Weekend Gallery
August 5, 2018
Well, well, well – it’s been way too long since I’ve done a Weekend Gallery hasn’t it? Going to change that right now! I always take pictures of questionable items when I see them in the store and I’ve got quite a few that are ready for posting. So come along with me and see what’s around these days. Disclaimer – The opinions you are about to read are mine and mine alone.
Let’s start with a classic – Spaghettio’s! Who can resist them right? Oh wait – I can. There’s nothing good about this product and to add calcium to try to make these healthy? Yeah – not buying it – either literally or figuratively. One of my sons couldn’t wait to try these and now he’s sorry he did. Lesson learned.
And here we have another classic – Dippin’ Dots! Remember those from the 80’s? I remember and they were interesting but I wasn’t all that crazy about them. Well, I guess cereal makers are feeling all retro because here we have the Dots revamped.
In the same vein – Nilla Wafer cereal! Why, oh why do we want our kids to think desserts are okay for breakfast? And let’s be honest, they really don’t taste that great. Save your money people – eat oatmeal for breakfast and save Nilla Wafer Banana Pudding for dessert. No confusion.
Our last exhibit is the “this is easier and cheaper to make it yourself category”. Yes, you see that right – cream cheese frosting in a tub. You can bet it doesn’t taste like the real thing which is simply cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. I didn’t say it was good for you, but I’m sure the tub creation probably has a lot more ingredients. Hell, I checked the ingredients of the name brand cream cheese to the cheap brand and the cheap brand had 3 or 4 extra ingredients! Sheesh!
So that’s today’s gallery – I’ll be back next week with some items I took pictures of in the spring (I need to make sure I haven’t already posted them as well – heh). Happy Sunday!
