These headphones do sound good and I am sure they are good for people
question: How is the headphone?, context: These headphones do sound good and I am sure they are good for people at the gym, but I am too annoyed by the hooks around my ear because they just don't conform to my ear properly.

the drive does not come to 8G.
question: How is the space?, context: Says it's is supposed to be an 8G drive, but my machine says it's only 7.27G.Not happy.And when 'close' is not good enough, this drive does not cut it. I went with a 16G drive from ScanDisk. Hopefully, I'll get more than 8G!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Since my post, I was contacted by Kingston and given a very professional reason why the drive does not come to 8G. So, I've modified my rating and yes, I should have realized having worked in the industry for some time (20+ years), that I should have ordered a drive 1 size larger than what I need.Thanks Kingston!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Here is Kingston's response:Hello, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. We apologize for the confusion about the drive. Please understand that some of the listed capacity is used in formatting and other functions, as such would not be available for data storage. I recommend getting a drive one size larger than required, one to make sure the drive has enough space for the intended purpose and two to leave some empty space for the drive to perform at it's best. A drive at full capacity does not typically perform as well as when it is not. For any further assistance with our products, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Please be sure to have the part in question on hand when you call.Thank you for selecting Kingston...

the materials look durable
question: How is the quality of the material?, context: Even though this reflector is not that expensive, it does the job greatly.I normally use it when shooting outdoors to avoid having weird shades. The Translucent/Silver/Gold/White/Black side does an excellent job :)I'll recommend you to buy it, the size is great, the materials look durable (have had an issue yet and I bought a while ago), it feels sturdy yet it is easy to collapse (if you have practice on folding this type of reflectors), comes with a carry bag, when collapse doesn't take much space so it's easy to transport.Definitely a really good purchase.Recommended product.

These are great
question: How is the plastic holding?, context: These are great! I bought 8 to house all my old drives. The plastic is sturdy, the design is simple and minimal, none have gone wrong yet. Really easy to pop them open again and swap a drive out.In my experience these enclosures can break whether they're an expensive Lacie or G-Drive or a cheap Orico, it's all pot luck, and I've had USB controllers die in every kind of enclosure and device. So for $12 you can't go wrong.

The feel of the camera is very sturdy, the shutter sound is great
question: Why is this camera fantastic?, context: I loved my D90, and thought long and hard about upgrading to the D7000. It arrived yesterday as promised (Thanks Amazon! Awesome service once again), and I have to say, this camera is awesome. The feel of the camera is very sturdy, the shutter sound is great. I've taken about 150 shots with it, and am very pleased with the outcome using my Nikon 16-85mm lens. As great as the D90 was, I feel that the D7000 is a good upgrade, and well worth the money....Thanks

There is no software to install, the CD just contains instructions and will tell you if your connection is good
question: How did I make the connection?, context: I'm very happy with this router. My first thought when I opened the box, was, oh--it's so small. I bought it to replace a a poor abused Linksys wireless router that I'd had for years and had been dropped one too many times.The Medialink router set up easily--I did choose to use the CD that came with it, but you don't have to. There is no software to install, the CD just contains instructions and will tell you if your connection is good. Since installing the router, I haven't had any problems with it and it seems like my internet speed has increased. The signal is stronger than my last router--all the bars are solid. My computer is in a different room than the router and there have been no drop offs disconnects. Good router for the price, definitely.

These headphones are Better than Bose
question: Does this headphone excellent?, context: These headphones are Better than Bose, Dr. Due and others. These have Highs, Mids, and Lows. Great Sound Quality. I will be buying more of these for friends and family. Earbuds are bad for your ears they just blast Highs and mids in your ear causing you to go deff in a few years. The sound is trapped in your ear and no where for it to go. With these Audio-Technica Headphones the Sounds can go around your ears and not get the sound trapped in your ears.

the connector was VERY tight
question: What is the appearance of the connector?, context: I ordered this LFE cable with a splitter to add to my new SVS sub and move the existing sub into a corner. the connector was VERY tight but this is a plus and I do not have worries about it coming off easy and it "clicks" into place. I was using an audiophile grade cable before but switching between them there is no audible difference and the quality appears on par for a fraction of the price. The cable is thick, gold plated, has colour coding but doesn't have the price of most pro grade cables. I'm sure if tested properly they may find some small quibble why it isn't a true audiophile grade cable but for us mortals who cap the price of front speakers to $2000 or so these cables are a great deal for their quality, price and performance. Now I hope media bridge reads these reviews because now I want you guys to make a 35ft hdmi with Ethernet FLAT cable to run to my future projector install, I don't want to pay 5x what you guys may charge for some other companies cable that will not be any better.

the poor little fan struggling to keep things cool
question: How a heating problem can be solved in a notebook computer?, context: I have a 14" Dell Latitude E5420 w/Core i7.When running CPU intensive processes, the laptop used to get very hot and you could hear the poor little fan struggling to keep things cool. In fact, once while playing NFS: Hot Pursuit (The newest one) the laptop actually went into thermal protection because the CPU crossed 100 degrees (Celsius).On idle, without the fans, it holds steady between 55 and 60 degrees.With fans I'm usually between 38 and 46.So we can easily say this is more than a 20% decrease in heat. And as we know with electronics, the cooler it is, the more efficient it works.I placed one fan directly under the CPU and the other under the RAM.These fans are extremely quiet, so you'll actually forget that they're on!I also disagree with the person that stated that this item cannot be used on one's lap due to the open back design. The fans come covered. And even then, the pad is at an angle so they don't even touch my legs if I'm on the bed. Also, if it's hot, using the laptop on your lap actually helps to keep your legs a bit cooler as well!Be very careful with the fans as you dismount and remount as the clips that hold them in place do seem to be rather cheaply made and will probably break very easily.Also, be gentle with the USB power plug. It also seems to be cheaply made and may break with too rough a use.All in all I have already recommended this product to a friend and would suggest it to anyone whose laptop gets to hot to stay on your leg.I also recommend this highly over the other coolers that have one big central fan. The fact that these fans are removable, you can position them exactly where the problem is.One big central fan with a fancy blue light is pretty... but this one is just purely efficient!Since I've had this item, the hottest I've been able to achieve was 83 degrees. And that was for video rendering at 1080p. All four cores at 100% with Turbo Boost.Buy this!

In fact, once while playing NFS: Hot Pursuit (The newest one) the laptop actually went into thermal protection because the CPU crossed 100 degrees (Celsius).On idle, without the fans, it holds steady between 55 and 60 degrees.With fans I'm usually between 38 and 46.So we can easily say this is more than a 20% decrease in heat. And as we know with electronics, the cooler it is, the more efficient it works.I placed one fan directly under the CPU and the other under the RAM.These fans are extremely quiet, so you'll actually forget that they're on!I also disagree with the person that stated that this item cannot be used on one's lap due to the open back design. The fans come covered. And even then, the pad is at an angle so they don't even touch my legs if I'm on the bed. Also, if it's hot, using the laptop on your lap actually helps to keep your legs a bit cooler as well!Be very careful with the fans as you dismount and remount as the clips that hold them in place do seem to be rather cheaply made and will probably break very easily.Also, be gentle with the USB power plug. It also seems to be cheaply made and may break with too rough a use.All in all I have already recommended this product to a friend and would suggest it to anyone whose laptop gets to hot to stay on your leg.I also recommend this highly over the other coolers that have one big central fan. The fact that these fans are removable, you can position them exactly where the problem is.One big central fan with a fancy blue light is pretty... but this one is just purely efficient!Since I've had this item, the hottest I've been able to achieve was 83 degrees. And that was for video rendering at 1080p. All four cores at 100% with Turbo Boost.Buy this!

I really haven't found anything to dislike about this
question: How is the text?, context: I really haven't found anything to dislike about this. It's a considerable improvement over the previous model year. It just does everything I expect of a tablet.The text is very clear and sharp. This is a good tablet for reading books, which is more than I expected.There is the one small curiosity where there isn't a camera app provided. You can readily download one for free, however.

This keyboard is nice and light but doesn't feel flimsy
question: Does the keyboard lightweight?, context: This keyboard is nice and light but doesn't feel flimsy. I felt comfortable off the bat and started right away on my homework with ease. I paired so easily and quickly with my iPad 2.Typing is smooth and there is click to the keys that are not intrusive. Typing in the dark is nice and now I don't have to worry about disturbing my sleeping husband with bright lamps on while studying late at night.Having the other function keys on this keyboard are so useful.If I stop typing, the light on the keyboard dims after about 15 seconds. But after I move my fingers or depress a key, it lights back up again and with no lag at all. I walked away for about 5 minutes and came right back with no lag or delay as well.I was looking for a portable keyboard for my iPad 2 and having the quality of this brand plus the backlit keys were a plus. Too bad there isn't some sort of hard shelled carrying case for this, so for now, I'm not going to just throw it into my bookbag.I also opted for the retractable auto charger, retractable home travel charger, and the Fellowes 9184901 Laptop Palm Support.

it goes for a much cheaper price
question: How much does a tablet with a good interface cost?, context: Great product for using Netflix on my tv. I wish it was adaptable to more applications such as web browsing, amazon prime on demand, MLB TV, etc; but it doesn't have that feature yet. The app is very easy to use though for Netflix which is the main use I have for it and it goes for a much cheaper price than Apple TV or other alternatives. I just wish it had more capabilities.

but it's still a compact pocket camera with limitations.
question: How is the design of the camera?, context: I bought 2 of these around X-mas of last year for just over $200 each. I really like the camera for the ease of use. All the buttons and menu layout all are well designed and thought out enough, so that if you used a digital camera before, you don't have to read the manuel to figure out how to use all the functions. I also like the fast start up time, the long battery life, and the various functions like video, continuous shooting mode etc... None of these functions are unique to Cannon cameras though. The color rendition is excellent.And this camera is pretty durable too. I've carry one of these around often in my jean pocket. The view screen did get scratched up a bit, but that's my fault for keeping coins and keys in the same pocket occasionally.What I didn't like about this camera is the quality of the pictures. Even in good light you don't get really crisp and sharp pictures. Perhaps I'm not being fair here. The pictures from my Fuji2700 (only 2 mega pixels) look much crisper and sharper, but that camera is much bulkier with the bigger lens. To be fair, I have not seen better pictures from any other super compact cameras in this class either.So, over all I would recommend this camera over any other comparable 6Mega pixel models in the same price range. Just remember that it's great for taking snap shots and a bit more, but it's still a compact pocket camera with limitations.

