Soooo I finally tried the blueberry pancake crunch cereal.
First off, the serving size of 32g is A LOT! Cereal is one of those things I have to portion into baggies because I'll just stick my hand in the bag and not weigh/log the handfuls that end up in my mouth and only 28g fit in the snack size baggies I use...and just barely!
Second, I couldn't really taste blueberry altho the blue crunch balls were very pretty. I mostly tasted a maple flavor from the light colored balls. They were sweet and crunchy and yummy.
Bluberry pancakes? Not so sure. Deliciousness in your mouth? Ohhhhhh yeah.

Unfortunately, I'm not impressed
They would be so much better if they had the same bite, mouth feel & flavor intensity as Cheetos. Anyone else had them?

I'd like to take the New Balance RunIQ for a test run. It's been out for a month already.1

$3.95 per bagel and then $15.65 for shipping, which I split with three other people in my family so it wasn't too bad with them wanting to try some bagels too!Strawblackcat wrote: »Tried a cotton candy bagel and then had half the rainbow bagel tonight from the Bagel Shop!
Cotton Candy Bagel - Those who have tried these bagels and cautioned me that they weren't anything special and a waste of money... I should have listened to you. Did not taste like cotton candy at all, was hardly even that sweet. As much as I wanted it to taste like cotton candy, not even my own forceful thinking could pick up. Unlike the cragels, these were tougher. These tasted like they were going stale a little, perhaps because they were in my fridge for a few days.
Rainbow Bagel - Pretty much the same thing as the Cotton Candy Bagel, except it was a little sweeter. A little. I read somewhere they taste like vanilla/cereal, but honestly it was just a slightly sweeter plain bagel. The colors are fun, but for the price you'd think they would have flavored it better.
Overall, The Bagel Shop's bagels were a 2/5 while their cragels were a 3.5-5/5, depending on the flavor. Glad I tried them as they're beautiful, but I'd never pay for them again.

Honestly I'm surprised they even ship them. Bagels get stale fast. They're probably tastier when they are fresh.
I agree, the cragels were very fresh and soft and I had them sooner so I should have done the same with the bagels but didn't really think about it and it's not healthy to sit down and eat 5+ bagels in one night xD I'm surprised they didn't ship with any care or freezing instructions
Bagels almost have to be consumed immediately. Even fresh, bagel-bakery bought bagels will go kind of stale in less than 24 hours, although at they can be toasted back to life. After that, though, the only thing they're good for is French toast and bread pudding, although they can fill both of those roles very well.9 -
@fitmom4life & @arya8 I'm in Metro Detroit and was SO lucky, I didn't lose my power. I'm so sorry you are going through that. (The comments got a little intense, I know one of you said no power for 4 days.) My parents have been staying with me in my little apartment and it's...fun.
Halo Top: I've never bought 5 pints of ice cream in my life either but I did it. I got peanut butter cup, sea salt caramel, birthday cake and red velvet. I've tried all but the red velvet before. I ate the red velvet last night and I don't know why I bought it. I just do not like red velvet flavor and keep trying it because it's so popular on this forum. Also, it was weird what happened to one of my peanut butter pints. It was all pulled away from the edges, all the way to the bottom. It wasn't very flat and "packed in" on the top. However, it had a lot of peanut butter chunks (more than I remember) so I was happy.0 -
I love these in the morning. Sodium is high but super quick when I'm running out the door and sooo good. 6 -

I haven't had the caramel ones, but I allow myself to buy ONE bag of the Cinnamon Sugar every time they come around. They're addictive, and I could easily eat the whole bag in one go if I'm not careful! The taste reminds me of cinnamon sugar toast- sweet, cinnamony, with an unexpected- and entirely delicious- buttery taste. Now I'm going to have to go out and see if I can find these today 1 -

They look so pretty though LOL. Did you toast or eat plain? I would guess they would taste boring and hard plain especially a few days old. When I buy store bought bagels or even bakery i always have to toast or they taste stale.0 -

I've had them and really loved the cinnamon sugar. But I agree they are dangerous because they are so light and airy it's easy to eat the whole bag1 -

