Ooo, that’s great to hear! Sounds like the meat factor, then, is more of a fun novelty element of the bottle when gifting it to someone, or might intrigue people to spend a little extra to try it for themselves. Thanks so much for providing this intel! Read more

I’ll be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever heard this opinion expressed by a single human being on planet Earth. Definitely a nice quiet candy to eat in the theater! Read more

Next week, we’ll be publishing some recipes that encourage you to play with those turkey leftovers in unique ways. Excited to roll out some inspiration! Read more

Utterly scientific! And I agree with you; the higher outer walls of the mini cup mean you get to have more fun nibbling away at them. It doesn’t feel like the whole thing is at risk of smooshing immediately, like the full size cup. (That’s also why I don’t like the unwrapped super-tiny ones sold in tubs at Trader Read more

Yes! I frankly found it to be a bizarre experience, and I didn’t like dealing with that thick shell. Totally overshadowed the gummi center, in my opinion. Did you enjoy? Read more

I’m in awe of how much I agree with this ranking. I’d probably swap jelly beans and licorice, but...that’s about it! Swedish Fish will always be best. Only other consistency I can think of are Jujubes/Jujyfruits, but they’d be even lower than Haribo. Read more

That’s a great idea! Our immediate family has been having trouble paring down our typically 40-person menu to a four-person feast; it’s hard to give any dish the boot. But maybe we just commit to cooking those items in advance, or after the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone. Read more

I’m interested to hear what you don’t like about them. Is it the flavor, texture, etc? Read more

You’re not far off—25% of respondents said “Catering to difficult family members”! Read more

Your Palmer stance is reasonable and I respect it Read more

This is an EXCELLENT idea. We’ll get to work for the next round! Read more

I believe that’s right! The product photos show the romaine in a plastic bag, and the recall indicates “packaged single head romaine lettuce.” Read more