This cable is cheap
question: Is the cable expensive?, context: I really wish that I was able to use HDMI, but I can't... so I had to go with optical.I have used optical cables in the past and they haven't been my favorite, but I was out of choices here so I gave it another go.This cable is cheap and works about the same as any other optical would, but I find that the sound that it sends is bad. I have tried another optical cable belonging to my brother and the sound quality seems much better. I don't know if it's a flaw in the cable or just due to the production or what. The cable DOES work and it is a decent cable, but it just does a lackluster job on the sound quality end, it seems.In the end I've just decided to use the TV speakers for now, while I decide what kind of receiver to get (one that has an HDMI hookup).

The speakers seem to be pretty good quality
question: What is the quality of the speaker?, context: I purchased this set of Energy 5.1 speakers with powered sub and I couldnt be happier. I consider myself a Home Theatre Enthusiast. The speakers seem to be pretty good quality and look great, I like the fact that you can take the dust covers off if you choose. Also you can flush mount to wall or use mounting brakets.The sub sounds really good, deep base that I can actually feel it thumping the floor during movies. The speakers are crisp, clear and sound great.Don't think your buying a generic set of speakers just because they don't say Klisph or Bose. This is really a great product. My AVR is actually a 7.1 so I will order 2 more speakers for my back surrounds.Bottomline is you cant go wrong with this set.

question: How is the quality of the drive?, context: I thought the description mentioned that the drive would need to be re-formatted for Mac or Linux, however I must have miss-read the description. Apparently the drive is simply unusable with the Linux OS and since I use Virtual Windows Systems inside a Linux host, the drive was useless to me.One thing I will mention is that I did test it on my nephew's Windows 7 laptop (USB 2.0 only) and it appeared to load (after a bit of a delay) and work properly however I wasn't able to do much testing with it unfortunately. It seems like a sturdy little drive and the capacity would've been nice. If I used Windows or Mac natively on any system, I probably would have kept it.

The router took about 10' to install and has worked like a charm since then
question: How did you like the router?, context: I am a professional writer, focusing on computer-related products, so I don't give 5 star reviews so easily. This product however definitely deserves it.The router took about 10' to install and has worked like a charm since then. Positioned in the ground floor of the house, it manages to give a strong enough signal to be received at 135 Mbps from the upper floor. And that's from my net-book, which has a quite mediocre network card. My room-mate claims that he has a super high speed, both for downloading and for uploading, from his desktop computer.The router has a fairly easy menu, though it took us a good 7 minutes to configure all the security settings (you can never be too careful these days). Other routers may be better in this aspect. However, this is something you only do once (or twice at most) so it's not a big deal.The bottom line is that this product is not just a good buy, but something you can cherish for a while. I would highly recommend it to any computer user who relies a lot on a wireless network for his/her internet access.One thing that it is a bit bizarre though is that the upload speed is about 3 times higher than the download speed, something that has been observed it two computers in our network. Usually DL speed is significantly lower than UL speed. That's not an issue though, since the important factor is the connection stability, which has exceeded our expectations.

My room-mate claims that he has a super high speed, both for downloading and for uploading, from his desktop computer.The router has a fairly easy menu, though it took us a good 7 minutes to configure all the security settings (you can never be too careful these days). Other routers may be better in this aspect. However, this is something you only do once (or twice at most) so it's not a big deal.The bottom line is that this product is not just a good buy, but something you can cherish for a while. I would highly recommend it to any computer user who relies a lot on a wireless network for his/her internet access.One thing that it is a bit bizarre though is that the upload speed is about 3 times higher than the download speed, something that has been observed it two computers in our network. Usually DL speed is significantly lower than UL speed. That's not an issue though, since the important factor is the connection stability, which has exceeded our expectations.
I am a professional writer, focusing on computer-related products, so I don't give 5 star reviews so easily. This product however definitely deserves it. <hl> The router took about 10' to install and has worked like a charm since then . <hl> Positioned in the ground floor of the house, it manages to give a strong enough signal to be received at 135 Mbps from the upper floor.

However if your camera,is like mine, capable of using a CF card, spend the extra money and get that card
question: How was the speed of the camera?, context: Np problems with this card whatsoever. However if your camera,is like mine, capable of using a CF card, spend the extra money and get that card. The problem with SD cards is simply they are not as sturdy and strong as their CF counter parts. A consideration for those instances when you can't afford to risk the images, or there is no chance to reshoot the event.

I had no idea that it could make this much difference
question: How good is the finish?, context: The sales people at the AT&T store put this on my iPhone 5S last night. They had never seen this brand before and were curious about it's quality, ease of use, thickness, look, etc. and were very impressed. I had an iPhone 5 with a Zag protector before and it didn't feel nearly as nice as this one does. I had no idea that it could make this much difference. Seems like a small thing, but when you feel this one, you will know what I'm talking about -- it feels great to the touch! And the matte finish is excellent. I highly recommend this product.

and watch less television
question: Does this product is good quality?, context: We were trying to live simply and watch less television. We also wanted to save some money by discontinuing our Dish Network service. At first, I was thinking about purchasing an external HDTV antennae but was daunted by the installation. I then decided to look at indoor antennas and came across the Mohu Leaf. I was intrigued that it got excellent reviews. I wasn't very hopeful because of our location. I live in Apex, NC and our subdivision is surrounded by a lot of trees and we get poor AT&T; cellphone service. But I was encouraged that Mohu has a great return policy. I figured that if it didn't work, I will just return it.I plugged it into my HDTV and had the television do a channel search. The first time I did this, I did not get a lot of channels but after moving it a couple of times (and having my TV do another channel search after each move), I was able to get 19 channels! Among a few minor channels, I got the major networks including PBS, CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC, and The CW. And guess what, at normal viewing distances, the picture quality is comparable to Dish!I'm even contemplating of buying a DVR. There are a few devices that don't even require a monthly subscription. But I'm still thinking about this. It's very tempting to be able to record all the network shows like Fringe, Desperate Housewives, or Dancing with the Stars. My main goal, after all, is to watch less television.Very soon, I will cancel my Dish service and this $44 antennae is going to save me lots of money.

the roku is a great box, it works great and has the most channels.
question: How is the unit?, context: Ok to the review. I own this roku 3,apple tv, chrome cast and amazon firetv, I'm a cord cutter, tired of paying the huge cable bills. So this review will have a pros and cons that considers the four &#34;tv boxes&#34; versus each other.ApplePros: smooth operations as far as the software goes (best i have used), works great with all apple productsCons: software is smooth because apple limits the developers by only allowing certain looks and interactions, doesn't work with some other branded products, very limited apps. limited processor versus some of the others.Roku 3Pros: great overall box, largest number of apps (channels), smooth operations.Cons: no real cons except the slower processor (doesn't have a huge effect now but may in the future)ChromecastPros: Cost (cheapest of the four), easy install, size (smallest), cost, cost, costCons: need a computer or ipad/iphone/tablet or some other type of controller to operate, wifi reception is a little weak, buffers more than the others, has limited number of apps, has a limited processor.Amazon FireTvPros: best processor, with newest firmware as of may 29 2014 is very smooth, rapid growing number of apps, the voice search is nice and has improved.Cons: not many, i love this guy and will probably buy another one.conclusion: the roku is a great box, it works great and has the most channels. I hope they develop a Roku 4 soon to combat the firetv's better processor. But roku has the best overall box, and experience. I can't wait to see what they do next.

So its not as easy to carry around or stick in a pocket or purse like a stand-alone ereader would do
question: How is ease way?, context: I got this as a gift a few months ago. I have several non-Amazon ereaders. This is my first Kindle ereader which is also a tablet. Its very nice. I was also given the case for it with the rapid charger. The case is nice, protective and I can set it up to watch movies etc.The main thing that drives me crazy is the power on button. They should have put it in an easier spot to get to and see.The other thing is also the lack of Google Play apps. There are many on there I want that are not available. Some other reviewer said there is a way to get them. I have not tried figuring that out yet.Besides those two things I have no other complaints. Obviously because it is a tablet the battery does go down faster if you are using it for other things than just reading. Another thing to consider is it is heavy because of all the features it has. So its not as easy to carry around or stick in a pocket or purse like a stand-alone ereader would do. So that is something to consider.It has great functions and great picture quality. It also has a camera and you can skype. You can check your email, download available apps, play games, listen to music read,surf, etc. There are many many other functions.As far as reading goes you can buy Amazon books right on the reader or online through your account or purchase gift cards available in most stores where the gift cards are; I see them everywhere. However, I never buy books. I read many books a month and get them all free through the Overdrive program including latest releases. I downloaded the app on my Kindle Fire HD. I can read Kindle format books and if I want to read non-Kindle format books I can read them on the ereader that is built into the Overdrive program, which is their console so I can read Kindle and Epub formats right on my Kindle Fire HD. The ereader function of the Kindle Fire is very good. The screen is bright, not much glare at all, tap to turn pages, easy dictionary access, bookmarking etc functions. I also like how secure it is. I have placed a password on it. Its very easy to figure out and use.UPDATE: I bought the ihome alarm/clock charger for this on Amazon. See my review. Its great. Its an alarm clock, charger (charges our KF and phones) and is a speaker for your KF for listening to music apps like Pandora, the FM radio the clock comes with etc.

Sound quality is fantastic
question: How is the quality?, context: The design of these is great. Unlike so many others these are designed to sit comfortably and stay there. No slippage or constant readjusting like I've experienced with my Skull Candy Inked or Apple buds. Cord keeper would have been nice addition. For the money, this is one heck of a steal. Sound quality is fantastic. Not sure how long they will last but I will get another pair as they are unbeatable for the price. Shipping took a little longer than expected due to combining purchase from this seller and another from Amazon fullfilment). Shipping was free and the wait was worthwhile, Thank you!!!

