decide just how much food to give the cat--once reconstituted, the food will go to waste if the cat, like mine, decides not to eat it all. Nature's Variety's size makes this easier to manage and will result in less waste.Bottom line? Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost Bites Freeze-Dried Treats, Chicken, makes for a seemingly delicious entree item for my very picky cat who purrs while she eats it. Easy to portion out and reconstitute, it makes for a raw treat to "serve" on top of kibble or just alone. Recommended.Diana Faillace Von Behren"reneofc" Results: Nature's Variety provides a great alternative for cats who are finicky eaters when it comes to raw food. The portion sizes are convenient, with each chunk of food being around the size of a fifty-cent piece and about half an inch thick. Nature's Variety's larger size helps prevent wastage Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: enjoyed by my pets, easy to portion 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 got the Raw Boost Bites in chicken flavor. Although my dogs will eat anything, they were especially excited about these treats.The quality of ingredients is excellent. No grains--just freeze-dried meats, fruits and veggies, with some spices, and preserved with vitamin E. They smell VERY chicken-y, moreso than conventional treats. The freeze-drying gives these biscuits an odd texture, kind of like cardboard. They hardly weigh anything.While the quality is good, there are a couple of negatives. First is the cost. My box only contained 18 treats. I have two big dogs, so if I gave them each three cookies/day (not unusual), this box would last us... three days. Second, while the size is fine for a larger dog, you'd have to break them for a smaller dog. This makes a huge, crumbly mess. Third, after eating one, both dogs do this weird smacking thing with their tongues for a full minute, as if part of the treat is stuck to the roof of their mouths. I don't know if this is bothersome for them, but it drives me insane.Overall, I'm giving this 4 stars based on the quality of ingredients, but I would not buy these because they're just not economical. I don't want to spend $20+/week on dog treats (sorry, doggies!). Results: The quality of ingredients is excellent. However, the treats have an odd texture, similar to cardboard, due to the freeze-drying process. They hardly weigh anything. While the quality is good, there are a couple of negatives. Firstly, the cost is high, and the box only contained 18 treats. For larger dogs, the size is suitable, but breaking them for smaller dogs creates a mess. Overall, I rate these treats 4 stars for ingredient quality, but they are not an economical choice for me. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: excellent ingredients, grains free Negative: crumbly, costly

When I saw Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost Bites Freeze-Dried Treats in the Chicken flavor, I thought it would be a nice treat for my four indoor cats. I opened it up the very night the package arrived and gave one to each cat. They were interested in these treats at first, licking at them, sniffing them, and one cat even nibbled a little of it. That was the extent of their interest, however. All four treats were still laying on the floor 24 hours later. I've never seen these cats turn their nose up at a treat and they have never left one alone that long.I set cat food on the porch for some of the neighborhood strays, and along with those kitties I see raccoons, skunks, and possums visit my porch every night. I took the four treats my cats turned down and put them on the porch. The next day I found that not even the scavengers liked these treats.The package says these treats are for cats or dogs, so I took the rest of the package to work, where my boss brings his dog every day. CD (the dog) wasn't so sure about the first one, but took it anyway and ate it after looking at it for a bit. After that first one, she ate another right away when she got it and seems to enjoy them without hesitation now.I would say that these are probably not a good buy for your cats, based on my kitties' reactions, but your dog might give it a shot. Results: I purchased these treats hoping to treat my indoor cats, but they showed little interest in them. Even after 24 hours, the treats were untouched. This was surprising, as my cats usually enjoy treats. Since the package indicated that the treats are suitable for both cats and dogs, I decided to bring them to work for my boss's dog. The dog was hesitant at first but eventually ate the treat and now enjoys them without hesitation. based on my kitties' reactions, but your dog might give it a shot.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I have a very very picky dog. It's pretty routine to pick out new treats that look like they should be delicious, but have them be completely snubbed once we get them home. I would honestly probably never have taken a risk on purchasing this treat (as opposed to getting a review sample for free) due to the price, because I'd have assumed there was such a slim chance my dog would agree to eat them. It turns out, though, that she thinks they're fantastic. She gets the same slightly crazed look when you offer her these that she gets for a chunk of hamburger.They suggest that you can crumble them over kibble to make it more appealing, but that bit didn't seem to have much effect on her. Still, she really likes them far more than just about any other treat product I've ever offered her, so I'm impressed. I'm doubly impressed that the list of ingredients involved looks so healthy and that this is basically food rather than treats, even if the dog thinks otherwise.You definitely have to make your own call on how much you're comfortable spending. These aren't exactly going to be a weekly purchase for me, but I fully expect that I'll be buying her a box periodically so that I can have them on hand for when I want something special to give her that's safer to carry around with me than hunks of roast chicken. Results: I was initially hesitant to purchase this treat due to the price, but I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, my dog absolutely loves them! She gets the same slightly crazed look when you offer her these that she gets for a chunk of hamburger. she really likes them far more than just about any other treat product.

I am a big fan of these treats, which I was given a sample to try. First, they were very easy to break into smaller pieces, in comparison to some other freeze dried treats I've bought like freeze-dried liver. This is important as I like to use treats for training and need to break them into much smaller pieces than most treats are sold. I also will break them up to use inside puzzle toys like the Nina Ottosson Tornado . The ingredients are excellent, and being freeze-dried, have a good shelf life compared to some soft treats. Also important to me is they are made in the USA. I'm refusing to buy treats made in China as many dog treats are. Just too many unanswered questions.Most important of course is whether my dog likes them. Now, my dog is not very picky, but he definitely reacts with more enthusiasm in training according to how much he likes the treat being used. And boy, does he LOVE these! He was sniffing around the shipping box even before I opened it which isn't something he typically does. Chicken is definitely high on his list of favorite foods, and these seem to have a very desirable smell and taste for my dog. I will definitely put them on my list to buy again. Results: These treats are incredibly convenient for training purposes as they are easy to break into smaller pieces. The high-quality ingredients and freeze-dried nature ensure a good shelf life My dog absolutely loves these treats. I will definitely be purchasing them again in the future. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: easy to break, excelent ingredients Negative: x

WOW, what more can I say but A++++ from ALL my pets. I tried Raw Boost Bites, a freeze dried treat; the chicken Formula. I loved the ingredients. Almost all real items I understand and would eat myself (if I wanted to eat that healthy). The inside package has a zip top to keep the bites fresh. Each treat is a round "disk" of dried ingredients, a little larger than a cracker and thicker. There is very little if any smell to them, and they are dry to the touch. I broke one Boost Bite into 4ths and gave some to each dog to try. The box says 1 Boost Bite per day per 20 pounds of body weight. I have a 40 pound, a 20 pound, and a 12 pound dog. Each gobbled it up immediately and looked for more. I had one piece left and the cat was looking at me I offered it to him and he gobbled it up. Then I re-inspected the front of the box. It says it's for dogs AND cats! I have 3 cats. One cat will eat anything, but the other two are finicky. There was no turning down the Boost Bites. They all loved it. If you have a finicky cat and are looking for a healthy treat, this has got to be your next purchase. I was amazed at how much they enjoyed them. Dog and cat tested. 6 out of 6 give it 4 paws up! Results: I tried the Raw Boost Bites in the chicken formula, and I was impressed with the high-quality ingredients. The packaging is convenient with a zip top to keep the treats fresh. They have minimal smell and a dry texture. Both my dogs and cats absolutely loved these treats, and I was amazed at how much they enjoyed them. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: loved the ingredient, healthy Negative: x

These are natural, healthy, freeze dried treats that are about the size of a half dollar and a half-inch thick. They're a little too big to fit in a Kong or the rubber mesh ball I put treats in for my dog so I give her these treats as a reward. The texture is just what you'd expect from something that is freeze-dried and they're quite crumbly so they will make a mess on the floor. Fortunately, my dog is such a hog that she wolfs up every last crumb. Obviously she loves the flavor but my dog isn't picky so I would be shocked if she didn't like these. I would buy these again although probably not very often due to the slightly high price which is a little higher than what I usually pay for treats. I most often get the Mother Nature biscuits made by Natura. I gave these treats four stars due to the price and the size being too big. The ingredients are as follows: Chicken, Turkey, Turkey Liver, Turkey Heart, Pumpkinseeds, Apples, Carrots, Ground Chicken Bone, Butternut Squash, Ground Flaxseeds, Montmorillonite Clay, Broccoli, Lettuce, Spinach, Dried Kelp, Apple Cider Vinegar, Parsley, Honey, Salmon Oil, Olive Oil, Mixed Tocopherols with Citric Acid (a natural preservative), Rosemary, Blueberries, Alfalfa Sprouts, Persimmons, Inulin, Sage, Clove. Results: These freeze-dried treats are natural and healthy, but they are larger in size and quite crumbly, which can be messy. I rated them four stars due to their price and the size being too big. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: healthy, varietys of flavor Negative: x

My male cat isn't too into treats. We even got some plain freeze-dried chicken chunks recently and he was excited but not freakout-excited like my other cat gets.But as soon as he got a whiff of this, he went from disinterested in treat time to holy-moly-let-me-climb-your-leg-give-it-to-me-now excited. He ran in circles trying to anticipate where I'd put it down!The pucks are kind of huge for cats - 1.75" diameter - but they're a soft puck made of freeze-dried powdery foods, so it's easy for them to nibble and fuss with it until it's gone. It takes them about a minute to fully finish their pucks, even with ravenous chomping.It has natural ingredients, but it's not all meat, so there are veggies in there as well. Is that good? I don't know. Most "primal" foods do have some vegetation in there as well, so it seems standard for this type of pet food line.The only thing I dislike is that the pucks are powdery enough that they make a crumbly mark where they are set down, so if I treat the cats on my carpet or couch, there's powder left over that they can't get at without licking it up. Other than that, this is a winner. We are rotating between this treat and the freeze-dried chicken breast treat, and one cat prefers these and one cat prefers the other, so overall, I definitely like this product and plan to buy more when my initial package runs out. Results: These treats contain natural ingredients, including both meat and vegetables. However, they can be powdery and leave crumbs when set down. I personally like this product and intend to purchase more. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: naturan ingredient, soft Negative: powdery residue, too big for cats

I have two Norwegian Elkhounds, one 6 years old and one 6 months old, and a 10 year old cocker spaniel. I am always looking for new treats to use as rewards for them. So, I took up the chance to give these a try.First thing I noticed, is that these treats come in a almost "health food/gourmet" type bag leading one to believe that they are an all natural healthy treat. After reading the ingredients they are just like most other treats on the market. There is absolutely nothing special about them. That's ok, dogs like treats.Second the individual treats are fairly large. Even my adult Elkhound who is 50 pounds, I would never give her a full sized treat from this bag. For the ingredients they are just too big.Third, the packaging is made to make it look like the box is plumb full of treats. When in actuality there are not that many treats in the bag at all. But, keep in mind that each treat should realistically be broken up into 3-4 pieces at a minimum.Did the dogs like them? Sure they did, there was no messy "side effects" after digestion so that's always a plus. But, at the end of the day the size of the treats, how few there really are, and the ingredients just make this a very average treat. Nothing special here. Results: The treats are packaged in a way that gives the impression of being a high-quality, natural treat. However, upon reading the ingredients, they are similar to other treats on the market. The individual treats are relatively large, so they may need to be broken into smaller pieces. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: loved by my pets Negative: too large, misleading package

First of all I used the bites as a treat and not as a substitute for their normal kibble. I have two dogs one 20 pds and one 30 pds and each dog gets two treats a day. I typically buy my treats from 3 Dog Bakery or some other high end dog store and over time feel like I know what my dogs like. As far as giving the bites as a treat they are way too fatty and high in protein to give a whole size bite as a treat (these were designed to be a subsitute for kibble) so I broke them in half and gave one to each dog. They ate them and continued to eat them daily until I ran out. However my dogs go crazy for certain treats and will take a treat to a safe place and if a treat is really good the bigger dog will try and get the crumbs from the smaller dog. WIth the Nature Variety the dogs merely took the treat and ate it on the spot. They did not search out crumbs and did not seem to be overly excited for this treat as others I have given them in the past.Once again this was meant to subsitute kibble but in my opinion it would get expensive quickly so I used my sample bag for treats. Results: I used the Raw Boost Bites as a treat for my dogs, but found them to be too fatty and high in protein to give as a whole size bite. I ended up breaking them in half and giving one to each dog. While they ate them daily until I ran out, they didn't show the same level of excitement or eagerness compared to other treats I've given them. The dogs simply took the treat and ate it without searching for crumbs or displaying heightened enthusiasm. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: convenient Negative: too fatty, protein is too high, expensive

