"Key Lime." |
Debuting a new, semi-regular feature! I
tryout questionable food items so that you don’t have to in… Steveats. (Note:
Title developed in about 10 seconds of brainstorming.)
I’m a guy
who can’t pass up a deal, even if that “deal” involves clearance aisle dessert
items that are destined for the garbage compacter. JC’s Pie Bites were going
for $0.50 a package at my local Stop and Shop, and unfortunately, they were
appropriately priced.
I’d like to
bring to your attention first the discrepancy between the package image and the
actual pie bite. I expect some embellishment, but goodness, they look like
completely different things! I was assuming I’d get one, nice big ball (heh),
but instead, the balls come three to a sack (heh heh). Also, they are shriveled,
and look like owl pellets or something worse.
As you can see,
they’re dry. These are not juicy balls. The best comparison I can think of for
the strawberry shortcake flavor is the famous Good Humor bars, and they kind of
taste like a drier, worse version of those. The key lime pie bites are even
worse.
I got these
for 50 cents a pack, off the normal price of $1, but both are too much for
these. They’re edible, but they aren’t items I’d ever spend money on again. They’re
the sort of forgettable, sugary candy that works as a novelty, but not a
consistent snack item. Spend your money on actual Good Humor bars instead of these pale imitations.