Excellent sound with great bass
question: What are your impressions about the sound?, context: I was looking for a reasonably priced ear bud that would fit securely. It also needed to fit relatively flush to my ear, so if I try to sleep on an airplane, the ear bud isn't pressing into my ear. Lastly, and most importantly, it needed to have great sound. The M6 met every criteria. Excellent sound with great bass. Mid range and high end are still clear and crisp.

it is a very interesting and promising device
question: How is device?, context: Hi,I am technical director at a software company. It has been a long time ago since I did my last programming, and nowadays I am doing mostly Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, Powerpoint presentations and Pdf document reading. Why all MS Office an Pdf ? Because 100% of our customers and suppliers use it.I like the iPad because I am truly a gadget fan, and I wanted to study its application to real business.My conclusion is that the software which is available for the iPad is still not mature, even tough the concept derives from the ipod/iphone, which have been around for a while now.From a hardware point of view, the device is quasi-perfect. Performance is great, size is OK (albeit I would prefer 16:9) and technological concepts behind the interface are very good. But again, almost everything is inherited from the ipod touch and the iphone. So from the hardware point of view, it is nothing revolutionary. An USB port would be a real plus.From the software point of view, there is much that needs to be worked out:The Numbers appliction, doesn't save files in Excel format, doesn't let fou open/save spredsheets from "internet disks" (WebDav Servers), with the exception of [...], which is really used for sharing documents and doesn't allow editing. So for working with Excel spreadsheets and sharing information for editing on the move with your co-workers, the Numbers application is useless.The Keynote app has exactly the same problem. No saving in Powerpoint format and no way of sharing the files for editing with your co-workers.The Pages app better, since it can save in Word format, but still no access to "internet disks".There are other offerings for MS Office compatible Suites, but I have evaluated 2 of them and both have big problems saving the spreadsheets, loosing the format and formulas when doing so. Result: Useless with the spreadsheets I use daily.The Mail Application is good enough, even tough you cannot send multi file attachments, so you will have to send the attachments one by one.The Browser will not render flash content. Until HTML5 becomes a widespread standard, this is also a minus, since flash is sometimes required for my business research.And as the last issue, there is not real printing support. Sure, there are some apps out there, but most of them uses "tricks" to print entire documents (like using a master pc for example: not really mobile).The iBooks application works very well if you are capable of converting pdf docs to the iPad format. Now I can read 500 pages technical specs on my couch instead od sitting endless hours sitting in front of my laptop (alltough I could use my laptop on the couch, believe me it is not really confortable).So my perception is that it will take some time until the available software matures enough, so that the device is ready for use in real business.As a home use gadget, it is a very interesting and promising device. But be aware: It is an ipod with a larger screen, which has it's advantages, since it can be used for tasks for which the ipod was not well suited to.As the time goes by, I will do more tests and post my findings

the processor is too slow
question: How about the specs?, context: It's a nice tablet as long as you stay off-line. If you wanna use it as a PDF reader it works well. For streaming videos from Youtube or Netflix it's not so good. Sometimes it streams ok, but majority of the time it slows and stops video stream. Now, mind you that I have a wifi router 2 feet from me and a perfect wifi connection. This tablet just isn't worth the money if you wanna waatch videos; the processor is too slow. (You can get a $100 tablet from Pandigital, etc. that will stream video and audio at the same pace quality.)Also, I find the periodic firmware updates from Asus a bit annoying as they do not really improve any of the app performances.

everything looks gorgeous
question: How is the base?, context: First of all, I went from an old 21&#34; Samsung monitor to this 27&#34; 1440 display. What can I say, everything looks gorgeous on it. The graphics when using windows, the movies, streaming Netflix, all look great. But the biggest difference was editing photos. That is where I believe this monitor shines. Photos are vivid and the colors are great, I did not have to make any adjustments to the factory settings. I have plenty of real estate to open the photo and have my editing tools open beside it without feeling like I'm running out of room or having to zoom in and out. Great! Playing games is awesome, I did not notice any blurring or shadowing, but I'm not a hard core gamer. I just play an occasional game. The stand is solid, although it does take up some room on your desk, it's not a deal breaker.Overall, I am extremely pleased with it and recommend it to anyone.

These speakers feel good and sound amazing
question: How is the speaker?, context: I've been eying this model for years and finally pulled the trigger to replace my old Logitech Z3's. Huge upgrade and extremely clean and solid. These speakers feel good and sound amazing. I use KRK Rokit 5's for my computer for studio monitors when I work on music and I use these setup next to my TV connected to a Bluetooth adapter for music. These speakers bump and they do it clean. Sound is amazing. I'd recommend in a heartbeat.

4 and 5 Star reviews
question: Is the review rating not good?, context: ***** Update 4/30/2012 - Apparently the 3/25 problem with charge and retention was related to the original "too short" flaw. Seeing the tape I used to build up the end had compressed a lot under the camera battery's retention clip, I improved that fix and the charge and retention are back. After a thousand flash-less test pictures there is power left in the charge from a few weeks ago. Still One Star for the size flaw, tho ********** Update 3/25/2012 - Seems to Run Out of Juice Awful Quick. . .Now I question this Brand's Total Charge and/or Retention. I've had better all-round luck with Power2000 *****I bought this extra battery for my Olympus Stylus with high hopes since a different battery from a different "No Name" brand works well in my Canon camera. On arrival the battery looked just like the Olympus original but when I put it in the camera nothing happened.Since rechargable batteries usually arrive with enough charge to at least turn on the equipment, I wondered if the thing was DOA. I tried charging the battery several times in the camera without success in any way. Again I figured DOA.For some reason I eventually tried pressing the battery down lightly inside the battery compartment with my finger and turning the camera on. ...It worked... And it worked fine every time I tried it.When installed, the battery is a "hair" too short to touch the contacts inside the battery compartment. The original Olympus battery has NO HINT of this problem. I roughly compared the Olympus and Maximal batteries side by side. If there is any difference in length it is very small but apparently enough to cause an issue.I imagine the problems with the battery having no power seen here in a few negative reviews could be from a lesser degree of the same issue, where the power connection is flawed during use or charging so one suspects the thing is no good.The work-around is to build up the end of the battery with tape or something, though such a fix could make switching batteries a real pain given the tight clearances in the battery compartment.I decided to exchange the battery and hope the replacement meets the original spec. better. I'm encouraged by it's vast majority of 4 and 5 Star reviews. The battery was provided by Amazon and I managed to discover the problem within Amazon's Return Window so at least the return is going smoothly, supposedly with no extra cost to me for shipping the battery back and receiving it's replacement.The replacement arrived and has the same problem. Using several layers of scotch tape, I built up the battery end where the tiny clip holds it in the camera. The battery seems to work fine now while still slipping in and out of the camera easily.The package has a Support number to call. The person I spoke with didn't know of any problems like mine and recommended I return the battery to Amazon AGAIN and ...get this... TRY AN DIFFERENT BRAND. AND though it also is marketed for other manufacturer's cameras, this replacement is SUPPOSED to be an EXACT match for the Olympus model my camera takes...It even has the same Model Code on the package (LI42B).Subsequently I was looking at replacements for a Canon NB-6L battery and saw many 1 Star ratings for MaximalPower's NB-6L battery noting that the thing was TOO BIG to fit, although otherwise that battery also has a high rating.

Seeing the tape I used to build up the end had compressed a lot under the camera battery's retention clip, I improved that fix and the charge and retention are back. After a thousand flash-less test pictures there is power left in the charge from a few weeks ago. Still One Star for the size flaw, tho ********** Update 3/25/2012 - Seems to Run Out of Juice Awful Quick. . .Now I question this Brand's Total Charge and/or Retention. I've had better all-round luck with Power2000 *****I bought this extra battery for my Olympus Stylus with high hopes since a different battery from a different "No Name" brand works well in my Canon camera. On arrival the battery looked just like the Olympus original but when I put it in the camera nothing happened.Since rechargable batteries usually arrive with enough charge to at least turn on the equipment, I wondered if the thing was DOA. I tried charging the battery several times in the camera without success in any way. Again I figured DOA.For some reason I eventually tried pressing the battery down lightly inside the battery compartment with my finger and turning the camera on. ...It worked... And it worked fine every time I tried it.When installed, the battery is a "hair" too short to touch the contacts inside the battery compartment. The original Olympus battery has NO HINT of this problem. I roughly compared the Olympus and Maximal batteries side by side. If there is any difference in length it is very small but apparently enough to cause an issue.I imagine the problems with the battery having no power seen here in a few negative reviews could be from a lesser degree of the same issue, where the power connection is flawed during use or charging so one suspects the thing is no good.The work-around is to build up the end of the battery with tape or something, though such a fix could make switching batteries a real pain given the tight clearances in the battery compartment.I decided to exchange the battery and hope the replacement meets the original spec. better. I'm encouraged by it's vast majority of <hl> 4 and 5 Star reviews <hl>. The battery was provided by Amazon and I managed to discover the problem within Amazon's Return Window so at least the return is going smoothly, supposedly with no extra cost to me for shipping the battery back and receiving it's replacement.The replacement arrived and has the same problem. Using several layers of scotch tape, I built up the battery end where the tiny clip holds it in the camera. The battery seems to work fine now while still slipping in and out of the camera easily.The package has a Support number to call. The person I spoke with didn't know of any problems like mine and recommended I return the battery to Amazon AGAIN and ...get this... TRY AN DIFFERENT BRAND. AND though it also is marketed for other manufacturer's cameras, this replacement is SUPPOSED to be an EXACT match for the Olympus model my camera takes...It even has the same Model Code on the package (LI42B).Subsequently I was looking at replacements for a Canon NB-6L battery and saw many 1 Star ratings for MaximalPower's NB-6L battery noting that the thing was TOO BIG to fit, although otherwise that battery also has a high rating.

The drive is very slim for being a 3.5
question: How do you like the drive?, context: I recently purchased this to hook to my mac mini to use it as a way to store all my media. The drive is very slim for being a 3.5 drive and when powered on the drive is very quiet. Transfer times are fairly fast as it took me 2 hours to transfer 600GB. Formatting so the Mac would see the drive was easy and took about a minute. For the price you can't beat the amount of storage your getting, overall great drive!

