Back in the eighties Nabisco had a candy called Bonkers, which were fruit chews similar to Starbursts ... except they were layered. It was a fruity chew with a fruitier chewier center. If you need a reminder of what they were, watch this commercial from the eighties I found on YouTube.
I didn't know if they'd stopped making them but that's what I thought I was buying when I picked these up.
First, these are made by Joyco. Second, there are no flavor layers. Third, the flavors are all wrong. Fourth, the label says they're citrus fruits, but there's a strawberry in there and last time I checked those don't even grow on trees. Fifth, the package says there's real honey in there. Real honey? And egg whites? What the heck are these, nougats? Sixth, well, none of that matters because these were positively awful.
Most of them were very hard, but some were only kind of hard. All were rather unpleasant in a way that I'm not quite able to put my finger on.
Strawberry: slightly floral and slightly putrid tasting. A little tangy but with sort of moldy/mossy note.
Lemon: tastes like a moist and ripe citrus burp.
Orange: tangy but with a rather uneven flavor that alternates between bile and tang.
I tried several times to taste these (waiting a couple of weeks in between, thinking it was me). It's not me. They're bad. I've debated long and hard about what to give these. I sat there with the wads of half chewed Bonkers in their wrappers in front of me and a foul feeling in my stomach and it's clear I'm gonna have to give these a bad rating. (Believe me, I never set out to buy candy that I'm going to hate.) But I wanted to give them one last opportunity, so I offered them to the neighbors (and Amy always seems game for the worst of the worst but Robin conveniently reminds me when I try to get her to try things like this that she only likes chocolate). Amy spat it out on the sidewalk and then kicked it into the street. She described it as at first tasting like the plastic shelf it must have been sitting on in the store and then most decidedly vomit.
Yes, these get my first 1 out of 10. (Amy asked if there was a 0 rating.)

More Satisfying Snickers Almond?
I don't know if I would have noticed, except that the Sav-on had both the old version of the bar (sans peanuts) and the new one side by side and I was curious why the packaging was suddenly different and what made the new one "more satisfying."
So I purchased both and went off to the Candy Blog labs to do some analyses. First, the bars say they weigh the same, but when placed on the trusty postal scale the More Satisfying with Peanuts version came in at exactly 2.0 ounces and the Less Satisfying with just Almonds clocked in at 1.9 ounces. What's even more puzzling about this is that the label says that they weigh 1.76 ounces ... at least Mars is generous.
The original version shown above was easier to slice and seemed more "solid". There weren't copious amounts of almonds, but a fair amount. The bar was rather bland, as I mentioned in my review before. But there is something missing here, a toastiness, some sort of flavor.
So the big thing I noticed right away was how difficult it was to slice this bar easily. It was kind of mucky ... not melted or anything, just not as structural. I think there may be more caramel now. Instead of just going back to a better tasting nougat, the Mars folks created the hybrid Snickers/Mars Frankenbar. It's a Mars bar that tastes like a Snickers. Really, why buy this? It doesn't taste like almonds ... if anything, it's just a Snickers bar that's a little smaller.
As a touchstone I went out and bought/consumed a standard Snickers bar. It really tasted no different except the Snickers Almond was a little crunchier because almonds are bigger than peanuts.
This got me to thinking about the ingredients, so here's a run down of the top contents of the Less Satisfying Snickers Almond, More Satisfying Snickers Almond and the Satisfying Snickers (Peanut):
LS Snickers Almond…...MS Snickers Almond…..Plain Old Snickers
But let's go back to that statement on the new Snickers Almond bar ... what exactly makes satisfaction?
Less Satisfying Snickers Almond: 230 Calories & 1.76 ounces (that's 131 calories per ounce)
Could satisfaction be another word for caloric density?
While I find the More Satisfying Snickers Almond a little more tasty than before, its resemblance to the classic Snickers Peanut makes it superfluous. There are so few almond choices out there, why take this one away? I'm giving the Now More Satisfying Snickers Almond bar the same rating I gave the original.
(I'm also a little miffed that I consumed about 750 calories for this one review! I just hope none of them contained mouse droppings.)
Note: I looked at the Snickers website and they still list the old ingredients for the Snickers Almond bar.
UPDATE 9/2/2008: Well, the old new Snickers Almond is back. Here's a brief revisit with the bar:
I like the bar (though I prefer the dark chocolate version) and I'm glad they brought it back.

