October 2019 Ogdensburg Oddities

Beetology beet juice

Pringles Roasted Turkey

Pecan Pie M&Ms. I am pretty sure I have seen these before and they were gross

The mystery oreos smelled like snickerdoodles.  Some other people described the taste as vanilla frosting from a can.  I did not like the cinnamon coke.

Two new buffalo hot wing flavoured items, chips and popcorn.

Betty Crocker Brittle Mix. I did not make any yet but I have read that Duncan Hines copied this also.

It turns out that spray cheese is actually pretty delicious

I got these 2 frozen pizzas.  The left one is actually pretty good (sort of like NYC flavour).  The right one was so so.

Utz Fried Dill Pickle chips were good.  Marshmallow Fluff - I used it to make the famous fluffer nutter sandwich - kind of disappointing.  I think peanut butter & jam tastes better.

The fruit & chia was actually very nice.  The fruit & oats was disgusting (sour and thick like oatmeal).

I did not like the Maple Creme oreos.  (but my coworkers did). . The Halloween ones are just regular flavour.

The Heluva Good! onion dip flavoured chips were good and so were the mint chocolate oreos.  Both got eaten quickly by coworkers.

I made banana pudding from an internet recipe, instead of having a birthday cake. It was pretty good (but sweet) and my coworkers liked it.  Here is the recipe https://pressureluckcooking.com/recipe/best-banana-pudding/?fbclid=IwAR3I21Iv7OLnKY3izKVBose7t6HWn9bW3ndXUc0aaDzDrlGC2Ej_vjkLUX4

I got these mysterious Baru nuts at costco.  They tasted a lot to me like burned peanuts and they were not worth $17

These are two new flavours of Lay's chips.  The onion rings one was better.

I steamed coworker Dave's zucchini in the instant pot

July 2019 T&T Marvels

Lay's kimchi flavour, and chicken wing flavour and grilled pork

Chips Delight and Matcha oreos - everybody agreed: they are both terrible

We went to check out Marche Adonis again.  Walnut jam.

Les Anis de Flavigny candies and some date, almond, pistachio, walnut, and cardamom squares

Bret's chips from France

I got a new portable charcoal BBQ from Barbecue World. It folds flat.

Miss Vickie's Signatures citrus & black peppercorn chips.  They were just ok.  Not worth paying extra

July 2019 Ogdensburg Oddities

Ben & Jerry Chocolate Shake it Truffles - it was OK but too bland. It really did taste like a chocolate shake.

Hershey's milk chocolate whipped cream

Lay's deep dish pizza and fried pickles with ranch

I got the vegetables at Texas Roadhouse.  Except for the carrots, everything was really salty and oily.

They still had these at Watertown

Throwback Chef Boy-Ar-Dee

Mercer's The Finest Ice Cream - not so good.  It got a little melted and all the ice cream closest to the sides of the box turned into inedible hardened foam

Herr's Smokehouse Maple and Poppables.  Both were OK.

A lot of Bang energy drinks for gym friends

Peach Cheerios

Spindrift sparkling water and Poland Spring sparkling water

Overpriced mini ice creams

Blueberry Cheerios and Marshmallow Moon Oreos

May 2019 Ogdensburg Oddities

There were a lot of new mini ice cream sundaes.  I liked Blue Bunny the best.

New berry and lime flavours of Pepsi.  I still couldn't find the Nitro one.

Saratoga Chips Old Glories - very bland and Topo Chico Mexican mineral water.  I thought Mexico was known for having polluted water.

I like the red stuff better than other fillings such as caramel or chocolate sauce

Cheese & Onion and Spicy Cheddar.  Both tasted pretty much the same.  They're not making any effort at the Lay's idea factory.

I bought this KitKat at Sobeys for the rip off  price of $1.99 and it was horrible.  The girl at the gas station had told me that it tasted more like brown chocolate than white chocolate, but it did not.  It's like white chocolate, slightly sour taste and burns the back of your mouth.  YUCK

I got C4 at Popeye's.  It is like Gatorade powder but sugar free and with caffeine.

April 2019 local items

New flavours of fizzy water.

Crystal Pepsi

Bulk Barn has new chocolate covered almonds.  Left is sugar free with cocoa powder and right is ?? with oreo crumbs

I found this bizarre salami in Superstore with walnuts in it.

I asked my coworker what does CEP mean in Turkish.  He said pocket.  You can keep this box of almonds & dried cranberries in your pocket.
