I really like this. I had Bariatric surgery in September and this is now my morning cup of coffee. I drink it every day.
101
My 17-month pit mix loves this chew. She carries it around the house with her and has chewed on it steadily since I gave it to her a couple of days ago. From a doggie prospective, this chew is definitely five stars. However, from a human prospective, the chew leaves behind lots of tiny pieces of chew material (rawhide) on the floor and carpets. That is, there is chew residue everywhere. So, your dog will love it, but you may not love the cleaning up. After writing the above paragraph, it occurred to me that the reason the chew is so brittle is because it has been on the shelf too long and has dried out. I've never seen rawhide break up like this. Perhaps the seller should refresh its stock or offer a discount for ancient, brittle rawhide chews.

love the tea. it's kind of tart, like cranberries. it's supposed to be good for blood pressure, because it acts as a diuretic. I've ordered it several times, and so far Amazon has the best price!
103
I am a huge fan of tea. I have been drinking this one for years. I am astonished at the price -- such a great deal. Anyway, if you must buy tea in a box, this is one to purchase. I love the subtle flavors of this tea. I always feel better after drinking a cup. It's even better if you add a little fresh (organic) lemon juice.

I have a dog who until we adopted her never had oral care,so her teeth were in bad shape. We brush her teeth every 3 weeks and give her 1 booda bone weekly . Not only are her teeth cleaner but some of the staining has gone away. Our vet told us that these are the best thing for her because they digest easily and do not contain plastics.
105
maybe i should not have ordered two because i was eating these things non stop for about two weeks and now i have to take a break
106
This baked bar has the delicious equivalence of banana bread, and is a great on the go breakfast. Although it was moist, it was a little spongy, but nonetheless i definitely recommend it.
107
I picked up a package of Via out of curiosity. For the record, I am the owner of a coffee roastery and a cafe which has won "Coffee Bar of the Year" for the past 4 years in CT. We roast coffee for other cafes as well so I feel I have a pretty good grasp of what a good coffee should taste like. Here's my impression of Via: It is certainly easy to prepare. I generally drink a 16oz coffee so I used 2 packets (they are sized for an 8oz serving) to prepare my cup. The coffee is ready to drink as soon as it is stirred. I drink my coffee black and what I taste is only the coffee (my preference for brewing water is a neutral pH of 7, a Langelier Index of zero and no chlorine, fluoride, or lime). On to the coffee: A good Colombian should be very balanced, with good body, brightness* and a nutty flavor. Truth be told, most Colombian coffee on the market is a bit boring, and most are at best a simply decent, clean cup with almost no aftertaste. Unfortunately this is only true if it's fresh** from a roaster which is unlikely. The Via Colombian that I tried might have started out as an Arabica coffee from the low end of the Specialty Coffee spectrum. Since I don't know the timeline for production, it is very difficult to say how old the coffee was to begin with but there is definitely a "woody" note that I associate with aged beans. The actual flavor might not be terrible if you where able to separate out this woody note but unfortunately Via has a very objectionable mouth feel and aftertaste. After a few seconds, there is a very noticeable residue left on your tongue that is bitter and astringent. I typically associate this with a brew that has had coffee grounds siting in it such as when a coffee filter collapses while brewing. Bottom line for me: I would drink it only if my only other choice was a widely available and well known "donut" shop coffee (which I am mystified why anyone would drink...just terrible). As for the flavored versions of Via, I am really not a fan of ANY flavored coffee since these flavorings are typically unhealthy and serve mostly to mask the objectionable tastes of the coffee. I drink coffee because I like the flavor. This was my second tasting of Via. I tried it when it was first released in 2009 and was hoping to see an improvement but my notes from that tasting are very similar. I really think that a high end instant is a good idea, but unfortunately for me, Via misses the mark. For a quick and relatively convenient cup, I would suggest investing $30 in an "AeroPress" made by Aerobie and widely available. Armed with a freshly roasted coffee from your local micro roaster, you get a tasty, easy to prepare cup, and a very simple cleanup.. * We use the descriptive term "acidity" to describe brightness. This is not to be confused with the often heard term "acidic" which people lament about a coffee that upsets their stomachs. This is thought of by many people in the industry to be the result contamination of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, molds, fungus, and other contaminants often found in non-specialty grade coffee. We believe that most of these complaints would disappear simply by trying a better quality coffee. ** Fresh = less than two weeks from roasting. Most coffee is WAY beyond this timeline....

Caribou's daybreak morning blend is a good coffee. It is not a dark blend according to the scale on the box but it pretty strong and is sure to satisfy even the most "hardcore" of coffee drinkers. Only downside is that it tastes a little acidic.
109
What a great idea for the weekend golfer!! I can't wait to use mine this weekend!!

