Every now and again, I have someone who reaches out to me with a suggestion (or two or like a dozen) of things I haven’t tried yet. While I may not get to it right away, I do love it when readers reach out to me with a suggestion. So tonight’s review goes out to Btandjt on Instagram for suggesting Simply Lite Dark Chocolate Bar. Thanks for the great suggestion!

The pros: Simply Lite Dark Chocolate Bar tastes every bit dark chocolate without being very bitter, but some how doesn’t taste artificial in any meaningful way.

The cons: This bar came with a warning label. No really. It might help you lose weight in one way or another. In fact, the warning label on this chocolate may remind you of this famous SNL sketch (80 second video).

The verdict: …

Trader Joe’s Oh My Guava

The pros: Trader Joe’s Oh My Guava might remind you less of a juice product and more like Trader Joe’s Agua Fresca, but with a distinct tea taste. This product comes in a nice glass bottle.

The cons: If you are hoping for a super sweet juice product, you might be disappointed in this. This is much lighter tasting. The black tea also mutes the color of this product.

The verdict: …

The pros: Trader Joe’s Onion Salt shines on certain products like potatoes and sour cream.

The pros: Trader Joe’s Watermelon Cucumber Cooler is a love it or hate it flavor. It is light and refreshing, but not everyone will appreciate the cucumber flavor here. This drink does have a cult like following.

The cons: This may be a love it or hate it flavor. Regardless of your feelings towards this product, it is also seasonal, so if you love it, you better stock up on it. Availability of this product starts to dwindle before summer is over.

The verdict: …
