    I had moonshine in South Carolina a few weeks ago, that honest to god tasted like apple pie. Not similar, but spot on. Got myself into a mess of trouble. O.o

    That stuff is WICKED. And yes it DOES taste like apple pie. :D

    I do eat as healthy as I can most of the time, and I do love veggies so that is a good thing, but I just think that people and companies that try and push things that are not even close to being as good as the real thing need to just flat out stop lying about it. :) I know there are things that you can do to make super yummy fatty things into almost as yummy healthier versions. I have just been bombarded lately with the Body By Vi stuff and then on here there are people pushing protein bars that taste like candy bars. In fact I have tried the Snickers Marathon bars a long time ago, and I did not like them AT ALL! There are definitely some companies that can get it wrong! Like what was said about Yoplait earlier.

    Personally I love desserts and do what I can to eat what I want and I think JELLO Temptations has done the best just making super small pie like snacks. :) I love the Key Lime one. Still not the real thing, but it is yummy and will satisfy a craving!

    The only thing that tastes like pie is pie. On the other hand, Atkins makes a chocolate caramel nut roll that is as close to a Baby Ruth as you can get.

    Skinny cow ice cream tastes EXACTLY like ice cream. :(

    Edit: If I closed my eyes and had to compare, I wouldn't be able to tell.

    With all the icky stuff they put in that Yoplait ....you are better off having a real piece of pie! Life is too short, eat the pie and go for a bike ride :0) Yogurt is so good for you but alot of people dont like it, I get that. But if you have yogurt,definitely go for the Chobani,or Liberte' brands. Stonyfield farms has some yummy ones too...no artificial icky stuff. And the ricotta cheese with splenda and chocolate cocoa is NOT like chocolate mousse lol! Splenda is not that great for you either....

    Having grown up in South Carolina, I have to add that enough moonshine can result in one believing they can taste/see/hear/feel/accomplish just about anything.

    On that note, the Pure Protein Revolution Peanut Caramel Bars DO.NOT.TASTE.LIKE.A.SNICKERS. I do enjoy my pure protein stuff, but don't sell it as something it isn't.

    Rant over.

    WOW. PMS much?

    No one is trying to push anything on you. Just because it tastes like something to them (but does not to you) does not mean they are trying to peddle that product. Did it ever occur to you that maybe it was just the best way to describe something to someone else that can be used as a point of reference?

    I like the "flavor" of strawberries. If I tasted something that tastes "like" strawberries, I wouldn't tell someone it tastes like chocolate, it wouldn't be a close COMPARISON, would it?

    Of course that yogurt isn't apple pie! Apple pie is apple pie. The yogurt just has the (artificial) flavor of apple pie.

    Wellll, it doesn't taste like regular bacon, but Butterball Turkey Bacon is pretty good when crispy. Enough that I don't mind it as a substitute for real bacon for the most part. I have had turkey bacon though that tastes like dog treats (or what I suppose they taste like). *shrug*

    I hate yogurt, but I have always attempted to try the ones that are "like pie"! lol And I have never liked them because as you said, it still tastes like yogurt! lol

    How can it taste like pie if there is not crust in there?! :huh:

    i think this way about mayonnaise. reduced fat/no fat mayo doesnt taste anything like real mayo. just because it looks the same and kinda smells the same doesnt mean it tastes the same.

    my mom used to try this on me with liver. putting it on a hamburger bun and throwing a piece of cheese on it did not fool my tastes buds into recognizing it as anything less than liver.

    Wendy's Frosty Protein Shake:
    6 ounces fat free milk
    2 ounces sugar free chocolate syrup (not Hershey's syrup.. it's the syrup you find in the coffee isle. My brand is Torani)

    2 scoops of the Chocolate Milkshake protein powder from Premier Nutrition (I buy mine at Sam's club. Tastes way better than regular old chocolate protein powder!!)

    LOTS of ice= at least 8 cubes.

    Pulse all ingredients until right consistancy.

    nomnomnom. I usually use almond milk so I hope that would work as well!

    Yes, because every woman who has a strong opinion/gets angry/is not positive all the time is on her period. What a sexist, misogynistic concept.

    I love Jello No-Bake cheesecake, but once you mix the crust with butter and the filling with milk, it can get unhealthy in a hurry, and the Jello Temptations raspberry cheesecake are a pretty good alternative. They're not huge servings but only 120(?) calories each. They're good enough that I won't go out and buy a no-bake instead. And Publix makes a light tiramisu ice cream that tastes a lot like some caramel frozen Starbucks drink that I can't remember the name of, and only 140 calories per half cup. You can find yummy substitutes, but they will never be perfect.

    Most of the time, nothing "tastes just like" anything else to me. Eventually I learn to prefer the healthier version though.

    Nothing... but nothing tastes like a Snickers... except a Snickers. To say otherwise.... well, it's just wwrong!

    That said, I still don't understand my own logic, in my life before MFP. I mean really - why was it always Snickers and a Diet Dr. Pepper? Like the aspartame in the soda pop was going to offset the sugar in the candy? Sometimes I do the most illogical stuff!
