Annie's Bernie's Farm Cheddar Crackers: This bagged version of the original cheddar bunnies includes an assortment of farm-shaped crackers dyed in shades of orange, purple, red, and yellow (colored from fruit vegetable extracts like beet and blueberry). The crackers are generally flatter than the normal bunny crackers and seem more dense and less crispy. On the whole, I prefer the original bunny-shaped crackers. 2.5/5.0

Maya Kaimal Seeded Multigrain Chickpea Crisps: A gluten-free tortilla chip made from chickpea and rice, with a slight spiced flavor from Asafetida. Its taste is reminiscence of a mild papadum, with a fried vegetable aftertaste. Seasoning is a bit inconsistent but on the whole is light. A decent snack on its own but I imagine would also pair well with a variety of salsas and dips. 3.0/5.0

Sofra Baklava: To be fair, I ate this pastry after it had been sitting out for about an hour or so. Even so, I was shocked by how sickeningly sweet the honey was, which you can see seeping from the edges of the pastry. The one saving grace was the pistachios, which were slightly candied and very good. Otherwise, I would pass on this dessert. 2.5/5.0

Organic Valley Chocolate Lowfat Milk: I got this chocolate milk along with my Chipotle kids' meal (a perfect size for adults who cannot finish a Chipotle burrito, like me). The chocolate flavor was too sweet, but it did have a satisfying richness. I also didn't get sick from the actual food. 2.5/5.0

Tao Kae Noi Spicy Hi tempura seaweed: This version of the TKN seaweed snack is backed with a layer of fried tempura, giving it more rigidity and bite. The flavor is a bit like ramen seasoning packets but with a more prominent nori flavor. While the bag is resealable, the entire package can easily be consumed in one serving – not because it's particularly tasty, but because there isn't much in it. 2.5/5.0

Kettle Sea Salt and Vinegar potato chips: I generally enjoy sea salt and vinegar chips, but I found this brand to be overly acidic and tart. I also prefer thinner and crispier crisps than thickly cut, crunchy ones. 2.5/5.0
