Taki Mini Snack Bites Review

In our area, we have a few discount food stores, when stores order too many of a product that doesn't sell, that's where they show up. Pop Momma and I frequent one, where you can get fresh sliced Amish meats or cans of soda for $.24 each because the box was destroyed. But on one of Pop Momma's last trips she came across these. 

Takis Fuego Mini Snack Bites. That's right, according to the package they're "Hot chili pepper and lime snack bites with an (imitation) mozzarella filling" boy, doesn't that last part get you all excited for the imitation cheese goodness? So, I figured that we'd give them a shot. 

Ok, so, strike 1, the packaging says that there is 60 bites inside, I counted about 55 plus parts, so, they've got that against them, but, I was still going to hear them anyway. So, set the oven to 375° and awaited my taste test that was 11-15 mins away. 

I pulled them out at 12, because there was too much cheese loss. So, I picked one up and the cheese wasn't stringy, which set off all kind of alarm bells for me. Also, the cheese was PURE white. But, I was doing this for you guys, so, I took a bite. 

The seasoning hits you right away, if you like Takis, you'll like that, but as you chew...and chew...and chew, you get another taste. The texture of these is like a firm ravioli. I should add that these are made by Tostino's who also makes Pizza Rolls, so I was expecting THAT texture, not this one. After the seasoning flavor wears off, taking a bite of these tastes like microwave dinner Mac and cheese. Where the cheese is a bit watery, and the pasta is a bit too chewy. I thought they were ok, Pop Momma really enjoyed them. So, safe to say, for her they will be a re-buy, for me, I'll probably eat them again, but it wouldn't bother me if I never had another.

Pop Daddy's Halloween Countdown Day 53

Day 53: A little bit back, I reviewed my favorite Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode. This Sunday marks 30(32 this month, Oct, 2022) years since the first one titled "The Simpsons Halloween Special" (and the only one to take place in a treehouse!) So, I thought I'd share with you my 10 favorite segments in chronological order.  The Raven (The Simpsons Halloween Special) I remember missing most of the episode and this being the only segment I saw. James Earl Jones narrates a telling of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" with Homer. This one doesn't bring the laughs, it gets spooky and this was actually the first time I had heard The Raven.  The Monkey's Paw (Treehouse of Horror II) Like with the Raven, this was my first hearing of this tale, as the Simpsons take a vacation in the middle east, they bring home a Monkey's Paw, but each wish has dire consequences...(I use "the turkey's dry!" When I need t...

Pop Daddy's Halloween Countdown Day 35

Day 35 (Posted October 5th, 2020): It's hard to believe that this month marks the 30th anniversary of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror anthology episodes. (on 10/25, maybe I'll pick my 3 favorite independent segments) which means 3 years from now, there will be over 100 segments(2022: One year to go!). There are many good ones, but in my opinion, the best collection in my opinion is Treehouse of Horror V.  .      Still known as the Simpsons Halloween special  After an Outer Limits-esque intro, the first segment is called "The Shinning" it revolves around the Simpson family agreeing to watch Mr. Burns' lodge for the winter. After Burns cuts the cable and takes the beer, which causes Homer to slowly descend into madness. While it turns out Bart has psychic skills. Sound familiar? It's a direct spoof of The Shining and this one brings the laughs. Segment two: "Time and Punishment" begins with Homer breaking the toaste...

Pop Daddy's Favorite Music Videos: Part 1

Image
"I'm scared about my future and I want to talk to you." Ok, so, chances are, if the music video looks like an old timey movie or tv show, you most likely will be seeing it here. This is one of my favorites and I should add that these videos are in no particular order. So, I love the old 1950's sci fi aesthetic with the alien planet, flying saucer and giant robot. Plus, while not a big Coldplay fan, the song is a nice one. Link below, enjoy! Coldplay - Talk