Goodbye Reed's
There once was a company that made boiled sweets (hard candies) in Chicago. Founded in 1893, The Reed Candy Company used copper kettles to boil sugar and corn syrup and other things together to create flavorful treats. In 1931 they started making their most famous product, the Reeds' Butterscotch candy roll. Later they added more flavors including Cinnamon, Root Beer and Butter Toffee.
At some point in their history The Reed Candy Company was bought out by another Chicago area based sweets company, Amurol Confections (known for their novelty gums like Big League Chew and Bubble Tape) ... and they in turn were bought by Wrigley's (also based in Chicago). The larger distribution chain should have helped, but I still rarely saw them at drug stores or groceries. I usually saw them at newsstands. Reeds continued to be made with startling consistency from the taste and packaging I remember from my childhood.
For those who have never had them, Reed's are kind of like Lifesavers, except there's no hole in the middle, just a slight dent. They're individually wrapped, which makes for extra-sanitary sharing as well as the ability to pop out the individual candies and put them in your pocket for later (try that with a Lifesaver!). They come with eight little pieces in a roll. But what was really extraordinary about them was the incredible amount of flavor packed into such a small candy. Part of this was the exceptional texture - these were high-quality boiled sugar sweets that had very few voids or holes so they were extra smooth on the tongue and dissolved well.
The Butterscotch ones used real butter and had a nice hit of salt to them. Though I'm sure the recipes changed over the years (going with artificial flavors and whatnot) they were still much more flavorful than many other candies.
Cinnamon was not for the faint of heart. The little dented red disk had a smooth and soft mouthfeel at first and then exploded with a very strong cinnamon flavor that could rival an Atomic Fireball. It was like the flavor popped and sparkled with itty-bitty reservoirs.
Other roll candies and mints came in cinnamon and butterscotch but no one else made a Root Beer candy. Soft and spicy with a complex flavor that just made you want to roll the little candy over and over in your mouth. Reed's Root Beer were my go to roll candy - they had the satisfying freshness of a mint and the tingly "activate those salivary glands" stimulation of a fruit sour.
They were always a 10 in my book. But I guess I ignored them and now they're gone. Back in April they told their distributors that they weren't going to be making them anymore and the supply was cut off. There are still a few places you can find a reserves on the web (and happily these hard candies are pretty durable when stored correctly):
I got my last rolls at Powell's in Windsor, CA but they said that they will not ship nor sell whole boxes at any discount.
UPDATE: Reed's are coming back. Iconic Candy of New York is working on their final formulations and packaging design and hope to have Reed's back on store shelves in a limited number of flavors by the end of the year.
You can see the preview of their new candy revivals here. They're also working on Regal Crown Sours and Bar None.

Miette Patisserie
Part of the reason for the stop in San Francisco on my recent vacation was to experience the Ferry Terminal Marketplace. It's home to a bunch of artisan food companies, restaurants and other people associated with the food crafts. Plus, on Saturdays there's a farmers market.
There are a couple of sweets locations in the Ferry Terminal including a Scharffen Berger store and Recchiuti Confections but for this trip (I'll be going back again in September) I thought I'd look at Miette Patisserie.
The store is drop dead cute and reminds me of a forties/fifties-era cookbook. They had a huge selection of cakes and hand-held pastries. But I was interested in candies, of course. There was a large display of handmade lollipops which looked gorgeous and came in sassy flavors like cotton candy, grape and pink lemonade. None of the flavors were marked and the colors weren't enough for me to discern the code so I passed them by for now.
Instead I was attracted to their Parisian Macaroons (which are not the coconut ones we're most accustomed to in the States). These macaroons are a hazelnut or almond and egg white based cookie with a filling of some sort. Like a super decadent sandwich cookie. They were $1.50 each ... a little on the pricey side so I didn't taste one of each flavor (I think there were six varieties).
I picked out:
Hazelnut: a vanilla cookie with a rich nutella-style filling. Sweet and rich but still light and flaky.
Rose Geranium: a delicately floral flavored cookie with a buttery light cream filling in the sandwich. My favorite.
Vanilla: a little sweeter because there was no strong flavor to balance it, but quite nice after a long walk and pleasant lunch.
By the register they also had three large jars of handmade caramels wrapped in wax paper. They were two for $1 so I had two of each.
Vanilla & Lemon - the wrappers were identical and I'm sorry to say that they all tasted the same. The caramels were nicely soft and sweet and of course had a wonderful slightly burnt sugar taste.
Fleur de Sel - a little darker tasting and with a nice warming sensation of instant salt. Instead of a regular caramel with a little series of grains of salt on the surface as I've had at other places, here the salt is completely integrated. The salt really brings out the caramelized notes, but it's also a bit strong and made my throat sting.
UPDATE: A kind reader, Dan, has informed me that these are made by the Little Flower Candy Company, which makes sense based on the flavor array.
I'm sure their cakes are great and there's the added bonus that they use organic ingredients whenever possible. Not that something like that makes a pastry more wholesome or anything! The macaroons can be ordered on their website, but not the caramels or lollies. The items are pricey, as is usually the case with labor intensive items. Overall I think I prefer the caramels and macaroons from Boule but since San Francisco doesn't have a Boule, I can see myself stopping in here on my next trip for a little something to eat. I'm especially interested in trying their Lavender Shortbread (I know, I've totally diverged from candy all of a sudden ... I was on vacation!).

