Trader Joe's sour cream and onion corn puffs: Has a hint of junk-food sour cream & onion taste without all the guilt typically associated with fried snacks of the same flavor. Texture is not the greatest, at an awkward place far from crunchy yet too dense to dissolve gracefully. A great value at $1.99 for a huge bag, though. 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's Bollywood Popcorn: A spiced popcorn with vegan tikka masala seasoning. Manageable and pleasant amount of heat. Surprisingly sweet notes (perhaps from cinnamon)? A unique snack, though not something I want to eat all the time. 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's pumpkin pie mochi flavored ice cream: 'Tis the season for an insane assortment of pumpkin flavored products at Trader Joe's, including pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds. This TJ branded mochi ice cream is so similarly packaged to the Mikawaya brand they also carry that I wonder if it was a partnership.

Trader Joe's gluten-free Joe-Joe's: Generally, I don't purchase gluten-free snacks since I don't have any special dietary needs. This box of Trader Joe's alternative Oreos was purchased for a lab event, so I only sampled a few cookies. The texture of the cookie wasn't significantly different than gluten-full chocolate cookies, though it was slightly more crumbly. I did like how the cookies overall weren't overly sweet. Overall, a decent snack, though I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase them. 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's reduced fat cheese puffs: Usually when a brand had a reduced fat version of a snack, there is a full-fat option too. Not so with this bag of Trader Joe's cheese puffs, as far as I know. Less cheese coating than an alternative like Cheetos, but a decent amount of flavor. A solid but messy snack. 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's Blueberry Poppy Seed Cookies: Finger-length shortbread cookies embedded with dried blueberry pieces. Crumbly and buttery biscuit. Poppy seeds are more decorative than flavorful. Still, the cookies are a solid treat. 3.0/5.0