About half the cans in my case were dented, and it certainly looks to me that they must have been dented before being packaged together into my case (cans in the middle of the pack have side dents, for example). I had intended to include a can or two into care packages destined for American soldiers (a little taste of Thanksgiving, and the cans are pretty enough to be decorative). But, I can't be sending dented cans to our troops -- and I don't want to eat from dented cans myself, so I'm vexed. For purposes of this review, I opened a good can to taste the product, and the product tastes good. It certainly costs enough. I would have been quite happy with this if I didn't find half the goods were damaged (I consider them unusable), and I didn't think that I was intentionally bamboozled by someone trying to dump dented cans.
111
I thought I would write a review because I have seen some negative ones out there. In particular, ones about dogs vomitting green sponges after eating them. My girlfriend and I have a little maltese (Dexter). He's a little over two years old and loves greenies. Absolutely loves them. They're his favorite treat. He loves to hide them and then go back for them later. A couple things to watch for... the package says to only feed them one a day. We were feeding him like 3 or 4 a day. We thought it was like a dental treat and couldn't hurt. We've cut it back to one a day and every once and awhile we'll give him two. Another thing, they can be messy. When we first got him and he was tiny, it would take him awhile to eat them. Once they get wet, they tend to stick to things. Now that he's older, he eats them pretty fast so there's no problem. We've never had him vomit from them, ever. Even when we were giving him 4 a day. He loves them and has never gotten ill from them. One time, he got into the package when we weren't paying attention and hid them all over the house so he probably has a secret stash somewhere. I would stick to the product recommendations (if you can) and if your dog is like ours, he'll love them.
112
When the warehouse workers get hungry they pull a pouch out of the box and begin to eat the stuff you paid for. There was one pack in my box that was open and you could tell that a human had opened the packet. they stuffed it back in the box when they decided they didn't like it. i wonder what else goes on in these warehouses. wonder if any food products can be trusted coming from Amazon!
113
every time I put my twins in their car seats they start crying. I just give them one of this cookies and they are instantly happy. they disolve in their mouth so it is easy to eat and much less messier than any other cookie I have tried. I looove them
114
Hubby and I found the fire-roasted Arriba! salsa one of the better jarred salsas out there (which is not saying much as nothing in a jar is going to compare with the wonderfulness of REAL, fresh salsa). So, I decided to try a couple other Arriba! dip products. I got this. I wish, I really wish, I hadn't wasted my money. I also would like to know what person gave the okay to release this to a market, cause they have clearly had a major loss of taste buds. Horrible. Not cheesy at all. Kinda watery. I had two tastes--the second to make sure I wasn't imagining the awfulness--and then tossed the jar away. Dang. The bean dip also sucked, so with Arriba!, I'll just stick to the salsa when I am too lazy to make fresh. Mir
115
If you like eating roti or nan, this is a great curry. The taste is much better than a few Indian restaurants. You cant go wrong with the price and quality. Happy Eating!!!
116
What our grocery store has available as a maple flavoring has eroded to the point that it's pathetic; and while the quality has gone down the price has gone up. (Eight dollars for a one ounce bottle of stuff with no flavor? No thank you.) So I started looking around for an alternative and found that Mapleine is still available. I didn't know they still made this stuff. My parents used to use this in the 50s; I grew up on it. Use the recipe on the box to make your own maple flavored syrup. The end result, you wind up with something that tastes at least as good as store bought (I'd say a lot better) and you actually know what's in it. Want your syrup a little thicker; add some corn syrup to the mix. I like a little stronger maple flavor so I use a little more flavoring than the recipe calls for. You have to buy a box of six bottles, that's a lot, but the stuff has a long shelf life and it doesn't take up too much storage room. I can do that. Bottom line: great stuff, I'm glad they still make it.
117
Reminds me of the ones I get at the gas station, okay I'm no connoisseur but I know what I like. These are just great!
118
I just wanted to supplement the dry food that I feed my two schnauzers. I tried several other brands and even other canned food by this same brand. My dogs did not do well on any of them until I tried this one. They love it and it does not cause stomach upset or potty problems. I highly recommend this product for extra protein, esspecialy if your dog has a delicate system.
119
This stuff really works. I don't sleep well at night and most times have to nap during the day. When I can't nap because of committments, and know I will get very sleepy - this energy drink keeps me awake without the jitters from coffee. The price at Amazon is great and it's handy to have available.
120
I looked at a lot of different truffle oils and this one came from a manufacturer that makes a lot of related items. It tastes great and it is a good value. I bought it for my son-in-law who is a professional chef and he thinks it's just great, too!
121
My family fell in love with Haribo Raspberries this fall when we tried our first bag from a local store-they were an instant hit. Fresh, vibrant colors, the non-pareils (sugar balls) on the outside burst in your mouth as you tasted them. Yum! However, I was instantly disappointed when the box I ordereed from Amazon arrived, instead of a fresh, vibrant red, the berries that should have been red were a faded, dingy tan-peach color. The black ones were still black, but when you handled them it left a brown residue on your fingers as if the color was leaching out of them. The color wasn't the only problem-the non-pareils didn't have that "burst" quality, they were rather bland and tasted old. I think the candy was old, or perhaps improperly stored, because it was still within the expiration date by a few months. Whatever the case, the large bag was nowhere near the quality or flavor that the locally purchased Haribo Raspberries were, and I'll not make that mistake again.
122
These don't taste like the regular Honey Grahams. I am not sure if I got a defective item, but I couldn't stomache these. It tasted stale and off.
123
I purchased this cereal because it appeared to be very healthy and promising. But once I received it and after smelling and tasting it i knew something was wrong. I know a rancid smell when i smell it. I would not feed this to my baby. I tasted and it left a terrible after taste. I called the company and read other reviews on this defect. The company says since there is less fat in this specific product, a smell has resulted but it does not affect the overall product and is safe to eat. I was sent another container but this had the same smell, so I would conclude that the recently made containers are all like this. The expiration date was in 2013. Sorry, but anything that smells like this I would never give to my baby. However the oat and rice cereals do not have a rancid smell and I give those to my baby every day and do not see a problem with them. I still need to research more into the extraction method of DHA which may also have something to do with the smell.
124
We must have simply received a bad batch of Jet Fuel the first time. I left a negative review and one star. Luckily I have the opportunity to edit that review. We have done a complete reversal and love this coffee now. I makes a delicious and rich cup...even the 10 oz brew. Glad I gave Jet Fuel a second chance! Highly recommend :-)
125
Seems good, gave to family and they seem to enjoy it with no problems. No complaints of spillage.So far so good.

