Whole Foods/Trader Joe items you were disappointed in

SillyWabbit · Mar 16th, 2008, 05:29 PM

^^I've met a few people that don't like their mac and cheese. I think it depends what you consider good mac and cheese. Some people think that Kraft mac and cheese out of the box is great but 5 year olds don't know any better

We don't have a TJ in Hawaii but whenever I go to the mainland I buy lots of snacks from TJ and/or WF. I haven't come across a snack I didn't like yet, but I did buy a bag of TJ's Gnocchi that wasn't very good.

I also bought dog treats from TJ that I wasn't impressed with. I guess my dog wasn't either b/c he refused to eat them. haha.

I really didn't like their frozen spinach and artichoke dip- the kind that comes shaped in a mold? Way too rich and heavy.

I've bought quite a few things at Whole Foods that made me gag. I bought a bottle of tea that tasted like ass. I can't remember what it was called, but it had some live bacteria stuff floating in it that looked like phlegm.

I have tried two types of hummus from Whole Foods, both of which I could barely eat.

SillyWabbit · Mar 18th, 2008, 04:24 PM

I agree about the sheppards pie. Pretty foul.

I will not lie -- I LOVE the Kraft boxed mac and cheese! And I never even had it as a kid because my mom thought it was unhealthy and gross... now I want it all the time!

Because half of tasting is smelling the aroma, and if that has an ass-like quality I am sure as not hell not going to open my mouth!
