People were raving about these....”OMG, there’s only 4 ingredients and you can pronounce them all, and they are soooo good and good for you!!”
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 meh

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 hungry

I tried nori and I just can't. Wanted to embrace it, but just no😞

I know I'm in the minority for nori..The good news is you can have all of mine..please enjoy😊😊😊😊♥️

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.

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.

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.

Kirkland protein bars... I'm 50/50. Weird aftertaste on the cookie dough IMO. The Brownie is pretty good.

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.

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.

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..

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.

Another one that comes to mind is Smashmallow.

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!

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.

Built bars. Every YouTuber I watched loved them & kept seeing ads everywhere I decided to splurge for sample pack. They so gross.

I agree with this.

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.