Jelly Belly Soda Pop Shoppe
One of the problems with getting "preview" candy from a trade show like All Candy Expo is that I never know what it's actually going to look like in stores. One of the new products that I thought was pretty cool in concept was a new flavor assortment from Jelly Belly called Soda Pop Shoppe.
The flavor assortment includes: 7 Up, Dr. Pepper, A&W Root Beer, Orange Crush, and Grape Crush. What I find a little odd about this soda pop assortment is that there's no cola in it. But it seems that the variety is determined by some sort of flavor licensing from the Cadbury Schweppes people.
I got this little 3/4 of an ounce packet as a sample, but the fun part about these is that they're going to be packaged in soda bottles (1.5 ounces in a bottle). Sounds like a good way to share and to reseal them.
7 Up: a nice lemon lime with a good zesty hit at the front that gives it a slight bitter bite. There's no tangy component though.
Dr. Pepper: I've never been a fan of Dr. Pepper (or Mr. Pibb) but these seem to taste pretty faithful.
A&W Root Beer: these look almost like the Dr. Pepper, so be careful. Nice root beer flavor with a little creamy finish to it, like a foamy head.
Orange Crush: This one's a real winner. Tangy with a slight effervescent quality and a nice fake orange flavor.
Grape Crush: a little too sweet and not tart enough for my tastes, but then again I outgrew my appreciation of grape soda when I was twelve.
I'm a little confused if the A&W Cream Soda flavor is supposed to be in this mix or not, but it would sure fit well, but I wouldn't miss it if it doesn't make it.
These should be available in stores next month and might make nice stocking stuffers for Christmas. I like all of the flavors in here except for the Dr. Pepper, which could easily be plucked out and set aside for someone else. I think the real surprise flavor here is the 7 UP which was far more complex than I'd figured it would be.

Jolly Rancher Screaming Sours
There was nothing else like a Jolly Rancher when they first came out. Back then green apple and watermelon were radical flavors ... actually, when I was a kid, the slang term "radical" wasn't even in use yet.
I really wanted these to be good ... like a gummi bear version of a Jolly Rancher, only in Jolly Rancher flavors.
They come in four flavors - Watermelon, Apple, Orange and Cherry. They're a little tart jelly candy with a sugar sand coating on them. They're not gummis at all, there's not even any gelatin or pectin in the ingredients list, it's sugar, corn syrup and corn starch plus a little flavor, tartness and color. They're kind of small morsels too, about the same size around as a nickel.
Cherry - not quite a black cherry flavor, this was like a sour cherry and definitely a chemical flavor. This one differed most from the hard candies I was used to.
Watermelon - oh, it's like summer distilled into a strange pink chemical. Sweet, tart and floral all at once but not really much like the real stuff. But still good.
Apple - tart and appley with that distinct artificial taste, but completely faithful to the Jolly Rancher flavor.
Orange - as usual, my favorite. Tart and with a good citrus essence mixed with a completely middle-of-the-road Tang flavor. Satisfying.
The package warns that mouth irritation may result from the high "sour level" but I didn't find them that sour at all. The flavors actually blended pretty well - you can pop an apple and watermelon in your mouth together or an orange and cherry and find a pleasant surprise. But they weren't "Screamingly" sour in the slightest.
My biggest quarrel with these is that they go sticky very quickly. I don't know if it was the insane heat of Los Angeles or that they just do that after the package has been opened. It doesn't seem to have effected the flavor, except maybe they've bled together a smidge. But really, there's nothing really compelling here. It's not a true chew like a Starburst or a gummi or a jelly ... they're just kind of soft and certainly not sour enough to warrant being called anything more than tangy jellies.

