Onion Ring pringles - brought to work

Disgusting hot and sour soup from pressureluck.com

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.

September 2018 local items

President's Choice has come out with weirdly flavoured pizzas. I didn't try this one because my brother ate it.

Brett's Ice Cream in Kanata North.  You can't go inside.  You just order at the window.  I had a chocolate shake which tasted good but was too small relative to the high price.

Walmart snacks: English bonbons and Sizzlin Sweet & Sour Pringles (tastes like General Tao)

I went to check out a new Chinese/French bakery called Oui8.  It has very short hours so I was lucky to get in before closing time.  This random assortment (5 items) was around $20 or $25. WTF. I won't be going back there, based on price and taste.  The 3 items I tasted so far were substandard (not enough sugar and wrong texture).  I suspect the chef is putting her own spin instead of using Candian-style recipes.

Finally I also tried the "Fruity Cone" from Chocolats Favoris new Kanata location.  It was waffle cone with chocolate ice cream, fresh strawberries and liquid milk chocolate on top which hardened on the drive home.

Donuts were bland but at least individually wrapped

We had to throw out the potato salad without eating it.  The muffin mix was crumbly!

Nilla Banana Pudding cereal tasted like corn pops plus fake banana extract

I could only find these two of the new Lay's flavours.  The bacon wrapped jalapeno popper was bland and the Chesapeake Bay crab spice tasted like celery.

I think I gave this to my coworker

These popcorn balls were $0.50 each.  No flavour other than sugar.  Would not buy again.

Graeter's ice cream came in a fancy container but it tasted like non-gourmet ice cream

July 2017 local items

I found this recipe online for lemon butter garlic chicken.  Holy cow, it was a keto or paleo recipe that used 1 stick of butter and 1/2 cup oil.  I left out the oil but the butter was disgusting.  I threw it out.

Hawaiian Barbecue kettle chips with avocado oil - they just tasted like BBQ chips to me.

Ben & Jerry's non dairy ice cream. YUCK

chopped spinach nuggets from walmart.

Volcaaaanos from Chile (chocolate pyramids containing caramel), Cherry Cola Twizzlers (yuck), and Vietnamese coconut crackers

A visit to Sugar Marmalade: "assorted balls"

mango tapioca drink

Taiwanese shaved chocolate ice

Strawberry limeade

Fish sticks

Fried chicken chunks meal. There is 1/2 an egg under the pile of chicken

Fried chicken chunks with sauce and moving bonito flakes all over the top

French fries with sauce and moving bonito flakes all over it

pancakes and ice cream with mango

Oreo cheesecake

sesame ice cream with giant tapioca balls, corn flakes and sesame panna cotta

another honey comb

Terrible garbage low quality ice cream. Do not buy.

All I can taste is butter.
