New Product Hits & Misses
With over 50,000 products in the average supermarket, people don’t have the time, or the money, to test every product on the shelves and with 15,000 new products every year consumers need to know what’s out there!
So Phil does the testing and the tasting for you and gives the product a rating out of 100 so you know what you can expect when you try something new!
SupermarketGuru does not sell the foods we review, nor receive any compensation from the manufacturers for reviewing or rating them.
Phil taste-tests and judges each product based on the following 8 criteria:
1. (30 points) Taste: The most important attribute of any food
2. (20 points) Value: Is it worth it?
3. (15 points) Health: Based off the nutritional information, is it nutritionally balanced?
4. (15 points) Ingredients: What’s in it, how natural is it?
5. (5 points) Preparation: When applicable, how accurate or good are the directions *
6. (5 points) Appearance: Is it appetizing and does it resemble its photo or description
7. (5 points) Packaging: Is it appropriate for the product and does it have any benefits such as resealability, added freshness, better storage, etc.
8. (5 Points) Sustainability: Is the packaging biodegradable, is it wasteful, is the company endeavoring to offset their carbon footprint?
* products that do not have any preparation will have the full value of these points included in their total score

This is weird there is a whole generation of people who grew up thinking the Whitmans Sampler was the best chocolate ever, and then there is the generation who grew up on Weight Watchers Does anyone really think these are the same people? I dont! One piece of these Pecan Crowns is just one Weight Watchers point sounds good, right? Not! Three little pieces are 160 calories, 10 grams of fat and 24 grams of carbs. Wanna lose weight and be satisfied? Just have one small piece of rich, dark chocolate youll be better off and whats with these ingredients? Retails for $2.99 Whitmans Candies, Inc., Kansas City, MO 888 311 3723

Probiotics are all the rage they balance the good bacteria in our digestive tract. Thats the good news. Some more good news is that Lifeways Wellness bar is one of the few products containing peanut butter that, according to the company, does not buy their peanut butter from the Peanut Corporation of America, which has been implicated in one of the largest food safety scandals ever. Now for the bad news they do not list the types of good bacteria, or cultures and this bar is so sweet that you cannot even taste the peanut butter. Retails for $23.00 for 12 bars: 1 bar / $1.92. Distributed by Lifeway Foods, Inc., Morton Grove, IL 847 967 1010

I love coffee, so when someone sends coffee flavored products for review, I am skeptical at best. But Buzz Strong delivered on the coffee flavor and the recipe is a great balance between the chocolate and the coffee. The front of the label says 2 cookies equals 1 cup of coffee but what does that mean? Is it the caffeine? It is not explained, but I want to know! And, whats up with the high fructose corn syrup and the palm fruit oil in the ingredients? Retails for $1.49 for 2 cookies Top Floor Creations, LLC, Nevada City, CA 530 205 9177

This product is a RISING STAR! These Cheesy Cheese Pop Alongs are too good for kids! Not really! But dont think that these are just for kids these whole grain, popped snacks are crispy and taste great nothing is artificial and at just 90 calories mom, dad, grandma, grandpa and, oh yeah, the kids, will be very satisfied. My only complaint is that I personally would like a touch more cheese flavor. This company also donates 3% of their net revenue to help feed kids in under-served schools. Retails for $0.99 for a single serving

This product is a HIT! I love Stevia and I have been anxiously awaiting the time when every food company and every American makes the switch from artificial sweeteners to the all natural, no calorie sweetener made from Rebiana extract from the Stevia plant. Unlike many of the other Stevia products now on the shelves, Stevia in the Raw does not add any sugar alcohols it is just dextrose and Stevia extract and has a much cleaner taste. Retails for $3.99 for 50 packets Cumberland Packing Corp, Brooklyn, NY 800 611 7434

