Welcome to another installment of Radar trying to embrace its inner Gordon Ramsey (aka another installment of Radar food reviews). This time, we’ve tried all sorts of pumpkin-flavored, Halloween themed foods so that next time “Spooky Season” rolls around you’ll know what to buy!
Here’s what we found:
Pumpkin Flavored Rice Krispie Treats
Average Rating: (4/10)
“Tastes like a pumpkin spice burp. Do not recommend it. First, you take a bite and it tastes like a regular Rice Krispie but then you taste the pumpkin and die a little inside.” (3/10) – Sonia
“Smells like pumpkin spice. Tastes like a plain Rice Krispie.” (3/10) – Unknown
“Not bad but also not the taste of pumpkin pie. Normal Rice Krispies are better.” (5/10) – Kalia
Pumpkin Donuts
Average Rating: (7.25/10)
“A little too sticky and was not round enough.” (8/10) – Kai
“Kinda nice with it. I wish it was harder and not so squishy though.” (8/10) – David Y
“Not bad, good cinnamon taste. It tastes like pumpkin pie in a donut form.” (6/10) – Sonia S
Safeway Off-brand Orange Oreo Cookies
Average Rating: (7/10)
“Not a brand Oreo… tastes a bit off. Orange filling is a bit frightening.” (6/10) – El
“Oreos are always good and the neon orange gives it a nice pop of color.” (8/10) – Kalia
“Oreo with a hint of culture.” (10/10) – Brant H
Safeway Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Average Rating: (2/10)
“Look, I love Safeway chocolate chip cookies. The pumpkin adds nothing! It’s vaguely pumpkin flavored but mostly bad nutmeg. All the points [I rated it] were from the fact that it’s a chocolate chip cookie.” (3/10) – Avi
“It is ATTACKING my taste buds…tastes like a bad cinnamon air freshener.” (1/10) – Sonia S
White Chunk Pumpkin Cookies
Average Rating: (4/10)
“Tastes like a banana Laffy Taffy… do what you will with that information.” (2/10) – Patrick
“Pretty good, I like the white chunks” (8/10) – David Y
“Bad aftertaste. White chunks taste out of place.” (2/10) – Shreya M
Pumpkin Flavored Marshmallows
Average Rating: (2/10)
“Marshmallows should not have flavor other than chocolate. Do not recommend. Very sweet but not in a good way.” (3/10) – Sonia S
“Very subtle flavor. Could have more pumpkin spice.” (2/10) – Unknown
“They taste fine initially but develop a weird off- pumpkin taste the longer they’re in your mouth.” (3/10) – Kalia
Franken Berry Cereal
Average Rating: (1/10)
“Not much taste or flavor – weird aftertaste.” (3/10) – Unknown
“The fruitiness is really unnerving. Doesn’t taste in any way natural.” (3/10) – Sophie
“Maybe I’ve had a few too many sweets but this is making me sick. Strawberry flavored cereal shouldn’t exist…honestly, nothing about it is exciting unless you’re counting the chemical pink color.” (0.5/10) – Sarah
Boo Berry Cereal
Average Rating: (3/10)
“It looked gross and had a weird aftertaste. The name was creative.” (2.5/10) – Marie
“Slightly better than the Franken Berry Cereal but still not very good.” (4/10) – Sophie
“I don’t hate it but it reminds me too much of strawberry fluoride treatment at the dentist.” (5/10) – Avi
Count Chocola Cereal
Average Rating: (7.5/10)
“Just simple crunchy chocolate cereal. You really can’t go wrong. Could be spookier though…” (9/10) – Avi
“Tastes like a Coco Puff, pretty good.” (9/10) – Patrick
“They messed up chocolate cereal?” (4/10) – Sarah J
Apple Pie with Cinnamon
Average Rating: Uhh infinity?
“Buttery Crust.” (8/10) – Megan
“It was really heckin’ good.” (lim x → ∞/ 10) – Patrick
“Pretty good but tastes like apple sauce.” (7/10) – Ava
