South Beach Living: Cinnamon Raisin Cereal Bars
As some of you may remember, I reviewed Kraft's South Beach bars and found them rather terrible. However, I have been proven wrong, to a certain extent.
I recently bought the cinnamon raisin variety of South Beach's bars. It smelled so good when I opened the package. I was reminded of a Hardee's cinnamon-raisin biscuit. The actual flavor was a surprise, too. The frosting was just the right amount of sweetness. The amount of raisins was reasonable. The soy nuggets [read: the crispies] were crunchy, sweet and had the perfect kiss of cinnamon flavor. I would definitely buy South Beach cinnamon raisin bars again : D

Republic of Tea: Honey Ginseng
I received a Republic of Tea catalogue recently. Included with it was a sample of honey ginseng tea. RT's website lists the tea as follows:
When I opened the sample, I was hit by a heavy honey smell. I boiled some water and made myself a cup of tea. The honey ginseng tea tasted like water with too much honey. Yuck. So much for "subtly sweet tea." I won't be buying that : P
Daily Green Tea - A relaxing blend combines the ancient healthy properties of China green tea with Panax ginseng and full blossom honey. This delicious, subtly sweet tea offers a peaceful sipping experience.

Osem Bamba Peanut Snack
Do you love Cheetos ? Okay, picture eating a handful of those, sans the cheese flavor [read: a plain corn puff]. Now imagine biting into that puff and tasting burnt peanut butter. If you're one of the few people still thinking "Yum, that sounds good," have I got a snack for you. They're called Bamba Peanut Snack and are made by an Israeli company called Osem [Random facts: "one of the largest food corporations in Israel"; Nestle has 50 % of Osem's shares].
Bamba Peanut Snack is made from peanuts, corn,rosemary extract, among other ingredients. There isn't a peanut filling in the corn puffs, just a peanut flavor. I give this snack a big thumbs down : P
*11/13: After 2 attack comments in this review, I would like to add two things:
(1)The information I posted came directly from Osem's website and the bag I purchased. Those were the ingredients listed.
(2)Yes, I did not think Bamba tasted good at all. Maybe you [general you] liked them. That's fine. Comments not related to the product will be deleted.
