Ugh, I just saw a review for the new peeps oreos and apparently the filling tastes less like peeps and more like birthday cake frosting. So now I have to freakin' buy them!

Great thanks for posting that ! Now I'll have to buy a package too since it's supposed to taste like frosting .

Misery loves company. And this thread has cost me A LOT of misery.

Tried their cinnamon powder and was so impressed I splurged on samples of the fruity pebbles. Again, tastes just like the cereal I can't believe this brand isn't more popular! 5/5 although my personal preference is the cinnamon since I can slightly taste an aftertaste of what I think is food coloring with the fruity flavor, but I'm very impressed regardless!


P.S. I found one last pint of the caramel oatmeal Enlightened ice cream at Shoprite today (went to a different location) and also noticed more Halo Top flavors so I could give the Red Velvet one more chance with some ovaltine!

Tempted to order samples of these now! I'm skeptical about protein powders because they usual taste chemically....do these have a fake taste to them?

I hate that chemical taste too I know exactly what you're talking about! I found Quest's cinnamon cereal flavor to have that weird taste to them, but not these. The fruity cereal flavor did kind of have this chemical aftertaste (again, probably the food dye used in this one) but it wasn't as offensive as other brands and wasn't from an artificial sweetener.
I wish I could say I had a coupon code for shipping, but I didn't (one of the reasons I waited so long before finally placing an order for these samples). I wrote to the company, however, and if you order a six pack (which will save you $1) then you can add in the notes that you want 3 of each and they'll do this for you. Actually, they forgot to do this to me even though I wrote it in the order, so I emailed them and they apologized and mailed me six more of the missing ones so I got 12 for the price of 6!
They're really expensive for the tubs on their website but if you go to Amazon it's more reasonable. Unfortunately, Amazon does not sell these sample packets which is why I splurged; I'm never buying an entire tub of protein powder before trying it first again. I have way too many gross protein tubs from not having samples available first. I'm definitely getting a tub of the cinnamon flavor in this, but while I really enjoyed the fruity cereal flavor and will have no problem using the rest of these I don't think I'll be ordering more.

I just tried the Builder's Protein Chocolate Mint. UGH. Needed a late afternoon pick-me up and could only eat half of it. Really weird taste. I won't be buying another one!

So I tried the Ovaltine in Halo Top like someone suggested. It did make it A LOT better but at the same time my ice cream addiction is already pretty unhealthy so this doesn't help ;p
I tried it in the Red Velvet. They switched to gold lids, but do you guys know if they also changed recipes? I swear the pint of Red Velvet I had before didn't have this many or this big of chocolate chunks in it, this almost feels like cake (almost). It's definitely not chocolate chips... they're soft! Still, it's not very sweet on its own and while this helps, I still needed that cream cheese swirl.


Also tried the mint cookie Hershey's layer bar after being back and forth as to whether I want to introduce that to my taste buds. Dang. I wish I hadn't. I love it.

@hgycta we stopped in a specialty candy store in the mall today to get a treat for my 3 and 4 year old (uhhhh the baby was miffed lol) and I thought about you! They had the DD Vanilla Latte Pop Tarts you reviewed- for $16.99 lol

Where?

Lol, it's a 1.88 at Krogers, 1.48 with a coupon on Kelloggs website.

We are in Canada so we don't get a lot of the same things you do stateside. We have pop tarts at the store (3.99 though) but no specialty flavors usually. I saw them at a store at West Ed called B Sweet that imports US/UK treats

CARROT CAKE KISSES

They're soft in the middle. Very sweet. Distinctly carrot cakey though.

They are actually brownie pieces. Which is why this flavor is one of my favorites. My pints have always had them.

Probably not new but they were on sale...



Did not like the last cones I bought (Good Humor) but these are delicious. I hope my daughter gobbles them up soon or bad things might happen.


Thanks for the reminder for the sample of the granola cup! I never actually read my Betty Crocker emails and was wondering why I never get emails about samples. Sigh. That being said, I typically never get the samples I sign up for either, so...

That's weird you don't get the samples. I'll have to see what happens; usually I request samples from Pillsbury too and I always get those, this is my first time with Betty Crocker :x

Tablespoon sends samples in emails too... I got a lemon herb box of Good Table: Freezer to Plate, but still haven't gotten the Larabar.

Actually, the Clean Whey Bar from Pure Protein still hasn't shown up either. I'm hoping it's just me not having a good sense of time.

I never got the Noosa coupon.

I never get anything from Pillsbury's either. I think Tablespoon falls under General Mill.