I love a deep, bold coffee but don't like acidic or bitter flavor
question: How do you like the coffee?, context: I usually like to grind my own beans but tried this because I had it once before and because it's organic. I tried it a few months ago and only had one cup and was pretty sure I liked it and wanted to confirm.I got this to use in my Cuisinart that is made for keurig k cups - I cut open the pods and poured the coffee into my set reusable kcup. Because the coffee is ground so fine, it didn't work too well in the keuring but I expected that. I just brewed two small cups with the one kcup-ful and it worked fine. The coffee is rich and full bodied, not bitter and only mildly acidic. And, it tastes pretty fresh for preground coffee.I love a deep, bold coffee but don't like acidic or bitter flavor, and this was a pretty good cupful, and it's organic to boot. I find it a challenge to find a bold coffee that I like that isn't bitter/acidic, so was pleasantly surprised with this. I would probably buy again if I could use pods directly or if I could get whole beans.

coffee both in a Cuisinart automatic
question: How is the coffee?, context: I brewed the Gevalia Dark Chocolate Truffle coffee both in a Cuisinart automatic brew coffee maker and a french press. I followed the instructions on the package - 1 rounded tablespoon for each 6 ounce cup of coffee. I found the same taste results with both methods. I like a good cup of black coffee but am not fanatical about it. I do grind fresh bold or medium body beans each morning and use filtered water to prepare the pot.As someone who usually adds a little espresso or instant espresso powder to most chocolate recipes I know this flavor combination is a wonderful marriage. Depending on the percentage of espresso to chocolate, the result is either a deep mocha flavor with the coffee playing a major role, or a small addition will result in complex chocolate flavor with no obvious coffee component. Unfortunately, with the Gevalia Dark Chocolate Truffle coffee the merger of coffee and chocolate adversely affected both the coffee and the chocolate flavor.There is a definite aftertaste from the artificial flavor, and the coffee itself is bitter and acidic. I do not know if the artificial flavor affected the coffee or the coffee is bitter and acidic on its own but, after each sip I had an involuntary puckering reaction, not my lips, but the inside of my cheeks as if I was consuming something containing acetic acid, like vinegar, not that it tasted like vinegar - it didn't. The flavor was remarkably unpleasant, and when the cup cooled off, it tasted worse. Even the aroma while brewing smelled artificial.The other reviewers who mention how greatly improved the flavor became once cream was added is an indication of a consistent problem. I love the taste of coffee and like it unadorned - no cream or sugar. I only add cream if I am in a restaurant and the coffee doesn't taste good. I use the cream to doctor-it-up in hopes of salvaging some of the flavor and masking the poor aspects whether caused by bitterness or coffee that's been sitting in the pot too long. This coffee is no exception, the cream vastly improved the drinkability, but the action is akin to smearing butter on a day old roll. Underneath it is still a stale roll, and although the butter tastes delicious, it would not be accurate to call the combination a buttery delight.On the positive side, flavored coffees are usually light body and the Gevalia is definitely medium body. The packaging is quite attractive and the name is clever, but in the end may work against the product because Dark Chocolate Truffle evokes a clear taste profile for most people and the coffee doesn't live up to the name. I am rating the coffee three stars instead of less because if the purchaser always uses cream in their coffee, many of the taste issues I encountered should be if not resolved, at least mitigated.

it would take getting used to to like
question: How is the possibility like?, context: I really was a little chary of even drinking this, with a name like Aloe Gloe; I think of aloe as being something you put on burns or smooth on your skin. I rather crept up on the bottle, checking it out suspiciously; only when I was convinced that yes, it is a beverage, did I take my first sip.There is a cloying thickness to the drink that, together with an almost annoying sweetness, is off-putting. It would take a while to get used to it, and it would take getting used to to like it, I think. At the same time, I forged ahead with it because it seems clear that ingesting it is good for you. It is chock-full of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals, and I could almost feel that it was beneficial. It's not, however, your run-of-the-mill soft beverage; as stated, it has a thick consistency that is not altogether pleasant.Overall, its benefits may encourage the right consumer to develop a liking for it. I might be convinced to give it another go, but the jury is still out.

It has a nasty taste and an unpleasant aftertaste
question: Does it have a strong taste?, context: Only 2 reasons to drink something like this. Good taste or a little energy perk.It has a nasty taste and an unpleasant aftertaste. Therefore, you won't tolerate this and the lift in energy won't happen - since you won't want to drink this.It's not a complete disaster. Served chilled, it's seems a bit refreshing on a hot day (the moderate carbonation helps).If you can tolerate (or enjoy!) the musky apple taste you might like this drink. But I guess most people would rather have a cup of coffee for an energy boost (and iced coffee on a hot day!).

The taste definitely tastes fruity
question: Can you taste this oatmeal?, context: I decided to try the Wild Blueberry Pure Organic Raw Fruit & Nut Bar after trying the Cherry Cashew version and liking it but finding the "cherry" flavor to be very subtle. In addition to being Certified Organic, this bar is gluten-free and vegan. Furthermore, the Wild Blueberry flavor contains a full serving of fruit, is a good source of fiber (3 grams), and provides Omega-3s as well. There is also a decent amount of protein (6 grams, slightly less than the Cherry Cashew bar), and although the amount of sugar is higher than I would've liked (19 grams, or almost 4 teaspoons), the bar is naturally sweetened using agave nectar only, with no other added sugars added.The bar was thick and dense in appearance, with an almost slightly sticky feel. The taste definitely tastes fruity, but I could not detect a blueberry flavor at all. Rather, as other reviewers have suggested, the taste is more reminiscent of Fig Newtons, most likely because the first ingredient is actually dates (blueberries were significantly further down the list). The bar also did have a nutty flavor, and in fact it contains cashews, walnuts, and almonds. Overall, I liked the taste (I like dates!), but I thought the "Wild Blueberry" label was deceiving, and I definitely have had other bars that I prefer.In the end, I liked the Cherry Cashew Pure Bar a bit more than this one, and I would rate the nutritional profile of that flavor as slightly better as well. Although these bars are not perfect, I would definitely recommend them to someone with specific dietary needs, such as vegan or gluten-free.

This coffee got rave reviews after Thanksgiving
question: How is the coffee?, context: I've never been a fan of Gevalia, in all honesty. I've always found it to be rather weak and not worth the price. But the flavor of this one sounded intriguing, so I tried it. It's wonderful! Smooth, deep and dark without being bitter, and the chocolate undertones are deliciously rich. It's an excellent dessert coffee, and also serves quite well as "dessert" on its own, for those who decide to skip the actual desserts after dinner.I can't wait to add this coffee to my family's Thanksgiving menu. Update: This coffee got rave reviews after Thanksgiving dinner. Normally my family argues over the coffee... too strong, too weak etc. But today everyone couldn't stop saying "this coffee is REALLY good!" Can't recommend it highly enough.

bar, the saturated fat content is higher. Also, there doesn't seem to be much granola in this granola bar; instead
question: Does the product have problem after use sometimes?, context: It's hard not to compare Kraft's fiber bar with the original "Fiber One" bars. If one was comparing, I'd say Fiber One bars are still better. For one thing, even though Kraft's mocha flavored granola bar has one percent more daily fiber than a Fiber One bar, the saturated fat content is higher. Also, there doesn't seem to be much granola in this granola bar; instead, it's covered in chocolate and...I think a peanut butter/mocha flavored strip with the consistency of whipped frosting. Though I don't taste anything new here, except more sugar, the bars don't taste too bad. However, I would still take Fiber One over South Beach, as the saturated fat level is pretty high, and the size of the bar is smaller. When taste is comparable, I go for the better nutritional or monetary value.

solid granola
question: How is the texture?, context: Good solid granola that has more flavor than you would initially think. Upon first bite it just tastes like normal granola-but the flavor jumps in as an aftertaste and is use right. For the granola fan, tough to go wrong here as long as pricing is in line with other quality brands.

This sauce is delicious, but you would think it would be quite hot and spicy
question: Is the sauce tasty?, context: This sauce is delicious, but you would think it would be quite hot and spicy, seeing as it has 'haba&ntilde;ero' in the name. Haba&ntilde;ero peppers are extremely hot and you would think that would be the point of having the word in the name of the sauce, it likely being meant to tell people that this sauce is quite hot, but no; instead, the sauce has a very mild flavor of chili pepper - that's it. Apparently, there is some actual 'haba&ntilde;ero' pepper somewhere in the ingredients, but it's toward the end of the list, so evidently, not much. Anyway, the sauce is still quite delicious, just not exactly what one might expect.

most usually loved
question: How do you like the tooth?, context: Newman's Own and I have had a really good relationship thus far; I have at least liked, and most usually loved, every product I have tried from them. Their organic ginger snaps are no exception. The cookies are relatively small (somewhere between 1-1/2 to 2 inches in diameter), but they are filled to the brim with gingery goodness, which you would hope for in a ginger snap. I wouldn't think these would be for someone with a casual liking of ginger, but for those who enjoy it more, these are sure to please as far as flavor goes. As for the crunch, these are a hard cookie and not for those with gentle teeth, but they are, after all, a ginger snap. Ginger snaps are not known to be soft in any way, shape, or form. Rest assured that these won't break in shipment. My bag of cookies survived their journey even though they came in a soft envelope, which in turn was crammed into my cluster mailbox. However, when I opened the bag, I only found two broken pieces equaling a cookie. That's one tough cookie!As far as nutrition goes, it's pretty good: 5 cookies in a serving, 130 calories (30 from fat), saturated fat 1.5 grams, sugar is 12 grams (not great but it is a cookie so far better than most other choices). The ingredients in order: Organic Unbleached Wheat Flour, Organic Sugar, Molasses, Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Candied Ginger (ginger, sugar), Ground Ginger, Salt, Leavening (sodium bicarbonate, monocalcium, phosphate), Soy Lecithin, Spice. While these claim to be Vegan, I see that it doesn't say 'organic sugar' listed in the ingredients to the candied sugar, just 'sugar', so one wonders about that. If you're unfamiliar with the Newman's Own brand, it was co-founded by Paul Newman as a company where all profits from their food items go to various charities after taxes. It's a great cause that has fantastic, healthy, and quality products that while may be a bit pricier than other brands, won't break the bank.A little note, you might want to have a glass of milk, or cup of tea or coffee hanging around, because these ginger snaps really do snap back!

Roaster bags have to be one of the easiest ways to cook anything
question: What recipe can be made with chicken?, context: Roaster bags have to be one of the easiest ways to cook anything. These bags are great you just put your meat in it, add the seasoning, shake, and bake. Than you have a great meal that tastes delicious and is super simple. I usually like to use chicken breasts, since they cook in a short time and are pretty low in fat. These bags are easy and I just put the meat in, add the seasoning packet, shake (move around to evenly cover the chicken breasts and than bake. The Garlic Parmesan and Italian Herb has a great flavor, the garlic and cheese blend is great on chicken breast (and although not listed, I think it would also be great on pork chops). The coating leaves a nice flavored baked into the meat (I use skinless chicken breast) and tastes great.In the end the convenience of these are amazing. I can just toss some meat in with a packet of seasoning, and bake for about 30 minutes (varies on what you are cooking). Than I can plate and have a great meal. I sometimes also add a little water or for this cheese sauce and than get the coating out of the bag (mixed in with the cheese or water) and than drizzle on top for a little more flavor!

I sometimes also add a little water or for this cheese sauce and than get the coating out of the bag (mixed in with the cheese or water) and than drizzle on top for a little more flavor!

