We are now up to Day 5 of New and Seasonal Products Week. This is not new, having been introduced last fall, but it is only seasonally available.
I didn't mind the flavor of these. In fact, it's rather nice. But they are just way too sweet. The sweetness hit like a sugar bomb on first tasting. I've had more on two subsequent days, and the bombing feels a little less intense, but it's still excessive.
Will I buy it again?
No.

There may be some flavor buried in there (personally, I think it's some stray aromatics coming in via the nose), but it's negligible. All I taste is sugar sugar sugar sugar. Which is too bad, because conceptually this is a good idea. In practice: run like the wind.
Wow. These are in my top 5 TJs pumpkin items. On my 3rd box now. You just need some milk to cut the sweetness.
ReplyDeleteI'm confident that ours is a minority opinion, and yours the majority opinion.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention that wretched apostrophe problem.
ReplyDeleteDon't get ahead of me. That's tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt's also worth mentioning that these are a much smaller package than regular joe-joe's yet the same price. Too sweet for me too yet they evaporated quickly from my office kitchen...!
