CHOBANI “FLIP” PUMPKIN HARVEST CRISP GREEK YOGURT

Welcome to day 14 of Tag Sale Tastes’ Pumpkinpalooza!

This morning I had a Chobani Greek Yogurt “Flip” Pumpkin Harvest Crisp, described as “pumpkin low-fat yogurt with pie crust pieces, pecans and glazed pumpkin seeds.”

The ingredient list was promising, and included pumpkin puree, pecans, and pumpkin seeds :

ingredientsI like Chobani yogurt, but had never tried one of their “Flips.”  The idea is that the toppings are in their own separate compartment, and you flip them over on top of the yogurt:IMG_6819OK — ready, set, “flip”

Well, that was a little anticlimactic.  Not so much flip, as dump.

Mix ‘er up and you’re ready to go:

I liked this yogurt.  It wasn’t too sweet, and had a nice yogurt tang.  It had a creamy texture, not the hair-gel like texture of some of the “other” yogurts (yes Yoplait, I’m talking about you.)   It could benefit from a little more pumpkin, though, and I really need my pumpkin products to be more orange.  The mix-ins added a flavorful crunch, with a whisper of spice.  Although it will never replace blueberry fruit-on-the-bottom Chobani in my book, it was nice for a little seasonal change.

Welcome to day 13 of Tag Sale Tastes’ Pumpkinpalooza!

Today’s feature is Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses:

Here’s the ingredient list:

Oh, thank heavens they didn’t forget the “natural and artificial flavor.”

They look very attractive in their shiny armor:

Each one has its own toe tag for identification:

Here’s what they look like stripped down:

And their inner core revealed:

These taste like room freshener.  That is all.

No, wait a minute, I have more to say.  They don’t just taste like air freshener, they taste like knock-off air freshener that came from the dollar store.  Their texture is odd, squishy.  They are inedible.  Hand these out to trick-or-treaters this year, and I promise you no one will ring your bell next Halloween.  I am angry that I spent my hard-earned money on these.  These should be recalled — they are that bad.  These are an abomination.

I don’t know if I can ever eat a Hershey’s kiss again.  It’s like accidentally seeing someone naked and not ever being able to get that image out of your head.
