@agnesnutter@hchavers my favorite bit is when farmers spray their grains with round up ( true story) around harvest time to speed up the drying process! Yum! Extra Tasty Breakfast time!
Oh yay! These are actually my favorite of the belvita bars! Cranberry orange are delicious and the chocolate cookies are not bad. Blueberry is good too. Toasted coconut were a complete disappointment.
No thank you. If I am going to eat junk food for breakfast let it be ice cream!!!
When I was 3 mom had dad feed us breakfast. He fed us ice cream. Mom yelled down from the upstairs, “The kids are so quiet. What did you feed them?”. In a guilty voice my dad said, “Ice cream.”. I ran out of the kitchen with my bowl, crouched behind a chair in the living room and ate it as fast as I could thinking mom was going to come downstairs to take it from us. She did not come down that I remember. I got my first ice cream headache which is probably why I remember this.
Yay! More ultra-processed food for the American diet. So relieved that they contain sugar (sugar), bleached flour, canola oil, raisin paste (sugar), polydextrose (sugar), banana puree (sugar), glycerine, invert sugar (sugar), molasses (sugar), and lecithin. And a “bioengineered food ingredient” to boot. Yum!
@MrNews@Pufferfishy Does sugar cause autism now? I thought it was still vaccines. As someone said above the bioengineered ingredient is probably one of the grains modified for pest resistance or something like that. Wouldn’t want the non-GMO activists to go bananas.
@sammydog01 I’m not an activist - but count me among the “non-GMO” folks.
Not because I’m worried that they’re going to make me grow a 3rd arm (arguably a cool thought), but because they taste like shit. Or more accurately - they taste like nothing.
One of the down-sides of being over 50 is remembering when food had flavor. Eating “generally available” tomatoes and corn now is like chewing on flavorless crap. And good luck finding a GMO carrot that doesn’t taste like the dirt it was grown in. Buying corn on the roadsides in rural Ohio used to be an absolute highlight of summer - now that it’s all Monsanto Frankencorn I don’t even bother. I can butter & salt wet cardboard and get the same taste & texture.
I for one am grateful I have space for a, and know to, garden, and that heirloom seeds exist.
@Pufferfishy@sammydog01 that’s not GMO, though; that’s using all methods I producing plants that ship better and have higher yields. It wasn’t genetic modification that produced bland tomatoes and Red Delicious apples. Mostly genetic modification is used for pest resistance. Tastelessness came from traditional seed selection for traits other than taste.
I was just lamenting how good pork chops tasted when I was young. When the industry decided to breed leaner hogs and push them as the “other white meat” good pork chops disappeared.
@craigthom It’s been over a year since the last time we ordered stroopwaffles from Meh, and I still have zero interest in ordering or consuming more of them.
@craigthom I’m sure they are much less sweet, but they are higher in banananess, which is a down-check for me personally. There is History. And even if they were cranberry-orange, the quantity involved would cause me to be leaving piles of them out for whoever wanted them. It is rare for something to be welcome for long enough to go through that many.
I’ll be making ice cream sandwiches out of these because I hate breakfast. Might make a belbananavita crust chocolate silk pie too. These quantities allow for experimentation…and failure.
Chiming in to say these are pretty good, not cloyingly sweet, a good banana flavor, and a decent textured bite from the various grains present in it. There were way too many in this package though and I have handed out a couple of boxes already.

When writing the name of this fruit, the important part is knowing when to stop. Two "na"s, no more.
@werehatrack Na na na na na, na na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.

“Contains a bioengineered food ingredient.” I don’t see “Mystery Meat” as an ingredient, so what is it?
@hchavers The wheat and/or cornstarch, most likely. To increase yield, make it resistant to insecticide, etc.

I just bought 30 of these at Woot- they were delivered yesterday. Guess I should have waited.
/giphy National-faint-partridge
@sammydog01 I just bought them like 5 hours ago too and they are coming next week.
@sammydog01 thankfully the kind people at Woot! processed me a refund.
@mehrrychristmas Damn it, I opened mine and had to eat them.
@sammydog01 you opened all the boxes? Maybe you can rerun the remaining ones? Idk
Aw, these are my favorite. I don’t know if I could eat 120 of them though
@ironcheftoni Sometimes you just gotta step outside your comfort zone.
@awk @ironcheftoni YOU CAN DO IT!!!
@ironcheftoni You just gotta break it down into manageable quantities - say, 3 sessions of 40.
@ironcheftoni you are the Iron Chef Toni! You got this!
Warning: BelVita is NOT a suitable substitute for Velveeta! (article)
@Rowsdower I know, it just does not melt properly, and I’m told that it makes the worst Mac-n-Cheez ever.
Food of questionable quality from Meh… my only weakness.

