Ultimate Dryness - Rold Gold Garlic Pretzel Waves

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Oh cool, pretzel waves. Seems like a good idea. A wave is like an oceans way of saying “Hello, hope you like salt up your nose.”
If I were to drag you across Mexico and leave you for dead in the desert, you might be thinking that the experience was a little like the last time you bit into a Rold Gold Garlic Pretzel Wave. No amount of added water will ever balance them to make them edible.  I actually think that these bring a choking risk with them because they are so dry. The garlic coating was no help. The flavor was boring and I couldn’t get over the dryness.

But I think it was a good try. Crack open one of these in your hands and it creates a new layer of atmosphere where no life can exist. You have been warned. Don’t fret Rold Gold/Frito Lay, I still love your snacks, but I must ‘wave’ goodbye to this particular one forever.

David Sunflower Seeds Dill Pickle - feeling the pinch

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

I wrote earlier about the fantastic Spitz Dill Pickle flavored sunflower seeds. I still stand by that snack. It’s revolutionary for me because they made eating seeds fun again. Chili Lime flavor from Spitz is awesome too.

Looks like the David sunflower seed people, or ConAgra, their parent company are feeling a little pressured, as they came out with their own version of Dill Pickle. Well if you don’t hear this from anywhere else, I’ll just tell you, don’t bother buying the David Dill Pickle flavor seeds. They suck. They absolutely suck. The initial sour pickle taste erodes instantly to reveal the oversalted undercoating. The wizard behind the curtain. David, did you spend what, all of 5 minutes working out this flavor? And they are REALLY salty. I’m fuming having wasted the $1.29 on this useless bag of David seeds. I feel sorry for the birds that happen by these nasty seeds that will surely will be discarded on campsites across the US. I’m thinking about taking them back to the store, but it’s almost not worth the effort. Hopefully this blog, will make a difference.

Spitz has won this dill flavor war hands down. I’m gunning for you DAVID. You have dishonored me and all of the baseball fans out there with your arrogance. I almost can’t enjoy your salsa and barbecue seed flavors any longer.
