Vegan Yum Or Blech Review
Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2004 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
Every once in a while I order snacks from VeganEssentials. A recent selection:
- Sharkies fruit chews. Yum! Not as substantial-feeling as, say, preservative-pumped generic supermarket fruit chews, but more than adequate at the fruitiness and snackiness.
- Let's Do ... Organic Gummi Bears got quite the approval rating in this corner of the Salon office. "Wheat Free" in French is evidently "Sans Blé", and you can probably translate "Oursons aux Fruits Biologique Bonbons Jujubes" yourself.
- Tubi's Organic Black Licorice proves a fine licorice, the equal of any other.
- Pumpkorn: I just could not stop eating this, even though it was sort of overseasoned and a little bitter. So why did I keep eating it? Because I was working and didn't want to get up.
- Do not order nor eat Audrey's Raw Food Bars. Several tasters and I agree on this. Crumbly, bitter, fake-tasting, overall shiver-producing in a bad way. Ech!