These treats are definitely different. They are practically weightless, and have an odd texture like a cross between a packing peanut and paperboard, with a dusty exterior. For some reason, I keep thinking of a rice cake or a meringue cookie when I look at these. This is not necessarily bad, it is just different.My schnauzer was more hesitant with this treat, I think it was due largly to the texture, as she is used to hard, crunchy stuff. She took one big chomp and it crumbled, ending up as a pile of small pieces at her feet that she ate carefully, one or two at a time, until it was finished.The smell of these treats is appealing to me, actually. We have the chicken variety. Unlike some meat treats that seem to radiate with a salty, bouillion-cube-like scent, these have a subtle chicken soup-like fragrance.The package contains 4 oz., which works out to about 16 treats. This is pricey compared to, say, Milkbones, but as a human who is willing to spend more for quality ingredients, I wouldn't call the cost outrageous, especially since I don't give these to my dog daily.I prefer treats that work my dog's instincts to gnaw and chew, and if her teeth get a bit of cleaning at the same time then I'm happy. The Raw Boost Bites don't give her any of that. However, as an occasional treat to give her something interesting and different, these are a fairly good option. Results: These treats have a unique texture and are very lightweight. They have a subtle chicken soup-like fragrance instead of a strong meat scent. While they don't provide the gnawing and chewing experience that some treats do, they can be a good occasional option for something interesting and different for my dog. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: x Negative: pricey

I tested this product out on two dogs and a cat. Daisy, my neighbor's border collie, went "absolutely ape" for it, in the words of her owner. I saw this myself; the dog would "walk" for twenty feet if you held the treat up just out of her reach and started walking away. My girlfriend's dachshund Monkey had a similar reaction. Monkey would snatch up the treat and run into the next room away from everyone else, and scarf it down in the corner. The treats were a bit large for her to swallow whole (about the size of Kennedy half-dollars and about half an inch thick), so I started breaking them up for her so she wouldn't choke in her enthusiasm.Speaking of breaking them up, they become very crumbly, so make sure you either break them over the counter or be prepared to sweep.The crumbs actually worked to my advantage with my girlfriend's cat Cleo. She would not eat the treat by itself, even when broken up. However, when I broke it up in her food, she ate it, though she gave no indication that it was any different from her normal food.The Raw Boost Bites package get bonus points for being irresistible to canines and having healthy ingredients. Since it's advertised as a cat treat as well, I can't give it five stars since Cleo was apathetic toward it, but I know what I'm buying the dogs from now on. Results: The treats were too large for my dog to swallow whole, so I had to break them up to ensure her safety. However, they became quite crumbly in the process, which can be a bit messy. Despite that, the Raw Boost Bites package earns extra points for being irresistible to dogs and containing healthy ingredients. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: healthy Negative: too large, crumbly

If you get these (and I do highly recommend them) you will look at them and think is this sand paper? They are freeze dried so they have an odd consistency. But your pets saliva quickly solves that. They must smell great, for our cats at least they LOVE them. Love them. They like other treats but I have never seen them like any treat more.I take one 'biscuit' and break it in half. I then break each half in half. I serve 2 quarters to one cat and the other 2 to the other. They gulp them down. And the ingriedient list is spectacular. So good I have been tempted to try them. The highest weight ingridients are chicken, turkey, turkey live, turked heart, pumpkinseeds....Then a bunch of other mostly vegetables. Crude protien is minimum of 40%.I feel great about giving these treats to my cats. By far the healtiest treats we have ever given them. They also come in a nice package with a resealable inner plastic bag. I would highly recommend these for cats and small dogs. Medium and big dogs this can be an expensive product. also a bonus made by a small US independent pet food company. I was lucky enough to get to try these but I will also quite likely buy them. I just feel very good about getting high quality 'real food' into our pets' diets. Results: The freeze-dried texture may be unusual, but it doesn't bother pets once they start eating them. The treats have a delightful smell, especially for cats who absolutely love them. The ingredients used are of excellent quality, so much so that I've been tempted to try them myself. These treats are the healthiest option we've found for our pets, and the packaging with the resealable bag is convenient. I highly recommend these treats for cats and small dogs. However, they may be costly for medium and large dogs. Overall, I'm happy to provide our pets with high-quality, real food treats. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: high quality ingredients, healthy, resealable Negative: expensive, feels like sandpaper

I was excited to get some new treats for my cat. When I had the package in front of her she was rubbing all aganist it so I was hoping she would like them. I gave one to her whole at first and she ignored it. I thought the treat may be too big for her since they were a bit bigger than silver dollars so I broke it up and put it in her food dish with some of her food. She basically ate all her food but ignored the pieces of the treat.I do like that there is nothing artificial in these treats. The box states that what is contained in the treats include: chicken, turkey, turkey liver, turkey heart, pumpkinseeds, apples, carrots, ground chicken bone, butternut squash, ground flaxseeds, montmorillonite clay, broccoli, lettuce, spinach, dried kelp, apple cider, vinegar, parsley, honey, salmon oil, olive oil, mixed tocopherols with citric acid, rosemary, blueberries, alfalfa sprouts, persimmons, inulin, sage, and clove. However, even if it is all natural, if the cat won't eat it, it does me no good.I know all cats and dogs are different so some will like the treats. However for me, I will not be buying these in the future. Results: I was excited to try these new treats for my cat, especially since they are made with natural ingredients. However, unfortunately, my cat did not take a liking to them. While I understand that all pets have different preferences Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: no artificial ingredients Negative: too big

I used to feed my pets a raw diet (now I feed Blue Buffalo Wilderness formula) so I was pleasantly surprised to see a commercial product even MENTIONING raw feeding on the label. The fact that it's made here in the USA is another huge plus in its favor.At first I wasn't sure what to make of these, they look....weird. Like space food or something. My dog heard the package rustling though and immediately ran over to see what I had. When I held a piece out to her she was reluctant; she sniffed it thoroughly and acted like she wasn't going to eat it. No surprise there, she likes very few treats. I haven't had much luck testing out pet products on her, as she is so picky. (You wouldn't think a mutt who ate trash for months as a stray would be this picky but she is) She decided though that she wanted this treat: she snapped it out of my hand and ran behind the couch to eat it, so that no one could even *think* of taking it from her. Normally she just takes her favorite treat a few feet away from me, so the fact that she ran and hid to eat this means a lot.My elderly (15 year old) cat even showed an interest in these, which is not normal for her in the least. I haven't seen her accept a treat in YEARS.My pets' enthusiasm for this treat puts it on my recommend and buy list! Results: I was thrilled to see my dog's excitement when she heard the package rustling. Usually, she takes her treats a few feet away from me, but this time she ran and hid to enjoy it. It's been years since I've seen her show such enthusiasm for a treat. Based on my pets' reaction, I highly recommend this treat Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: recommended, made in USA Negative: weird appearance

Was it the sound of the plastic bag or the smell? Anyway, two of my cats came running when I opened the package. These things are WAY too big for cats, so I broke off pieces for each of them. The girl ate a piece after much pawing, but would not eat a second small piece. The boy sniffed and sniffed and pawed and pawed, but wouldn't eat a bit, and both of them left. Then our third cat walked in, obviously intrigued by the smell. He ate the others' leftovers and looked around for more. So, I guess that's about a 33 percent acceptance rate.Besides being way too big for cats, these things look... weird is the nicest word I can think of. They look like hairballs that have been compressed into cookie shapes. They even have weird hair-like things sticking out of them.The ingredients include pumpkin seeds, apples, carrots, squash, flax seeds, broccoli, and more plant products. Cats eat meat. And I really have to wonder what function another ingredient, "Montmorillonite Clay" (a.k.a. Fullers Earth) serves.These are sized for a medium to large dog (following the directions, an average cat should get less than half a "cookie" per day--if they even want one), and it seems to me the ingredients are more suited for dogs as well...if you are OK with the clay. Results: Two of my cats came running when I opened the package, but I found the treats to be too large for cats. I had to break them into smaller pieces for each of them. In addition to the size issue, the treats had a strange appearance, looks like compressed hairballs with hair-like strands sticking out.

I don't really know what to make of these treats. I was first drawn to them because of the claim they were for both cats and dogs and since it is something of an extra special treat it's nice to have something the whole family can enjoy. But I was not impressed on any level. Lets be honest, we all by these over priced pet treats for ourselves and not the pets. If you honestly wanted to make your pet ecstatic you would go to the butcher shop, get tub of chicken livers or giblets, cook them up and have very happy pets. For me this product is outrageously expensive, has an offensive smell and a texture of sawdust.The makers are trying to draw you in with this idea of it being "Raw" but do you want to feed a pet, or better yet even handle a product where the main ingredient is chicken if it actually is raw? Though it doesn't say so on the package I don't think this item is actually freeze dried raw meat, but instead is supposed to appeal to the human's desire to feed their pet something that's healthy, i.e. raw diet for dogs. But I see nothing in this item to make it any healthier than many other pet treats that are much cheaper in price. I was also a little shocked at some of the health claims made on the package too. Apparently, "Freedom from allergies, improved skin & coat, weight loss, reduced incidents of ear infections and healthier teeth & gums are just a handful of the amazing pet transformations that Nature's Variety customers experienced." I have to call B.S. on that claim.The only real positive thing I can say about this product is that on one cat loved it. My dog and other cat ate it, but weren't crazy about it.2 stars. Results: I was not impressed with these treats. They are overpriced, have an offensive smell, and a sawdust-like texture. I don't see any health benefits that make them worth the higher price compared to other, more affordable pet treats. The package's health claims were also questionable. On a positive note, one of my cats loved them, but my dog and other cat were not as enthusiastic. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: expensive, bad texture, bad smell

Just so you don't think this is a useless product, as many of these reviews seem to suggest...It's somewhat expensive (which is why it gets 4 starts instead of 5), but it did help me eliminate my squirrel problem.I had been waking up every morning to see as many as 6 squirrels happily frolicking in my backyard. Didn't see this as much of a problem until they worked their way onto my roof and into every open cavity in my house. Sealing these openings didn't eliminate their presence entirely. Cutting back tree access worked to some extent, but the ones who really wanted to get back on the roof would ultimately find a way.Shortly after discovering that my gutter had become a nesting area for the squirrels, I declared war on the critters, and picked up both the Critter Ridder spray and granules. I generously applied the granules to the roof and gutter areas, and the spray to the trunks of all the trees that they would frequent.The next morning, there were no signs of squirrels anywhere near my house. Sure, my trees smelled of pepper for a day or two, but the Critter Ridder worked in helping me relocate these little buggers to someone else's yard.Will it work for your raccoon problems? - NO IDEA. But it did send my squirrels to another, more-welcoming, part of town. And when one returns, a healthy reapplication of the spray seems to get rid of them for another few weeks. Results: Although it is somewhat expensive, Critter Ridder proved to be effective in helping me eliminate my squirrel problem. I applied the granules to the roof and gutter areas and sprayed the trunks of trees. The next morning, there were no signs of squirrels near my house. While the trees had a pepper smell for a day or two, but it worked in helping me relocate these little buggers to someone else's yard.

We had a female squirrel who decided to build a nest in the garden outside our bedroom window. Wouldn't you know it, soon after she gave birth to a pair of pups! They were adorable and it was fascinating to watch them grow... However, once they were old enough to leave the nest and start exploring, holy moly! They absolutely trashed our garden and made an unbelievable amount of noise every morning at the crack of down.As much as we loved the squirrels, my wife and I were starting to run out of patience. After 12-13 weeks (typical weening age for baby squirrels), we placed the Critter Ridder granules about 4 feet away from their nest to see what would happen. The mother squirrel came out right away to investigate and trod all over it. For a brief moment, I didn't think the product had worked... then literally two seconds later the squirrel turned around and high tailed it out of there! The smell was so bad that the squirrel and her pups spent the night sleeping outside their nest, as far away from the granules as possible. Keep in mind the granules were placed nowhere near the nest. The Critter Ridder granules had worked a little too well! Not long after that the squirrel and her family moved out. Although we felt bad about the outcome, my wife and I were grateful to at least get some sleep again.Docking one star just because it's a little bit expensive. Results: We were running out of patience with the squirrels, so we decided to try placing the Critter Ridder granules near their nest. The mother squirrel came out to investigate and walked all over the granules. At first, I doubted if the product had worked, but just seconds later, the squirrel turned around. The smell was so strong that the squirrel and her pups ended up spending the night away from their nest, far from the granules. The Critter Ridder granules had worked a little too well!

