Almond Dream Pumpkin spice almond drink with cinnamon: Purchased from Whole Foods, I was hopeful about this seasonal pumpkin spice almond drink, but it became immediately obvious upon tasting that this is meant as a flavoring for coffee or other beverages, rather than something desirable to drink on its own. I tried adding it to chia seed pudding and even to oatmeal, but the flavoring just made me want to eat those things even less. Too sweet and artificial tasting. 2.0/5.0

BAD Roll the Spice Pumpkin Spice Granola: Standing for Bad and Delicious, BAD aims to rid the world of artificial snacks "masquerading as health" with a combination of grain-less ingredients like sprouted nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts), shredded coconut, and ginger spice. Despite the lack of grains, I still found myself eating it largely in place of regular granola (in yogurt, milk).

Covered Bridge Montreal steak spice seasoning potato chips: Hailing from New Brunswick, Canada, these crisps taste most strongly of black pepper, though the overall flavor is less robust than I expected it to be. Onion and garlic add to the savory flavor (there isn't any sweetness, like some American steak sauces). I do like how the chips are irregular, with a browned edge from the skin of the spuds. 3.0/5.0

Lay's India's Magic Masala: Another bag of chips brought back from India, this distinctive snack is flavored with turmeric, cumin, dry mango powder, and chili powder. It reminds me of some of the delicious fried potato straws I've had from Indian grocery stores. The flavor has heat but is more spiced than spicy. 3.0/5.0

Neal Brothers Montreal steak spice kettle chips: These crunchy and thickly-cut chips have a distinctive spiced and smoky flavor, true to its labeling. On the downside, I found the seasoning to be very high. Good in small quantities. 3.0/5.0

Peeled Snacks Southwest Spice Peas Please Snack: If you think about it, pea snacks are pretty weird, a compost mix of ground grains and vegetables reconstituted and shaped to resemble their original form. Imagine if corn chips looked like baby corn, or if potato puffs were shaped like fingerlings. Nonetheless, this organic take on pea snacks is pretty indistinguishable from others I've tried, with the same light texture, yet fried, oily aftertaste that leaves your fingers as greasy as if you just ate potato chips. The Southwest flavor has ... (read more) 2.5/5.0