The rainbow/cotton candy bagels I had plain since I was at my boyfriend's house who doesn't have a toaster, and the cinnamon cragel I microwaved for a little and enjoyed that one more. The spinach parmesan cragel was easily my favorite (surprisingly) but I toasted that one (to melt the cheese more) and then finished it in the microwave for about 10 seconds.
HOWEVER, I gave my father a "unicorn" bagel and he didn't care for it so he brought me home half. This bagel was even older of course since I had it last, but surprisingly it seemed more fresh than the rainbow and cotton candy bagels! I tore a small piece to try by itself and it tasted incredibly fresh, but then I toasted it and could still taste its freshness although I preferred it softer. Tasting this bagel fresh made me certainly enjoy it more, although I still hold that they're overpriced and underwhelming. Even this one was pretty bland and while it had a very slight sweetness to it if you really pay attention, like the others it kind of feels like I'm eating play-doh as something about it just tastes fake.
TMI ALERT: 1 hour after this bagel I pooped and it looked pale with green blotches that looked like mold! I always have normal colored bowel movements, except for when I eat these bagels. YUCK.

No idea how these will taste. I bought one called Salted Caramel Cupcakes. I plan on making them one morning and taking them into work. (Can't keep this kind of thing in the house!)0 -
I have had the key lime chobani, twice now. It's 200 calories, so it can be hard to fit in my day, but soo worth it. It's just like eating a slice of pie. I'm excited to try the cinnamon bun later this week!

Obsessed with Halo Top, especially cookie dough, s'mores, salted caramel, and mint chip...
Bought an Eat Me Guilt Free sample pack and was really disappointed. The cornbread was okay, but the brownie and blondie were so bad that I haven't eaten anything in there since.2 -

I'm loving the PB Cup HT. So tasty! I can hardly divide it up into 3 servings that I usually try to get out of a pint.

Well we definitely all have different tastes, LOL. I honestly LOVED the red velvet - and I'm not even a red velvet nut. The peanut butter is the best flavor to me, sea salt caramel and red velvet probably next, and the chocolate is excellent too. I am on the fence with the S'mores, though. When I tried it, the first flavor that hit me was coconut! And I don't think there is any coconut in there...I think it's the graham flavor that is just not quite right somehow. I hope you like the Birthday Cake better than I did.

Finally found another pint of Enlightened oatmeal caramel cookie crunch and it was my breakfast this morning... it was relatively filling but I just couldn't help tasting that artificial aftertaste. I'm really not sure I'll even bother trying the new flavors... it's just nowhere as satisfying as Halo Top for the calories because of it (I remember it with all the other flavors I've tried too). Although obviously it's happened with two pints of Halo Top so far too...
Do you guys really not taste it or it just doesn't matter to you? Just curious, lol. I do have that issue with light and fit yogurts too.0 -

Honestly I don't taste it whatsoever in the yogurts, and I've only tasted it once in that pint but it's much stronger in the salted caramel so it must be in the caramel sauce. You seem to be the pickiest one out of all of us so I think you must have more sensitive taste buds; at least when you do like something most of us can be pretty certain we'll love it!

Have you seen the ads for Omaha Steaks new Crockpot meals? The ad and the website say that each feeds 4. I thought of ordering and looked at the nutrition label. 310 calories, not bad, BUT is says the package has 6 servings! So you are really eating over 500 calories if you eat 1/4!0

Bought these today with $1 off coupon.Will use one for stir fry dish & the other as a bowl with added protein.Those Green Giant vegetable crumble things. I think they have frozen ones, but I used fresh. I was feeling too lazy to chop all the vegetables for dinner, so used these to make my potsticker noodle bowls. You could use them in stir fry, egg rolls, spring rolls, etc. Anywhere you need finely chopped stuff. Awesome!

I have no problem with the Light & Fit yogurts - except for one I just recently tried - it was a new 70 calorie Salted Caramel. I took one bite and gagged. Tossed it. I usually eat the greek whip ones - love them.0 -
I finally got to try Halo Top Birthday Cake icecream and Artic Zero cookie and cream shake ice cream. The Halo top ice cream tasted very artificial at the end but it still tasted like cake. Then the artic zero blew me away. It literally tasted like the frozen cookie and cream milkshakes I used to make myself during the summer. Even the constituency was the same as a frozen milkshake since it was a bit icy. I loved it but some might not if they are expecting regular cookie and cream ice cream. Also something that surprised me was that its color was brown like chocolate ice cream. Though it didn't taste like chocolate ice cream so I though that was weird.0

I'm the complete opposite.

Wait... you just implied that Arctic Zero was better than Halo Top? Well, my friend, that's a first. Did you see any of Arctic Zero's newer flavors yet?2 -

I might have to order that flavor online eventually. How much does it usually cost in store?0 -