Switch lives up to that claim
question: How is drink?, context: This is marketed as healthy all natural all juice. From the full nutrition label, Switch lives up to that claim. The ingredients are juice caoncentrates and added vitamin C. No added sugar. Just like juice, you get fruit sugar and fruit nutrients, but none of the fiber. That's to be expected from a juice, although it seems some other reviewers were alarmed to discover that fruit is sweet due to sugar rather than naturally growing aspartame or sucrose. Healthwise, this seems fine to me.As to taste: I was expecting "Black Cherry" in a dark red can to be strong. This was mellow. I could taste the cherry juice, but I think apple was the dominant flavor. This tasted remarkably like a children's juice box or a capri sun baggie, probably because it's a mix of juices in which apple is prominent. It tasted like real juice - not fake.The carbonation was light, and added a bit of texture. At home, purchasing fruit juice in a bottle and seltzer water in a bottle and mixing them in a glass provides more options and a taste of carbonated fruit juice. I used to do lots of carbonated fruit juice mixes, and think I prefer plain apple juice and seltzer water to this, mostly because the Switch flavor didn't strike me. Which juice sits best with you will be a matter of taste, and if you like carbonated fruit juice, then this could be a way to make it portable for bag lunches, road trips, and such.Overall, if you drink a lot of sodas and like fruit juice, this is worth a try, perhaps in the form of one can on a road trip. It's healthier than soda, because it has real sugar (from fruit, not added) instead of high fructose corn syrup, but not as healthy as a piece of fruit.Oh, yes, here is the nutritional information:8.3 oz., 130 calories, 0g fat, 15mg sodium, 35g total carb, 33g sugar, 0g protein, 100% of vitamin C.Ingredients: 100% juice (filtered sparkling water sufficient to reconstitute juice concentrates, apple, grape, acerola and cherry juice concentrates), natural flavors, ascorbic acis (Vitamin C)

I am comforted by the ingredients
question: How is it ingredient?, context: I tried this Pure Bar, and I liked it. I am comforted by the ingredients: lots of protein, and both vitamins and minerals. My doctors want me to have more protein and fiber and less sodium and cholesterol. "Pure Bar" fits the doctor's orders."The Pure Bar Organic Blueberry" has six grams of protein, and twenty-six grams of carbohydrate with 3 grams of fiber. It also has 19 grams of natural fruit sugars, eight grams of fat, but has only 190 calories. It is also gluten free and contains zero sodium.Since the label mentions "organic dates, organic rice protein concentrate, and apple juice and lemon juice as well as blueberry, it is tough to decide on a name for the "taste" The taste is not great. It is a bit fruity but not distinctly blueberry.Prue Organic Wild Blueberry bar is much better for my health than most other snack and energy bar that I have seen on the market. It doesn't takes as good as a candy bar or an ice cream sunday, but it is much better for me. I highly recommend Pure Bar Organic Wild Blueberry, Raw Fruit & Nut Bar for anyone interested in a healthy snack bar.

I love the combination of chocolate with caramel corn and the Snackwell Fudge Drizzle Carmel Popcorn
question: What about snack?, context: I love the combination of chocolate with caramel corn and the Snackwell Fudge Drizzle Carmel Popcorn provided just the right balance of that combination. The chocolate didn't overwhelm the flavor of the caramel corn. The popcorn tasted fresh and the caramel coating has a good flavor.Caramel corn is one of those snacks that never seems to fill me up so I love that this is packaged in individual serving bags. I can eat one bag and satisfy my craving for a sweet snack without eating an entire box of caramel corn. At 130 calories and 18 grams of sugar per bag, it isn't a great diet snack but a nice treat once in a while. In comparison, original Crunch 'n Munch has 160 calories and 11 grams of sugar in a similar serving size.

the aroma was fantastic
question: How was the coffee?, context: Tired of paying an arm and a leg for flavored coffee drinks that are just making you fat? Brew up a pot of THIS at home!We buy a pouch of "flavored" coffee every week or so. Dunkin Donuts or Eight O'clock or folger's gourmet. They are ok with varying degrees of coffee quality and "flavor." We've tried Seattle's Best & Seattle can keep it. This is definitely one of the best.When I opened the pouch, I ws afraid it wouldn't have much in the way of chocolate flavor, but once it brewed...the aroma was fantastic. It's a very nice mixture of chocolate and coffee flavors without the sweet (you can add that if you must). At 7$ a pouch, it is comprable to what we get in the grocery...and quite yummy!

The flavors are clean and there are no wierd aftertastes from artificial flavorings
question: How was the sauce?, context: This is an excellent all-round product that can be adapted to many dishes as well as being used straight out of the bottle as a dipping sauce or as a finishing glaze.The flavors are clean and there are no wierd aftertastes from artificial flavorings. The mango used is the fragrant green and red Central and South American Mango rather than the intensely sweet South Asian Mango. The sauce is semi-thick and seems to contain a lot of fruit. There are no arificial ingredients listed on the label.The predominant taste is a sweet honey, then the clean fragrant mango, then a mild hint of Habanero follows. It is not hot as you would expect from a Habanero sauce. It would be too mild for a hot sauce afficiando, but still too spicy for a novice. Out of 10 (1 being not hot & 10 being sucicide) this would rank a 2 staright out of the bottle, as the sweetness takes the edge off. If this sauce were to be used in cooking (heat from cooking increases the hotness of chillies) then this would move up to a 3.5We used this sauce as a glaze over pork kebabs, as a dipping sauce for breaded chicken strips, and to make a sauce base for sauteed shrimp. The flank steak overpowered the clean taste of the sauce and so we added garlic, a half teaspoon of soy sauce and fresh chillies to "beef up" the sauce. This gave it a slightly Hawaiian twist.Overall a very versatile sauce than can be easily diluted/strengthened and used in many dishes. It is worth a try and would make a nice BBQ hostess gift.UPDATE Sept 27, 2009:Over the past few months this has become one of my favourite glazes to use on grilled food. It has been fantastic on skewered shrimp, scallops, chicken breast and even on a turkey burgers and turkey meatloaf. My vegetarian friends love this on their grilled veggie burgers and tofu.

These are very good
question: How is people?, context: These are very good! The caramel is blended with the chocolate, so it's not a "sticky" candy like you might expect with caramel. Instead, it's a smooth texture like plain chocolate, but with a caramel taste mixed in. I was actually surprised at how well I liked these. I expected them to be pretty much the same as tons of other candies out there, but the taste and texture are both so much better. I'll now have to add these to my addiction list. :)

this is not the
question: What is the salt crunch?, context: I think it's important to place a product in context before assessing its value and, in my opinion, this is not the sort of thing that is meant to substitute for the real deal. A fresh apple is going to beat a processed snack any time. However, sometimes, it's not feasible to have fresh fruit on hand or you need something which will travel well and not weigh you down as much. This is good to have in your desk, a backpack, or in your car for a quick snack, but it is essentially dried apples in a different form. If you like dried apples a little, you may like this just a bit more.The main selling point of this over dried apples is that it's crunchier and the little round balls are more fun to eat. They have an intense apple flavor brought on by the apple bits and the concentrated apple juice. The juice gives them a fair amount of sweetness and the little morsels are held together with potato starch. The main disappointment I have with these is that the cinnamon is far too subdued. This is my personal preference, of course. I didn't really detect any cinnamon until around the 3rd bite when it had built up enough intensity on my tongue to be present.If you like dried apples, these may do it for you. They are intense, but all dried fruit is. I thought they were okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have them again. Some snacks are the type of thing that I'd eat if someone offered them to me, but I wouldn't tend to buy them for myself. This is one of those.

They are intense, but all dried fruit is. I thought they were okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have them again. Some snacks are the type of thing that I'd eat if someone offered them to me, but I wouldn't tend to buy them for myself. This is one of those.

I think it's important to place a product in context before assessing its value and, in my opinion, <hl> this is not the <hl> sort of thing that is meant to substitute for the real deal. A fresh apple is going to beat a processed snack any time. However, sometimes, it's not feasible to have fresh fruit on hand or you need something which will travel well and not weigh you down as much. This is good to have in your desk, a backpack, or in your car for a quick snack, but it is essentially dried apples in a different form. If you like dried apples a little, you may like this just a bit more.The main selling point of this over dried apples is that it's crunchier and the little round balls are more fun to eat. They have an intense apple flavor brought on by the apple bits and the concentrated apple juice. The juice gives them a fair amount of sweetness and the little morsels are held together with potato starch. The main disappointment I have with these is that the cinnamon is far too subdued.

These are fabulous
question: How is the taste and texture?, context: These are fabulous. They don't have the same texture as mort tortilla chips. They have air in them a little, kind of a puffed up texture, as you would expect from popchips. The taste is close, but the cheese is a little more pronouced.Some nutritional information from the back of the bag:Calories: 120Fat: 4 gramsSaturated Fat: 0.5 gramsSodium: 190 mgTotal Carbohydrate: 20 gramsFor sake of comparison, here is some information from the Doritos website on their comperable chips in the same size bag.Calories: 140Fat: 8 gramsSaturated Fat: 1 gramSodium: 210 mgTotal Carbohydrate: 16 gramsSo depending on what numbers you are interested in, the benefits may or may not be worth considering. If you're just looking for great taste, these are fantastic.

It has a medium roast good flavor of Starbucks coffee with a vanilla taste that is not chemical-fake tasting and lacks odd aftertastes and the only sweetness is from whatever sweeter we choose to add
question: How is taste?, context: Starbucks French Roast (an unflavored, dark roast) is my favorite coffee which I buy in bean form and brew at home. I also enjoy splurging on fresh coffees from Starbucks coffee shops occasionally.I had not tried Starbucks Natural Fusions Vanilla until now, and am happy with this because it has a good vanilla flavor.Although I love the idea of vanilla flavored coffee, in the past, all the other coffee brands I've tasted which are served in restaurants, various coffee shops and take out restaurants (i.e. deli's and gas stations) had a fake chemical taste that I disliked. So in the past I avoided any flavored coffees.I have also tried some creamer products with vanilla and hazelnut flavors (not made by Starbucks) but those have a sweetner in them that has a strange, too-sweet taste for me.When I saw both the Starbuck's brand and the fact that this was a NATURAL vanilla flavor (made with vanilla beans) I decided to try it and I'm happy with it. It has a medium roast good flavor of Starbucks coffee with a vanilla taste that is not chemical-fake tasting and lacks odd aftertastes and the only sweetness is from whatever sweeter we choose to add.Bravo Starbucks! Your "Natural Fusions Vanilla" coffee is just right!Bonus: my package states (on the side) that if we bring the empty bag to a Starbucks coffee shop within 30 days of the "best by" date they will give us a free 12 ounce freshly brewed coffee at no charge!

