The Snack Report: Lance Sprinkled Sugar Sweet Creme Cookie Sandwiches
I saw these cookie sandwiches in the grocery store the other day, and figured since they were seasonal and limited edition they would be a good holiday-time snack report. While I haven’t reviewed them on the blog, I have eaten Lance sandwich crackers in the past and enjoyed them, so I figured these would be pretty good too.
Since I feel like Lance might not be a super well-known brand I decided to do some research on them. The company has actually been around since the early 1900s, though it wasn’t until the 1960s and beyond that they started reaching a wider audience. They now have a wide range of snacks, but most are based upon the sandwich format. Some are savory cracker sandwiches and others, like the ones being reviewed today are sweet cookie sandwiches. So how did these sweet creme cookie sandwiches fare?
The Snack Report: Kit-Kat Vanilla Ice Cream Flavor
One of the more interesting but benign trends Japan has gotten into over the past decade or so has been the rise of fancy flavored Kit-Kat bars. Obviously, in America we simply know them as plain wafer cookies coated in boring milk chocolate and pretty much nobody likes them, since after you’ve eaten one there’s not a whole lot compelling you to ever eat them again. However as weeaboos, otaku, and even people just casually aware of Japanese culture have found out, Nestle actually expanded the Kit-Kat brand into bold, delicious new territories in Japan. There’s more than just the one or two types you see in the west here; Kit-Kats come in dozens of different varieties in Japan, ranging from delicious to interesting to downright insane. Stawberry? Got it. Sweet potato? It’s sweet. Spicy wasabi? You bet your ass they got wasabi. Virtually everything is a Kit-Kat flavor in Japan. Long have I wanted to get my hands on some of these magical flavors, and ironically we ended up finding them not in the multiple Asian grocers we frequent around here, but instead in a gawdy candy store we visited on our trip to Baltimore.

The Snack Report: Pumpkin Spice Oreos
Here we are again, another Oreos review. And yet, despite 4 previous Oreo reviews, I still had to pay for these with my own money. When are you going to throw us a bone Nabisco (or more specifically, some free cookies)? But enough of my grumbling.
It’s kind of funny because about a month ago we saw the regular Halloween Oreos that are just the regular flavor but with orange colored cream. I commented on how it’s lame that for Halloween they just have orange colored cream and not pumpkin flavored cream, and we agreed that would be a tasty idea. Well, about a week later in a different grocery store I stumbled upon the pumpkin spice Oreos. I was very excited. But did they live up to expectations?
Well lookie what I found
The Snack Report: Mckenzie’s Pumpkin Jack Hard Cider
Halloween is less than a week away. We’re excited, you know it. If you’ve been with us from the beginning of the month, you’ll know I took to reviewing some seasonal hard ciders, the only perfect drink of the Fall (sorry pumpkin ale). While reviewing ciders this month, I decided to save the best for last. A cider so delectable, it’s strong and formidable, yet tastes reminiscent of liquid dessert. The last of our seasonal Fall cider reviews is McKenzie’s Pumpkin Jack Hard Cider.
The Snack Report: Angry Orchard Cinnful Apple Hard Cider
Following last week’s post, we’re taking a look at yet another entry in this beloved review series of hard cider beverages. In case you missed it, last week’s review covered Strongbow Honey & Apple Hard Cider. It was really good. This week’s contender? Nooot so good. Angry Orchard’s Cinnful Apple.
