    McDonald's new Classic Chicken Sandwich tastes identical to their Southern Style Chicken Sandwich like I had hoped, but the signature sauce added 60 calories and didn't really do much for the sandwich. Without the sauce the calories were 450, which is 10 more than Chick-fil-A's Original Chicken Sandwich and honestly it tastes pretty dang similar! A good budget sandwich you can get on Sunday when you're craving Chick-fil-A. I'll definitely get it again!

    I like to go through this thread and wish I lived in the US just so I could taste half of these things. But good news, the UK now has halo top! Only 7 flavours for whatever reason (Cinnamon roll, peanut butter cup, chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate, mint chip, sea salt caramel, and vanilla) I bought cinnamon roll to taste and loved it! I was worried it would taste too much like Stevia which I absolutely hate, but it didn't! Its expensive for ice cream though (£5 a tub) so I don't know how often I'll be eating it unfortunately

    They’re half price in Tesco from tomorrow!

    If that Ben and Jerry's doesn't come to a store near me, I will be making a special order online for it. That is something I need in my life.

    Well the cinnamon taste was good, but the bars were a little hard for my liking. I was hoping they would be more like rice krispy treat softness. Loved the cinnamon churro taste though. Very sweet and cinnamony.

    I saw on Facebook that The Dough Bar will be on Shark Tank January 28th, hopefully they get an investment which will help them get into stores so shipping isn’t through the roof, it’d be nice if the price went down a bit, too

    I also got an email from Noodles & Company that their veggie noodles are available. They’ve always been available at my store so maybe this means it’s finally for every store?

    Oreo has a red velvet flavor coming out the first week of February for Valentine's day. I'd try it.

    I saw Oreo red hot cinnamon at Target yesterday. I am more partial to lemon or heads or tails oreos.

    I LOVEE the red velvet Oreos. Not a huge red velvet fan but it’s one of my favorite Oreo flavors.

    I did not care for the red velvet Oreos. I am a huge red velvet fan and I was excited to try them. They were okay, but did not taste like red velvet.

    If your "good news" is Halo Top, then that's really depressing.

    If you occasionally visit McDonald's and don't have the app, you're missing out. Some really sweet deals on that. (Assuming, of course, you have the willpower not to go crazy in there...in which case you should definitely not have the app to tempt you.)

    Yesterday I saw Hostess dark chocolate raspberry cupcakes and donettes. I did not get them and I regret it. I am assuming they will be for Valentine's day so I will be looking for them again.

    Thanks! The picture sort of looks icy and unappealing but hey, it can't be much worse than Arctic Zero so I'm willing to give it a go! Does anyone know if there are any cotton candy flavored protein powders in existence :')

    I know not everyone here lives near a Shoprite, but for those who do, their fudge is arguably the best I’ve ever had. At least, this flavor is... it tastes like pecan pie and sweet potato pie had a delicious baby....

    By cutting a piece and running downstairs while hoping my family finishes the rest before I can go back upstairs for more, it’s the one good thing about living with other fully grown men, they’re always prowling for food :p

    To my surprise, that ice cream stuff was in my stockpile of things I’ve been meaning to try. I would assume different proteins would result in different textures, but I used a standard whey with xanthan gum similar to Quest (it always blends the same) and I’m not blown away with the final result. The taste is great, but not too different from how it tastes normally if I blend and freeze it. The texture, as I expected, has many little ice crystals and is far from that smooth, creamy ice cream texture. I feel like it’s a scam, I can definitely make the same thing just freezing regular blended protein. Waste of 150 calories, you can budget that for a banana and get a much better texture the next day.