This one is pretty good and different
question: Is its taste good?, context: I'm not big on the energy drinks and haven't used them a lot but I will use one when I need that extra boost to get through the night shift. This one is pretty good and different. It has a kinda odd flavor, kinda tart, very sweet, with a faint baking soda flavor in there somewhere crossed with very light carbonation. It's supposed to be Strawberry Banana but I couldn't really taste much that I could recognize as strawberry or banana. But other than being a little too sweet it was ok. I can say that I liked the taste of it just a little, at least I didn't hate it or dis-like it as I do most of the energy drinks. I can also say that I like it better than Red Bull. It would have been better if it wasn't so sweet and maybe had some carbonation. As for its effectiveness as a energy boost I'll have to get back to you on that. If it gets me through the night shift then it will be one that I wouldn't mind using again and probably will if I can find it.After using this last night it did help me a lot. I had more energy through the night shift and didn't have that much of a drop when it was running down. The best part was that it gave me the energy boost that I needed without making my jitter around like a frog on a hot sidewalk. It was good enough that it could possibly become habit forming since I could really use another shot of it today to help get over the slight hangover feeling that I had this morning. But fortunately for me they are expensive enough that I cant indulge myself and end up using them on a daily basis.

Great taste and refreshment
question: How natural does it taste?, context: Note: The zeros were cast by a troll and her gang, not real and decent people, and are against me personally and not the book or the review!Switch is a new, delightfully tasting carbonated drink. I love the equal blend of black cherry flavor--light and refreshing, with the light kick of the fizz of carbonation and the bubble feel in my mouth! In fact, that's how Switch bills itself: A perfect balance between juice and carbonation. That's my rave over this new drink.Now here's my reluctance to embrace the drink with five stars. I poured the 8.3 fluid ounces into a small glass (I have a huge collection of mismatched, but adorable clear glasses of all sizes, including this little bowl wine glass I removed from a college cafeteria in France many years ago). The glass held the contents of this tall, thin can of cheery cherry drink perfectly. But wait, by the time I quaffed the contents, I held the glass askance and asked: Is that all? I want more!In comparison my favorite beverage, Zero Sprite, holds 12 fluid ounces, a perfect amount to quench my thirst after a few hours working in the yard. I add ice to Sprite and don't care if it is watered down, but this Black Cherry Switch? No, one does not want to water down this exotic flavor. It must be drunk straight.As for its can slogan: "100% of what you want and 0% of what you don't," I'm not sure about that. Let's examine it. "What you want" is "100% juice, 100% RDA Vitamin C, All natural, Carbonated, Great taste and refreshment." I agree with all of those. So far, so good.Let's look at "what you don't" want: "No sugar added, No corn syrup, No preservatives, No artificial colors, and Gluten free." True on all those.Next the label. This is where it gets confusing. Total fat 0g, Sodium 15mg, Total Carbs 35g, Sugar 33g, Protein 0g, and 130 calories. The 33 grams of sugar can be confusing. If none was added, then the 33g must come with the natural juice. And Switch does bill itself on 100% juice.In comparison my Sprite can contains 38g of sugar and 140 calories. I thought Zero Sprite contained zero sugar. My bad. I didn't read the label. It is free of caffeine, fat, cholesterol, fiber, Vitamin A and Vitamin C, but no mention of sugar, which I assume comes from the corn syrup.I'm no nutritionist, but it seems that drinking Switch is much better than drinking a Zero Sprite, except that the can is larger so you get more.I would change those four stars to five now, except 8.3 Fl OZ still is not quite enough for one drink.Will I switch? No, but I will add Black Cherry Switch to my fridge for an occasional delightfully refreshing drink when I don't need more. Or else, I will have to trudge up to the headmaster, hold out my cup, and plead: "May I have more, sir?"Wouldn't that be embarrassing at my age?

Let's examine it. <hl> "What you want" is "100% juice, 100% RDA Vitamin C, All natural, Carbonated, Great taste and refreshment ." <hl> I agree with all of those. So far, so good. Let's look at "what you don't" want: "No sugar added, No corn syrup, No preservatives, No artificial colors, and Gluten free." True on all those. Next the label. This is where it gets confusing. Total fat 0g, Sodium 15mg, Total Carbs 35g, Sugar 33g, Protein 0g, and 130 calories. The 33 grams of sugar can be confusing. If none was added, then the 33g must come with the natural juice. And Switch does bill itself on 100% juice. In comparison my Sprite can contains 38g of sugar and 140 calories. I thought Zero Sprite contained zero sugar. My bad. I didn't read the label. It is free of caffeine, fat, cholesterol, fiber, Vitamin A and Vitamin C, but no mention of sugar, which I assume comes from the corn syrup. I'm no nutritionist, but it seems that drinking Switch is much better than drinking a Zero Sprite, except that the can is larger so you get more. I would change those four stars to five now, except 8.3 Fl OZ still is not quite enough for one drink. Will I switch? No, but I will add Black Cherry Switch to my fridge for an occasional delightfully refreshing drink when I don't need more. Or else, I will have to trudge up to the headmaster, hold out my cup, and plead: "May I have more, sir?"Wouldn't that be embarrassing at my age?

The chocolate flavor is full and rich
question: How was the chocolate taste?, context: Our family isn't a big fan of flavored coffee beans. I feel they usually have a very artificial taste, and sometimes leave a strange bitter after-effect.Needless to say, our first morning trying this Gevalia Dark Chocolate Truffle coffee we weren't expecting anything special, but we were pleasantly surprised. The chocolate flavor is full and rich, in fact a almost too rich! Making a full cup of coffee seem a bit too much. This is a flavor to savor, not chug on the way to work.Since then, we've been adding about a tablespoon of the Gevalia to our regular blend in the mornings, and it's amazing this tiny amount adds such richness and flavor to our morning cuppa.Not cheap if used alone, but if you stretch it out by making a blend with cheaper coffee as the base, you'll be thrilled at the wonderful rich flavor. A great way to pamper yourself without breaking the bank!

The South Beach Living Fiber Fit Mocha bar
question: Where is the best bar?, context: The South Beach Living Fiber Fit Mocha bar comes with 5 to a package. At 120 calories, they make a great choice if you are watching your weight. They taste pretty good for a bar with so much fiber. These bars make a nice healthy choice when you are in need of a snack. Mocha isn't my favorite flavor, but these bars are still quite good.

perfectly serviceable green tea
question: How is the quality?, context: I enjoy drinking and brewing tea, though I'm no kind of expert on the beverage. My cabinet is full of various brands of tea and all kinds of flavors. It's safe to say I don't shop for Lipton or store brand orange pekoe when I can help it. Generally I like green tea for days when I'm feeling a little under the weather, or when I'm eating Asian cuisine. When this came up on Vine, I figured, what the heck?This is a perfectly serviceable green tea blend from Higgins & Burke. The packaging is fairly pedestrian (no fancy tricorner bags, etc.), but done well enough to keep the tea bags fresh until use. The main thing is that this isn't quite green tea as the label says. It's green tea with lemongrass, lemon balm and verbena leaves. Now, that's not to say it's bad. It's green tea with a little kick to it, an added set of flavors that blend well. But if you were expecting simply green tea, it could be a disappointment. I like it fine in a mug with a little honey, though if I'm in the mood for real quality green tea, I won't have this as my "go-to".On the plus side, it makes a great iced tea. I brewed up a batch with some mint leaves and have been enjoying the treat in this unseasonably warm Spring. All in all, if you have a green tea you already love, this probably won't change your opinion, but it's a nice blend for those looking for something a little different. And great if you want a green tea for making iced tea!Happy Drinking! ^_^ Shanshad

crackers that have that grainy texture to them
question: How is the texture?, context: First impressions: Package was easy to open - and by that I mean the individually wrapped cracker things. You know how sometimes those plastic-encased things can be hard to open? No? Well, sometimes I have trouble with them. But this took little effort to tear into. I opened it up and:BAM! That smell of cheese hit me in the face. But not cheese - specifically, it smelled of cheese-whiz. That stuff was awesome - when I was in college. You know cheese-whiz? I used to love spraying that junk on RITZ crackers on college while watching TV.But I'm not in college anymore.After the strong smell of fake-cheese hits you, a hint of wheat makes itself known. That's the cracker part of these things.I pulled out the "crakerfull" only to have it come apart in my hand. I'm not kidding - the cheese-like-substance isn't strong enough to hold the crackers together. As I pressed down (very lightly) on one end, the whole thing flipped open. I had to squish it down to keep it together.Taste: It tastes just like you'd expect: it tastes like the american cheese-whiz stuff on "wheat" crackers that have that grainy texture to them. They're not terrible - but I wouldn't say they're good. I had one as a snack, and was hungry shortly afterwards. I would have originally thought maybe I can take these golfing which I like to do with things like this - but they don't taste that good, and they don't hold you over for very long.* I have no idea why the RITZ logo is on these. RITZ crackers are utterly distinctive in their own right. They have a specific taste and texture unlike any other cracker made in America. These things are nothing like a RITZ product, and I have no idea why they would associate the RITZ brand with some pseudo-cheese product on wheat-ish cracker boards.-So, yeah, I didn't really like them. They don't look like they're marketed towards kids - but they sure do not taste like anything a grown-up would want.

's nice to have something taste this good
question: How do I know if these snacks are good?, context: My favorite dried fruits are dried cherries. So I was really kidding myself when I broke off a small piece of this bar just to taste it...thinking I'd finish it later. NOT.

It's also gluten free and preservative free.I had planned to eat this bar with a cup of tea for lunch or a snack, but it ended up being dessert. It's nice to have something taste this good without having to feel guilty about eating it.

more caramel flavor than chocolate
question: How is the taste?, context: I was looking forward to these candies, since I have hadWerther's Original Hard Candy, 5.5-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)in the past and really enjoyed them. I was surprised to find that these candies are soft and chewy instead of hard like the originals.No matter the difference, these candies are really good; more caramel flavor than chocolate, slightly chewy but not as much as regular caramel. If you like the original Werther's you'll probably like these too.

the taste isn't bad
question: How is the taste?, context: Typically aloe has got kind of a bitter edge to it. This product isn't bitter, butit has an odd taste. However, I can see it being used in a smoothie, so you likely wouldn't taste it. Aloe has a lot of health benefits. So if you look at it as ahealth product the taste may not be a deal breaker. But in general, the taste isn't bad, it's just odd and that is a deal breaker. I'd rather get my aloe some other way.

