Folks,
Just to make it official. After tasting EVERYTHING, there is nothing more disgusting than the peanut butter anytime bars!!! 2nd place goes to the slimy chicken noodle thing. (Sorry wherever America, this is gross!) I can't totally complain though. I have lost 80+ pounds on the program in 8 months. -D |

Just goes to show... I actually still chose to buy the peanut butter Anytime Bars somewhat regularly even after 5 years on maintenance! And the homestyle chicken with noodles is one of our shelf staples.

I would probably agree with you on the chicken noodle thing IF I had ever gotten the courage to try it. I think it is the ONLY thing I've never eaten! I had one sitting in my cupboard for at least 4 years until I finally threw it out.
I like the peanut butter anytime bars, and so does my toddler (I have to actually HIDE when I eat them or I have to share). Other than the chicken noodle, the only thing that I wont eat is the lasanga... but I have not tried it in many years so perhaps I should try again and see if my taste buds have changed. I dont care for the chocolate graham twists, but they are somewhat edible. I'm slowly starting to kinda like the maple nut cereal. I used to like the tuna kit, but I had one the other day and didn't enjoy it as much as I used to. Taste buds can really change after a while! Take care, Angela -------------------- 11/11/02 292.9

I hate all the anytime bars but I actually like the homestyle chicken and noodles, it is one of the only shelf stable meals I like. I also love the chocolate grahm twists

It is funny how everyone has different tastes. I buy the homestyle chicken and noodle and add chicken broth to make more of it and have it with a package of everything crackers. It tastes fine to me. The graham crackers smell rancid to me so I dont buy them anymore. I dont like the peanut butter anytime bars because of the gritty feeling in my mouth. It is fun to see what people like and dislike. I loved the cherry chocolate cheesecake and I am so bummed that they no longer have it.

The worst so far for me was the potstickers. It was so bad I couldn't even finish it and I actually wanted to cry. LOL
PB anytime bars are ok, I can handle them. --------------------  |

I had the Rising Crust Pizza last night and The H had the Spaghetti and meatballs. He asked if I had more tonight. I usually let him have a meal when I don't want to cook anything extra. H likes the oatmeal and the Breakfast Scramble.
The worst one for me is the Potstickers. Maybe it is the soy/tofu or the sesame oil. I don't know. I have one meal that is ready to expire so I will definitely have to volumize that one just to give it a second chance. -------------------- My New Years' Goal

PS I don't like the Anytime Peanut Butter bars either. I have one pack left (I subbed from the recall) and then I will be taking the JC multivitamins.
I'd appreciate some suggestions on how to make the potato garlic soup better. Thanks. -------------------- My New Years' Goal

I ate a PB anytime bar the first day and never touched'em again. It turned to spackle (sp?) in my mouth and got stuck in my teeth. Taste wasn't so great either.
Beef and Mashed Potatoes tasted like barf (kinda looked that way too)...  Chicken Salad has a sour tart taste to me. A poster on another topic referred to it as cat food...  As for the Potato soup, I like to add some FF shredded cheese and chives after heating it up. But it's still not very good. Has a burnt garlic taste. My absolute favorite is Fish and Chips!!!! I eat this 2-3 times a week! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!!!!

The Official WORST is the JC Tuna Salad Kit.
Our cat turned her nose up at it- how's that?! And I like tuna- even in a can (white albacore). I DID try JC's about 3x- no more. Ever. Never. Ever. Did I mention never ever again?! -------------------- 11/07 SW 166.2

Cltmommy: To make the Fish and Chips taste best, I microwave them but then put the Fish under the broiler for a few minutes on each side to give them some crunch! Enjoy!