***** I really enjoy Numi's Berry Black Fruitea Darjeeling Black Tea, because unlike most berry teas, I taste the black tea and the Darjeeling far more intensely than the berries...the berries are more like overtones and definitely not overwhelming, creating what I think is a more adult berry black tea. The flavors of this tea are thankfully complex. Berry Black is certified organic and contains fair trade certified organic Darjeeling black tea, organic hibiscus, organic freeze-dried strawberries, organic freeze-dried raspberries, organic rosehips, and organic raspberry leaf. There are no oils or natural flavorings used, unlike many berry teas. It is also kosher. This tea is sustainable in that all packaging materials are biodegradable and recyclable, the carton is made of 100% post-consumer waste, and cello wrap is not used. Numi says that all their tea bags "are made of natural fiber paper, not the trendy, "silky" see-though nylon tea bags". The reason it is called "full leaf" is that Numi black teas do not contain tea dust or fannings, which tend to make tea taste bitter; instead, they contain the full leaf, expanding when they are brewed, "releasing a robust and long lasting experience". On the box, the manufacturer writes: "Extraordinary and the first of its kind, Numi's organic Berry Black features real North American forest fruits, not artificial or natural flavorings, to create an authentic berry taste. Our luscious strawberries and raspberries are freeze-dried at the peak of ripeness to retain their true flavor. This sassy, organic tea is fresh, wild, and all natural, blending hibiscus, Vitamin C-loaded rosehips, and a touch of smooth organic Darjeeling. Grown in the high mountains of India, Numi's special Darjeeling adds a floral balance as it captures the depth of black tea. Discover the berried treasure in each cup - you'll be hooked!" If you like Numi teas, get it---you won't be sorry. If you are new to Numi but love Darjeeling tea, this will probably be the best you've ever had. Highly recommended. *****

Our Airedale loves the taste of the Beef Freeze Dried Dog Treats which we use for training. It really works