I had a female skunk burrow under my shed preparing her den for her babies. Every time I walked out of the house or pulled into the driveway, she sprayed. I was referred to a pest control expert and he guaranteed to get rid of the skunk before she delivered her litter. He charged me $300. I was desperate to get rid of her without killing her. He set 3 traps and 2 days later he said she was in one of them. I paid his fee thinking she was gone for good. Three days later, my skunk was back!!! I called the guy for a refund, he said no and that I should try Critter Ridder. I bought it, I sprinkled it around the shed's perimeter, and also around the deck and house. Voila!! She took off like a bullet. I now sprinkle this wonderful deterrent in the basement, attic, & shed floor to keep the mice away. I couldn't live without Critter Ridder, and I recommend it to everyone. Many of my friends tried it and agreed, it keeps unwanted animals away. I live a block from the beach and people love to walk their dogs there. The dogs have to go, some of my grass and curbside plants have been ruined. Now with Critter Ridder, the dogs go on the other side of the road. Thank you CR!! Oh, and I filed a complaint against the so-called pest expert. Guess what - he's out of business and long gone. My mistake, I admit, but I'll take Critter Ridder any day!! Results: I highly recommend Critter Ridder to everyone. It has been effective in keeping unwanted animals away, Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: recommended, effective Negative: x

Breast milk has a plethora of advantages over formula. Until recently, one of these advantages was that it contained DHA and ARA, fatty acids that are important components of brain structure.Recently, manufacturers have begun adding DHA and ARA to their infant formula. Some studies have indicated that addition of DHA and ARA to formula provides an advantage of 6-7 IQ points over normal formula, nearly as much as the IQ point advantage of breast fed babies.However, the DHA and ARA added to infant formulas are chemically extracted from certain species of algae and mold using solvents, and are not identical to the DHA and ARA found in breast milk. There have also been reports that the DHA and ARA supplemented formula causes diarrhea in some children. In our daughter, it seemed to cause softer and messier stool, though it wasn't quite diarrhea.Baby's only DHA and ARA is extracted from egg yolks using a water based process, and thus may avoid some small risk associated with the solvent extracted versions. It's mixed into formula that isn't fortified with DHA and ARA or into other foods. We use it with Baby's Only toddler formula, and it does not cause messy stool with our daughter.Breast feeding is still better than any formula, of course - it has other advantages, such as a protective effect against infections that the formula makers haven't figured out yet. However, if you must formula feed for some reason - for us, my wife's pumping at work didn't keep up with the baby's demand, and eventually we also had to stop breast feeding to try to start a second baby - mixing Baby's Only DHA and ARA supplement into a nonsupplemented formula is probably the next best thing. Results: Breast feeding is still better than any formula, of course - it has other advantages, such as a protective effect against infections that the formula makers haven't figured out yet.

This item was a part of an order that had two other items, each from different sender. I received the first two within a few days, this one never showed up. When it was already a few days late I had an order number so I checked where it was to see why I haven't still gotten it. It was delivered. To San Diego, California. I live in SLC Utah! OK. Just a mistake, no problem. I emailed the company and they gave the shipping number to check where it is because they sent it. First of all, they gave me a wrong number, luckily I had mine saved from when I made the order. When I copy pasted the delivery to Sand Diego info and asked them what is up with that, I never got the reply back. I tried again a few days later asking do they intend to resend this item or will they give me a refung....still no replay. This is not a lot of money, but it pisses me of that I ordered something through Amazon and the company is doing this. I will most definitely never order anything from them again, and today I am contacting Amazon to see what they can do about it. it isn't the money, it's the principal! Results: I ordered a product through Amazon but encountered several issues with the company. The first two items arrived on time, but the third item never showed up. Upon checking the tracking information, it was discovered that the item had been delivered to San Diego, California instead of the customer's location in SLC, Utah. The customer contacted the company via email, but received an incorrect shipping number and did not receive a response regarding the issue.

I bought this thing after a recommendation from a pet store rep. My dog hardly touched the stuff, and then I looked at the ingredients: one of the first things on it was corn-a grain known to cause allergies in dogs. As a matter of fact, corn might be the most allergy-prone food amongst dogs. Not to mention, thanks to our friends at Monsanto, it is almost always Genetically modified (GMO) or a franken-food, unless it's organic. Real "premium" dog foods brag that they've no corn.Right at the top of the list of ingredients is chicken-by-products, another no-no among real "premium" dog foods. This means all the waste that it is usually thrown out from the chicken since it's not real meat. Cheap dog foods put this in their food simply because it's cheap, but it's not real meat. A little further down you will notice BHA, an artificial preservative, which again real "premium" dog foods do not have.In short, BilJac is a joke. It is basically, insanely overpriced Alpo, with no organic ingredients whatsoever, and uses all the shortcuts, filler, and chemistry that the cheapest dog foods on the market use. Don't be fooled by the old-fashioned appeal of the company's 60 years in business. There is nothing but modern chemistry in the bag, and all the folksy appeal will not make up for cheap, lousy ingredients. I ended up buying Blue Buffalo Wilderness and I have not looked back. Results: I discovered that BilJac dog food contains corn, which is known to cause allergies in dogs. Additionally, chicken-by-products were listed as one of the main ingredients, which is typically avoided in high-quality dog foods. This suggests that it includes the waste parts of the chicken, rather than real meat. Furthermore, I noticed the presence of BHA, an artificial preservative commonly found in cheaper dog foods. BilJac is an overpriced version of Alpo without any organic ingredients. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: bad ingredients

It is second nature for me to check ingredients before purchasing a product. I am pleased overall with the ingredient listing of this product and really like the taste. I am not sure where they get their yeast extract because this term can be a "hidden" form of MSG, but have not had a problem using this product. The corn ingredient is organic, so I am willing to think it not GMO. I was very glad to see they use sea salt. The fact they use sea salt was one of the reasons I bought this product. Rapunzel products are very tasty and, in my opinion, one of the best for making a good soup or broth.Many people avoid salt thinking it is a good thing. The harmful "salt" to avoid is the product we grew up with, you know, the "salts" in boxes off the grocery store shelf. The body doesn't recognize or break down the heated, hardened crystals of these unnatural, refined so-called salts. The salts found in nature will quickly dissolve in liquids and are recognized and used by the body. Sea salts, Himalayan salts, etc. also contain minerals and are beneficial and I have used these "real" salts with no problem at all for many years. Do some research on the internet and discover the healing properties of natural salts. Results: I am pleased overall with the ingredient of this product and really like the taste. The organic corn ingredient gives me some assurance that it is not genetically modified. I particularly appreciate the use of sea salt, one of the best for making a good soup or broth. Many people avoid salt thinking it is a good thing. Sea salts, Himalayan salts, etc. also contain minerals and are beneficial.

The standard curry Paste by Kitchens of India (KoI) makes for a quick and easy method to making a rich and flavorful curry. To make the curry it is a simple process that only takes me no more than 30 minutes to make. Throw about 1.0 lbs of chicken in a pan (you could use fish or vegetables if you want). Add the entire packet of paste + 1 cup of water. Just mix until the paste blends with the water and dissolves and well there you go! Just simmer for about 20-25 minutes before turning the heat up to high for about 3-5 minutes and you are done. A delicious curry with chicken(or vegetable/fish) in under 30 minutes.The curry itself tastes best when hot, in my opinion. There is a mild spice to this curry and while it is a good quality product, this curry also tends to taste a little on the salty side. It is also a bit sweeter than the other chicken curry that KoI sells (Butter Chicken Curry). While I do enjoy this curry it is not my favorite. That goes to Kitchens of India Paste for Butter Chicken Curry which has a bit more spice to it.OVERALL this is a good curry that doesn't have too big of a bite in terms of spice. It has rich flavor and can go best with chicken, though vegetables and fish also work well for this curry. Being easy to make in under 30 minutes, this is a good mild curry that will not disappoint.* Nutritional Information ** (Entire packet)Each packet is 3.5oz (100g) and contains FOUR Servings.

While it is a good quality product, it is not my personal favorite. Overall, it provides a rich flavor and pairs well with chicken, although it can also be enjoyed with vegetables and fish.

I started trying this line of curry pastes when I moved into a neighborhood that had lots of Indian and Pakistani restaurants. I came to love the food and wanted to make some at home, but didn't know how to make my own curry. Seems complicated and time-consuming. Luckily, the supermarkets near me carry foods that appeal to the same folks, and that's how I discovered this brand.I've enjoyed their curry pastes very much. It's so easy, the ingredients are healthy, and the best part is, it tastes like someone's Mama made it at home (and this Mama knows what she's doing). I've enjoyed their Hyderabadi and Lamb pastes, too, but this is my favorite because it's milder, more comfortable for a late night dinner with the Mrs., and goes well with lots of ingredients. Stir it in a deep frying pan or a medium saucepan, with a cup of water, and toss in the veggies or meat you think you'd like. Bring to a boil, then simmer till the meat's cooked or the veggies are as tender as you like. It can be ready in 10-12 minutes if you're just doing soft veggies like zucchini and mushroom.Tonight I made it with chicken breast tenderloins, peas, zucchini, a little carrot, half a cup of mushrooms, most of a Cali avocado, 1 tomato, 4-5 scallions. I simmered it 18 minutes and it's so, so tasty, rich and delicious.Really great that this lush, inviting food is totally free of preservatives, too! No cholesterol, low fat, low sugar, and packed with exotic flavor. I LOVE IT. Results: I absolutely love Kitchens of India's curry pastes! They offer a convenient and healthy way to enjoy delicious curries. The flavors are so authentic, it feels like a homemade meal. It pairs well with a variety of ingredients. these pastes are free of preservatives, low in cholesterol, low in fat, low in sugar, and packed with exotic flavors.

These oils are great to use instead of zest or extract. They are packed with flavor and taste fresh, not fake or alcoholic like many extracts tend to do. I bought a glass eye dropper to dispense the oil, do not use one with a plastic tube as it can damage it and leave the plastic scarred. Keep this in mind too if you are using the oils to flavor seltzer water, use glass and not a plastic tumbler. It tastes fresher and more full bodied than any store-bought flavored seltzer and you only need one drop for a 24 oz glass.I use the lime in Thai dishes, the lemon in chicken marinades and a drop of the orange in cookies is very tasty -- there are a million uses for them. You can even use them for cocktails.Be aware that once opened, you must keep them in the refrigerator.The gift pack contains an ounce of each oil in a cute little bottle with a narrow neck. The amazon price breaks down to less than $3 a bottle which I think is a great value. Since I only need a few drops per recipe, they last a long time. It is also nice to have the smaller bottles so you have fresher oil; a 1 ounce bottle in the fridge is fresher at the end of its use than a 3 ounce bottle sitting in the fridge for three times as long. I keep the extras in my pantry until they are needed. Results: I find these oils to be a fantastic alternative to zest or extract in my culinary creations. They offer a authentic and fresh flavor. these oils provide a more vibrant and full-bodied taste. These oils can even be used to enhance food and drinks, adding an extra layer of flavor Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: taste fresh, tasty Negative: x

This is the larger size of the Sprout Master sprouter, great for larger batches of leafy sprouts or bean sprouts. The optional tray divider makes it easy to make larger batches or separate smaller sprout batches. Half of this tray still has more capacity than the whole of one of the Sprout Master small trays. If you're growing for one or two people I would recommend the "Sprout Master Mini Triple" instead. Coming with three trays the mini triple would allow you to grow a more diverse or more staggered crop.The two "lids" that come with this tray are exactly the same. Put one below to catch any water and use the one on top if you want to block off light (this helps prevent the growth of green leaves, which is usually how bean sprouts are grown). The Sprout Master's drainage holes allow excess water to drain off very effectively.If you've sprouted in a jar before, you'll probably find this to be much easier. Hold the tray under running cool water two or three times a day, then allow excess water to run off before putting the tray away. The sprouts should be thoroughly rinsed to prevent spoilage, kept moist at all times, but not allowed to sit in water. (By comparison, with jar sprouting you'd need to fill and drain the jar of sprouts repeatedly to rinse the sprouts well, then it's more difficult to get them properly drained.)One minor complaint is that some of the smallest seeds can get caught in the drain holes. In my experience, broccoli is large enough to be safe, but with alfalfa or clover you might get a few seeds stuck. When you're cleaning the tray after use you may need to get a small poking instrument to knock one or two out again. The "Easy Sprouter" device doesn't have this problem, but allows slightly less light to reach your sprouts because of it's shape. Neither is a very significant complaint, and I find that the Easy Sprouter gets sufficient light for most purposes. Results: This is the larger size of the Sprout Master sprouter, great for larger batches of leafy sprouts or bean sprouts. easy to make larger batches or separate smaller sprout batches. One minor complaint is that some of the smallest seeds can get caught in the drain holes.

