Whole Foods organic mango greek yogurt: Very strange flavor that is reminiscent of cottage cheese. Watery for Greek yogurt. Only saving grace is the little cubes of mango throughout, which are good. Yogurt leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. 1.5/5.0

La Violeta candies: While these violet, miniature flower-shaped candies are cute, they are the worst thing I have tasted in a long time. I had to spit it out, which is a rarity. It smelled and tasted like cleaning detergent. 0.5/5.0

163 Vietnamese Sandwich milk tea with boba: When I end up in Chinatown, I always attempt to find a decent bubble tea shop. Did I find it in this highly rated spot? Alas, no. The tea was diluted, the sugar crystals not fully dissolved such that every few sips, I'd get a crunch. The boba was even worse, with a mushy texture that was far too soft. Which leaves me with the question: is there any decent bubble tea to be found in Boston's "Chinatown"? 1.5/5.0

Larabar cashew cookie: Personally, I'm not a fan of health energy bars with a shiny, slick coating that reminds you of a factory. Calling this cookie flavored is a stretch. Chewy and dense texture. 2.0/5.0

I Mei sesame cream wafers: I was excited to find a black sesame flavored snack, but these wafers are unfortunately lacking. The wafer texture and flavor is not unlike a typical ice cream cone (styrofoam-like), and there is only a small amount of cream. The snack would benefit from more cream and sesame flavor and a little more sweetness (there is 4g sugar in one serving). 2.0/5.0

Kung Fu Tea honey lemonade with boba: This "less sweet" drink (at 30% sweetness) was unbalanced, with an unpleasant amount of acidity that built up over time. The real crime was the boba, though, which was so soft it was almost like chewing gum. No bite whatsoever. Quality control is not good in Chinatown. 1.0/5.0