I used to hate dark chocolate. I didn't care for its dryer texture or bitter taste. Then I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and chocolate pretty much became a no-no. Through careful experimentation though, I discovered I could occasionally enjoy a square of dark chocolate with higher cacao percentages because they have less sugar. I began to appreciate the flavor of chocolate without the milky sweetness and have since been a big fan. Keeping that in mind I'm always trying new brands and blends in search of the perfect dark chocolate bar. Unfortunately, as much as I love Newman's Own as a company and many of their other products this chocolate was just not for me. It's too sweet and the vanilla taste came through strong. It melted into a watery consistency in my mouth and almost had an alcohol-like tang to it. Once I'd noticed that tang I checked the ingredient list and sure enough it's made with chocolate liquor which some may like but I personally don't care for when I reach for dark chocolate. At only 54% cocoa this is pretty low on the spectrum of darker chocolates and with it's texture would be a great introduction to dark chocolate for someone who doesn't like it usually. It kind of reminded me of an oversweetened version of Lindt Lindor Truffles Dark Chocolate, 60-Count Box's centers. If you like organic and fairtrade chocolate this is certainly not a bad place to start but I would recommend trying Theo Classic Organic (70% Cacao) Dark Chocolate, 3-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) (or any other Theo chocolate bars which are my FAVORITE Organic and Fair trade chocolate products) if you're looking for something similar but with a higher cocoa content.
129
These are the best ones of the Wellness bars because they're completely grain free. My dogs love these. They also contain no artificial preservatives. Highly recommended. However, I wish these came in a 50 oz box like the other flavors. The 20 oz box at 8.99 is the same cost at the pet store (and it is 45 cents per ounce) versus a 50 oz box which is just 30 cents an ounce. The product is fantastic, though. A++++
130
I thought I would try this product for the *health* reasons. It is unusable. It tastes so bad it gave me a headache. I kept it for another two weeks to see if I could get used to it. I couldn't bring myself to try it again more than once. Ugh.
131
This has been my favorite olive oil for several years. It goes great with fresh tomatoes, or with balsalmic for dipping french bread. I highly recommend it.
132
Bought it because it's on sale, but it turned out to be a super disappointment. Like the others said, it's not edible. What I feel is that it's can not be called salty. It's absolute salt! I have to wash it in hot water for 5 minutes and then eat it. What a mess!
133
My wife and I really wanted to get our baby some hard food for her to work on dexterity without introducing any gut irritants like gluten to her. Kids don't need the cereals, they add no needed nutrients they can't get from veggies/fruits and meat, but it is a good tool for teaching them coordination, plus it's fun. My little girl absolutely loves these. When she sees the bottle, or just hears us shake it, she smiles from ear to ear and starts kicking her little feet with delight. They dissolve quickly and taste just fine. She has never choked on them, so that's a big plus. They are a bit more than your standard puffs, but the low sugar, and no gluten is well worth the price. Buy these puffs!
134
If you like sugar and tropical fruit, these snacks are for you. They are small chunks with lots of flavor and they taste great. My kids love them and I have purchased them many times. Also good on cereal. Sugar gets a bad rap, I recomend it for good health!
135
I do subscription-based purchase. So far I received 3 shipments from Amazon. With first shipment, the cap attachment on two boxes popped out, and water leaked, and I had to throw those boxes away. Second shipment was OK. Third shipment has one box with cap attachment popped out and most of water from the box was leaked. I do the subscription-based purchase for convenience, but considering having to throw away 1 or 2 boxes out of 12-box carton is not good. Looking for alternative brand.
136
He is simply wild over this stuff. Uses to make homemade hot mustard chex mix...on popcorn...not even counting all the other random uses he finds. Too hot for me (but I am a wimp when it comes to "hot" foods....but if you like the heat, you will love it.
137
Blueberry coffee...sounds weird, right? This is the best darn coffee out there. One try and you are hooked! It tastes like coffee in your mouth with a blueberry muffin aftertaste. The flavor is not strong, just a hint of bluberry! The smell when it is brewing is delightful! I encourage all people with a Keurig to try it once. I am the pickiest eater I know and I love it!!!
138
Did some googling on kitten nutrition and found that the food I was feeding my kitten did not have very high water content and that she was supposed to be eating a meat based food (grain is no good for cats). This food seemed to match well with what google told me, and I've been feeding her this wet food for 2 months now. She seems to like the food and she looks great. She seemed pretty healthy before as well, but there was a noticeable difference after I switched her food. Her coat is shinier and softer, she's more energetic, and has been maintaining a good weight. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but I think its worth the price and I will keep buying it.
139
I have worked for a major retailer for the past 20 years, we sell Soda Stream and all its accessories. I even performed ALL the product samplings this past 4th quarter. I bought one for myself. I like it okay but slowly came to realize that every time I drank the diet cola my face would erupt with cysts that were huge and raw. I thought it was stress or something else. I went to an allergist and tested with very strong reaction to "sulfites". everyone, I mean EVERYONE look at your bottles of syrup and despite all the "healthy" mumbo jumbo find the small print "contains sulfites". My Dr. told me to stop drinking the soda stream diet cola (I believe all the flavors have sulfites, but I could be wrong) for several weeks. I complied and stuck with good old Diet Coke. My face cleared up within a few days and was cyst free. Them my Dr. instructed me to make a batch of the diet cola in the 1 liter bottle and drink it throughout 1 day. The next day the cysts were forming again and then progresively got worse. Stopped using soda stream products completely and have had NO flair ups since. I would be very careful as sulfites have many bad side effects. I truly loved the product, its simplicity and sold tons of it because I thought it was great. Little did I know I was selling something tainted with sulfites. If you have noticed any strange blisters, cysts or acne do as I did with my Dr.s instructions and see for yourself. I am male so don't insinuate it was a "monthly menstrual cycle". BEWARE.

We only like WHITE popcorn, and the only grocery store option where we live is Jolly Time, which is not bad. For fun, we started ordering various white popcorns online, and THIS is BY FAR the VERY BEST white popcorn!! Wish it were a little less expensive, but we've decided that it really is THAT much better than others. We are now Snappy white popcorn snobs! :)
141
Though I like to try and use all natural foods, I will not sacrifice flavor just to "go natural". From the 1st mini-chip to the last in one of the 1 oz snack-sized bags, I was entirely satisfied and will definitely buy these. I started eating the chips plain and, from the 1st bite, found the multigrain flavor satisfingly strong with a just a hint of sweetness that took the edge off the grain flavor. The size and shape of the chips (more like crackers than larger tortilla chips) was good for snacking, plus the thickness provided just the right texture and "crunch" factor. Later I finished the chips with a pesto dip and the complementary flavors worked perfectly: the chip didn't over power the dip, but neither did it roll over and die. I am sure I would enjoy these tortilla chips with other dips. Finally a last observation is how well these mini-chips kept their original shape. Out of the entire (albeit small) bag, only 1-2 chips were broken. An all natural winner that will have a permanent spot on my households snack-food roster.
142
I have no personal experience with Greenies but my dog loves them. Her rating is grrrreat!
143
I love this cereal. It is healthy and really tasty which is such a rare combination to find! My 2 year old loves this cereal too. She keeps saying - give me 2 hearts or give me 2 circles :-)