This is my first sprouter, so I have no basis for comparison. I looked at a lot of products when I was purchasing this one, and I feel that it's the best tray sprouter on the market for the price.Pros:-Easy to use-Allows for nice aeration-Tray system works well as bottom or lid (I switch top & bottom after every rinse to minimize bacteria & mold growth)-Great size, perfect crop size for two people. If I get really in to sprouting I may purchase another large size and have the crops rotating.-Holes are small enough that very few seeds get stuckCons:-Small seeds can get stuck in holes-Sprouts will grow through holes and can be hard to pull out without breaking the roots-Not dishwasher safe, and needs to be bleached each time-Not the sturdiest plastic, so I doubt it will last more than 2 years without crackingI have only had one failure so far, buckwheat groats. They rotted, and I suspect that I did not rinse them voraciously enough. All other crops (salad mixes with primarily alfalfa & radish, some lentils) have been absolutely perfect with very little maintenance. Results: Easy to use, Allows for nice aeration-Tray system works well as bottom or lid, Great size, perfect crop size for two people.

Before I bought this sprouter, I used a jar with a screen lid on it and had failure after failure. I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it seemed like I never could get those alfalfa sprouts to "sprout maturity"! Since I got this baby, I am the green queen of sprouting! (at least I feel like it...)I was a little concerned about the plastic stuff, but it seems very stable and does not impart any plastic "flavor" to the greens. I am so pumped that I am moving on to other sproutables. It is very easy to use, and I rinse once in the morning and once before I go to bed. That seems to be enough, but you can rinse more often. I have good water (no chlorine or fluoride) and with this tray my sprouts grow, grow, grow!When I'm ready to harvest them, the "mat" they form is easy to sort of peel up. I put them in a large salad spinner and fill it with water and sort of loosen them up, freeing the hulls to float on the top. Then I get a small strainer (everyone has one of those, right?) and put it over the kitchen sink drain and pour out the water into the strainer. That's where the hulls go (then into the compost bin) instead of down the drain! Then, I whir the salad spinner and get the sprouts "dry" and in they go to a container in the fridge with the lid cracked--so they can "breathe" a little bit.I have been doing this since I started growing with this sprouter. I understand you can actually stack these to grow more, but I will have to wait a bit before I become that adventurous.Oh, yeah, one more thing....After you soak the seeds for 6 or more hours (directions come with the sprouter or you can go to their website) and have them in the sprouter, I adjust the lid so it's open about an inch. Gives them room to breathe.Get it! Your body will thank you for growing LIVE food for it! Be good to yourself and discover sprouting---so much CHEAPER than the stores!! Results: I was a little concerned about the plastic stuff, but it has proven to be quite sturdy. I rinse once in the morning and once before I go to bed. That seems to be enough, but you can rinse more often. Overall, it's an easy-to-use product that provides effective results.

I first tried sprouting with a jar with a drain lid. It was hard to drain the water all the way out, it was a pain to rinse the seeds, and my sprouts would rot, before they even sprouted. Air couldn't get to them, and I live in Nebraska, a very arid region.Then I got this thing. If you can't grow sprouts in this, just rinse them more. It drains effortlessly. The instructions are ridiculously easy to follow. You can grow tons of sprouts really fast. I grew, tall, strong, deep green, and super potent sprouts in a matter of days. They will not go bad if you keep them in here and keep rinsing them, I rinse about 3 times a day, but you could probably get away with once depending on where you live. You will basically have a living, growing food, that you can eat at your leisure.The smallest seed I have put in them so far is radish, but I'm sure smaller seeds could work, and you could always put a growing sponge on the bottom.During the winter I will get a second one because it will be one of the only ways to get fresh greens in my area, and I'm a vegetarian, so that is super important to me.These are made in the US. Results: The instructions for using this product are easy to follow, and it allows you to grow a large quantity of sprouts quickly. The sprouts I grew were tall, strong, deep green, and packed with potency in just a few days. By keeping them in the sprouter and rinsing them about three times a day, they stay fresh and continue to grow. It's like having a living, growing food source that you can enjoy.

Sorry, but I only like to eat the tops of the sprouts. I only grow broccoli sprouts at the moment. With this sprouter, the roots grow down through the holes and the sprouts grow up vertically. To prevent the roots from matting under the tray, I raise the tray up by putting a flat rock (from my yard!) in a foil baking pan. (appx 11x13 from the dollar store). I fill the pan 3/4 with water, and set the tray on the rock. The roots go down to the water and drink it up. I change the water and rinse the sprouts daily. When ready, I pull the sprouts out the top of the tray, cut off most of the dangling roots, and I'm all set. Easy to clean under running water with dish cloth. I also soak the tray in vinegar water before re sprouting. No, seeds do not get stuck in the holes. Sometimes a few roots get stuck, but they are easily dislodged with the dish cloth rubbed over the holes, front and back. I always thought sprouts needed sun, and I was using a grow light over them, especially in the winter. The directions said they can grow in the dark! Did I misunderstand? I decided to turn off the grow light and just place them on a table by the window that gets a little light in the afternoon, and they grow just fine. I'm now ordering the set of three trays for a better value, and I'll try other seeds. I may have to eat the roots on the larger seeds, but I can manage that! Results: Occasionally, some roots may get stuck in the holes of the sprouter, but they can be easily dislodged by gently rubbing a dishcloth over the holes on both the front and back of the sprouter. I used to believe that sprouts needed sunlight, so I used a grow light over them, especially during the winter. However, the directions for this sprouter informed me that sprouts can grow in the dark as well. I simply placed them on a table near a window that received a bit of light in the afternoon, and they grew perfectly fine. I am so pleased with the results that I am now ordering the set of three trays, which offers better value, and I plan to try growing other types of seeds as well.

These add a creamy,dynamic cinnamon/vanilla flavor to almost anything but once in a while I experience a very strange aftertaste with the chocolate flavor (just the chocolate: I've tried the choc, cinn/van and Irish Cream),usually when I use 2 vs just one in my beverage.The packaging, however, leaves a lot to be desired and unless you want a lot of work when this arrives, you might want to rethink this purchase. In recent weeks, I've purchased 3 cases of this product (that is 12 boxes of 50 single serve cups) in 3 flavors for the local emergency shelter here in Western, MA due to the tornadoes that ripped through my community and those of my family and friends. I am so thankful I looked at this product before just bringing it to the make-shift kitchens and coffee setups on the back of pickup trucks. This is what I experienced. What follows is actually my 'cut and paste' comments from one of my 'leave packaging comments' for Amazon, so it lists 2 cases vs 3. I purchased 1 first, then had second thoughts and went back and bought the additional 2 flavors (creamy chocolate, cinnamon vanilla (excellent flavor, by the way) and Irish Cream (a bit too subtle in flavor for me-could have a bit more oomph). As such, you'll see me refer to just 2 below.Exterior shipping box was fine and interior 'case' holding product perfectly intact. However, contents (50 in each)are a sticky, gooey, unusable mess. I purchased 2 flavors/2 cases = 8 cartons = 400 of this product and all 8 cartons are a disgusting disappointment. While the majority of the single serve cups are fine, a large handful in every one of the 50-pack boxes are squished, cracked or just ripped open. Contents spilled over the rest of the single serve cups throughout the boxes that are now slimy, sticky and tacky, with what looks like dried and/or tacky curdled milk all over them. I had to throw away 46 cups total and wash every other single serve cup by hand and then find another container to hold them all. I sure won't be buying these again. Results: These add a creamy,dynamic cinnamon/vanilla flavor to almost anything but once in a while I experience a very strange aftertaste with the chocolate flavor. Exterior shipping box was fine and interior 'case' holding product perfectly intact. However, contents are a sticky, gooey, unusable mess. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: creamy, dynamic flavor Negative: packaging, aftertaste

When looking at buying creamer, I mistakenly believed that this product would pair well with the coffee I enjoy (a cinnamon / vanilla flavored coffee). Listed below are my opinions about said creamer when used in both normal coffee (unflavored medium roast) as well as flavored coffee. Both types of coffee were ground that day.The good:The amount of creamer you receive borders on the ridiculous. The package has to contain near 8 lbs. of creamer.The creamer is individually packaged and arrives in four cartons (each containing 50 creamers).The cartons are easy to open and have a flap to allow for easy access.The bad:The creamer is VERY weak. To receive the same texture / coloring / flavoring as a traditional creamer (one in a bottle), you must use roughly 50% more of this creamer.The vanilla taste is very minimal.The cinnamon taste is very prevalent.the cinnamon taste is rather repugnant and almost has a sour taste to it.The individual creamers are rather hard to open (not that they are difficult to grab the flap, but there is a ton of glue used, and most often (7/10 times) will tear because the flap is glued down to heavily.~~~~In all, I would not recommend this product. I've actually tried to give the creamer away to several people, but after tasting it, no one wants it. Even at work, with the ~175 remaining creamers sitting there, after a week, the first container is still not empty (meaning, that of the 175 I brought, there are still more than 150 sitting there). Results: I was quite disappointed with the amount of creamer provided in the package. While the cartons were easy to open and access, the creamer itself was surprisingly weak in flavor. I found that I needed to use significantly more of this creamer compared to others. The vanilla taste was barely noticeable, while the cinnamon flavor was quite strong. Overall, I cannot recommend this product. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: quantity, easy to open Negative: weak taste

Although I've only been able to try three of Caribou's k cup blends (Mahogany as well as Caribou Coffee, Caribou Blend, K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 24-Count and Caribou Coffee, Daybreak Morning Blend, K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 24-Count), I've found that Caribou consistently produces the highest quality k cups. They are head and shoulders above their competitors like Green Mountain and Van Houtte.I should mention that Caribou's Daybreak blend is far and away my favorite k cup flavor of the 20 or so I've been able to sample so far. But I enjoy a flavorful medium roast. My boyfriend, on the other hand, prefers an extra bold dark roast. After our favorable experience with the Caribou brand before, we picked up a box of this coffee and hoped that it would be a great choice for a dark blend.Let me just say that Mahogany is full of smokey delicious flavor. It's quite strong and dark, but there is no rancid bitterness or acidity that accompanies a lot of the dark roasts. This coffee packs a powerful punch. Although that isn't normally my thing, I can enjoy a cup of this with milk and a bit of sweetener. My boyfriend adores it, though, and it has become a staple blend for him. I will still drink this on occasion, but it's a bit too potent for me.I think this is the best dark roast I've had the chance to try. Results: Caribou consistently delivers the highest quality K-cups, and their Mahogany blend is no exception. It boasts a rich and smoky flavor that is truly delicious. Despite being strong and dark, it manages to avoid the rancid bitterness and acidity often associated with dark roasts. I have tried various dark roasts, but I think this is the best dark roast I've had the chance to try. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: consistent, high quality Negative: x

This is a medium roasted coffee, those that call it a light roast must be used to a heavier tasting cup of coffee. When first brewed, it has a very pleasant nutty aroma that fills the room and gets your expectations going. I have the Keurig with 3 cup sizes, if you brew it on the smallest setting, it's like a little shot of nutty espresso (on the milder side)...on the second setting it's a more intense flavor that Starbucks people could probably relate to...on the largest setting it is ready for you to add what you desire and still get a very good, subtle nutty tasting, rich coffee. I add a bit of sugar while drinking it black and it's a delight...when you are in the mood for something different. I find I don't like it as much as my first cup of the day...but every once in a while I like a cup in the afternoon and this is where I find it stands out. Not a heavy, burnt tasting roast...milder than that heavy stuff and flavorful WITHOUT knocking you out with an added fake flavor that doesn't belong there...it seems to really go together, pecan & coffee. Let's just say it's a nice cup of coffee with a bit of a nutty tone...PS: I'm not a real lover of flavored coffees but this one is done right...on the lines of Island Coconut, who would think that coconut & coffee flavors would go pleasantly together?...but they do! Results: This is a medium roasted coffee, It has a delightful nutty aroma that fills the room when freshly brewed, The taste itself is pleasant, offering a subtle nutty tone Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: pleasant nutty aroma Negative: x

