Friday Bites! - Your Friday Snack Attack! - This Week: A Trio Of Walgreens “Nice” Snacks

by MBIP


Walgreens have a line of different types of food that are in a “Nice” category.

They have Nice Pizza, Nice Candy, Nice Saltine Crackers and yes, they have Nice Snacks.

So let’s head on over to Walgreens and start this week’s snacking and cracking post!

——

Walgreens By The Mall

Here we are at the Peoria Walgreens right across the street from the mall.

I’ve just finished my daily mall walk, so I feel like I deserve some snacks, let’s go to the snack aisle and begin this week’s search for snackable items.

Houston…we have snacks!

And they appear to be “Nice” snacks. That is what we shall see as we start this week’s snacking session!

Let’s head back to the MBIP World Headquarters Snacking Area!

The MBIP World Headquarters Snacking Area

Here’s the three “Nice” snack bags that I chose: Banana Chips, Peanut Butter Parfait Mix and Wasabi Flavored Soy Snack Mix.

These are three snack items I have never tasted and now let’s sample them and play three rounds of my patent pending game, “Nice Or Not Nice!”

——

“Nice” Snack Number One: Wasabi Flavored Soy Snack Mix

I’ve never had a Wasabi Flavored snack in my life! There’s a first time for everything and today is that day!

The ingredients include: Sesame Sticks, Peanuts, Wasabi Flavored Peas, Chickpeas, Chili Bits and Pumpkin Seeds.

What the fuck are “Chili Bits?” It kind of sounds dirty, but let’s not dwell on that and just keep moving along here.

For starters, I don’t like the color green appearing in my snack mix. It’s not easy being green and it certainly isn’t easy eating green.

This snack mix didn’t really have much flavor to it and the after-taste is kind of like a bad R.E.M. album. Let’s just keep moving along here in snack-land.

And Now It’s Time To Play: Nice Or Not Nice!

This snack is NOT NICE! On to snack number two!

——

“Nice” Snack Number Two: Peanut Butter Parfait Mix

Here’s the second snack item of the day: Peanut Butter Parfait Mix.

The ingredients include: Strawberry Flavored Yogurt Pieces, Peanuts, Peanut Cookie Gems, Peanut Drops and Penut Butter Cups.

What in the fuck are Peanut Drops? That sounds like a Charlie Brown Urine Sample and that’s not appetizing at all! Sheesh!

There’s way too many of the Strawberry Flavored Yogurt Pieces and that’s all you can taste in this snack mix.

Plus all I’m thinking about now is Charlie Brown pissing in a cup. Good grief!

——

And Now It’s Time To Play: Nice Or Not Nice!

This snack is not nice and now I’m waiting to tune in to, “A Charlie Brown Urine Test.” Ugh!

——

“Nice” Snack Number Three: Banana Chips

I’m not a big banana fan, so I don’t know why I chose this snack. I’m already regretting this decision.

Ingredients: Banana Chips. While these don’t make me think about Charlie Brown pissing in a cup, all of a sudden I’m obsessing over monkeys shitting in the wild. Sometimes I hate my mind.

Okay, these are horrible snacks. They have no flavor and the consistency is like eating a slightly sweet poker chip.

Plus now I’m thinking about Davy Jones taking a dump. You do the math on that but anyway you look at it, it’s a shitty equation!

——

And Now It’s Time To Play: Nice Or Not Nice!

Once again, Not Nice is the verdict for this snack item. Walgreens is a liar and now, stay tuned for, “It’s A Wonderful Urine Test, Charlie Brown!”

——

A Video Review Of Walgreens Nice Snacks

I only made it to a little over four minutes in to this video before I shut it off because they never actually say if they think the snacks are nice or not nice. What a fraud of a video!