We have a Princeton Popper which we bought from this same company, and have owned for close to a year. They are really great people giving excellent customer support, standing behind their products. With that said, this popcorn is really, really great, and you don't have to have a "popcorn machine" to use it. You can cook it on the stove in a big tall pot like you would use for sweet corn. My only suggestion is not to put the lid on the pot but to put a mesh splatter screen over it. This will permit the vapor to escape keeping the popcorn light and fluffy and not moist. This popcorn is so good you don't need to add butter either. It's fine just the way it is which is better for our health too. I have two family members that have bought Princeton machines and this popcorn because they liked ours so much, and any time friends come over for a movie or just to visit, they always ask if I would make popcorn. The 8 oz. cases shipped free through Amazon really don't cost any more per oz. than you'd pay for Orville microwave in a grocery store and is hundered fold better. Ever eat left-over microwave popcorn the next day?....Yuk, it's disgusting. And you're not suppose to breath the vapor when you first open the bag fresh out of the microwave, and you want to eat that stuff? Great Northern still tastes fresh and good for days if you bag it up. After your first bag of Great Northern you'll wonder why on Earth you ever keep eating that junk from the grocery store.
145
This product that I recieved was old... My dogs turned their nose up at it... My dogs really love this when they are fresh... These must have been over 1 yr old... I can't believe that Amazon had sold these... Bad, Old, Products...
146
I appreciated being able to order this product on line especially since it is not available in local grocery stores!
147
Love these fruits for a healthy snack, and more importantly, my 2 and 4 year old love them and eat them like they're candy. Highly recommend!
148
These are my favorite variety of Larabar. If you like gingerbread (not gingersnaps or gingerbread cookies, mind you -- actual gingerbread, the kind that you can eat by the slice) than I am willing to bet that you will love these bars as much as I do. The taste is exactly like that of freshly baked gingerbread; the texture is moist like gingerbread but crunchy because of the nuts the bar contains. The crunchiness, in my opinion, doesn't detract a whit from the overall fabulousness of these bars -- in fact, I would say it adds to it. Finally (and this is true of all Larabars) the stunning brevity of the ingredient list bears noting. Larabars contain no added sugar, no artificial flavoring or coloring, and no preservatives. All of the sweetness and flavor (and there is just enough of the former and plenty of the latter) come from wholly natural, healthful sources.
149
I've been using palm/coconut sugar on and off for a while and recently bought this brand. After reading about it on the company website, I was satisfied that it's the real deal and am happy with it. I've put it in the coffee grinder to make it powdered for making frosting and it worked well. I love the flavor of this sugar too.
150
It took two or three cans, but I love these now. When I first tried these, I thought the taste was not as "bold" as I would like it to be. I do wish they were a tad stronger and hotter on the wasabi taste, but I am hooked on these now. I eat some almost every day.
151
I purchased several different Korean Noodle Soups but I prefer this "Black" bag version best. The product is a great soup with much flavor, some veggies, a nice spicy hot taste and lots of noodles. I modify the soup a little by adding some cut-up pieces of 3 or 4 green onions and some cut-up pieces of roasted chicken breast "after" making the soup to make it higher in protein. I usually have this and other Korean soups every day for a great "power lunch". Love this soup, fast and easy to make in a pot or by pre-heating the water in a microwave and then pouring it over the dry soup in a bowl.
152
Camp Chicory and Coffee Essence was originally created as a kind of instant coffee drink, but I like to use it as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, or as flavoring for baked items. Just the right balance of bitter and sweet; not cloyingly sweet like so many flavored syrup products. Common in UK grocery stores, but very hard to find in the USA. So great to find it available on Amazon!
153
Delicious tea. Very smooth with almost no astringency. Unfortunately there are only about two ounces of tea in this canister. [Cry.]
154
Great cookies. Not overly sweet as most American cookies can be, with a hint of citrus. Could not ask for more. There is only 12 or so cookies in the box, but a decadent treat.
155
No problem with the vendor or the shipping. My cat used to love this product & looked forward to getting it each night when I got home from work. I would say "beaver" & he would come running & wait by his dish. This last batch is dry & my cat won't eat it. I even bought a can from a local pet food store & found the same problem. When I talked to the pet food store owner she said there have been a lot of complaints. I won't buy this product again & wonder what has changed with the manufacturer. The local pet food store owner said this company is very difficult to deal with & it probably wasn't worth my time complaining because they are unresponsive. Maybe they'll care about quality when people stop buying their product.
156
i'm addicted to this cereal... best of the best. watch for the amount of sugar in it: excess of carbohydrates will make you overweight. However, if you exercise, then you burn those calories, and there's NO fat ( less than .01 ) which makes it the perfect meal for all time. eat it with skim milk to get a nutrition value of eating such products! GOOD LUCK! I LUV THIS TONY TIGER!
157
I can't believe this product is out of stock!!! It is so delicious and easy-to-use! The best part is that it comes in a tin so its easy to scoop out the rub instead of having to shake it on and get everything gross. i hope they bring it back soon because i want to stock up on it :)
158
My dog LOVES this food. He follows us around at meal time till he gets his food and then never leaves his dish till it's gone.
159
I've had fresh durian chips from Thailand before, and these are very comparable. Very crisp and not too salty. Probably the only way to get Durian chips in the states.