I was very hopeful about this pie filling, since I love rhubarb and can't get it since moving to the South (not unless I pay through the nose). However, I've only opened one of the two jars I bought, so far, and that jar WAS a generous amount for filling an 8 or 9-inch pie, but had what I consider to be much too thick a consistency (possibly as a result of all the sugar and other sweeteners necessary for the preserving process? I don't know).In addition, I may've simply gotten one 'bad' jar, but the flavor seemed 'off' -- almost on the edge of fermentation. I 'cut' the jar of pie filling with a pound of fresh strawberries and turned it into a decent-ish 10-inch strawberry-rhubarb pie, but it still doesn't taste quite right to me, and there's still that slight hint of fermentation. I can eat it, but I'm not in any hurry to finish it off.Perhaps my expectations were unreasonable, since I've never had a canned rhubarb pie filling before (not even home-canned), but always used fresh or home-frozen rhubarb, going easy on the sugar in the recipe to preserve that mouth-watering tartness. Whenever I've had access to lots of rhubarb, I prefer it straight, no strawberries or blueberries or raspberries mixed in (though those are all good combinations).Honestly, I'm beginning to think it might be worthwhile to pay over $4 a pound for a bit of fresh rhubarb in the store, which I can cut with the much-cheaper strawberries to make a semi-rhubarb pie. But that's just my taste, and as I said, I might've simply gotten a 'bad batch'. Results: I have opened one of the two jars I purchased so far, and I must say that it is a generous amount for filling an 8 or 9-inch pie. However, I found the consistency to be too thick for my liking. While I am able to consume it, I don't have a strong desire to finish it quickly. At this point, I am considering the option of purchasing fresh rhubarb from the store, even though it may be more expensive, as I can then mix it with cheaper strawberries to create a semi-rhubarb pie that meets my preferences. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: generous filling Negative: thick consistency

Okay, it's kashi, it's healthy, it's full of real food, in as much, these are more substantial (read thick and grainy) than a regular cookie...these are not going to taste like standard oatmeal raisin cookies...the cookies are rather dry (and i do have some concerns about the little packs in the boxes that keep the cookies ...umm fresh) I'm not sure how safe/healthy those are but i'm not a scientist so i'll leave it at that (I guess they are moisture control) anyhow, all in all these cookies are good for someone who want's a cookie but without the guilt factor. These are one at a time sized cookies, and I actually can't imagine wanting to eat more than one at a sitting anyhow because they are kind of hard to work through (See grainy/dry) but the flavor overall is good, I prefer this better than the dark chocolate or trail mix, I think the raisins add just a bit of moisture so this variety is a touch less dry, and also a tiny bit sweeter. Also, something to note, if you are buying kashi items in bulk be prepared to eat a lot of them and quickly as the expiration dates are usually no more than 2 or 3 months past purchse (afterall these don't have all the chemicals/preservatives of your typical quick foods. That being said, all in all, this is my favorite of the three kashi cookie varieties,and they are a healthy option for cookie lovers. Results: they have a more substantial texture compared to typical cookies, and it's important to note that they won't taste exactly like traditional oatmeal raisin cookies. The cookies can be a bit dry, but they provide a guilt-free option for those craving a cookie. the overall flavor is enjoyable. Personally, I prefer this variety over the dark chocolate or trail mix flavors. The raisins adds a touch of moisture and sweetness to this particular variant. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: healthy Negative: thick, dry, grainy

I tried some of this on my old guy, an American Staffordshire Terrier that is 14 years, 8 months old. He had just gone through a phase of refusing to eat his normal food, which is good stuff, but is a dry kibble mini disc type ( Bench & Field Holistic - Very good food! )So I got some canned foods to try on him. Got the Newman's, and 2 other organic kinds. Buster just loves the canned foods, but the consistency of some of the others is sloppier and harder for him to eat, as they just seem to mash into the bowl, and he has to lick them instead of being able to eat them in soft chunks. This food smells almost good enough to make me hungry...... and is easy to spoon into his dish, where it takes him less than a nano-second to select a nice chunk and eat it. I just stand there, and spoon a few chunks at a time into his bowl and he looks for more.So I am really happy with this food and even if he DOES get spoiled on it, he's so worth spoiling at his advanced age that I don't consider it a problem!Before this, I was cooking human food to tempt him just to eat, so this is better balanced and seems to give him more energy.( Before this, he was feed on free schedule, with a bowl of dry food out at all times, and he would eat every 3 days when he felt like it. That worked very well for 14 plus years! I did the same with my first AmStaff, and he made it to 15. ) Also, Buster has NEVER had to make a vet visit for illness or medical problem his entire life until 2 weeks ago, so that eating arrangement obviously worked great for a very long time! ; ) Results: I am really pleased with this food. It has a delicious smell that almost makes me hungry, and it's so easy to spoon it into my pet's dish. Even if he gets a little spoiled by it, I don't mind because he deserves the best. Before trying this food, I used to feed him on a free schedule, with a bowl of dry food always available. He would eat every 3 days when he felt like it, and it worked well for him. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: smell good, easy to spoon Negative: x

All you need with this is a sprinkle...if that. It does sweeten everything - and is good if you have diabetes or just want to avoid sugar. Too much and it turns bitter tasting on ya, so not too much. Some people think there is an after taste...or an off taste - but I don't. No, its not going to taste like a mouthful of real sugar...but it does add sweetness / like you know, diet coke is sweet but it not coke. The powder can be messy, the drops are easier - but both cumbersome to carry around with you (big disadvantage). The little packets of this (and they make them) contain maltodextrin - which I avoid...a filler with a high glycemic index (basically corn starch) so know that in advance. And the packets some of them contain INULIN which is a fiber - and that can cause painful gas. This is all I know - I hope its been helpful. Should you try it? Yeah. Don't toss it after your first go'round with it though - give it another try and another until you learn how and when/where it will work best for you. If you want to cook with this please learn about that on the web - I have no idea about measurement conversions for this. Enjoy. Results: This product is a good option for those with diabetes or anyone looking to avoid sugar. However, it's important not to use too much of it, as it can become bitter-tasting. The powder form can be messy, while the drops are more convenient to use. However, both can be cumbersome to carry around. It's worth noting that the little packets of this product contain maltodextrin, which is an ingredient to avoid for some individuals, and inulin, a fiber that can potentially cause gas and discomfort. I hope this information has been helpful. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: good for diebetes Negative: messy, no guidance

I've been experimenting with homemade sugar-free chocolate for a while now, and after trying a large number of sugar substitutes, I've found it very difficult to make anything that I'm proud of. Chocolate, in general, is very temperamental. It has six different crystalline forms, and you have to get the temperature just right or else you wind up with a less than desirable form. And your sugar substitute needs to be fat-soluble and anhydrous, because small amounts of water can will cause your chocolate to seize. It's very complicated, and I've never been keen on anything I've made myself.Coco Polo's chocolate, by contrast, is tempered perfectly. It has just the right snap and mouth-feel. Because it's flavored with Stevia and Erythritol (the easiest-on-your-stomach sugar alcohol), you can eat the whole bar in one sitting and not suffer any unpleasant effects. At least I didn't. Everyone is different. But I can say that even small amounts of malitol-sweetened chocolate cause me gastric upset.That being said, this product is not as sweet as ordinary sugared chocolate. But that is going to be true of any sugar-free chocolate. In particular, Coco Polo's sweetness is also somehow more subtle, which is the best I can explain it. If your familiar with Stevia as a sweetener in tea and coffee, you'll know what I'm talking about. It's not as intense as sugar, but it's still nice and doesn't have any chemical aftertaste. If you are a fan of less sweet dark-style chocolates, than transitioning to this sugar free band is easy.If I didn't know any better I would give this product 3 or 4 stars because it is not as good as regular chocolate. But having tried to make my own for years, I recognize when I've been outdone and I'm giving it a 5 star review. I've also tried many brands of sugar free chocolate over the years, and I like this one the best.On the downside, I think this chocolate is too pricey. When I ordered mine, it was shipped in an insulated container with cold packs to keep it stable. This was in the spring and early fall - perhaps in the winter they forgo this treatment. (They don't ship at all in the heat of summer.) So perhaps the extra cost is to cover the special shipping. Results: providing a satisfying snap and mouth-feel. As it is sweetened with Stevia and Erythritol, you can consume the entire bar without experiencing any negative effects. While this product is not as sweet as regular chocolate, which is typical of sugar-free options, Coco Polo's sweetness is subtly balanced. Comparing it to other sugar-free chocolates, this brand is the preferred choice for the reviewer. However, the downside is the higher price point, and the need for insulated shipping with cold packs to maintain its stability. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: flavor, tempered Negative: pricey

My daughter was on Good Start Gentle before finally moving to Similac Alimentum when her milk protein allergy was diagnosed. After 6 months of spending $500+ on formula, we were given the go ahead to try Good Start again. She struggled with the taste (Alimentum tastes AWFUL and Gerber Good Start is sweet in comparison) at first, but we tried switching her again by giving Good Start as the first bottle of the day and she had no problems. She's been on it for 6 weeks now and has no more gas or fussiness than she did on Alimentum. We love Gerber Good Start!When she was on Good Start Gentle previously, we used the 8.45 oz cans or the quart-size cans. Neither of those can be found anywhere. The new packing is great and weighs a lot less. I buy it as Babies R Us or Target - they always seem to have some in stock, even if it's only the 4-packs ($6.29 at Target!). The 24 pack cases seem to run about $39.99 when they are in stock. Babies R Us has had two specials in a row on them (buy 2, get $10 off instantly; then buy 2, get $15 off instantly), which they honor on multiple purchases in one visit. They also do rainchecks if it's not in stock.Hopefully Amazon will get some more in stock soon - we go through 4 cases a month! Results: We love Gerber Good Start! The new packing is great and weighs a lot less. I buy it as Babies R Us or Target - they always seem to have some in stock.

I was alarmed when I suddenly became unable to find this product in any local grocery store. I visited Amazon and was relieved to find it available here, but was troubled by the multiple reviews complaining that the packaging was poor and that the jars arrived broken. So I wrote to Amazon Customer Service to inquire about the situation. I received a prompt, courteous reply saying that the packaging problem had been corrected and that I could order with confidence. So I did. The six jars arrived the other day, IMPECCABLY packaged--each jar individually wrapped in bubble wrap, the six jars carefully packed in a box with additional cushioning, that box packed in a second box with cushioning. All six jars were in perfect condition.As for the product, I have relied on Nestea Unsweetened 100% Instant for years. It is the only instant iced tea I have ever been able to find that is absolutely pure, without any sweeteners, flavorings, or additives. That may not be everyone's cup of tea (so to speak), but if you like your iced tea straight, or if you prefer to add your own sweetener or lemon, this is the product to buy. (BTW, when I'm feeling like a bit of sweetness and tartness in my iced tea, I add a spoonful of all-natural frozen limeade concentrate. It's terrific.) Results: The six jars of tea were recently delivered, and they were impeccably packaged. Each jar was individually wrapped in bubble wrap, and all six jars were carefully packed with additional cushioning in two boxes. As a result, all the jars arrived in perfect condition. This particular instant iced tea stands out because it is pure and free from sweeteners, flavorings, or additives. While this may not suit everyone's taste, it is ideal for those who prefer their iced tea without any additional ingredients or for those who prefer to customize the flavor with their own sweeteners or lemon. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: availability, quality, packaging Negative: x

This product has become UNAVAILABLE in local stores here in southeastern PA. What has happened is that America has a love affair with sugar. So much so, that if the food they put in their mouth is not loaded with it, they don't think it tastes good. 23g of sugar is a federal requirement in 12 oz. soft drinks, or at least it seems so. As I've gotten older, I've given up things that obviously contain lots of sugar. But companies are sneaky. They know that sugar works and is addictive. Sugar is cheaper than tea. Add more sugar, remove some tea. The formula is a winner. That explains the skyrocketing diabetes in the U.S., but the companies don't care. And it's not their fault. Nobody forces you to take these items off the shelf and put them in your cart. Until maybe now. I used this concentrated tea to make my own iced tea for years. Maybe it's just my fellow citizens that don't buy it anymore, but vendors have dropped it from the shelves. All my visitors to my home always commented that my iced tea was very good. I'd use the standard sugared mix, but cut off the last 1/3 of the recommended dosage, and instead added this concentrate to make it more tea, less sugar. It works, and it works well. But now here I am on Amazon, buying a product that I should be able to find in stores, but no dice. And no, I don't want to spend $10.00 on energy charges to boil a boatload if teabags and deal with all of that. This is easy. Kudos to the seller: fast service, reasonable price. Good health to you and your family. For the rest of you out there, don't forget to brush. Results: I used this concentrated tea to make my own iced tea for years.

