Wonders of Walgreens: Snacktacalysm & Sea Sandwiches

So yay, I've got another small haul from Walgreens, some freebies from a give-away, and a general desire to review these items - What are these items? Miscellaneous snacks really, no particular theme; randomness.

Even though James working at Walgreens now has had his opinions on the store changed a little I still think personally that Walgreens rocks. It's full of awesome and varied snacks and other assorted goodies and they have a lot of products other stores don't have and sometimes rather great prices and sales. Who can deny how cool it was for me to pick up a Ferrara Chocolate Bar for $0.50 U.S.? - It's extremely cool and they even have boxed dried fruit which is delicious and fairly healthy for you at only $1.10 a box U.S. - This counts tax.

Walgreens now even sells alcohol and the shittiest beer imaginable.

'Premium Brew'? I wasn't aware that canned dog piss counted as 'Premium Brew'. - I guess it doesn't help that I don't like beer to begin with but this shit is like a relationship ending bomb, give this to someone you love and care about if you no longer love and care about them because after one of these they won't love or care about you.

But then some of their items are awesome and totally make up for it.. They should be thankful for that because of the one sip of Big Flats I've had they almost lost me as a customer.. I almost wanted to burn the whole damned store down for selling something that horrid tasting..


Stacy's Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips:

Okay now, this little entry came from Walgreens itself and.. Well.. It definitely doesn't make up for the Big Flats, if anything it kind of adds to Walgreens relatively small list of transgressions against me I feel are quite personal.

I've heard a lot of people saying these are great and how enthusiastic they were about these, I frankly don't understand it. In my personal opinion these are shite, they're cardboard with cinnamon and sugar on it - Not even just cardboard, when I ate these their consistency was.. Well.. Difficult to describe, the best I can come up with that I feel fits is that these are heavy, way too thick, and fucking hard - They're not like any chips I've ever had but I guess that's because they're 'Pita Chips'; apparently Pita Chips suck. Not even the cinnamon sugar on these things is good, it tasted bland and under-pronounced, it was like it was barely there and you were just left with a stiff and crusty piece of cardboard that unpleasantly crunched in your mouth - It's rare for something to 'unpleasantly crunch' but these fucking manage it and are quite unnerving and displeasing to eat..

Alternatively holy fucking cock shit but for something claiming to be a healthy alternative these are the exact opposite, they're incredibly unhealthy for you. Seven tiny chips for 140 calories, 5 grams of fat, and hardly a single gram of fiber. Fuck that. These are not any where near good enough to warrant the damage they do.

Flavour Morph Starburst:

So cool story.. Recently Starburst offered a new promotion via their FaceBook page, in spite of my promises to delete my account and never use it again I've opted to compromise and meet myself halfway to simply never actually 'use' it again. However I will manipulate it in order to receive freebies such as these where Starbursts promotion involved them giving away free packs of their new Flavour Morph Starburst candies. What's better than free candy?

...Nothing.. What are you goddamn stupid?

..At any rate after much waiting my prophesied candy finally arrived in all it's glory! Woohoo!

I'm not really impressed by the packaging, let me say that to begin with. It's a marketing flop because it looks just like regular Starburst - Are you really expecting something to sell off the premise of being different when it doesn't look different? Come on. At any rate, there are two flavours featured in the packs I received and I'm not sure if they come in any other flavour other than the flavours I received and I got two of them.. Three if you count the one I got for James.

The flavours I received were Cherry to Cherry Lime and Orange to Orange Strawberry and to be honest when I first opened this package given it's uninspired appearance I didn't hold much hope on their gimmick actually being something they'd be able to pull off; I was wrong. Thankfully I was wrong - The point in fact is that these did actually change flavours and they're very strong and very sweet; I like it! I like it because it's a flavour 'punch', it goes from a solid cherry or orange and genuinely changed to Cherry Lime or Orange Strawberry, you could really tell the difference. Holy felonious flounders, Batman! It's actually awesome!

Free candy? Check and awesome.
Free candy that is really fucking good? DOUBLE CHECK AND RAWK AWHN!

Deerfield Farms Creme Wafers:

And they're Sugar Free too..

They come from Walgreens, when I received them I wasn't too impressed but that quickly changed when I tried them. Believe it or not they're in actuality really deceptively good - It's a snack I never knew I wanted because I've never had or even considered them before, that choice has been rectified; these are yummy.

Now I really like wafers to begin with, wafers are quite good.. An airy and crispy biscuit with creme wedged between it's varying layers, you can't deny the deliciousness of a wafer biscuit. Wafers make things delicious, added to Ice-Cream they enhance the treat greatly and are awesome if you eat the Ice-Cream on them, covered in chocolate and given a creme Peanut Butter filling they become Little Debbie Nutty Bars, and added with a simple layer of candy-bar Chocolate they become Kit-Kat Bars; you almost can't lose when you're dealing with wafers.

These are no exception, they're airy, light, crispy, and flaky.. Mine alternatively are frozen because that's what I do and believe it or not they're really good frozen - There's a pretty healthy helping of creme between the layers of the wafer and when you freeze these biscuits the interesting thing is how the creme between the layers becomes a textural aberration that's both stiff, hard, and soft at the same time offering a new bite to the biscuits and a little more chew for a short period of time. These are quite good, the strawberry is very creamy tasting and just sweet enough, the vanilla has a pleasant and unique flavour, and the chocolate carries with it just enough of a bitter flavour to make it really good - These things have considerably sophisticated flavours for some discount biscuits that came from a Walgreens and I may have found my official favorite biscuits ever. These are awesome, they just go too fast and they're too easy to get addicted on and start eating too many.

Dinner:

Tonight's dinner was Umi no shoyu sandoitchi (Sea-sauce Sandwich) and isn't one I'm super proud of but I'm not terribly unhappy with it for what it was - It's left overs put into meal-form and it's not bad. The biggest complaint I have is that I pan toasted the sandwiches and the top one there decided it was going to crack which kind of irritated me.

The sides? A S'mores Anpan (Sweet Roll) yes, S'mores - And a serving of green beans slightly salted with hot sauce.  As I understand this dinner was very good for what it was so aside from ascetics it's a win!