Buyer Beware Please! This sweetener is not for everybody. Maltitol is an alcohol sugar and can be undigestible in the body. You will know a short time after consuming it if you are one of the unsuspecting many who cannot digest it by the extreme intestinal bloating and cramping and massive amounts of gas a person can experience. Nausea, diarrhea & headaches can also be experienced. I learned my lesson the hard way years ago when I fell in love with the sugar-free chocolates suzanne sommers used to sell. I thought I'd found sugar-free chocolate nirvana at first taste but the bliss was short lived when the terrible side effects of maltitol kicked in. The discomfort was unlike anything I had ever felt before. I blew up like a balloon and had very painful abdominal cramping. As the symptoms passed, this too was very unpleasant. Though hard for me to believe a low calorie sweetener could be the culprit, all symptoms were gone when I stopped eating the chocolate. My hunch it had something to do with the maltitol were unfortunately confirmed for me about a year later when I purchased some delicious sugar-free popcorn at my local market. The taste was amazing and while I was looking at the label wondering what could possibly make this yummy, new sugarfree treat taste so good, my heart sank when I followed the little asterisk next to sugarfree sweetener* down to the very bottom of the label and read "maltitol" in tiny little letters! Thank goodness I'd eaten only a little. I still ended up with the same side-effects but for a much shorter duration. Some people can use maltitol to their heart's content but others, like me, can have a bad reaction to it. In case you're like me, ... it's not you ... it's the maltitol!

These taste good, have a moderately thick consistency, and have a high protein content. The biggest selling point to me is the cap, which (in my experience) seals it tight enough to shake the remainder up without worrying about it leaking. I drank half before and half after my workout; the cap allowed me to store the remainder in the work fridge easily. To me the money spent on this goes towards the convenience of not having to make shakes at work. Will buy again.

I love these as a snack but they are a novel addition to a salad. It's saves money to buy them in bulk from Amazon than at the gourmet grocery store.

My 10-year-old Border Collie is very picky and I have tried every hi-end dog food known to man. Finally, I found something good for him that he actually loves. This food is EXCELLENT! He has had a noticeable increase in energy, he is more responsive, he eats his food (has an appetite) and this food has none of the bad ingredients you are supposed to stay away from. You know how their stools get loose when you switch their food? That never even happened with this food! THANK YOU HALO! BY the way if you go to the HALO web site, you can sign up for their email list and they give you a $5 off coupon!

We ordered the Crystal Light Mocktails Appletini, 1.69-Ounce (Pack of 4)mix and really liked it, so when this was offered, we thought we'd try it as well. It's perfectly okay, but not more than that. It just wasn't as flavorful as I expected, I wanted something a bit tart, a bit Margarita like, but it's really kind of lemony and wishy washy, it doesn't have the distinct flavor that the appletini does. I think if you weren't told it's name, and asked to describe it, you would say something along the lines of a flavored lemonade, but I don't know if you would say margarita. So if you want a lemonade with a bit of a different spin, try it, but if you want a margarita mocktail, this doen't work.

No salt... That's good. Nice and fresh. They are easy to chew and they don't hurt my teeth chewing them. Very good taste. My shipment of almonds has an 8 month freshness date on them but I'm sure you can store them in the freezer and keep them fresher longer. They taste really good. Good product.
166
I don't agree that this is yummy. Quite the contrary, I think it is awful. However, it is gluten free (to the extent I require it to be), which allows me to make so many recipes that I otherwise couldn't. Those recipes don't taste as good as they do with flour-based soup, but if you can't eat flour, this is a great option.
167
These cereal bars are great. The ones with strawberry and blueberry are the best. They are chewy but still soft.
168
Not too bold, not too weak...not bitter. Good way to start if your not into the real strong coffees. My husband and I have added the Wolfgang Puck "Breakfast in Bed" line and the "Rodeo Drive" flavors to our buying ritual.
169
Literally last night only I have tasted this decadent drink. With every sip I could not believe how good it felt. I am so impressed that I have subscribed for Amazon's monthly delivery of a case and I do not do subscription stuff. So if you love dark chocolate, coconut milk and keeping it healthy, you gotta try this.

Starbucks has set the cost of a k-cup at slightly under $1.00 Nothing to be done about that. If you like over-roasted coffee (and I do) you pay the price. This company offered fast service and a fair but still high price. But as I mentioned, the quality of the coffee makes it worth the price
171
I had terrible cramps and diarhea the first time I drank it ... ended up that one tea bag was waaaay to much for me, so now, I brew a whole cup of this tea, and a whole cup of camomile (but you can use any other type too), then I take only HALF of cup of THIS tea and mix it with a full cup of the camomile ... works like a charm - no diarheea, no cramps, just does what it's supposed to in 6 hours! Its true this tea is very potent, so a full dose may be too much for some like me. Just play around with it and find your sweet spot. From time to time, I take meds that bind me up terribly and this tea has been a life saver, nothing works like it!
172
I truly use a lot of cinnamon and want a strong cinnamon flavor so can use the amount the recipe calls for. This is a very good cinnamon and gives me the flavor I want. Incidental, since I have been using this frontier cinnamon in my oatmeal, my blood sugars have gone down over the morning before lunch. Ask your doctor, but this cinnamon is lowering my glucose levels which is desirable for a diabetic. Highly recommend their cinnamon.
173
In my opinion this is the best coffee ever! I've been drinking coffee for 50 plus years and this is what I serve to myself and friends. However, I wish I could find this grind in a pound size, so I could make a full pot rather than just a single cup.
174
My Bear (big Maine Coon kitty) will not eat any other treats! These are wholesome, nutritious, great ingredients. Makes for one picky kitty! He won't eat any other kitty treats! Highly recommended for finicky eaters! Give it a try! (Plus the subscription rate cannot be beat! Thank you Amazon!)
175
it tastes like dead fish, yuck. I was looking forward to trying them but alas, it's one of the most revolting foods I've ever tasted. The texture was done well, and I very much admire the effort to create a healthy snack here, but the flavor made it unpalatable for me.
176
Straight out of the can, this stuff is a bit too strong for my tastes. However it is excellent on ice and even with water to tone it down a bit and make it last quite a bit longer. The same holds for the orange flavor as well.
177
Flavorful and full-bodied, this tea is made from green tea leaves flavored with a hint of pomegranate and raspberry. It is caffeinated but does not bother me at all the way caffeine in coffee does. A civilized way to start the morning. And Subscribe & Save makes it a bargain!
178
How disappointing to get this and find a bag full of melted candy. I suppose it is still edible and can be passed out for Halloween, but I expected the quality to be better. And I know it didn't melt here because it is Michigan in October - it's cold!