Licorice Mentos
There's this rumor going around that you can find European flavors of Mentos in the States if you look hard enough (instigated by the comments section here at Candy Blog, I might add) ... at places like the 99 Cent Only store!
While my last visit did not result in a cache of the coveted Pink Grapefruit Mentos, I did find Licorice ones.
They weren't quite the transcendent experience I'd hoped for. Don't get me wrong, they're nice and all. But they're no Pampelmousse!
They're white with a slight grey cast to them. They don't really smell like anything and at first bite they're slightly minty but then when you get past the crunchy shell there's a slightly salty, slightly warm and creamy taste of licorice. It's not a molassesy bite, just an herbal quality. It's a bit like the licorice Altoids (but of course chewy and not quite as strong).
I don't see myself picking these up too often, but they make a nice change from the Mint ones. I'm enjoying the second roll much more than the first, so perhaps they grow on you.

Anthon Berg Filled Chocolates
Come on, half the fun of this candy is the packaging! They're eensy-weensy liquor bottles made out of chocolate! They're even smaller than those little bottles you find in the honor bar or on airplanes.
After those awesome martini cordials I had from K Chocolatier that were so freakishly expensive, I was hoping to find something similar at a fraction of the price. While these don't quite measure up, they're still pretty good. The unique selling proposition here is that they don't have that sugar shell inside like the K Chocolatier Martinis did.
I didn't eat all of them, but I did try quite a few. The first one I started with was the Drambuie. I'm not that fond of Drambuie, I find it a tad sweet and so was this.
The second one I tried was the one I was most curious about - Ricard, which is an anise flavored liquor. I've never had straight Ricard, so again, it's hard to judge. What I found was that it was rather sweet and not at all anisey. It's definitely alcoholic, but not as strong as I'd expect for a liquer.
Next was the Stoli Oranj, but unfortunately this one ruptured somewhere along the way and there was a little bit of sugary crust at the bottom of the bottle and a smidge of the liquid missing. I ate it anyway. It was okay. The chocolate was fine, but the alcoholic bite was pretty much gone.
The Stoli Vanil was also very nice, without much of a flavorful bite, but the chocolate shines through effectively. The last one I had was Cointreau, which I think was my favorite. A little touch of orange, not quite as sweet as the others and still with a subtle alcoholic bite.
They're very nice and certainly far cheaper (and probably more widely available) than other real alcohol filled chocolates. The filling was a little syrupy, but I'm guessing you can't put true alcohol without some sugar stabilizer in there or else they'll dissolve the chocolate.
It's kind of hard to peel the little bottles sometimes and of course if you hold them in your hand for any length of time you risk softening the chocolate to the point of an accident when unwrapping.
So if the liqueur chocolates are an evening things, maybe the coffee chocolates should be considered a morning one.
These flavored coffees are cloaked in the same dark chocolate and again, have no sugar crust in them. This is a big difference over the Pocket Coffee that I reviewed before.
I tasted a few of the varieties, though I think there are more. You can only buy them in the assortments, so there's no point in wishing you could buy only one kind.
Cappuccino - a nice sweet coffee inside chocolate, but it didn't seem to have much of a dairy component to it, no milkiness at all.
Toffee Macchiato - this one confused me, but I have to admit that I've never had a macchiato. It tasted like coconut and coffee, which is not a bad thing, but it certainly doesn't seem at all like toffee.
Espresso - this is the money shot. Very much like the Pocket Coffee, not as sweet as the others. It was a bit tangy and rich.
Vanilla Frappe - that's the one pictured unwrapped and tipped out ... so you can see I didn't get to taste it completely. Sometimes I have to sacrifice for the art.
Irish Cream Coffee - this one was sweet as well and had a pretty mellow minty quality, but very little coffee flavor in the mix.
I've never seen these at the store, but I'm sure they'll be more prevalent as the holidays get closer. They're a pretty nice hostess gift for the right person and if CandyWarehouse's price is any indication, they're not even that expensive.

I have never heard of this company nor have I subscribed to a voice mail service. I have a Jitterbug cell phone, they do not include a Voicemail for the $5.00 I pay monthly. I believe that this company ESBI is a fraud I called their phone at 1-800-286-4455 and they claim that I have signed up for their services. This is a lie and I ndon't recall doing such thing. They obtained somehow my email address and they chose to bill me for a service that I don't know about.
I have read that there are other persons with the same complaints, they were billed through Verizon.
This company has to be stopped for ripping off people.