These pods are meant to be used for a single serving in a coffee maker; however, I put some in my purse and take them with me.Each single serve coffee packet comes like a tea bag in a woven mesh, round pouch. Then this is sealed in an air tight foil bag. I use this with a hot pot in my office to heat water and pour it over the coffee bag just like I pour over my tea bag. It is excellent! Very convenient and easy to carry.This makes a great cup of coffee. The flavor is very light, and I like a light to medium roast coffee. Also, this product is certified organic AND fair trade!Excellent coffee and excellent production qualities.

My bars were fresh and chewy
question: Where is the bar?, context: This flavor has an overwhelming peanut, i.e. peanut butter flavor with a tart, fruity flavor reminding me of a PB&J sandwich. I didn't enjoy it but that may be because I don't like peanut butter. Too many peanuts ("nuts" to me doesn't mean a majority of peanuts) and too tart of fruit, too pasty texture of fruit as well as too much of it. I prefer nutty with no peanuts and chewy, sweeter fruit pieces. My bars were fresh and chewy (a tad on the soft side). I'd picked up various flavors at small local stores and enjoyed them so grabbed this when it went on sale to try. I'll not buy this flavor again but do recommend the brand.

They are very sweet but contain no refined sugars
question: Do you think that the oat is sweetness enough?, context: The Pure Organic Raw Fruit and Nut Bar is a healthy alternative for snacking and provides 6g of protein and 3g of fiber. The ingredients include organic dates, almonds, cashews, walnuts, and blueberries. The flavor is quite intense and surprising. They are very sweet but contain no refined sugars. This is also a gluten-free product. My first impression after biting into you reminded me of a fig newton. It has the same type consistency and flavor. I found the fruit flavor more notable than the nuts. Nice product!

It tastes like normal tap water to me
question: How is the taste of bread?, context: I was a little leary trying this high-alkaline water but I was pleasantly surprised. It tastes like normal tap water to me. Which begs the question: Why even make this water so alkaline? Our bodies are usually within the pH of 7. Unless there's a reason to drink this expensive water, I'd rather stick with normal spring water.This water tastes pure but the price is a bit high for daily use.

The flavors are very muted
question: How was it to taste?, context: I've tried a lot of different teas in my day but never a "savory tea." When I got this sampler box in the mail I tried them immediately and have some thoughts about them.First, they come off tasting like weak soup in a lot of ways. The flavors are very muted, as one might expect. I discovered that if I boiled the bags in water for 10 minutes rather than steep them as tea in a cup, the flavors are considerably improved and strengthened. Each bag contains either decaf green tea or decaf black tea, but I didn't taste tea flavors in anything I brewed.Dieters might well like how this tea feels a bit more like a foodstuff than tea normally does. At 5 calories per steeped cup of tea, it's a very light snack at best, but with whole-grain crackers and perhaps a bit of cheese, it'd feel like a decent lunch. I can't imagine drinking a cup of this tea by itself and feeling sated. The cup I tried was drunk at midday with no breakfast in my stomach yet, and it definitely didn't curb any hunger pangs. Middle-aged and Boomer dieters familiar with powdered bouillon packets in hot water will find these a considerably upmarket and modernized version of the old Herb-Ox standby. Once you get past the "weak soup" feeling, the flavors are light and bright. The Tomato Mint soup in particular functioned well as a drink.These do make wonderful poaching liquids for soups. I just got finished with an egg-noodle soup made with the Spinach Chive tea and thought it was delicious. I boiled the teabag in the water for 10 minutes, then stirred in the noodles to cook. I couldn't taste much of spinach or chives, but the broth was quite good at any rate. It's a pity they have actual tea leaves in them, or I'd have just ripped the bags open to use as seasoning for the food. I loved the complexity of flavor they produced when boiled that way and used as part of a meal. It's an off-label use, but one I recommend wholeheartedly.I can't see myself buying these except for cooking purposes--which may well happen as I did like the broth made from them--but dieters may well find them useful as actual tea to drink. I would recommend that anybody using these boil the bags rather than steep them to get the full flavor from them.

looking noodles are light and tasty
question: What is the noodle?, context: I like Dr. McDougall's Vegan Pad Thai. The low fat and manageable sodium content makes this a healthy offering. The Asian-inspired spices, lime and opaque-looking noodles are light and tasty, but this just does not taste like the peanut-based, spicy Chicken or Seafood Pad Thai I am accustomed to eating. I just dice a little chicken and add a little red pepper sauce to make a more substantial soup.

it has a distinct taste with the tartness of rasberry adding a new flavor

was expecting a chocolate coated hard caramel
question: Where is the fabric of chocolate?, context: Having eaten Werther's Caramels in the past, I was expecting a chocolate coated hard caramel that sticks to you teeth if you even think of chewing. Instead, I discovered a foil wrapped, oval shaped chocolate with thin swirls of caramel running through it. The chocolate is smooth and creamy - not waxy like some chocolates. I noticed it has a very low melting point when I held one in my hand briefly and found it quite soft. The caramel in the chocolate is subtle; no stickiness, just flavor.If you're concerned with calories or too much sugar, remember this is a candy to indulge your sweet tooth or chocolate craving so there's nothing healthy here. 6 pieces equate to one serving for 230 calories. Normally I avoid foods with such a high calorie count for something so small, but I ate two more candies after my first taste because they tasted so good. Like I said, rich and creamy.

My family still prefers the classicCalpico Concentrated Drink Mix, 16.9-Ouncewhich tastes much better as a casual beverage.

I always want to have a cup of tea and this tea is delicious
question: How is it cup?, context: I always want to have a cup of tea and this tea is delicious. I have tried a few different kinds of black tea for my keurig, but this has been the best by far. Very flavorful and robust. Wakes me up in the morning and is a nice change from coffee. YaY Lipton.

coffee taste with very mild hint of vanilla flavoring
question: How is the taste?, context: Mmmmmm....coffee.....love it! Ok, I'm not a coffee master/aficionado/snob, but I know how I like my coffee: strong with cream and sugar. Please take that into account, as your preferences may differ. As with any coffee one is not familiar with, it takes some experimentation to figure out how to make it "just right." That's my experience anyhow. So, I usually brew it up a couple different ways to see how it will come out and adjust from there.First, I followed the instructions on the package and made a pot in a drip coffee maker. This produced a strong coffee, but it was nasty! The taste was like someone had dropped in an excessive amount of vanilla extract or sugar free vanilla flavoring. Kind of like getting a vanilla latte in a tourist trap area. The next pot, I backed off by reducing the grounds by two scoops and left the amount of water the same. This produced a weaker but still good coffee taste with very mild hint of vanilla flavoring. *Much better* in my opinion, and very palatable. For the third pot, I went for iced coffee, cold brewing in a French press, using the original instructions. The product was very smooth and tasty. Letting it sit in the fridge overnight after brewing enhanced the flavor. Finally, I hot brewed it in the French press, again using the original mix ratio from the package. Sadly, the taste again not so good, though not as bad as the first pot.In the end, I did find two brewing methods that I liked. While I would have preferred a stronger vanilla flavor, I wasn't able to get it out of this product before I finished the package. Perhaps some more experimenting is in order, but, for now I will stick with another brand that I already enjoy.

They aren't sweet at all, so don't expect anything like the average herbal tea, or even anything strong like a black tea.Instead, these six different flavors are mild and savory, almost like a light broth
question: How was it to taste?, context: This is not your average tea experience, that's for sure! I didn't have high hopes after a disappointing experience with another Numi tea recently, but these are surprisingly good. They aren't sweet at all, so don't expect anything like the average herbal tea, or even anything strong like a black tea.Instead, these six different flavors are mild and savory, almost like a light broth. In fact I bet you could brew a few cups and use that as a soup stock. There aren't any bad flavors in the mix, although some are more intriguing than others. The "Tomato Mint" really didn't have much of a mint flavor at all, so I picked a mint leaf from my herb garden and tossed it in to spice it up, but otherwise they all clearly taste like they should.These non-traditional teas may take some getting used to, and people who don't like savory flavors where they would normally be sweet likely will hate this, but it definitely worked for me. Give it a shot and it may just be your odd new favorite.

The popcorn is really tasty
question: How do you like popcorn?, context: The popcorn is really tasty and not too salty for my taste--just the right amount of butter and salt actually. The packaging however was not great. Although the concept of the pop-up microwave bowl is a good one and means there is no bowl to wash afterwards it was a total pain to open without ripping it and spilling the popcorn everywhere. A ripped bowl then does no good to contain the popcorn! At first I thought it was just me, but no my husband had the same trouble with the next package. As long as you are incredibly careful and yet are firm enough to rip the bowl open then you'll be fine, but I don't recommend it for those with arthritic hands or for kids who will rip it and spill it everywhere!

The sauce is nice and thick and has a pretty good flavor
question: How is sauce?, context: The instructions on the back of this packet are very simple: cut 1 lb of chicken breast into strips, pan fry it with 1 Tbsp of oil, then mix in the sauce, bring to a boil, and cover and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. They suggest serving it over pasta, and show it on a bed of vermicelli on the packet, but rice made more sense to me with an Asian-inspired sauce, so I made rice to go with it.The sauce is nice and thick and has a pretty good flavor, though it's not as...robust, I guess, as I might like it to be. I think salting the chicken before cooking would have helped a little. Cooking in sesame oil instead of regular olive oil might have helped too (since I was reviewing for Vine I wanted to stick to the basics). My roommate liked it well enough to all but lick the pan clean after I'd portioned the food out, but his is not the most discriminating palate. 40 calories for the sauce for 1 of 4 servings, plus roughly 125 for 1/4 lb of chicken (precooked weight) and 30 for 1/4 Tbsp oil, and then any starch and/or vegetable you might serve with it, is a very reasonable portion size.Even though it's not amazingly fancy or super-flavorful, this is a great option for an easy, interesting sauce for a quick weeknight dinner, and I'll probably look for this (and other flavors) in my supermarket for that purpose.

the family members were enthusiastic about these snacks, we won't be purchasing these, and will not recommend to others
question: What about snack?, context: These popcorn tasted too sweet, even though the nutrition facts didn't show large amount of sugar or calories.I have enjoyed caramel popcorn (that come in large tin boxes during holidays) in the past, but unfortunately I didn't like these. Even our candy-loving child declared these are too sweet and it is hard to consume one whole packet. (May be that is a good thing.)None of the family members were enthusiastic about these snacks, we won't be purchasing these, and will not recommend to others.

