The diet coke zesty blood orange tastes like alka seltzer.....I couldn't drink the can. The mango is bettered but pretty sweet1

Any Chicagoans been able to find the Nutter Butter cereal? I've checked Marianos, Jewel, Walgreens, Target but no luck!
I am also still searching for the Magnum Pint ice creams.0 -

I tried the cherry-flavored one, hoping for the taste of nostalgia when I lived off of Diet Cherry Coke in college. It was...kind of the same?...but then there was this weird chemical-burning taste at the back. I couldn't finish it.

Yeah that's kinda what I got with the orange. The mango may have masked it because it was so sweet. I think I'll stick to the regular flavors1 -
Tried this last night for dinner and it was tasty. Great flavor and spice to it. I wish there was more chicken and more tortilla chips, but overall it's a 9/10.

Aha. I didn't even think to look there. I typically avoid Walmart like the plague, but this will be worth the trip.3 -
I tried this the other day. It was really yummy! Almost like a minty chai tea. Perfect for cold weather. I just wish that they were less pricey.

I was in the Vitamin Shoppe the other day and noticed this. I’ve seen MyCookie before, but never a red velvet flavor and I have a weakness for red velvet so I got it.
I typically favor texture over flavor when it comes down to it so I really liked these. They had more of a brownie feel to them and when microwaved I loved how gooey the cream cheese chips were but even at room temperature it was so dense yet incredibly smooth!
As for taste, they could have done better. The red velvet was executed pretty well but the cookie itself has that protein taste and then something else I’m not crazy about (might be maltitol or Splenda). Wish they would’ve used erythritol or monk fruit, but not everyone likes those.
I wouldn’t get again simply because the taste needs to be improved, but it was very enjoyable and I loved the texture of it!!!! Probably the first bakery protein treat I’ve tried for breakfast that does NOT taste well dipped in coffee, however...

I love Indian food (actually I love many ethnic foods). Spooned over 1/2 cup of short grain brown rice it came to about 300 calories.
The Instant Pot is amazing. If it did nothing more than hard cook eggs that were effortless to peel, I'd have one in my kitchen...but it does more. So much more.0 -

It looks super good though!2 -
I'm a little behind, as usual, but I finished the pint of Halo Top Caramel Macchiatto (soooooo perfect for this non coffee drinker) and whipped out the Rainbow Swirl flavor. I bought two pints assuming I would love it like all the other flavors I've tried (hell, I even got used to the pancakes and waffles flavor!) but there was this very off taste to it and both pints ended up in the trash. It almost tasted medicinal. I was pretty darned sad.4

That's funny. Caramel Macchiato may be my #1 favorite, and Pancakes and Waffles ended up in the trash. :laugh:1 -

That's a shame you didn't like the rainbow swirl flavor! However, I think it's funny you bring that up about the pancakes and waffles flavor as yesterday I was at Shoprite and decided to buy it again even though I remember hating it at first (they were out of Green Tea Mochi, my second favorite behind caramel macchiato so I didn't want to leave completely empty-handed), but I had it last night and found myself actually impressed this time around! I can taste the stevia which I originally didn't like and thought was strong, but I can taste more of the maple syrup flavor now. It's weird how your taste buds can grow to like different flavors you previously hated (this has happened with several pints so far)! Still, the caramel macchiato remains my ultimate favorite

I sampled a ton of these in all flavors before as well as the brownies and blondes and thought they were pretty good.2 -

Looking forward most to the idea they stole from me the Firework Oreos
I bet that flavor will end up tasting like crap.
LOL that was def your idea. You posted here way before they ever announced it. I have been eating more of the peeps oreos and they are growing on me. I mean I don't think I've ever had an oreo I didn't like.
Finally got around to trying a few of the myprotein things....
0/10, did not even finish. Was nothing like a blondie in the least bit. Had a terrible bland taste to it and was extremely dense and just not very good at all. Almost had a play dough like taste in the worst possible way... The white chocolate chips could not even salvage the flavor and I could not taste them at all.
8/10, very good. I loved the apple pie bars and they tasted EXTREMELY similar to quest. I may even like them better than the apple pie quest bars. I like how their bars are a tad bit bigger for the same calorie amount.
Oh wait I guess I didn't like the blondie LOL. I remember loving the bars they all tasted pretty similar to quest old formula.4 -

This is what made me quit Halo Top. Way too many pints taste that way to me. Go figure.3 -

I agree. The best dairy free ice cream I've had was B&J pints and so delicious cashew milk. I'd like to see a low calorie one without that nasty pea protein.3 -

I still don't like Halo Top either,I want to but meh

These were the last flavor I had yet to try. Probably my least favorite but still extremely delicious! The only thing that bothers me is I can’t tell if it has erythritol giving it a slightly weird taste or if it has some sort of ginger spice in it... tastes more like a ginger snap than snickerdoodle in my opinion. Still, I’d buy it again!
Once I get through my huge stash of protein treats I definitely want to try these!
My favorite protein cookie at the moment is still the Muscletech Birthday Cake cookie.1 -

I'm pretty much over buying Halo Top a lot, but I do have to say I loved the Caramel Macchiato flavor & if a more local store would carry it I would buy that flavor on occasion.
The only flavors I will still buy from time to time is Birthday Cake, Peanut Butter Cup, & Chocolate Almond Crunch. I did buy the Gingerbread flavor at Giant on Sunday (they had a ton of that flavor left).1 -

Don't waste your money on the Talenti pints!
I tried the Vanilla Cinnamon & it has to be one of the worst low calorie ice creams/gelatos I have ate, but not as bad as Arctic Zero.
The base was beyond boring with hardly any flavoring & the cinnamon flavor was not as abundant as I would've wanted. Giant had the pints on sale for $3.50-$3.99 for all of the Talenti flavors.2 -

Wow, that's horrible! How many calories were in this pint? What was the texture like? It's a shame Talenti didn't deliver more, I had very high expectations for them! Who knows, maybe Arctic Zero will surprise all of us with their new line coming out.0 -
I love Talenti, but I have only tried the Roman Rasberry. I was shocked at how flavorful it was. I usually have it with a cup of mixed berries.
