Baby Ruth
What Is It: A candy bar consisting of peanuts, caramel, and chocolate nougat. It is a product of Nestle.
Packaging: It has a relatively simple wrapper with a silver colour and Baby Ruth logo. Good enough.
6.5 out of 10
Taste/Final Analysis: This is a very delicious candy bar. The peanuts are the thing that I notice the most and when you add in the milk chocolate and caramel it makes for a rich and delicious bite every time. One of my favourites.

Jujyfruits
What Is It: As the box says chewy, fruity, candy. Flavours include raspberry, lime, lemon, orange, and anise.
Packaging: It comes in a yellow box with bright and vibrant writing on it with a picture of the product on the lower right corner. Pretty good.
7 out of 10
Taste/Final Analysis: This is a sort of cousin to Dots candy. They didn't include cherry here which disappointed me but the raspberry and orange really hit the spot. The other flavours were good for what they were despite not being my personal favourites. This is a lot chewier than the Dots I compared these to. All in all a I think there are better fruity candy options but these aren't terrible.

Chef Boyardee Jumbo Spaghetti And Meatballs
What Is It: A can of spaghetti that tastes like Spaghettios with a (1)giant meatball on it.
Packaging: It has the traditional Chef Boyardee red can. There's not much else special about it visually. Meh.
4 out of 10
Taste/Final Analysis: This was one of the more subpar efforts by Chef Boyardee. The spaghetti tasted like their spaghetti-o's which is fine but they put a whopping one meatball in there. Now I get that it was a JUMBO meatball at least by can standards but still. One! It's a good meatball by can standards but One! Grrr!

Epic Bison Stick
What Is It: 100% natural bison beef stick.
Packaging: It comes in a white wrapper with an awesome picture of a bison on it. Pretty cool.
Taste/Final Analysis: This is pretty much like eating a normal beef stick. The bison tasted fine but they didn't really do anything to enhance it in any way. I didn't hate it or love. It was just sort of there. Jack Links blows this away. I know this is kind of short but there wasn't muchto say here. Sigh.

Private Selection Hard Salami and Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
What Is It: Cold cuts from the Kroger deli.
Packaging: Um it's stuff from the deli so this is pretty much what you're going to get.
5 out of 10
Taste/Final Analysis: The salami had the great flavour that a good hard salami has. I love it with some cream cheese in the middle rolled up but eating it on a sandwich with that sharp white cheddar cheese is pretty darn good. Honestly I could just eat a bag of that cheese and be good to go. All in all two great selections from the Kroger deli.
French Onion Dip Pringles
What Is It: Um French Onion flavoured potato chips by Pringles.
Packaging: Ok they have a green can with 2 potato chips sitting at a table having a date with a bowl of dip in the middle. Adorable.
Adorable out of 10
Taste/Final Analysis: This is a really excellent effort by Pringles. They really pack a ton of French Onion flavour just like a good chip dip. Every chip is just an explosion of awesome flavour. I don't put this above ranch as far as Pringles flavours go but it's darn close.

Hostess Milky Way Brownies
What Is It: Brownies topped with Milky Way candy bar stuff (mostly caramel.)
Packaging: A pretty dandy looking box with some nice gold colours and a big picture of the brownies on it. I liked it.
8 out of 10
Taste/Final Analysis: Well this was one rich tasting brownie. The brownie itself is a rich chocolatey bite and when you add the chocolate from the Milky Way as well as the caramel and you're going to want to drink several gallons of milk afterwards. Very good though.

Hot Pockets Ham And Cheddar
What Is It: The most common of all Hot Pockets these come with ham and liquid cheddar.
Packaging: It comes in a red box with big pictures of the sliced open Hot Pockets. Looks good enough.
7 out of 10
Taste/Final Analysis: This is one of those ultra dependable snacks for me. The combination of the ham and the cheddar is just made for each other. There is more exciting Hot Pockets flavours than this but this will always be one I go back for.

Snyder's Cheddar Pretzels
What Is It: Twisty hard pretzels covered by a cheddar powder.
Packaging: Not much to say here. Most of the frontof the bag has the product picture with an itty bitty block of cheddar.
4 out of 10
Taste/Final Analysis: These were some very tasty pretzels. The powdered cheddar really gives it a sharper, more pronounced cheddar flavour than the normal baked in version. Great product just have some napkins ready because it's messy on the fingers.