Hey Gang,My tea arrived in a box within a box with some bubble wrap and packaging. However, I found the box in the middle of my driveway on a hot day (which is a bad omen to begin with). Why wasn't it on the porch? Why not at least leaning up against the garage? Was it thrown onto the driveway by a harried UPS worker? What I do know is that I can't use one of the jars (it arrived broken) and it's not returnable. In today's economy, I'm trying to make smarter decisions with where I throw my money. This tea product is a luxury for me. I, like you, have roamed around stores without luck of finding the product. I decided I'd go with Plan B which is to search the Internet and was thrilled to find it on Amazon. However, Plan C is to "move on" and most likely start making "Cold Brewed Iced Tea" from tea bags. Good luck if you order this... but maybe it's time to "move on." Lipton is thriving on the shelves but Nestea tastes better in my opinion! I give the tea 4 stars for taste but one star for packaging. Results: I was disappointed when I received the box of tea in my driveway on a hot day. It's never a good sign when a package is left out in the heat. Unfortunately, one of the jars had broken and it was not returnable. In today's economy, I'm trying to make smarter decisions with where I throw my money. This tea product is a luxury for me.

I first purchased this in a package Crystal Light Mocktails Drink Mixes, 3-Flavors, 15-Count along with the Appletini and Margarita flavors. The Appletini and Margarita were good, but not as good as this Mojito Drink Mix. This has the taste of lime and is sweet but also a little tart, much like a real Mojito. It also has a slight minty taste which I really like. It doesn't have aftertaste.Each canister contains 5 packets that will make 2 quarts each. I usually use them in my Contigo AUTOSPOUT® Addison 24 oz. Water Bottles 3 pack Blue, Charcoal, Honeysuckle and just mix it to taste. It has 5 calories per serving which is 1/8 of a packet so it's good when you're trying to watch the calories. The ingredients are: Citric Acid, Maltodextrin, Aspartame (Sweetener), Acesulfame Potassium (Sweetener), Sugar, Magnesium Oxide, Contains Less Than 2% of:, Natural Flavor, Yellow 5, Blue 1I like it best over ice. I fill my water bottle about 3/4 of the way full add the Mojito Drink Mix and then fill the bottle the rest of the way with ice. It dissolves very easily. It also makes a good cocktail in a pinch if you add rum or vodka. Two thumbs up for this great product from Kraft Foods. Results: I absolutely love the Mojito Drink Mix! It surpasses the Appletini and Margarita flavors in terms of taste. The lime flavor is spot-on and it strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and tartness, just like a real Mojito. The slight hint of mint adds an extra layer of deliciousness. What's even better is that it doesn't leave any unpleasant aftertaste. With just 5 calories per serving, which is only 1/8 of a packet, it's a great choice for those watching their calorie intake. The mix dissolves effortlessly, making it convenient to prepare. Plus, it can even be used to whip up a tasty cocktail by adding rum or vodka. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: disolve easily, taste good Negative: x

These bulbs make my room (painted blue) look absolutely vivid and beautiful, specially compared to my previous 27K CFL lightbulbs.I have ALZO 55K lightbulbs, love it so decided to change all my 27K CFL lightbulbs to 55K in my first floor. ALZO bulbs are way too big to fit most of my light fixtures. These ones are perfect size.I like to comment is the Amazon's service. Amazon sent me the package, the first shipment was wrong items, 27K bulbs. I returned and asked for replacement. Amazon shipped me the right one but with two broken light bulbs. I was not happy but not mad since this is the only issue I ever had with Amazon in my last few years. I bought all from Amazon unless it does not carry.Amazon shipped me the replacement with no charge. The person even opened the package to make sure no broken light bulbs, then wrapped an extra protection layer before putting into a already very good packaging box.I will buy more when I replace my another light fixture next month.Updated.I have changed the rating to 3 from 5. One of the six bulbs just burned out after only 2 months usage. Results: I'm really impressed with these bulbs, they have transformed the look of my room into something truly vibrant and beautiful. The size is perfect and they fit seamlessly into my fixtures. I also want to commend Amazon's customer service.

Since my husband and I are summer person who live in 4 season place, I bought these light bulbs to make our cold winter little more cheerful. These bulbs come with eco-packaging which I like, and it was bonus that I didn't have to deal with bulky packaging. First I turned on the light, I noticed it is little dim, but after couple minutes, it reaches full strength. For my small bedroom (10'X 7'), one light bulb was enough to make the room bright.When I read while I was lying down, I noticed that the light actually doesn't hurt my eyes even if I look directly. I do have very sensitive eyes, so I was very happy that this bulbs don't make my eyes tired.Also, I bought more lamps and had short of these bulbs, so I went ahead and used my plain old light bulb. My husband and I could not believe that how dim, irritating the yellow light bulb was compared to our full spectrum bright soft white light bulbs. I don't think I can go back to normal light bulb ever again, and now I told all my families to change theirs as well. They are all happy just like me. Energy saving is extra bonus on top of every benefit to have this light bulb. Results: These bulbs come with eco-packaging. First I turned on the light, I noticed it is little dim, but after couple minutes, it reaches full strength.

When I ordered these, based on the description, I thought the honey was somehow hardened into stick-form and thus would 'melt' into a cup of hot tea. I was surprised when I discovered these sticks were actually thin plastic straws filled with honey! There is no way I'm going to insert a plastic straw into a hot cup of tea. I'm not sure it would work anyway; I suppose you could cut open each end and then blow the honey in the tea. Does Stash think you're going to sip on these straws? I don't know what the company was thinking when they produced this product, other than as a candy to be eaten.I believe the term "stick" does not accurately describe this product and is misleading. I doubt it's intentional, however. The Stash Tea Company is an excellent company and has many high quality teas and products.The honey flavored with chai spices is good enough but frankly, it it a very expensive way to buy honey. Better to buy a jar and flavor it yourself. I wound up using these Chai Honey Sticks by cutting open one end and pressing out the honey into a tea cup/pot, which was messy and time consuming.I love Stash tea... drink it every morning. But this product is a bust and I would never purchase it again. Results: There is no way I'm going to insert a plastic straw into a hot cup of tea.

I have three power-chewers, and pressed rawhide bones are a must-have around our house. My dogs will quickly destroy cheap rawhides. With the choking hazard presented by bones that come apart too easily, it can be a challenge to find a decent pressed rawhide without breaking the bank. We were paying $5 - $7 a piece for a good quality bone at our favorite pet store. We can go through as many as 5 a week...ouch. Adds up fast.I dug around to try to find a quality replacement that would save us some money and stumbled on these on Amazon. I figured they would be flimsy for the price, but decided to give it a shot. I was astonished at the quality. They are great. These bones last as long as the ones I was buying from the pet store. The price is unbeatable. About a $1.70 a piece. That's a HUGE price difference. Even the box is great. We tear off the front flap, the way the item is pictured, and put the whole thing in a deep drawer in our kitchen. Very handy for us. We average about 1 box every three months. I haven't really counted, but it seems we burn through less of these than the others, too.I am a firm believer that what you don't pay out in quality food and treats for your dogs, you pay out in vet bills, poorer health and shorter life span. So we buy top quality pet foods, etc. I really love it when quality comes with a great price, too. These have made three dogs VERY happy. They've made my wallet VERY happy, too. Excellent bang for your buck! I highly recommend these. Results: I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these bones. They are durable and last just as long as the ones I used to buy from the pet store. The price is unbeatable, offering a significant cost difference compared to other options. Even the packaging is impressive. It seems like we go through fewer of these bones compared to others, which is a bonus. I appreciate when I can find high-quality products at a great price, and these bones have brought joy to three happy dogs. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: astonising quality, long last Negative: x

For this review you're going to get two opinions. Darshan1 and chocolate enthusiast extraordinaire, Darshan's Mom.Darshan says: As an amateur chocolate consumer, I found this fairly similar in taste to Hershey's Special Dark at first, um, chomp, but after a couple chews, I noticed it's a fair amount creamier and much more satisfying than Special Dark. I favor milk chocolate (I think Cadbury milk is my favorite) so this was a little bitter for me (it actually is a little stronger than Special Dark), but compared to some 82% stuff that my mom sometimes has where I feel like I'm going to choke for the bitterness, this was quite good. A very good compromise (in my opinion) if we were going to split a chocolate bar for dessert. I like the fact that it's "Fair Trade" chocolate since a lot of cocoa harvesting involves some harsh child labor practices, and since it's one of the few fair trade brands that I can get at the nearby regular grocery store instead of having to trek to a gourmet store, I'd probably start buying their milk chocolate variety.Darshan's Mom says: Newman's Own organic dark chocolate satisfyingly combines the creaminess of milk chocolate with the taste of a somewhat mild, but luscious, dark chocolate. Since it's merely 54% chocolate, the heavenly, bitter tang of 75% to 8o% chocolate is missing. However, the rich smoothness of the product almost makes up for that. Being a confirmed chocoholic, I've taste tested chocolate in France, Belgium and Switzerland, the holy trinity of European chocolate according to a local chocolate store owner, but, in order to be perfectly fair, of course, I've forced myself to sample chocolate in Germany and Italy as well. I've made pilgrimages to American restaurants famous for their chocolate temptations, visited a cocoa plantation in Tobago and prepared numerous chocolate desserts over the years. So, I think I know chocolate. Yes, for those of us who crave deep, dark chocolate, Newman's Own comes up a little short, but it is surprisingly delicious nevertheless. Another plus, it's organic. If it's priced well compared to the better-known European chocolate bar brands, it could easily become one of my top choices for everyday enjoyment. Results: I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of Newman's Own organic dark chocolate. At first, it reminded me of Hershey's Special Dark, but as I savored it, I noticed a distinct creaminess that made it even more satisfying. The combination of the creaminess of milk chocolate with the lusciousness of a mildly dark chocolate is simply delightful. Plus, the fact that it's organic adds to its appeal. If the price is competitive compared to popular European chocolate brands, I can easily see myself choosing Newman's Own as one of my go-to options for everyday indulgence. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: creamy, rich, mild Negative: x