I spoke to the manager on the 13th of December.
HE disappeared for 10 minutes, returned and told me the penalty would be $45,000. I left and returned the next day,he wasnt there but I spoke to a female employee about withdrawing my cd. She spoke to someone on the phone for 20 minutes and told me the correct figure for my proceeds after subtracting the penalty of $3000. After she done the paperwork however, I paid $5950 which is $2950 more than I should have paid. I have a copy of their Terms and Conditions for CD'S which say that all CD'S larger than $100,000 are classified as Jumbo CD'S. The penaltys section says that my penalty would be $3000
I returned the next day and there was a new man in the office, to whom I complained. He said he would call me, he never did.
I called agin the next day, got the first man who told me the penalty would be $45,000 who said he would call me , he never did.
Called the corporate office complaint line 2 or 3 times with nor results.Called the branch office Monday and Tuesday, they were in meeting and not available.
Got ahold of the $45,000 man on Wednesday, he said he would call, he never did.
I don't know if this is the result of outright theft , incompetance or both.

Oven 5 Hour Beef Stew
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 5 hrs
This is a great stew recipe from an elderly friend who served it for years for her family. I finally got her to share!! This is very easy to prepare, and my family really enjoys it!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 -2 lb stew meat (I like 1 1/2 lbs.)
- 4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 medium onions, peeled and sliced (white or yellow)
- 2 cups carrots (I use the mini carrots)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tapioca
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper (I use seasoned pepper)
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
- 1 3⁄4 cups water
- Combine all above ingredients into a large baking dish; cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 5 hours at 250 degrees-- NO PEEKING!
Most Helpful
I got the recipe from my husband's Grandmother and have made it for years. It's the best stew and so easy. I also like to add celery and if you don't have tomato soup you can use tomato sauce and about 1/2 can of water and you can use cornstarch in the place of tapioca.
Comfort food! This is the only beef stew recipe ever I make now. Its cooking right now, and smells amazing in here, even though it has 2 hours to go.
Delicious!! This was ridiculously easy to put together and smelled incredible the whole day. My DSs were bugging me for hours about when dinner was happening. Absolute perfect comfort food. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Unfortunately, I read the reviews after I consulted with this company and now I am ina dispute to get my money back. They are a total waste of time, will not deliver the service they offer.
Buyer beware and look elsewhere for services.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I first started calling 866-250-6035 about Royal Credit Stealing my money! They claimed to be "Only Customer Service" but I was told that they would get in touch with someone in the Main Corporate Office and see that my refund is made immediately! Yet not one of these people could tell me the name of anyone in the main office!
I was then given the number 800-513-8180. Only people with accents answer this phone. They can barely speak english so they can be understood yet they all have names like Bob, Steve and Amber. Again, these yoyos insisted that they could contact corporate and get my refund back to me ASAP!
No one at this number new anyone in the main office and none of them knew who the company owner is!They gave their companies address(Royal Credit) as being 10624 South Eastern Avenue Henderson Nevada.
They said that this is where they were calling from. In
truth,the 1-800-513-8180 is to a phone bank in INDIA! I applied a lot of pressure to Bob Balla and he in turn gave me the corporate number as being 1-800-704-9552. I called this number and only got a recording and could leave a message! So I did. I left several very rude, crude and socially unacceptable messages! No return call! Today, I told Bob in no uncertain terms that I wanted to speak to someone who could give me answers. He promised me he would get in touch with Corporate and someone would call me back within the hour! Enter Ms. RUTH!
She called me sounding real concerned and wanting to solve my problem! She said that her company was IMF and that she didn't know who Royal Credit was. She gave her company address as 9101 West Charleston Avenue Las Vegas Nevada. Anyone who has looked or complained about Dynamic Credit, Dynamic Credit Solutions and several other names, the 9101 West Charleston Avenue is very familiar!
I pressed her and she said that this Royal Credit must have broken away from the reputable people she knows and started cheating me and others and using their phone
numbers. Then I trapped her by asking her the question "If you say Royal Credit Services doesn't exist, why did their customer service company call her after the person had assurred me he would call corporate and have someone call me!". I'll bet old Ruth almost swallowed her face when I asked this question. She told me to hold on and she would call 800-513-8180 and find out herself.
She came back on the phone with the story that someone was giving out her phone numbers and she was going to find out why. Yet Ruth couldn't tell me the names of any of the company owners for Dynamic Credit and she'd supposedly been handling business for them for over 2 and a half years. How can an honest person work for someone else for this long and not know how to even contact them? Answer, it doesn't happen this way! Ruth, I was born, but not yesterday! I talked a long time to her and was good! I didn't call her a lying, cheating idiot like I wanted to. So I went on to other things! At my bank, I learned what bank my $298.00 went to and called them. They were not only nice and extremely helpful, they told me that they were investigating this firm because of all the complaints!
I called the 1-800-704-9552 and left a very crude message. Now this was the main corporate number of Royal Credit which Ruth said didn't exist. About an hour later, Ruth called me upset with the crude message I'd left. She got even angrier when I reminded her that I'd called the corporate number for Royal Credit and she'd called me back. 10 or 15 minutes later, some punk from a firm listed on my caller ID as CCFT at 702-254-5837 and demanded to know why I'd left such crude messages. The punk even said that I had one of the women in the office in tears. Ruth said that she didn't know anything about Royal Credit yet here she was upset by the messages I'd left.
The little punk tried to impress me with his supposed knowledge of things and I cut the little jerkoff off before he could finish.I told him to F off and slammed the phone down. He called right back and said "Don't you f---ing hang up on me!". Which I promply did. He called back saying "I'm recording all this, now go ahead and make those threats again!". Since I hadn't made any threats, I told him what he could do with his mouth and hung up again. The little weasel didn't call back! Call Ruth tommorrow and bommbard her with questions. Challenge her credibility! She'll suddenly not be answering her phone! I'm filing suit in the next few weeks. I'm going to file in Federal Court against all parties known and unknown who are involved!
Thus far, the only thing that is clear is that the numbers are to nothing but Customer Relations. There doesn't seem to be a main corporate number or address anywhere.

