Seasonal Food/Groceries Symposium

[jubjubrsx]

seeing so much more of this salty and sweet thing...personally I've never liked it.... kinda dont like the route companies are going, seriously just wish they would leave some of the classics alone. s'mores are awesome in and by itself.....no need to update it.

They are definitely macro friendly (150 cals a pop and 4.5 fat), but that's not why I purchased them: iirc these are the only type of corn dog TJ has and I had come across good reviews.

Okay cool.. Never knew that! I will have to give these a shot for sure! Thanks for the review!

Looks like a basic chocoalte oreo but putting a small dab of vanilla cream in the middle (like a regular vanilla oreo) so basically take a bit of the original oreo and add a chocolate cream. Not much different. I doub't they will be totally unique, but none the less a good marketing tactic.

I agree with this completely.. Unless they somehow infuse some sort of cupcake flavor OR have both the chocolate & vanilla flavors BOTH be pronounced (which is hard to do).. Then I don't see these being a hit at all! Nonetheless, I will try them and most likely end up eating my words haha! The point of the matter is that this is a LIMITED EDITION product.. Who won't buy it just to try it, and therefore they will end up selling every bit of what they produce!

i will buy them too because they are limited, hell i buy a lot of limited things, but again I am basically expecting brownie batter with a touch of a vanilla cream similar to a regular oreo. I can already predict what is coming,

But we know that oreo has been known to overpower aspects of products sometimes they try and compliment flavors and one vastly overpowers another.

Completely agree! I am a sucker for anything limited edition/seasonal.. I hope it ends up being killer somehow, I mean shoot, I loved the brownie batter ones so I will remain hopeful!

Thumbs up on both folks.

Raspberry Tart: Just leave out whole tart (or a slice that you cut from frozen) for a little over an hour at room temp and you are set. Fresh raspberries, not overly sweet overall, and very nice crust. Could have gone for a thicker layer of pastry cream, but a very well put together package. Plus it's macro friendly...can eat a quarter of the tart (which is fairly large) for 290 cals...or the whole thing for a little over a 1000

Pizza al Pollo Asado: 15 min in the oven or 3/4 in microwave (if lazy and want your food to come out badly). Excellent. The masa crust tastes like tamales, but it is not very spicy. Fresh flavorful real chicken pieces inside (not canned quality sh*t) that go together well with the cheese/bean spread in terms of contrasting texture. The tomatillo salsa is a minor player. Whole thing for 410 cals. Boom. Will buy again...and again...and again.

Finally got the Cinnamon Bun Oreo.... definitely a winner, had a couple with some milk and it was a great breakfast combo.

[EmperorRyker]

These are delicious, god damn.

[gbullock32]

^combo sounds... intriguing.

It's their best bagel yet.

[ugasar]

I could dig that for sure.. I will be picking it up and giving it a shot whenever I see it!


On another note, Cupcake Filled Oreos are the biggest let down yet (even though I wasn't really expecting big things).. Just a chocolate cookie! The more you eat, the less intriguing it becomes too!

[ShyGuyXS]

It's their best bagel yet.

So, this is their next LE... interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about that particular flavor combination.

I can confirm that Maple French Toast set the bar pretty high for me.

@jubjubrsx - The Salted Caramel ones that I had been given were okay but had a very slight aftertaste. I don't see myself trying the S'mores.

I have a hard time seeing anything beating the Maple French Toast.

I couldn't agree more with these statements.. I have had both the bagels and English muffins now.. Both are AMAZING!!!!

Maple French Toast is really good, don't get me wrong, but I just think this one is better.

It just seems like a strange flavor to me though.. I just went grocery shopping for the week and both my Kroger & Publix had the Lemon Blueberry bagels in stock. I am waiting until they go on sale to give them a shot though, as I am not too too excited about them!

Have you tried their blueberry bagels? I loved those, too, so since I also really like lemon flavored stuff this was a perfect combination for me. I never had their plain or "Everything" bagels, but I'd rank both blueberry and cranberry ones above Maple French Toast and Cinnamon Raisin. If your preferences are the other way around, then this might not be as GOAT for you as it is for me. But I think these are limited, so don't wait too long!

Yeah see I am not the biggest lemon or cranberry fan.. I would rather have maple french toast > cinnamon raisin > blueberry before cranberry for sure.. However, when they go B1G1 I will definitely give them a shot!

Found the Oreo Filled Cupcake- pretty good, similar to the brownie batter filling but the cream stands out too, does sort of remind me of a Hostess Cupcake.

[SOH11]

After all the raving about Maple French Toast bagels I gave them a shot. Thought they were good, but I guess I'm super weird in that my favorite flavor is their wheat bagel?

Yeah I guess I'm weird.

I like the plain ones because theyre more versatile.

Plain bagel with cream cheese; one of the best simple meals there is.

The only similarity I see with the brownie batter is just being chocolate.. To be honest, I thought brownie batter KILLED these! Brownie Batter is so much darker, richer and fudgier! I thought the vanilla cream was completely lost in the midst of all of the chocolate, BOTH taste and texture..

Really? Been a bit since I had the brownie batter but I think the cream does come in to play. Ah well, Cinnamon Bun stomps these either way.

Cinnamon Bun is the bomb.. Digging into some Marshmallow Crispy right now (possibly my all-tiome favorite)... And how knows what else Oreo has up their sleeve for 2016!!

As far as bagels go, for me it's Lemon Blueberry > Cranberry > Blueberry > Cinnamon Raisin > Maple French Toast. Never had the wheat ones, though.

But as far as their English muffins go, Maple French Toast comes out on top. I like the bagels to be a bit juicier and I feel Maple French Toast don't provide that. The flavor just makes them seem really dry. On the other hand, with muffins, because of the different texture and especially when toasted, it works perfectly.

[EmperorRyker]

Also, I tried the new Oreos and they're great. Bob got banned because he was so wrong on them.

[lazymuchacho]

I'm too much of a food elitist to buy these, but apparently they are the real deal:

I will most likely be buying the Easter Sundae because they are seasonal, but they don't seem all that special to me! I know they reviewed them well, but I follow their channel pretty closely for new products and they rave about many things that are mediocre at best!

Junk banter gave them a 6/10. But I'm the same. I'm a sucker for LEs.

Same, always want to try the new stuff at least once.
