They are a disgusting, gummy calorie bomb.
I rarely spit out food, but this was too gross.
Oooo not the cinnamon spice but I really like the chocolate peanut butter. But I stick to the kids version which is like 130 calories.
The pumpkin flavored ones were good. The rest were meh0 -
Another vote for Halo Top! Really, anything with artificial sweeteners is just bad2

I kind of liked the vegetarian frozen pizza from lidl uk, and it kind of fitting in my calories. Here in NL I find nothing like that. Only vegetarian pizza has mushrooms and/or no dough base and far too many cals. Like every frozen pizza here! I could possibly eat 3/5 of one for calories but still be hungry1

False.

I'm in your camp. I had to finally throw the package away after a year of it sitting in my cupboard. I'm not a big fan of seafood, so that could be one reason I don't like nori.2 -
Kirkland protein bars. I kept trying and just could not do it. Vega protein powder, probably one of the worst things I've had, just the thought makes me sick.1

What?? Chocolate chip cookie dough flavor is my favorite of theirs! So good in my opinion. It is even better if you put it in the microwave for about 20 seconds to soften them up.0 -

I prefer Quest. The tapioca fiber is off-putting2 -
When I was doing Keto I tired this.
YUCK
Other disappointments- dr otker pizzas, pb2 (except when added to greek yogurt), lowfat/sugar free sauces/jams/syrups, lowfat/sugar free greek yogurt. Halo top.

Did I already say? Frozen lobster. You can't find it any good. Not sure why. At $29/lb. it should be great but never is.2

Same with crab.1 -

That's funny, I was bummed because I wanted one flavor from each case and bought the cookies and cream and brownie combo on vacation. I was the opposite, disappointed in brownie but liked cookies and cream.0 -
these. ^^^ LOVE mint chocolate anything... but this tasted like toothpaste and texture was terrible.2 -
Veggie straws.
My parents and my sister were telling me how GOOD they are...luckily, I tried them at my sister's house before buying a bag. They taste like styrofoam packing peanuts.4 -

I bought then hoping they would be like Quest, and believe me I tried everything I think I added peanut butter on top and still couldn't do it. But to be honest ever since Quest changed their formula a few years back it's just never been the same.1 -
I second the veggie straws. I too heard how great they were. Tried them at my sil house..underwhelmed and glad I never bought..I truly hate to waste food/money..0

Trader Joe's flavored hot chocolates. The salted caramel one was disappointing0
-
Quest Bars. They taste so disgusting! And I’m someone who eats like every protein bar on the market. I’m not touching those suckers ever again.1

Their packaging is nice and I feel duped when I get it and it tastes like...sadness.

I didn't really care for the one Smashburger I tried.
With you, Smashburger sucks! Not cheap either😒 hate Halo Top,avacodos,those dumb Built Bars who keep sending me emails cuz I bought a box months ago, Quest bars suck(except the Hero ones but not sure if they're still around) the Keto diet sucks,most protein powder sucks,wow I could go on and on🤣
I actually just bought another box of Built Bars and they’re good to have after a workout. I like the coconut almond and peanut butter brownie. But good LORD do they hammer you with emails!1 -
Built bars. Every YouTuber I watched loved them & kept seeing ads everywhere I decided to splurge for sample pack. They so gross.2
-
I just can't do these anymore. I used to like protein powder but I don't anymore. I have canisters of them sitting on my shelf waiting for an emergency event and even though I've found myself in one, I just can't bring myself to drink them. Something has turned over in me. I'd rather eat a can of cold vegetables than drink these.

I like a few of the flavors but they either need to be from the fridge or microwave for me to eat them. They have such an undesirable texture to me when they are room temp. I shouldn’t have to work that hard to chew a protein bar. Same issue for me with RXbars.0 -