Shorts will hammer this on Monday
we're still not back to where we were trading 2 weeks ago so I'd say $25 not out of the question in the near term.
Did you see the volumes Today?http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/uiThis will be a channel break out.
Agreed, unless JRJC can keep putting out good new, the bears or sitting on the sidelines on this one waiting to pounce.
ya, but why would you short this until it hits $30 and just before or after earnings?Would be stupid to do so before then.
you idiot. It was down $37 in 3 months. lolits making its way back to fair value, it was oversold
First off $37 was not it's fai value, it was a much inflated value, second has anyone stopped to think what might happen if they miss their numbers on Feb 27? They did last quater, what makes you think this quater will be any different. A lot of potential but to young of a compnay for me to be that risky.
Do you know what P/E stands for?WHY is JRJC's P/E figher than Google's?As matter of fact it is 4x higher.Do some DD......Rookie

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Toda la gama de galletas Go Raw me han sorprendido gratamente. Un sabor delicioso pero libre de gluten y al ser un alimento vivo (germinado y deshidratado) aporta muchas más vitaminas y minerales que cualquier snack. Pienso probar toda la gama. Las Masala Chai son dulces con sabor a coco y especias.
Posted by archeiherb on Nov 08, 2015
Well,i forgot to check the sugar. 16g sugar is too much for me though its ingredient is healthy. It has strong ginger taste. If you like masala chai, you will love it. But to me, i say no.
Delicious & nutritious!
Posted by Reviewer1393699 on May 27, 2015
A healthy treat :) They're more like compressed seeded sweet chips, taste a little bit spicy (not hot, just flavoursome like chai). Yummy & there are plenty in the resealable bag.
Posted by Reviewer1147366 on Jan 22, 2015
I love the go raw brand they are so healthy and good!
Be prepared
Posted by JustSarah on Dec 19, 2014
I bought these because I a.) love chai and b.) don't go for overly sweet things very often. Even so, I was surprised by how earthy and nearly bitter these cookies were. Don't get me wrong--they're nicely made and pack a nutritious punch. Just try them that first time expecting no sweetness and you'll be fine!
Honestly, these taste really bad
Posted by 5013325882786734298 on Oct 26, 2014
I was so excited to receive this product, along with the pumpkin super chips and pizza chips from the same company. I am completely disappointed. The masala chai flavor in particular, tastes absolutely horrible. I dont know if it's the combination of orange and sesame and dates (which usually go well together) or the spices they used, but they taste horrible. I tried to love them, and I'm going to be throwing them out, which is completely against everything I believe in! Also, a small bag for the price.....

Japanese right-hander Masahiro Tanaka scattered six hits over seven innings to win his major-league debut 7-3 and help the New York Yankees spoil the Blue Jays' home opener Friday night. The US$175-million man struck out eight after an early wobble and did not walk a batter while giving up three runs, only two of which were earned. Tanaka (1-0) threw 97 pitches including 65 strikes in a promising debut. Jays leadoff hitter Melky Cabrera welcomed Tanaka to the majors with a home run to right field on his third delivery. Not helped by his defence, the right-hander gave up two more in the second. Still the 25-year-old managed four strikeouts in the first two innings and soon settled down, efficiently mowing down Blue Jays while quieting the sellout Rogers Centre crowd of 48,197. After the Jays got their runs in the second, he retired 11 of 12 and faced the minimum batters in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh before calling it a night with a 5-3 lead. New York (2-2) had 16 hits to six for Toronto (2-3), which used six pitchers on the night. The Yankees could have scored more but left 11 men on base. Toronto starter Dustin McGowan (0-1) gave up four earned runs on eight hits with three strikeouts and one walk in just 2 2/3 innings, leaving another question-mark over the Jays' starting pitching.