Lyrics
Its a rainy afternoon
In 1990
The big city geez its been 20 years-
Candy-you were so fine
Beautiful beautiful
Girl from the north
You burned my heart
With a flickering torch
I had a dream that no one else could see
You gave me love for free
Candy, candy , candy I cant let you go
All my life youre haunting me
I loved you so
Candy, candy , candy I cant let you go
Life is crazy
Candy baby
Yeah, well it hurt me real bad when you left
Im glad you got out
But I miss you
Ive had a hole in my heart
For so long
Ive learned to fake it and
Just smile along
Down on the street
Those men are all the same
I need a love
Not games
Not games
Candy, candy, candy I cant let you go
All my life youre haunting me
I loved you so
Candy, candy , candy I cant let you go
Life is crazy
I know baby
Candy baby
Uou uou uou
Candy, candy, candy I cant let you go
All my life youre haunting me
I loved you so
Candy candy candy
Life is crazy
Candy baby
Candy baby,
Candy, candy

See which flavor you like and I’ll have it for you
Come on in to my store, I’ve got candy galore
Dont pretend you’re not hungry, I’ve seen it before

Lyrics:
Allow me to introduce myself
My name is Tay
It’s T-A-Y, T-A-Y to the Z
This is the web and it’s gonna murder your TV
It was Chocolate Rain
Wrote a song about that history
Chocolate Rain
Now I’m paid a hefty hefty fee
Chocolate Rain
Listen to the funky rhymes I weave
Chocolate Rain
I move away from the mic to breathe
He moves his mouth away from the mic so he can breathe [Repeat]
I wanna tell you about a love that took me by force
She took my heart like a wild red horse. I call her
Cherry Chocolate Rain
I open the door and see you standing there
Cherry Chocolate Rain
Pull me in with that delicious stare
Cherry Chocolate Rain
I need you right now don’t you want to stay
Cherry Chocolate Rain
Your beauty burns me like a solar ray
Mista Johnson with Tay Zonday
Most downloaded video clips
Most exclusive video chicks
Makin big videos
With big city pros
Got mad pad willy flows
That get many dough oh
Make it pop cherry
Whoa, tick tock to the clock
little Berry flows
Ridiculous, Mista Johnson
and Tay Zonday sick with this
Cherry Chocolate Rain
Release my love and unlock the chains
Cherry Chocolate Rain
Your energy is coarsing through my veins
Cherry Chocolate Rain
Ohio’s agriculture’s based on grains
Cherry Chocolate Rain
My love will just never be the same
Dark sweet unexpected
Taste the secret you’re infected
Cure my body’s deepest pains
Brought the thunder, made it rain
Oh, my Cherry Chocolate Rain.
I love you.
This internet thing is wild.

“Chocolate Rain”
Chocolate Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Chocolate Rain
A baby born will die before the sin
Chocolate Rain
The school books say it can’t be here again
Chocolate Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went
Chocolate Rain
Build a tent and say the world is dry
Chocolate Rain
Zoom the camera out and see the lie
Chocolate Rain
Forecast to be falling yesterday
Chocolate Rain
Only in the past is what they say
Chocolate Rain
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
Chocolate Rain
Makes us happy ‘livin in a gate
Chocolate Rain
Made me cross the street the other day
Chocolate Rain
Made you turn your head the other way
(Chorus)
Chocolate Rain
History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain
Using you to fall back down again
[Repeat]
Chocolate Rain
Seldom mentioned on the radio
Chocolate Rain
Its the fear your leaders call control
Chocolate Rain
Worse than swearing worse than calling names
Chocolate Rain
Say it publicly and you’re insane
Chocolate Rain
No one wants to hear about it now
Chocolate Rain
Wish real hard it goes away somehow
Chocolate Rain
Makes the best of friends begin to fight
Chocolate Rain
But did they know each other in the light?
Chocolate Rain
Every February washed away
Chocolate Rain
Stays behind as colors celebrate
Chocolate Rain
The same crime has a higher price to pay
chocolate Rain
The judge and jury swear it’s not the face
(Chorus)
Chocolate Rain
Dirty secrets of economy
Chocolate Rain
Turns that body into GDP
Chocolate Rain
The bell curve blames the baby’s DNA
Chocolate Rain
But test scores are how much the parents make
Chocolate Rain
‘Flippin cars in France the other night
Chocolate Rain
Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai
Chocolate Rain
‘Cross the world and back its all the same
Chocolate Rain
Angels cry and shake their heads in shame
Chocolate Rain
Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
Chocolate Rain
Which part do you think you’re ‘livin in?
Chocolate Rain
More than ‘marchin more than passing law
Chocolate Rain
Remake how we got to where we are.
(Chorus)