We have eight cats - And they all love their kitty treats every night. Thankyou Whiskas Temptations, our cats won't eat any other brand than yours. Thankyou Amazon.com for selling this item as a monthly automatic delivery to our house. How handy is that?

These red hots are great. I bought them to feed the hummingbirds. Two cups water, one cup sugar and four red hots keeps these hummers very happy.
181
I am afraid this was a complete miss for me. The smell alone was a huge turn off. Flavor... hmmmm... what flavor? I guess I will be doing a lot of re-gifting.
182
I had never heard of Weaver's, but since this was on special as an Amazon Warehouse deal, I though I'd give it a shot. Very glad I did - this is fantastic coffee! Rich, smooth, no bitterness. Semi-fine ground that works well in a Senseo. I will absolutely be buying this again. Highly recommend if you're a decaf fan.
183
I like having delivered w/free shipping! There are two flavors per shipment. I think Pedigree is a good name and my dogs love it. So convenient - I don't even like going out to shop anymore!

When I received my Keurig coffee maker with a variety pack of different coffees, I tried very hard to find my favorites because there were many I didn't like at all. Out of the assortment, I liked 3 and the Italian blend was one of them. However I couldn't find it in stores so eventually I ordered it from Amazon. Now that I have been drinking this blend for several weeks, it really isn't as good as I remembered. It's okay but I like the Kona and Nantuckett blends better.
185
Supposedly a variety pack, but I couldn't tell the difference between "Peach Caramel" and "Raspberry Cream." I actually thought that maybe one of them was mislabeled, but then I read the ingredients. All of them have an herbal blend base that is supposed to simulate black tea, with a bit of fruit flavor added to make each one "different." Well, I didn't think much of the herbal base, so I didn't like a single one of the teas. Also, the teas are contained in paper filter bags and then wrapped in a paper wrapper. They are not sealed. If I DID like them it would be nice if the bags were air tight since it would still take me a long time to drink 80 bags of tea.
186
I bought these for a Halloween party with a lot of 2 & 3 year olds. My kiddos treats were the hit, all the kids loved them and asked their parents for more. Several parents said they snuck some of the cookies from their kids and loved them. A fun snack for all!
187
This is a good tasting, gfcfsf bread, which is hard to find. Makes a good size loaf in the breadmaker.

I don't think it looks or smells particularly appealing, and I have not tasted it. My son, however, thinks it's darn near the best stuff in the world. After he had some at a friend's house and came home raving about it, I (reluctantly) bought a box for his use as an after-school snack. According to him, it's the kind of quick food that staves off after-school hunger so severe that it will actually kill a 12-year old boy if he doesn't counteract it by eating something the second he arrives home. (After all, dinner is still a couple hours away; FAR too long to save a hungry, growing boy from complete starvation.) At his request, I bought him a box of Cheeseburger Mac Hamburger Helper Microwave Singles at our local grocery store. A few weeks later I went back, intending to purchase more. Unfortunately, they were out. I asked a store clerk when they would have it back in stock and was told that *that* product would no longer be carried. None of the flavors. We have two grocery stores in our town; I checked the other grocery store with the same result. Odd. Unfortunate. I suspect that this may prove to be one of those products that just don't make it, for some reason. Too bad. It's great kid-quick food, food that they can make themselves, food they will eat and not toy with before tossing away, and food that actually has a modicum of food value to it instead of a load of completely empty calories. So I'm going online to buy up a bunch of this product before disappears completely.