4D Printing & the Future of Manufacturing
If you haven't yet gotten used to the idea that 3D printing is playing an important role in the supply chain, you'd better hurry up. 4D printing is about to change today's manufacturing by adding transformation capabilities to 3D-printed objects on an industrial scale.
Self-assembly, replication, self-repair, and self-adaptation will change design, and the creative process that gives life to components, giving birth to a new era in the manufacturing world. 3D printing will no longer be a component's end-of-life. On the contrary, it will be just the beginning.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Self-Assembly Lab's director, Skylar Tibbits, a trained architect, designer, and computer scientist, has been working in collaboration with Stratasys and Autodesk to develop smart components that after being 3D printed can reconfigure themselves without the assistance of a human being.
According to a press release:
4D Printing entails multi-material prints provided by Stratasys' Connex Technology with the added capability of embedded transformation from one shape to another, directly off the print-bed. This revolutionary technique offers a streamlined path from idea to reality with full functionality built directly into the materials. Imagine robotics-like behavior without the reliance on complex electro-mechanical devices.
The work with 4D printing is a collaboration between Stratasys's Education and R&D departments, and MIT's Self-Assembly Lab. Stratasys is one of the leading companies in 3D printing. Using Stratasys's already existing Connex multi-material technology, and a new expanding material developed by Stratasys, and adding Autodesk's software used for 4D printing, the team has been able to add transformation capabilities to 3D printed objects. This fourth dimension opens doors to new possibilities that can be applied to different manufacturing sectors, including aerospace, automotive, building, and water-piping.
By using a specialized 3D printer from Stratasys, manufacturers can create multi-layered materials. These materials can be programmed in any 1D, 2D, or 3D shape. Programming the materials with transformation capabilities adds the 4D.
Watch a 4D-printed, self-folding surface cube experiment by MIT's Self-Assembly Lab, and Stratasys:
(Source: Skylar Tibbits)
Adding the 4D
4D printing is a good example of smart components because supports printing with multiple materials: one rigid, and one that expands 50 times in water. In this way the expandable material expands the rigid material, the structure, and all the information in it.
Skylar told me that even though they are not specifically targeting the electronics space, there is a lot of opportunity there. For example, the devices themselves could be 4D printed if the device would have 4D properties, or smart component properties.
In this short TED video, Skylar Tibbits explains the emergence of 4D printing:
Skylar is in active search for a manufacturing partner to bring the 4D-printing project to the next level. A company with vision into the future will be able to see the potential, and participate in one of the most exciting emerging technologies we are seeing these days.
Right now, it's more of a dream with amazing possibilities. Apply your imagination to it: What applications would you like to see resulting from 4D printing?