What is the noun and what is the adjective?!
Soft Baked Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies?

@mcanavino Open your grammar textbook to the chapter on “attributive nouns”.
@mcanavino
My sources say no
/8ball Will trying to over-analyze this cause insanity?
@awk So when describing your mom, would ‘morbidly’ be an attributive or adjective?
I’m just gonna go ahead and cut this off early.
Really hope my phrase isn’t indicative of the product!

@blabounty Was she in Game of Thrones?
@blabounty @robson and the new Star Wars movies.
@blabounty @robson yes she was
in GOT. Her name is Gwendoline Christie.
Oh delightful. I really hope there aren’t any leeches in these! Horrible order number.
/giphy halting-hellish-leech
@meow57 well, that went better than expected!
Well I ordered some of these, trusting Meh not to steer me wrong. Meh has only the highest quality products.
Wait a minute, what am I saying?
@robson Earlier you must have bought and drank the koolaid they were selling?
@Kidsandliz @robson Or maybe the recaffeinated coffee?
@robson it expires in. October…don’t forget that part.
At least these don’t contain inulin. It has that going for it.
@heartny So you say these are solar, not wind powered? Okay now.
@blaadnort Probably not wind powered.
@blaadnort @heartny I think it’s geothermal. Eat a couple and you can feel the subsurface rumbles.
And I just bought these in Woot earlier today. I hope I can cancel that order from them. I think it was like 30 for $15.
@mehrrychristmas mine already arrived. They are good, but I think I’ll be done with them after thirty. I don’t have the freezer space for all these.
@craigthom @mehrrychristmas I had one from Woot today- they seem like decent purse snack food. I just need to remember I have 120 in a box somewhere.
@craigthom that’s a good idea freezing them. I have a small deep freezer so I might do that or give some away if push comes to shove.
My 7 year old loves everything banana. How could I go wrong with these!
/giphy steady-unpopular-goblin
I would love to try these but my home has no more room for bulk snack packs. Sell a 6-pack instead of a 24-pack!
Kicker is actually funny, thank you. Prefer these jokes or “does it have hdmi?” jokes to margarita jokes because I’m already salty enough.
Got to be better than those fruit bars.

@Springbank I forgot all about Slice.

Oh yay! These are actually my favorite of the belvita bars! Cranberry orange are delicious and the chocolate cookies are not bad. Blueberry is good too. Toasted coconut were a complete disappointment.
@ivannabc the Cranberry Orange ones are a favorite around here, too.
@ivannabc @Thumperchick I like the crispy blueberry ones but it looks like I’ll be eating banana for a very long time.
I’ll bite!
/giphy instinctive-unhealthy-swing
Why am I waiting for them to launch?? Yikes!!!
Oooh! We just discovered these in our household, so good timing! Has anyone frozen them?
/giphy exclusive-gloomy-cheetah
Going to find out how well these freeze. Should satisfy snack needs for the next 5 years or so at the rate I’ll eat them.
/giphy fair-loathsome-newt
OK, seriously, who’s going to eat just one of these “per serving”??
Oh boy. Another Halloween treat order.
/giphy necrotic-flecked-eggnog
@bbrocker That is one of the more ominous order numbers - and hilariously disconnected giphy results - that I’ve seen in a while.
Perfect breakfast … soft and stale bah-nahanah cooookies!

Just got my thirty from Woot yesterday, so I tried one.
It’s OK, but I think I’ll be sick of them after thirty.
@craigthom It’s been over a year since the last time we ordered stroopwaffles from Meh, and I still have zero interest in ordering or consuming more of them.
@werehatrack these are not nearly as cloyingly sweet as stoopwaffels. Those are like chugging syrup.
@craigthom I’m sure they are much less sweet, but they are higher in banananess, which is a down-check for me personally. There is History. And even if they were cranberry-orange, the quantity involved would cause me to be leaving piles of them out for whoever wanted them. It is rare for something to be welcome for long enough to go through that many.
@craigthom @werehatrack more for me. Individually packed so don’t want any more of the not individually packed ones anymore

@TouranRowan agreed. They are a hit with the hungry and homeless, one of the reasons I bought so many
