TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you're given a review from Amazon's food products. Your task is to generate a rating for the product on a scale of 1-5 based on the review. The rating means 1: extremely poor, 2: poor, 3: neutral or mixed, 4: good, 5: extremely good.
PROBLEM: Fortunately, before I purchased I read through enough reviews of these k-cups to discover that they add some artificial sweetener to them along with sugar. I'm shocked that the item descriptions don't make this clear. I consider that important information! I decided to give them a try, anyway, considering some reviewers thought it was hard to tell. I realize that many products do this recently, but they usually fall short of hiding that nasty aftertaste. Sadly, this one does too. It's close - I can almost enjoy a cup - but it's still unmistakable, especially if you don't consume much artificial sweetener. (I chew sugar-free gum, and that's it for me.) It's a shame, too, because the chocolate flavor is nice. In fact, I rated these a 3 simply because my son tolerates the sweetener enough to drink them. And I was really jazzed about the caramel cappuccino before I found out about the sweetener...but now I won't be buying any. (Side note: many cappuccino reviewers complained that they're instant coffees that taste like gas station cappuccino - that would be fine with me, if it weren't for the artificial sweetener which those gas station cappuccinos don't have.) If they begin to offer a line without the artificial sweetener, I'd buy it, but until then I'm staying away from Grove Square products.

PROBLEM: I would love to say that I have the time to make my son's food everyday. Its not the case. Honestly, I do make it most of the time, but some days, you just don't have the time/energy to get it all done. Enter this product. Before I bought this baby food, I read the reviews and all these people were saying that it has fruit in it, its like a dessert, yadda yadda yadda. The truth is, is that yes, it has a bit of fruit in it, but its not sweet at all. The fruit merely brings out the flavors naturally so that you don't have to add anything else. Its a great product to enter proteins into baby's diet. The consistency is smooth enough that if you wanted to add cereal to it also, baby will not choke on it. I highly recommend.

PROBLEM: This is a quick & easy way to make green tea. It isn't sweet & only has the barest hint of blueberry, but it makes it easy when pressed for time in the morning. It does have more green tint to it than most teas- here's why: "Sencha green tea comes from the Kyoto region of Japan. It is made from small leaves and has a more refined taste than others forms of green tea. Additionally, the color of the tea is actually green, not yellow, like many Chinese varieties." Powdered tea is also good for cooking as well.