Perhaps they should have given this bar a different name, maybe "Dark Chocolate for Beginners". It is a "Dark Chocolate" bar but with only 54% cacao. It is still more than typical milk chocolate (in the 30s), but it may confuse fans of dark chocolate. This is more of a bridging-the-gap type of a chocolate. For someone coming to this from the off-the-shelf mass-market milk chocolate, this is not as "bitter" as typical dark chocolate, so if you want to eat healthier chocolate, this may be an option. It is also sweet, sweeter than most of the dark chocolates (60%) I recall trying out, and it does not have the "bitter" taste.However, for someone coming to this from the 60% and 70% and 80% dark chocolate, this may come as a surprise, as it is sweeter and it doesn't have the high percentage of cocoa one would expect. Newman also has a 70% "Super Dark" chocolate Newman's Own Organics Super Dark (70%) Chocolate Bar, 3.25-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) but I haven't tried that so I can't really compare. However, the choice of a name (70% being called Super Dark) is a hint that these are perhaps intended more for the mass-market grocery store consumer, not the dark chocolate connoisseur.Nutrition-wise, the whole chocolate bar (2.25oz or 64 grams) has 330 calories and it provides one-third of the RDA fat calories and two-thirds of the RDA saturated fat calories. There is 0% cholesterol, 0% trans-fat and only traces of sodium (5mg). Also good is 4g of fiber and 3g of protein, but a jumping up and down 28g of sugars. It is candy after all :-) The cocoa is Rainforest Alliance certified.The bar is made in a way that can be broken in six (probably uneven unless you are careful) pieces, so theoretically you can break it into six servings, which significantly lowers the calories and fat intake. More realistically, one-third of the bar is a reasonable compromise for one person per day, bringing it down to 110 calories with 10% RDA fat and 22% RDA saturated fat. (the numbers are based on the standard 2000 calorie diet found in most of the food labels). Results: Newman's Own 54% Dark Chocolate bar surprised me a bit. While it is labeled as "dark chocolate," it contains only 54% cacao, which may confuse those accustomed to higher cacao percentages. Nevertheless, it does provide a healthier chocolate option compared to typical milk chocolate. What stood out to me is that it's not as bitter as most dark chocolates I've tried before. It has a sweetness to it, which sets it apart from the usual dark chocolate flavors. If you're looking for something even darker, Newman's also offers a 70% Super Dark Chocolate bar. However, the name "Super Dark" may indicate that it's more targeted toward the mass-market grocery store consumer. The bar is conveniently divided into six pieces, making it easy to break off and enjoy. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: sweet, lower bitterness Negative: high sugar, missleading, high fat, high sugar

I received 1 bar via the Amazon Vine program to review. Let me just say I love chocolate in any form, but dark chocolate is probably 4th down on the list of favorites. That being said, I find most dark chocolate is either too bitter for my liking, often leaving me with a slight pucker in my mouth and/or a chalky after-taste. Newman's Own Organics Dark Chocolate was a pleasant surprise on the taste front. Yes, it's dark chocolate, but no bitter aftertaste. It's smooth and just sweet enough to remind me of bittersweet chocolate, more than dark.The reason for 4 and not 5 stars has more to do with the price of being environmentally aware. Perhaps that explains the price hike on this bar of chocolate versus some others? I love that Newman's company puts a portion of its proceeds back into helping others, and that too may explain the price hike, but I don't have to like it. Not when other brands are just as tasty and cost much less.Similar chocolate in quality and taste: Dagoba Dark (59%) Semisweet Bar, 2.0-Ounces Bars (Pack of 12) focuses too on being environmentally friendly. My suggestion if you like dark chocolate and want to help the planet, you consider Dagoba, Newman's Own Organics and Endangered Species Black Panther, Extreme Dark Chocolate (88%), 3-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) for your own head to head taste test to determine your favorite.If you're going to be purchasing your chocolate with the environment and natural ingredients in mind, you should also figure out which one tastes best to you.

This is great dark chocolate. It is 54% cocoa which might make you think it could be bitter but it is not at all: it has a very light and enjoyable sweet taste. It also has a very silky texture. I have had almost every expensive dark chocolate out there (me a chocolate addict? Big time!) and I have to say this is one of the nicest surprises--a very nice chocolate, not too sweet, still tastes like dark chocolate but none of the "too dark" taste you often get from expensive chocolates. Also, it's organic.You have to hand it to the folks at Newman's Own, they not only find great products, but they do wonderful work in the world. Paul Newman left a legacy that is far larger than his films: he left the world with a dose of great humanity.That said: The Vine newsletter said this would be 12 bars, I got one. When I wrote and asked why, I got a typical runaround from some "customer service" employee (I think they need to rename this people something that better reflects what they really do which is to, as we said in the 60's, shine you on) who gave me the company line. In other words, our mistake, tough luck. But I take this Vine program seriously and put a lot of time and effort into reviewing products and I think if Amazon is going to ask Vine members to review things fairly, they should treat the people who do the reviewing fairly.But the chocolate, out of this world good. And Newman's Own? Perhaps the best organization on earth. Results: I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of this chocolate. It has a light and enjoyable sweetness that I really appreciated. The texture is incredibly smooth and silky, adding to the overall experience. What impressed me the most is that it strikes a perfect balance between the flavors of dark chocolate and sweetness. It doesn't have that overpowering "too dark" taste that can sometimes be found in expensive chocolates. Plus, the fact that it's organic adds an extra appeal. Overall, it's a very nice chocolate option that combines the best of both worlds. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: silky, light, enjoyable, not too sweet Negative: x

This particular chocolate bar was "perfect" in my opinion, since I often find dark chocolate bars to be "too bitter." Instead, this one seems somewhere in the middle, between the REALLY Dark chocolate and the light chocolate. It is smooth, and enjoyable.While the information lists a bar as a "single serving," I consider one square (there are 6 in a bar) to be adequate to meet my desire for chocolate, and still maintain my girlish figure. ;-)Background for those who care about organics, fair trade, and sustainability:Nell Newman co-founded the Organics line back in 1982, and it split from Newman's Own in 2001. The company has a serious focus on organics, and is a member of the Rainforest Alliance, ensuring that the chocolate is not only grown organically, but also in a socially and ecologically appropriate manner. Newman confirms that all chocolate is purchased at fair trade prices.Since the Rainforest Alliance recently issued a joint statement with Fairtrade and UTZ Certified, you can be assured that this chocolate was not produced by slave labor.For most people considering purchasing these bars, this is not an issue, however, I try to be conscious of social issues, and researched this information for those who find it important. Results: I absolutely loved this chocolate bar. It struck the perfect balance for me, as I often find dark chocolate to be too bitter. This bar has a wonderful middle ground, not too dark and not too light. The smoothness and overall enjoyment factor were exceptional. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: light, smooth, enjoyable Negative: x

I pretty much love any kind of chocolate (other than white chocolate which I can't stand). I enjoy milk chocolate as well as dark chocolate so that may explain why I liked this so much. It seems to me that it is in the middle, between the two in flavor. It doesn't have the totally creamy, sweet flavor of milk chocolate, but doesn't have the bite sometimes associated with dark chocolate (and no aftertaste I sometimes find with dark). Some folks may find that being in the middle equals bland but I found it delightful.The bar itself it a bit bigger than an iPhone and bigger than a Hershey's chocolate bar, but it's not huge. The bar was scored into 6 squares and I ate 3 yesterday and 3 today. I found that amount completely satifying and felt no real desire to eat the entire bar in one sitting -- which is a VERY good thing.The organic nature of the bar also appeals to me since I am trying to be more aware of the chemicals I put into my body. I eat my share of junky food, but am trying to eat more fruits and veggies and this organic bar fits in with that.For anyone that enjoys chocolate, this bar is very, very good! Results: I find this chocolate bar to be a delightful middle ground between milk chocolate and dark chocolate. It doesn't have the overwhelming sweetness of milk chocolate nor the intense bitterness of dark chocolate. It has a balanced flavor that is both enjoyable and satisfying. The organic nature of the bar adds to its appeal, as I appreciate making healthier choices. Overall, this is a very good chocolate bar that I would highly recommend to any chocolate lover.

So, I don't really know how to express my feelings over a chocolate bar. In my household, there is no other choice besides dark chocolate--that's all we do. Whether it's the conventional Special Dark or the ritzy high end selections, we've tried it all. I was excited to check out Newman's Own, an organic variation weighing in at 54% cocoa. When we go upscale, we tend to venture into the 72% range, so I was interested to see the difference.Me: I liked the bar. It was appropriately sweet (but perhaps not dark enough) and had a smoothness I enjoyed. Spouse: Didn't like it as much as I did. Not enough cocoa content, rather generic in conception. Value: While we split over quality, we agreed that the price tag on this chocolate was probably a bit high. We've had better alternatives for less--in some cases a lot less! Obviously, no one is going to hate a chocolate bar--I'd just recommend that you sample one before investing in a large quantity. Make sure it delivers the bang you require for your buck!3 Stars from my spouse, 4 stars from me--product at 3 1/2 stars. But since I write the review, I get the round-up! Results: I personally enjoyed this chocolate bar, finding it to be pleasantly sweet and smooth. However, my wife didn't share the same enthusiasm, feeling that it lacked sufficient cocoa content and had a generic taste. We both agreed that the price of the chocolate was on the higher side. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: sweet, smooth Negative: not enough cocoa

The Newman's Own Organics Dark Chocolate Bar offers a 2.25 ounces of smooth but unimpressive dark chocolate flavor. It's of medium taste quality, in my opinion, like it's missing something.Packaged in a small brown and black wrapper, this candy bar is created using 54% cocoa, which has proven to be beneficial for cardiovascular well-being, reducing your risks of blood clots, heart attacks and strokes. On the downside, this bar contains 330 calories, which compared to a regular candy bar without healthy cocoa ingredients, is a high fat content. When compared to other bars packed with healthier cocoa, the Newman's Own Organics dark chocolate bar does compare in that regard.Newman's Own gives all of it's profits to charity, and the company motto is "Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good." They are a company that does the right thing and sets the standard by which other companies should follow.Just for the chocolate, I'd probably pass. But if I have to have chocolate, and I do have to have it, I'd choose Newman's Own Organics over another brand that doesn't use good business practices and donate their profits to charity; right up there with supporting mom and pop stores and shopping local grocers instead of buying at the nearest big-box super center.So it's not just a chocolate bar. It's a chocolate bar that pays it forward. Results: In my opinion, the taste of this chocolate bar is average and feels like it's lacking something. It is packaged in a small brown and black wrapper and contains 54% cocoa, which is known to have cardiovascular benefits. However, it has a high fat content compared to other bars that contain healthier cocoa. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: smooth Negative: high fat

This is a fairly high quality confection. The flavor is smooth, round, and fruity, almost raisin-y. However, I am a dark chocolate lover, and dark chocolate lovers won't be seduced by refinement alone.So I consulted my spouse, a light/milk chocolate lover, and we both agree that while tasty, Newman's Own Organics dark lacks that subtle, almost spicy bitterness that brings out the complexity and assertive flavors of chocolate at varying cacao levels. Now obviously 54% cacao isn't going to register on the palate like 70%, 75% or 90% cacao, but there can still be that "snap" to chocolate, which is often compared to notes in coffee or chili pepper, even at the lower percentages. I can still, for example, perceive that note in many grocery store brand chocolate morsels, although the overall quality of those will not match the Newman's. By comparison, the Newman's has a waxiness that reminds me of Dove or Cadbury's.I will say that this is probably a safe choice for company, where a little something sweet is desired that won't be too much for less-than-diehard fans of the dark stuff. It's agreeable; just not distinctive enough to kill for, which is pretty severe criticism where chocolate is concerned! Results: The flavor of the Newman's Own Organics dark chocolate is smooth and fruity, with a hint of raisin-like taste. However, as a dark chocolate lover, I feel that it lacks the subtle, spicy bitterness that I appreciate in high-quality dark chocolates. My spouse, who prefers light/milk chocolate, agrees that while tasty, it doesn't have the complexity and assertive flavors found in chocolates with different cacao levels. The texture of the Newman's chocolate is waxy, similar to brands like Dove or Cadbury's. Overall, it can be considered a safe choice, but it may not fully satisfy the preferences of dark chocolate enthusiasts. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: smooth, round, fruity Negative: not appealing

Ok, so I am a little biased. I adore the late Paul Newman, his family, his enterprise, his charity, and all of his products. But I also love me some dark chocolate! I take my chocolate tasting very seriously and wouldn't give it high marks just based on sheer good will. This is some seriously good stuff! Even though I love dark chocolate, I am not what one would call a chocoholic. I have restraint. I typically have a bar in my cupboard, then after dinner break off a piece or two. I savor it, then I leave it at that. Tonight I tried a piece of this delicious confection had to eat half the bar all at once. It was SO GOOD! What I love about it is it's creamy consistency. You usually find that in only milk chocolate, whereas dark chocolate usually has a sharp, almost bitter taste to it. You don't get any of that bitter taste in this bar at all - and yet it's a true dark chocolate. How do they do that? There are lots of subtle undertones of flavors, and it makes for an amazing dessert. And of course coming from Paul Newman, it's heaven sent.Bonus too that they took such great care in choosing the best fair-trade organic chocolate. That's a big deal because if you look at most commercial chocolate sources, it makes the diamond industry look tame. This makes Newman's Organic a truly guilt-free delight. Enjoy!