The pure nut and fruit flavor is very light
question: What do you think about the taste?, context: This is one of the most satisfying energy/snack bars that I have come across. The pure nut and fruit flavor is very light and does not make you feel like you are eating processed food at all. Unlike many other sports bars, there is also no discernable aftertaste, nor does this bar leave you feeling bloated or otherwise uncomfortable. This is probably one of the healthiest on-the-go snacks or meal replacements that you'll find.

If you want some caffeine boost, this may have more that most sodas
question: How is the expectation?, context: Jamba All Natural Energy Drink is being sold as a healthier alternative to other caffeinated sodas and "energy" drinks. It does have fewer calories. The Jamba drink contains 90 Calories, which is less than the 110 found in Red Bull. The equivalent quantity (8.4 oz) of most non-diet sodas contains about 105 calories. Obviously it has a lot more calories than a diet soda, but it also does not contain artificial sweeteners that some consider unhealthy.The Jamba ingredients described as "natural" but it does have added flavorings and sweeteners.I like most Jamba products but this one has a watery flavor. I would describe it as carbonated water with a fruity flavor.Energy drinks are just another way to say caffeinated drinks. This has about 80 mg of caffeine. That is about the same as a can of the popular Red Bull drinks. The same volumes of most sodas have about 25-35mg depending on the brand. A cup of coffee has about 100 - 175 mg of caffeine, depending on the coffee and how it's brewed. If you want some caffeine boost, this may have more that most sodas, but it has far fewer that a typical cup of coffee.If you are looking for a reasonably healthily quick caffeine boost, without a lot of flavor, that you can slam down, this may be the drink for you. If you are looking for something a little more flavorful, look elsewhere.

Jamba All Natural Energy Drink is being sold as a healthier alternative to other caffeinated sodas and "energy" drinks. It does have fewer calories. The Jamba drink contains 90 Calories, which is less than the 110 found in Red Bull. The equivalent quantity (8.4 oz) of most non-diet sodas contains about 105 calories. Obviously it has a lot more calories than a diet soda, but it also does not contain artificial sweeteners that some consider unhealthy.The Jamba ingredients described as "natural" but it does have added flavorings and sweeteners.I like most Jamba products but this one has a watery flavor. I would describe it as carbonated water with a fruity flavor.Energy drinks are just another way to say caffeinated drinks. This has about 80 mg of caffeine. That is about the same as a can of the popular Red Bull drinks. The same volumes of most sodas have about 25-35mg depending on the brand. A cup of coffee has about 100 - 175 mg of caffeine, depending on the coffee and how it's brewed. <hl> If you want some caffeine boost, this may have more that most sodas <hl>, but it has far fewer that a typical cup of coffee.If you are looking for a reasonably healthily quick caffeine boost, without a lot of flavor, that you can slam down, this may be the drink for you.

When I think of Graham Crackers
question: What is your take on the crackers we ate in the event?, context: When I think of Graham Crackers, I automatically go to those cinnamon and sugar dusted ones that I loved from my childhood. My children, however, think teddy bear shapes with chocolate chips or spongebob with frosting. This has to stop somewhere, right?I was hoping these would do the trick and they certainly came through for me. One box includes 3 wax paper wrapped packages. The crackers are crispy but not too crumbly. The size is good for tossing 3 large crackers into a bag for a school snack or adding Nutella in between layers to create a great after school snack. The apple and cinnamon taste is more like an afterthought, not peaking until the crackers has been chewed.I rather like the plain better, but these were good and my children and husband couldn't get enough. I will even admit to crumbling some on top of ice cream for all 3.

fiber bars have a deep chocolate
question: Can you tell me about the taste?, context: Delicious!I have tried so many granola bars, protein bars, breakfast bars and snack bars, that I was ready for these bars to have the same problems: too sweet, fake flavor or weird aftertaste. But I was pleasantly surprised! These fiber bars have a deep chocolate/coffee flavor, they are not overly sweet and have absolutely no strange aftertaste. They have a nice texture, combining some crisp rice crunch with creamy smooth filling. I would eat these bars instead of candy bars, because they taste much better and provide 9 grams of fiber. They also contain no high fructose corn syrup and they are a more tasty alternative to Metamucil wafers, which often taste like flavored sawdust.Each bar is only 120 calories and is very low in fat, but you should be aware of the carbohydrate count, which is 25 grams. However, if you count net carbs, then that number is reduced by 12 grams, to a very reasonable 13 grams per bar. I would definitely buy this product.

Garden Greens
question: How is the amount?, context: We just used our first pack of this food (Pear and Garden Greens flavor) today at a lakeside picnic. Our son, who is seven months old, was launching himself towards the container and trying to grab it. So I think it's safe to say he found it palatable (I tried a bit and it was pretty decent - not very bland, and a good strong pear flavor). We liked that it contains pear, broccoli, and spinach, since it's been kind of hard o get broccoli into the kid thus far. I will say the recommended serving size on the package is small - he probably would have eaten twice what was contained in the package, not half.Anyway, this brand will definitely remain on our list of portable options. It was a hit.

I wouldn't mind if calories were lower
question: What about the calorie?, context: I'm not an expert on fruit and nut bars or energy bars, but I have eaten a fair number of them over time. With that preface, I like this bar. It has a nice consistency, chewy with plenty of nuts. It has a smooth blueberry flavor surrounding the various nut flavors. The texture is pleasing. I thought it was particularly good with coffee.I also thought the ingredients and nutritional data listed on the wrapper looked appealing. Essentially every ingredient is labeled organic and the fat types are, I believe, "better" fats. I wouldn't mind if calories were lower, but I don't think they're out of line for this type product.

Nice product but a bit pricey
question: How is the level like?, context: Truly stays crunchy in milk. Very tasty with just enough brown sugar without becoming too sweet. It has strawberries, raspberries and blackberries but the blackberries are hard to find in the box.. The dried fruit is tangy and tasty, especially without milk. Nice product but a bit pricey.

the pasta itself came out that well
question: How are pasta is firm?, context: This meal is very easy and quick to make. The only issue here is that it was a little difficult to get the cover off when done - the product was hot and the cover on there pretty good.It was amazing that the pasta itself came out that well in a microwave - I tried a little before adding the sauce to it.The sauce was a bit too heavy in tomato for my taste; I would have liked it meatier. My wife tried it and thought it was just right.I would give it three stars, and my wife would give it five stars, so we averaged out at four.The price on amazon works out to be about $3.50 each which seems reasonable.

but this one was better
question: What do you think about the taste?, context: I usually have very low expectations for these kind of canned coffee, but this one was better than I thought. It has a sweet coffee taste, reminding of real espresso. However, it felt more like americano than espresso (meaning it is more diluted with water than necessary). It still packs enough caffeine, and if you do not want to go the "5 hour energy" route in urgent needs (like driving early in the morning), it would be a good alternative.I would recommend it cold, so keeping in the car might not be an option. Nevertheless, it's good enough for the product category (canned coffee).

texture is very odd
question: How is the texture?, context: These cookies were not bad, but they weren't really good either. I was happy to find that they are very soft. I prefer soft cookies. The chocolate taste does come through. However, the cookies are also a little gritty or sandy; the texture is very odd. Also there is something in them that tastes a little off. I've definitely had much better cookies like Soft Batch and Mrs. Fields. For the price, they're not bad, but there are much better cookies out there.

but the texture of the flakes have the same rigidity and CRUNCH of the original
question: How is the crunch?, context: Before this, I had never eaten (and purposely veered away from) cereal with dried fruits in them. This stuff has changed my mind. With strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries mixed in, they provide an excellent burst of flavor.But they are by no means the only flavor: just the flakes have a honey-and-vanilla flavor to them, so even eating those alone (how I started eating it) was still very tasty.Word of warning, however: make sure your teeth can handle this stuff. The flavor is absolutely delicious, but the texture of the flakes have the same rigidity and CRUNCH of the original "Grape Nuts." (Of course, "Grape Nuts" had no flavor except whatever cardboard flavor they managed to leech from the box they were in, but that's another story.)Basically, if somebody is talking to you while you're enjoying a mouthful of this cereal, you won't be able to hear them over the crunching - but you won't care much, because you'll be savoring the flavor and not paying attention to them anyway.

Word of warning, however: make sure your teeth can handle this stuff. <hl> The flavor is absolutely delicious, but the texture of the flakes have the same rigidity and CRUNCH of the original "Grape Nuts." <hl> (Of course, "Grape Nuts" had no flavor except whatever cardboard flavor they managed to leech from the box they were in, but that's another story.)Basically, if somebody is talking to you while you're enjoying a mouthful of this cereal, you won't be able to hear them over the crunching - but you won't care much, because you'll be savoring the flavor and not paying attention to them anyway.

and the crackers are nice and crunchy
question: Are these crackers larger and thick?, context: These cracker sandwiches taste like a stone-ground wheat cracker with Cheese Whiz in the center. The filling is a reasonable amount, and the crackers are nice and crunchy. They are a very tasty snack, but not necessarily a more healthy one. They are advertised as being an excellent source of fiber, and while they do have 5 grams, they also have a lot of calories - 130 for ONE crackerful. That's a little high considering bagel thins are about a hundred calories each, and more substantial.One cracker is a serving, and they are individually wrapped in the package for easy portability. They are a bit expensive compared to other cracker snacks, but that is pretty common for anything touted as being more healthy. However, for someone who loves snack crackers, or for teens involved in athletics, these could be a nice option if you can get them at a reduced price. Overall, a tasty albeit expensive snack cracker; I would eat them again, but I'm not sure I would buy them.

This bar contains only 2g of protein, but a nice 9g of fiber to make up for it as well as low sodium
question: Where is the bar?, context: This chewy bar is full of flavor that will please fans who love chocolate-flavored coffee. I've had many health bars and this one is smaller than some that have the same amount of calories. It may taste like a candy bar to some people, but not to me.I like other products that have the same amount of fiber and higher protein than this one plus I like the taste better. This bar contains only 2g of protein, but a nice 9g of fiber to make up for it as well as low sodium (125mg is low compared to other packaged food). Sometimes you just can get all the numbers you want in a bar (low carb, low sugar, high fiber and high protein AND taste good).If these numbers work for you and you love the taste of chocolate coffee, this will make you a happy camper. Though I drink one cup of coffee a day, I'm passing on these and sticking with my other breakfast and health bars.
