  Looks Like...  Made like a Pot Noodle. Add water, 3 minutes, stir, eat.. Tastes Like.. Very metallic, and somewhat tasteless. Every so often you get a nice fruity burst, but those moments are few and far between. Rating : 3/5 - Not the worst porridge ever, but definitely not the best. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I've never been a fan of porridge. I've really tried to like it, but I can't. I've tried all sorts, including the ones in pots - they are always gloopy and sickly sweet - two mouthfulls and I've had enough. I don't think I'll bother with these. |

Gawd, has it been that long?? I'm not done with the last one, but truth be told, home-life has been a bit chaotic of late. Anyhoo.. Another box arrived, today. Cheat Sheet   Looks Like...  Tastes Like.. It's alright, I suppose, but.. daaaamn, was that a quick Migraine attack!! Tastes like a Kit Kat, but more chocolatey than wafers. The texture was, in fact, more like a Malteser Teaser bar, with it being mostly chocolate with little chunky bits inside. Rating : 3/5 - Mum enjoyed it much more than I did. I can eat tons of Maltesers, or Terry's Chocolate Orange segments without a migraine, but Nestle and Cadbury spark me off near-instantly. ... Go figure.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I have to be in the mood for a KitKat. I like them occasionally. My wife bought me the stupidly expensive (for what it is) KitKat Sensations giftbox for my birthday in January... last year. It's still unopened. Cadburys chocolate seems to have increased in sweetness since being taken over by the Yanks. |

  Mugshots now come in pots, apparently...?! Looks Like...  Tastes Like... It's a bit creamy, but not Cream of Chicken creamy. It's just kind of a bland tasteless creaminess. Rating : 1/5 - Not a lot to it, and as with all MugShota that I've ever had, some of the pasta bits are uncooked and crunchy. Fucking mugshots... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I don't mind the normal Mugshots (the ones you make in a cup), but you are spot on - there's always some uncooked/crunchy pasta, no matter how long you leave them to soak up the water. This one doesn't particularly appeal though. Roast chicken flavour even sounds bland. I like a bit more zing to my snacks. |

  Looks Like..  Tastes Like.. Odd. Tangy, but sweet. That odd kick that you get from sparkling water, mixed with the sweet taste of the mango, and... eeeeuw, the cidery taste, too. A very curious combination. Rating : 2/5 - it was nice at first, but seemed to get worse as it went.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

  Looks Like...  Tastes Like... A bit like that stale chocolate taste that your Nan always seemed to buy from the market. I can't decide if that's the salted caramel, or the vegan-ness. Rating : 2/5 - Definitely not the best vegan chocolate I've had this week. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

  Rear-blurb Looks Like..  Tastes Like.. Kind of a weird sort of smelly-foot smell, upon opening the bag. The taste wasn't awful, but it's not very fruity, and the smelly foot aftertaste wasn't particularly pleasant. Nah.. Rating : 1/5 - Others might like these, but I sure as hell don't. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Have you ever seen a jackfruit? Huge, ugly bastards that'll kill you dead if they fall on you! > Reveal 🔎 This thread reminds me - I must get back to those bizarre foreign foodstuffs... |

If a fresh jackfruit tastes as nasty as this stuff, I'm happy that I haven't ever tasted it before!!

I have a Filipino work colleague that loves it. But then he loves boiling peanuts in their shells too (which smells absolutely fucking rank - seriously!)

|edit| I accidentally posted this to the Word of the Week topic, last week, and only just noticed.. Sorry!! |edit|  Looks Like...  There's three in the box. Tastes Like... I've been looking forward to these. They're kinda soft, insanely coated, and looked really appetising. ... I am so disappointed, right now, If you've ever tasted the results of a child's baking toy thing, eg an ezbake oven, or similar, then this taste is familiar to you. It "wants" to taste like something good, but ends up tasting like crappy half cooked play-doh. Rating : 2/5 - The chocolate coating was alright, I suppose.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Why do these companies go to all the effort to get good ingredients and then turn them into something shite?

  An edible laundry sheet? Looks Like...  Roughly 2/3 the size/shape of a weetabix, and about half as thick. Tastes Like... .. Peanut butter! Chewy, but dense. SO dense.. If the country went to actual rationing, one of these would easily be a solid meal. There are little nuts everywhere!! Rating : 4/5 - quite nice, but .. that's a price!!! Note : This is from last months box, and I only just found it stuffed in amongst all the oddball stuff like the Spinach Straws, which you just know are never going to get eaten... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

  Looks Like..  Three little squares, roughly the size of a Liquorice Allsort if it were blown up, 2x wide/high/deep Tastes Like... I was expecting a thicker centre. When it said "gooey", I was thinking like how a cookie centre is gooey.. but .. no, it was actually gooey, like a Rolo gooey.. It was nice, but has left that horrible aftertaste that Salted Caramel does, Rating : 3/5 - Why are all the chocolates full of salt, nowadays?! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Sound waaaay too sweet and sickly for my liking. Don't enjoy caramel/gooey things that much.

A new box arrives!! Cheat Sheet Spoiler : Peek inside to see which of this months I'm really really really not looking forward to trying... > Reveal 🔎 Meanwhile...   Looks Like...  Tastes Like... Exactly as you'd expect.. no surprises, here. Rating : 3/5 - They are nice, but I think I prefer my buttons without crunchy bits. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

That's not what I was expecting - I thought it'd be crunched up smarties encased in chocolate, not whole ones! I looked at the cheat sheet... Is that wrong of me? > Reveal 🔎 |

  Mmmm.. Milkshake... Looks Like..  Half a pint.. Half a bleedin' pint.. £1.50 for half a pint of milkshake. And it's not even milk!!! Tastes Like... Definitely Oaty. A bit like those Protein bars I've been having from these. It's not "quite" chocolate, and definitely tastes .. wrong... But not wrong, bad. Wrong, different. It tastes ok, is what I'm saying. Rating : 2/5 - Maybe if I'd've got a whole sodding pint, I might've given it 3... Geeze, prices, these days!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
