cissy says "It's the berriest!" about Blue Bunny Berry Me Please ice cream

cissy — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:16:37 GMT

This ice cream is heavenly! It combines the cute berry cordial filled chocolate rabbits with delicious berry ice cream. I will certainly buy this product again. Good job, Blue Bunny!...

cissy says "Healthy multigrain snack" about Quaker - Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars

cissy — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 23:39:39 GMT

I've only tried the Honey Roasted Nut flavor, but was not very impressed with this granola bar. At 160 calories per bar, I would have expected more flavor. Though it has a lot of healthy ingredients (rolled oats, whole grain barley, cashews, and pecans), it seems overly salty to me. I'm glad I had a coupon on this so I didn't pay full price. It is not likely that I will buy this granola bar again, at least not in this flavor....

cissy says "Guilty pleasure" about Oreo - cakesters

cissy — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:46:35 GMT

These have are easy to carry along and have good flavor, but the texture is too much like raw cookie dough. Also, 250 calories is quite a lot for two "cookies". That being said, the filling is great, and these are worth it just for the filling....

cissy says "For breakfast on the run" about South Beath Living Chocolate High Protein Cereal Bar

cissy — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:41:58 GMT

Sorry, but this one misses the mark. It is like chewing on cardboard - no flavor, and the consistency was like fibreboard. On top of that, it left an aftertaste. I have not tried any of the other flavors of this cereal bar, so I don't know if this one flavor is a fluke. The only advantage to it, is that it is portable enough to carry along. But I'd have to be REALLY hungry to want another one of these....

cissy says "Extra Dark Chocolate with Exotic Ingredients" about Hershey's Extra Dark Chocolate with Macadamia Nuts & Cranberries

cissy — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 01:20:00 GMT

Though I really like Hershey's Special Dark chocolate, the Extra Dark Chocolate bar with Macadamia Nuts & Cranberries leaves much to be desired. There is very little chocolate flavor; in fact, there is very little flavor of any kind in this bar. Even though I got this on sale and also used a cents-off coupon, it was not worth the money. I would have expected better from Hershey's....

cissy says "Easy way to get your fruits and vegetables" about Juicy Juice - Harvest Surprise Grape

cissy — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 17:39:09 GMT

What a great way to get both fruits and vegetables! And this juice tastes so close to regular grape juice that you can't really tell the difference. As someone whose husband doesn't like vegetables, it is hard to incorporate enough vegetables into my diet. This provides an easy way to get more, and different, vegetables....

cissy says "A tasty treat for your cat" about Friskies Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys Wild Salmon Florentine with Garden Greens (2/3oz Cans)

cissy — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 21:30:08 GMT

My cats are fussy about what they will eat (no beef, no salmon) and they are fussy about the texure of their cat food as well (no shredded, no large pieces). But they LOVE this cat food! Though it is a little on the expensive side, I do get it once in a while just because they do like it so well.

cissy says "For multiple cats" about Tidy Cats Multiple Cat Litter

cissy — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 21:21:35 GMT

Though this is advertised as a product for multiple cats, it doesn't seem to be any better at keeping down odor and mess any better than products that don't claim to be multi-cat. I'm not sure if there was an aroma that my cats didn't like, or if the dark color let them to believe the litter was dirty, but they would only use it a time or two before I had to change it....

cissy says "Great alternate to potato chips" about Pringles - Parmesan Garlic Potato Crisps

cissy — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 21:14:07 GMT

If you like crunchy chips, as I do, you'll like these. They have the flavor and crunch of "kettle chips", but not the grease. And the parmesan/garlic combination is just right. The only minus is that they do have a lot of salt. Overall, though, these are a great snack....

cissy says "Delicious source of fiber" about General Mills - Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Chewy Bars

cissy — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:05:16 GMT

What a great way to get a good portion of your daily fiber! It helps that the ingredients are favorites of mine - chocolate, oats, and honey. And it's easy to carry along. That's important to me, as I am frequently away from home attending auctions and estate sales. (If you'be attended these type of events, you know that healthy food is not readily available.) ...

cissy says "Refreshing pick-me-up for those afternoon doldrums" about Junior Mints

cissy — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 13:46:29 GMT

An old favorite of mine than never seems to "get old". Given the choice between Junior Mints and other chocolate & mint products, I prefer Junior Mints. With all the different types of candy that have come and gone in the last many years, this one has stayed as a standard for the industry....
