Consumer Product Report:

We tried the Grapple today. I'm bummed that it's fake, because man is it tasty! I don't know exactly how they make them, but they do something totally artificial to make the apples taste like grapes. I'm also a bit put out that they cost a dollar each, but not too put out because I bought 4 of them. Mmmmmm...grapey, and without the expense and political ramifications of buying grapes. These get my reccomeds for tastiness, and my wariness at how they are produced.

Moving on, Nestle cookie dough bars. This is a "candy bar" that promises the deliciousness of cookies in the conveneince of a chocolate covered bar.
Guess what? They suck. Dry, crumbly, and about as tasty as eating a Balance Bar dipped in carob and soy.

Next time: Jimmy Deans meal-size sausage biscuits.
I have some in the freezer now, but am making Stroganoff tonight, so it will be awhile before I eat one.


This has been, Consumer Product Report.
Thankee!

I had the same reaction to the Grapple - they tasted great but I was disappointed to learn it was the result of some artificial "flavoring". At first I thought it was some sort of tasty freakish monster fruit.