I used to hate dark chocolate. I didn't care for its dryer texture or bitter taste. Then I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and chocolate pretty much became a no-no. Through careful experimentation though, I discovered I could occasionally enjoy a square of dark chocolate with higher cacao percentages because they have less sugar. I began to appreciate the flavor of chocolate without the milky sweetness and have since been a big fan.Keeping that in mind I'm always trying new brands and blends in search of the perfect dark chocolate bar. Unfortunately, as much as I love Newman's Own as a company and many of their other products this chocolate was just not for me. It's too sweet and the vanilla taste came through strong. It melted into a watery consistency in my mouth and almost had an alcohol-like tang to it. Once I'd noticed that tang I checked the ingredient list and sure enough it's made with chocolate liquor which some may like but I personally don't care for when I reach for dark chocolate.At only 54% cocoa this is pretty low on the spectrum of darker chocolates and with it's texture would be a great introduction to dark chocolate for someone who doesn't like it usually. It kind of reminded me of an oversweetened version of Lindt Lindor Truffles Dark Chocolate, 60-Count Box's centers. If you like organic and fairtrade chocolate this is certainly not a bad place to start but I would recommend trying Theo Classic Organic (70% Cacao) Dark Chocolate, 3-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) (or any other Theo chocolate bars which are my FAVORITE Organic and Fair trade chocolate products) if you're looking for something similar but with a higher cocoa content. Results: aAlthough I have a great appreciation for Newman's Own as a company and their other products, I personally did not enjoy their chocolate. It was too sweet for my taste, and the vanilla flavor was overpowering. The chocolate had a watery consistency when it melted in my mouth and left an alcohol-like tang, which I discovered was due to the inclusion of chocolate liquor in the ingredients. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: x Negative: too sweet, too strong, watery

Newman's is a brand that I'm used to hearing on fig bars, prunes, and other things much healthier than chocolate, so I wasn't sure how good their chocolate was going to be. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that not only was their chocolate very fancy, but it was also very smooth and not as bitter as other dark chocolates.The packaging, as you can see from the picture on the description page, is very ornately designed, and the bar is the same. It is divided into sixths, and on each sixth there is an engraved N.The taste, which I was very surprised at, wasn't bitter like Hershey's dark chocolate tends to be, but it wasn't too sweet. It was just the right bittersweet mixture! Also, on top of this, it had a very creamy texture, much like milk chocolate would.In one 2.25 ounce bar, there are 330 calories, so I wouldn't necessarily describe this as a healthy snack, but all of the ingredients are organic, making it more nutritious than your average chocolate bar.Overall, it is a deliciously different type of dark chocolate bar that I recommend to all chocoholics (like me). Results: I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this chocolate. It had a smooth texture and a less bitter taste compared to other dark chocolates. The packaging is beautifully designed, and the bar itself is divided into sixths, each marked with an engraved N. The taste was a perfect balance of bittersweetness, not too bitter or too sweet. What impressed me even more was its creamy texture, reminiscent of milk chocolate. Overall, it exceeded my expectations and offered a delightful chocolate experience. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: fancy, smooth, not too bitter, not to sweet, creamy Negative: x

Note: by "all" I did not mean *my* chocolate.Newman's own organic dark chocolate is really fine chocolate, more like that you would expect to find at a chocolatier than at a grocery store! There are things about it which are, in my experience, fairly unique. It is a dark chocolate with the mouth feel and texture approaching milk chocolate. It is not chalky, bitter or grainy. There are ways in which the texture approaches truffles. I am guessing that is because they use cocoa butter instead of some other oil or fat, like most commmercialy available chocolates. It is 56% dark; not as dark as some, but in my opinion it strikes a nice balance bot6h smooth and dark.It is made from high quality 100% organic and Rainforest Alliance certified; good for you and the planet. If that's not enough, Newman's own donates 100% of after tax profit to charity, a product you can feel good about no matter how you look at it!I would say without reservation that htis is the best organic dark chocolate that I have had (and I have had quite a few)!My only real issue with it is that mine is gone and I will have to order some more. Results: I found this dark chocolate to have a unique mouthfeel and texture that is reminiscent of milk chocolate. It's smooth, not chalky or grainy, and even has similarities to truffles. I believe this is due to the use of cocoa butter instead of other oils or fats commonly found in commercial chocolates. With a 56% dark cocoa content, it strikes a nice balance between smoothness and darkness. What's more, it's made from high-quality organic ingredients and is Rainforest Alliance certified, making it both good for you and the planet. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: not chalky, not bitter, not grainy, high quality Negative: x

I've been a fan of Green & Black's Maya Gold, Organic Dark Chocolate with Orange & Spices, 3.5-Ounce Bars (Pack of 5) for many a year, so I was delighted to be offered Newman's Own Organics Dark Chocolate Bar, 3.25-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) for review. (There is currently no link availble to the Pack of 12 2.25 ounce bars) I've been anxiously waiting for my package to arrive, as I had discovered a few recipes on the Newman's Own site, one of which is for a Chocolate Angel Cake that sounded just delightful - and a great way to use up some of that chocolate! Imagine my surprise when that Pack of 12 turned out to be a single 2.25 ounce bar!As a result, I really cannot comment on this particular product other than to say it has a nice, smooth chocolate taste, though it is fairly low in cocoa solids. Any other properties that Newman's Own Organics Dark Chocolate might have as a candy or confection coating or baking ingredient will remain untested. Strictly as a chocolate bar, this is one I can take or leave. Green & Black's - long involved in the organic, sustainable rainforest movement - will remain my go-to dark chocolate bar. Results: While Newman's Own Organics Dark Chocolate has a pleasant and smooth chocolate taste. I have not tested its suitability as a candy or confection coating or baking ingredient. As a chocolate bar on its own, it is a personal preference whether to enjoy it or not. Overall Sentiment: neutral Aspects: Positive: nice, smooth Negative: x

I really like NEWMAN'S OWN ORGANIC DARK CHOCOLATE BAR. It's not as bitter as some dark chocolates like Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares Dark Chocolate 60% Cacao, 5.25-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6) but that's due to the lower cocoa content, 54% vs. 60% and higher in others, so it can be a good or bad thing depending on how you like your dark chocolate to taste.For me, this is just right; not sweet like milk chocolate and not bitter at all! My only complaint would be that I wish the bar was scored so that the pieces would be a little bit smaller. Right now the bar is somewhat scored into six squares, but those are pretty big squares, so you have to break them in half to let it sit comfortably in your mouth and let it dissolve.That's really the best way to eat dark chocolate: put a small piece in your mouth and let it dissolve slowly . NEWMAN'S OWN DARK CHOCOLATE starts melting almost immediately into a chocolate cream that coats your tongue and the roof of your mouth, so that you get that wonderful taste just enough to satisfy a sweet craving.I highly recommend it to those who love chocolate, but want to skip the milk chocolate and find that other dark chocolates are too bitter. NEWMAN'S OWN DARK CHOCOLATE will satisfy that craving without making you go overboard. Results: I personally really enjoy NEWMAN'S OWN ORGANIC DARK CHOCOLATE BAR. It strikes a perfect balance between the bitterness of dark chocolate and the sweetness of milk chocolate. The only improvement I would suggest is scoring the bar for smaller pieces. When you bite into it, the chocolate melts into a creamy texture that coats your tongue and the roof of your mouth, providing a satisfying and sweet taste. I highly recommend it to chocolate lovers who prefer a milder dark chocolate option and want to avoid the extreme bitterness of other brands. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: not sweet, not bitter Negative: too big

My wife and I independently taste-tested this product. My wife is a regular consumer of dark chocolates while I tend to prefer milk chocolate, and/or chocolates with fillings. After trying it out, we both decided that we would not purchase this product in the future, though for different reasons. Here are our independent reviews:My wife: I am confused by the labeling of this product. It is called a 'dark chocolate' but has a 54% cacao content. Most dark chocolates that I buy have upwards of 65% - 75% cacao. When I first opened the package, I noticed a smoky aroma. I eat a lot of dark chocolate, including raw chocolate, but I never noticed such a smoky aroma before and found it pleasant. My first bite was disappointing. It is a bit too sweet for me, and is certainly significantly sweeter than the dark chocolates that I buy. It is smooth, which I like. While I appreciate the fact that Newman's own is producing an organic, minimally processed, chocolate I will not purchase this again.Me: From my first bite I knew that this chocolate was not for me. It had a distinctly waxy feel that I usually associate with inferior chocolates - this was an immediate turnoff. There was absolutely nothing distinctive about this chocolate - no fruity notes, no particular bitterness, nothing that sticks out. While this chocolate is better than a lot of what constitutes the mass market, I cannot recommend it. Results: I'm confused by the labeling of this product as well. Despite being called a 'dark chocolate,' it only contains 54% cacao, which is lower than what I typically expect from dark chocolates. When I opened the package, I noticed a unique smoky aroma, which was a pleasant surprise. However, upon tasting it, I found the chocolate to be sweeter than I prefer. It lacks the intense richness and depth of flavor that I usually enjoy in dark chocolates. On the positive side, the texture is smooth, which is a quality I appreciate. Overall Sentiment: negative Aspects: Positive: smoky, smooth Negative: waxy, too sweet

Overall, this is a nice chocolate bar with the benefit of being organic and rainforest certified. The chocolate dissolves quite smoothly and evenly - we compared it against a number of other dark chocolate bars we purchased from Trader Joe's and other places, and it dissolved more smoothly than any others. It isn't as bitter as many other dark chocolates, and hence, it may appeal to some people who don't really like other dark chocolates. The appearance of the bar was great - it had clean, dark surface, and there were no white blemishes or other marks that sometimes mar chocolate bars. The bar breaks with a nice "snap," and the aroma is quite nice. Overall, both my wife and I found the taste to be excellent.On the downside, the bar has fewer cocoa solids than the other cocoa bars we tasted - 54% cocoa solids. Most of the others we sampled had 70%-80% cocoa solids - a couple were even higher. This _could_ be important to some health-concious consumers, because many studies examining the health benefits of dark chocolate have defined "dark" to mean 65+% cocoa content. That should be taken with a grain of salt, because some recent studies also have found merit to chocolates with lower cocoa content, but the majority of studies to date have focused on dark chocolate.Another possible concern related to this chocolate could be the price. A twelve pack of bars comes in at $25,85 (possibly plus shipping); Trader Joe's has a number of bars that, although sometimes not as tasty, are certainly not as expensive.In sum, for taste, aroma, and presentation, this is a really good chocolate bar. The negatives are price and a lower cocoa solid content. Results: I found this chocolate to dissolve smoothly and evenly, even more so than other brands. It has a milder taste compared to other dark chocolates, which might appeal to those who don't typically enjoy the bitterness of dark chocolate. The appearance of the bar was impressive, with a clean and dark surface, free from any blemishes. The texture was satisfying, providing a nice snap when broken. The aroma was also pleasant. Both my wife and I enjoyed the taste of this chocolate. However, it's worth noting that this bar contains fewer cocoa solids compared to other brands. Additionally, the price could be a potential concern. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: smooth, clean, pleasant aroma, excellent taste Negative: high price

I don't usually like anything other than milk chocolate. But I do know that the benefits of dark chocolate are good, so I thought I would give this a whirl and I'm really glad I did.Much to my surprise I found this to be an altogether pleasant experience. This chocolate has a rich, creamy texture when allowed to melt slowly in your mouth. It also was wonderful just to down-right gobble, but I don't recommend it. (Gobbling that is) This product is just too good to gobble willy-nilly!It had no unpleasant bitter aftertaste that I've come to expect with certain darker chocolates. I sometimes like my chocolate to be a bit on the softer side, so I also tried the candy a tiny bit melted and found that it was even better. There is no waxy taste to this bar and it melts well, it is rich, creamy and full bodied. And I had to really restrain myself from gobbling this up in one sitting.I'm not one who likes European chocolates; I have a love of Hershey's and always will, so this product is right up my alley, and if I find myslef looking for something a little different...this will be it from now on. Results: I thoroughly enjoyed this chocolate and found it to be a delightful experience. The texture is rich and creamy, and it melts wonderfully in the mouth. I didn't experience any unpleasant bitterness that can sometimes be present in dark chocolates. I also tried the candy a tiny bit melted and found that it was even better. There is no waxy taste to this bar and it melts well, it is rich, creamy and full bodied. And I had to really restrain myself from gobbling this up in one sitting. Overall Sentiment: positive Aspects: Positive: rich, creamy Negative: x
