Review: Green Giant Multigrain Barbecue Sweet Potato Chips

Today's review is the introduction of another one of mega conglomerate General Mills' products to the blog with this Green Giant Multigrain Barbecue Sweet Potato Chips.  With that, I was reminded of one of the more terrifying things that I've ever seen on television.  Most of us today know the cartoon version of the Jolly Green Giant mascot and his little cartoon buddy that they use in the marketing on television, print, etc.  Have you ever seen when they used a real person painted green that dwarfed the made up set that they had put together?  I saw it once in a television special about old commercials and it was terrifying.  What is also terrifying is that I've now got the Green Giant song from the commercials stuck in my head.  AHHHH!!!!  Anyway, this was a sample package that I got in the mail to demo one of their new products (I'll get to the core Sweet Potato Chips later) and since this was a sample, the measurements are kind of skewed compared to what you'd find in the store, but I'll list them anyway.  This was a 0.8 ounce bag and had 110 calories.  Of those 110 calories, 45 came from fat, so that's not particularly wonderful, but I guess it could be worse.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Honey Barbecue Cracker Chips

Once again, I'm the victim of a huge food conglomerate constantly introducing new flavors that need to be reviewed like the others have been.  In this case, it's Kellogg's adding yet another flavor to their Special K Cracker Chips line with this Kellogg's Special K Honey Barbecue Cracker Chips that popped up out of nowhere as I was meandering through my local Marsh grocery store recently.  Honey Barbecue seems like a natural flavor to add to the Cracker Chips line as I would guess it is one of the more popular potato chip flavors out there.  This box set me back $2.49 at the sale price and each box comes in at four ounces with 3.5 servings at 110 calories per serving.  As a frame of reference, Kellogg's considers a serving to be roughly 27 cracker chips, so when you think about it, that's actually quite a bit because each of these chips is roughly a little bigger than a silver dollar.

Review: Walden Farms Original Barbecue Sauce

Sometimes I look at the amount of Walden Farms reviews that I've done on this site and start to feel good about myself thinking that I've knocked out a decent sized portion of their product catalog.  When I look at their actual website, I'm sadly mistaken because there are a ton of their products that I haven't reviewed yet and I've got a while to go and that leads me to my next review of their Original Barbecue Sauce.  I've done a previous review of their Thick 'N Spicy sauce on WouldIBuyItAgain.com before and liked it, so I was anxious to see if I'd have the same feelings about their Original sauce as I did about that one.  As with all their products, this one is calorie and sugar free.  I picked up a twelve ounce bottle of this at Kroger for $3.69.

Walden Farms Reviews from WouldIBuyItAgain.com

I've already done a Walden Farms review here at Crazy Food Dude and there will be more to come, but like I mentioned in that post, I have done some previously at WouldIBuyItAgain.com.

Since I've reviewed some of those products before and my reviews are on record on the web, I will not be reviewing those products again on this site in order to avoid redundancy (and excess typing).  So, if you are interested in reviews of the following products (the Buy It/Fly By It rating system added below):

*Blue Cheese Salad Dressing (BUY IT)
*Honey Dijon Salad Dressing (FLY BY IT)
*Caesar Salad Dressing (BUY IT)
*Peanut Spread (FLY BY IT at the time, but I have changed that opinion now)
*Thick 'N Spicy Barbecue Sauce (BUY IT)
*Chocolate Syrup (BUY IT)

Head on over and check out that post with the reviews at WouldIBuyItAgain.com.  Thanks!