Diamond Almonds Almonds are a good source of magnesium. One ounce contain approximately 20% of the RDA for an adult recommended dietary allowance (RDA) Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) the amounts of selected nutrients considered adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of healthy people. The RDA is based on scientific knowledge and has been presented by a committee of the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The Canadian equivalent is the Recommended Nutrient Intakes. RDA is generally accepted throughout the world as a valid source of information. At least 40 different nations have as well as organizations have published standards similar to the RDA. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Dietary magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines. Are you taking enough magnesium in the diet? The recommended daily allowance is 300mgs/day for men, 350mgs for women. Magnesium is extremely safe by mouth - too much simply causes diarrhea. Try increasing the amount of magnesium you take by mouth until it causes diarrhea, then reduce the dose slightly so it does not. This is called taking magnesium to bowel tolerance (just like using vitamin C to bowel tolerance. Almonds are a good source of Fiber. One ounce contains approximately 12% of the RDA for an adult. So, in summary, Almonds are a very healthy snack, so what's left to say? Two things: 1st be cautious about "bowel tolerance" or "happy bowels" if you prefer. 2nd Taste. I realize that taste is a personal thing. That's why they make chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Here's my current favorites" 1st Blue Diamond Dark mint dark chocolate (reminds me of the chocolate mint Girl Scout Cookies with less sugar). 2nd Blue diamond Dark Chocolate Oven Roasted 3rd Blue diamond Blue Butter Toffee 4thd Blue Diamond Almonds Bold Habanero BBQ (reminds me of BBQ potato chips again with less sugar). 5th Bold Blazin Buffalo Wing 6th Blue Diamond Almonds Cinnamon Brown Sugar 7th Blue Diamond Almonds Lime `n Chili 8th Blue Diamond Almonds Smokehouse 9th Bold Wasabi & Soy Sauce 10th Bold Salt & Vinegar But that's just me: you might have a completely different take on these flavors. 4th and 5th are very close.

This coffee is an excellent buy. It is as good as starbucks coffees. It tastes great. I enjoyed it.
191
I love this product, first it was supose to get here between the 5 and 20th which made me mad, but it actually got here on the 3rd. So that was awsome!!!! Also some people say that its to thin to paint with, not at all it paints amazing!! Looks great works great and came fast, in one word...........perfect

These K Cups are a great value and the taste is fabulous. Very sweet and rich. Tastes best on the largest water setting of machine. Yum!

This was my first experience with a Bear Creek soup product. Their hot & sour soup mix couldn't be easier to use (boil water, open package) or faster (ready in 10 minutes) but it doesn't actually taste like real hot & sour soup, and I've enjoyed Chinese cuisine all over the United States. But that's not to say I don't like Bear Creek's effort! It still tastes distinctly Asian, has a nice kick to it, and if you reduce the water from 8 cups to 7 it's a little more robust. I also add cubed tofu, a package of Miracle Noodle Shirataki Rice, 8-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6) and a couple of beaten eggs, all of which turn this soup into a very flavorful complete meal.

My long haired chihuahua is overweight. Her ideal weight is approximately 6-7lbs, however she currently weighs approximately 9lbs (this is my fault, I overdid it on the treats). She loved her Wellness brand super5mix adult formula for small breeds kibble, but I recently noticed the small breeds weight reduction version being sold at PetSupermarket, and decided to switch her over. I was worried she would not like it, as I had once unsuccessfully tried to switch her over to the other Wellness Super5Mix weight control kibble (purple bag, normal sized kibble). Surprisingly she took to the taste of the Wellness Small Breed Weight Control kibble almost immediately. I didn't even need to ween her off of the Wellness original kibble, just gave her the weight control formula and she liked it, no problems with her digestion. The color of the kibble is slightly less brown than the original adult formula, but she did not seem to notice a difference at all. She likes the small size of the kibble, and recently I have noticed that she has lost about 4 ounces... not much but it is a start. Hopefully with exercise and some restraint by me, she will be within her normal weight range, but I am happy I made the switch and will continue to purchase this brand. TIP: My dog is a picky eater, so I sometimes mix a bit of water into the food which causes the food to give off an aroma, which draws her to it. It also makes it easier for her to eat because it softens the kibble. It's also good because it keeps her hydrated... Just an FYI.

Very good coffee - I can get it much cheaper through Amazon than I can locally. I have signed up to get two 33 oz cans a month. It comes well packaged and fresh.
196
This delicious snack was a great price, and love the fact that these are individually wrapped. The heavy duty box is very convenient to use.

So this stuff is a must have for making true pizza napoletana. I'm really thrilled that it is so accessible here in the USA. This flour makes the most silky smooth dough I've ever had the pleasure of getting sticky with, and it has a different (better for pizza) taste than the all-purpose store brand flour. Sure It costs a little more, it's coming from Italy, but given that you can make about 6 pizzas per bag ... who's counting? Get this stuff, some D.O.P. tomatoes, grow some basil, and make some Mozarella (okay, I admit, haven't done this one ... yet) but given the first couple items there and you're well on your way to the origins of pizza in Naples, Italy. Is it worth it??? I say Si!!! Mangia!!! (And Taylor's Market always comes through for my home shipments!... Cheers!)

This instant coffee is the best. I have tried other brands of this type of product including Starbucks Via and this is by far the very best.

I bought the Sodastream after just looking at it for a while. Then, decided to try it as I remember drinking "fizzies" many years ago and was shooting for that effect. Sodastream does indeed add great fizz but beware the aftertaste. I tried the orange and thought, while I was drinking it, that it was terrific. But, then, for more than a day, I had an aftertaste like some of the diet drinks leave. Same with the Root Beer. And, even though the machine says add carbonation only to water and then add syrup, I decided to try adding carbonation to my own drinks, like Kool-Aid or Hawaiian Punch. Other than being careful with the carbonation and making sure to clean the CO2 port afterward, it works very well. However, even with my own drinks I still get the terrible aftertaste. That part is very disappointing. Not sure if that can even be removed. Is it the carbonation itself? Regular carbonated drinks do not have it.
