Random Review Roundup 2

By Grocerygems @grocerygems
A few months ago I did a Random Review Roundup featuring lots of new products that I had bought but never got around to reviewing, either because I didn't take enough photos or I just plain forgot. So here is another chance for some unloved products to get their mini moment of glory:
Random Review Roundup 2
Shape Delights Vanilla & Chocolate: A low calorie yogurt with a simple vanilla flavor and added dark chocolate sprinkles. The artificial sweetener aftertaste is quite strong. 6 out of 10.
Random Review Roundup 2
Kettle Tortilla Chips- Cool Sour Cream: These were so good that they were all eaten before I could take any decent photos. A great alternative to Doritos. The Cool Sour Cream variety have a very similar flavor to Doritos Cool Original, but without the MSG. 9 out of 10.
Random Review Roundup 2
Kellogg's All-Bran Chocolate Crunch: Anyone want to read my fascinating review all about All-Bran Chocolate Crunch?? No - I thought not. 7out of 10.
Random Review Roundup 2
Kooks Vegetable & Rice Snacks: These were worth a review but unfortunately my photos were quite dire. It was hard to capture the cuteness of the characters on the packets. They reminded me of the LocoRoco computer game. A healthier alternative to crisps, with less salt, less fat and high in fiber. If you see them buy them. 8 out of 10.
Random Review Roundup 2
Mila: Looking at this is bringing back some horrible memories. Have you ever taken one bite of a snack and spat it straight out again? Well that's exactly the effect the Mila had on me. I thought this would make a cute Christmas review with it's tinsel and baubles picture on the front, alongside a cappuccino. What flavor could this possibly be? I asked myself. Surely not tinsel and bauble flavor. Hahahaha. Well the joke is on me. Turns out it was sour milk and vomit flavor. 0 out of 10.

Haribo Christmas range 2012: These Merry Snowmen, Jolly Santas, and Stars all look very cute. As with a lot of Christmas junk food, these are still sitting in the cupboard. One day Haribo, one day.

Random Review Roundup 2 Ritter Sport Butter Biscuit:  I just plain forgot to write about this one. I usually love the combination of chocolate and biscuits but this Ritter version was not my favorite. It's worth a try if you can find it, but I found the chocolate to be far too sweet. 6 out of 10.

Snowy Puffs: I bought these in a discount store and I don't think they even exist anymore. Probably because the meringue balls do not taste very good at all. At least it wasn't a repeat of the Party Puffs fiasco. 4 out of 10.

Calin + Vanilla: A creamy yogurt with a delicious sweet vanilla flavor. With added calcium and vitamin D, it's a good choice for reluctant milk drinkers. 8 out of 10.
Random Review Roundup 2
Pumpkin Pie from Whole Foods: It turns out that my eldest son loves pumpkin pie. Who knew? This pie was so delicious, and the whole family loved it so much, that I even baked a homemade pumpkin pie a few weeks later. My son said he wants the Whole Foods one again next time. 9 out of 10.

The Pantry Chocolate Bread (Aldi): I thought this was quite an interesting product. It came with a foil tray and a basic bread mix which only needed a few wet ingredients to be added (eggs and milk) and then left to rise. The finished product was quite disappointing, very stodgy and with not much flavor. 4 out of 10.

Kit Kat Extra Crispy: Made by Hershey's in the US and obviously similar to our very own Kit Kat Chunky but with some big differences. The chocolate is much thinner (surely the main joy of a Kit Kat Chunky is the super thick chocolate coating!) and is nowhere near as tasty. There are also even more layers of wafer here, making these taste like a rather boring wafer biscuit. 5 out of 10.
I hope you enjoyed this Random Review Roundup and, due to my kleptomaniac ways, I am sure there will be a few more to come.