End this misguided criticism of 'Hitler's Pope'
Jewish interference in papal moves to canonise Pius XII are entirely misplaced
Few familiar with John Cornwall's book, Hitler's Pope will ever forget the photograph on its cover. It shows the controversial, wartime Pope leaving a building in full clerical regalia. Majestically, he sweeps past saluting, steel-helmeted German soldiers to an awaiting car whose door is held open by a uniformed, saluting footman.
Those who know or care little about that Pope, Pius XII, beyond what they might think they have learned from the cover of Cornwall's book — or from reading it for that matter — will be likely to agree with those Jewish leaders who have protested at the recent Vatican decision to initiate Pius's canonisation by recognising him as having exhibited the "heroic virtues" of faith, hope and charity.
Without much further thought, they are likely to accept the claim of Israel's Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi that "This is a man… who may not have done enough during the Holocaust to save Jews". Likewise, they will probably concur with the rabbi of Rome's synagogue that: "We must remember… the death trains that carried 1,061 Jews on the 16th October 1943 to Auschwitz, while Pius XII remained silent".
In reality, the photograph adorning the cover of Cornwall's book was taken in 1927, years before Pius became Pope or the Nazis gained power. It shows him, while still papal nuncio to Germany, leaving a reception for its elected President, Paul von Hindenburg.
Pius had long returned to Rome when the Nazis assumed power in 1933, and he deliberately absented himself when Hitler visited the eternal city in 1938. The only senior Nazi whom Pius ever met was German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, and then only to give him a dressing-down for Nazi atrocities, described at the time by the New York Times thus: "In… burning words… [Pius] came to the defence of Jews in Germany and Poland."
Pius's reprimand of Ribbentrop was far from his only words and deeds opposing the Nazis and their treatment of Jews. Books published since Cornwall's, such as Rabbi David Dalin's The Myth of Hitler's Pope (2005), plus published research by the likes of Gary Krupp, founder of the Pave the Way Foundation, cite innumerable ways Pius spoke out and acted against the Nazis.
Pius risked his life plotting against Hitler. He also saved thousands of Jewish lives by securing forged papers to facilitate Jews' emigration to Palestine, as well as by ordering Jews to be hidden and cared for in buildings belonging to the Church.
Apart from getting wrong the date of the first mass shipment of Rome's Jews — it occurred two days after their rounding-up, Rome's rabbi is also wrong to claim Pius said nothing about it. When he first learned of the round-up on the morning of the 16th, he immediately summoned the German ambassador, who then dispatched a warning to Berlin that, if further round-ups occurred, Pius would speak out publicly, regardless of personal consequences. Pius also got the German commander in Rome to send a similar communiqué. As a result, there were no further mass round-ups and few of Rome's Jews were transported to the death camps by comparison with other places under Nazi occupation.
Several Catholic clerics accorded righteous gentile status by Yad Vashem have testified they were acting on the orders of Pius. He too, should be made a righteous gentile, not reviled as a Jew-hater.

I am a Catholic and I came upon this article when I was googling for references to Rabbi David Dalin's book. I joined the site so that I could comment - even if nearly two years late.
I'm glad that this issue is being given publicity among Jews. Hochhuth's play and Cornwell's book are libels that need to be refuted in the world. They are as false and malicious as the allegations in "The Elders of Sion". Hochhuth on the one hand was a tool of the Soviet Communists and on the other is a supporter of the anti-semite David Irving. Cornwell just wants to be controversial.
The Holocaust was at least as evil as anything that happened to Jews in antiquity; whether the enslavement in Egypt, the captivity in Babylon or the Roman occupation. We are still swimming in its horrendous wake and maybe future generations will be able to come to a better understanding of it than we have collectively in our own generations.
But whatever we say and do, no good will come of it unless we seek the truth rigorously and prayerfully on both sides. Christianity must acknowledge its contribution to the foundations of the Shoah over nearly 2,000 years. I hope that Jews can acknowledge that many, many Christians, both during the atrocities and since, have deplored what happened and tried to resist its consequences.

i am more concerned about pius xii's treatment of jews before the holocaust, particularly his sacrifice of jewish property and freedoms in order to preserve catholic property and freedoms
in the 1933 concordat between the vatican and the nazis (see eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichskonkordat), the nazis promised to continue the kirchensteuer, giving the vatican 10% of all german taxes collected from german catholics
(this was in the supplementary protocol to the concordat … see http://www.americancatholictruthsociety.com/docs/pxi_concordat.htm … it continued a similar weimar provision which the nazis could have ignored)
the concordat of course also guaranteed various freedoms to the catholic church and to catholics individually
to obtain the concordat, the vatican agreed not to oppose the nazi's confiscation of jewish property (and other anti-jewish measures)
by signing the concordat, pius xi sacrificed jewish property and freedoms in order to obtain very substantial money and freedoms for catholics

Mr. Silas Pierce sneakingly took pictures of a U-Haul during the removal of personal items prior to the estate sale, although he stated it wouldn't matter. But later he stated that he had a sale percentage right to those items since they were on his website, which the removal was over 2 months prior to the estate sale. His list of those items in the U-Haul were extremely over-priced especially since the most costly item was eventually repossessed.
The only thing I can say about that item is that it was a blessing it was removed as it more than likely would have been undersold. His contract does state no one from the family is allowed while the estate sale is being conducted. He ended up calling the Admin. and had him call the police to report that we were trespassing. If we would have realized what we know now, we would have had the police remove Mr. Silas Pierce and his company, from the house. The house was stripped of everything and the estate sale was illegal.

SUBMITTED: Saturday, March 10, 2012POSTED: Saturday, March 10, 2012
When my mother and I first visited a Tropic Estate Sale in our area, we could not believe how amazing the items were that they were selling! They had ORIGINAL paintings from well-renowned artist, authentic and rare handbags, jewelry and fine antiques, clothing, high end electronics....the list goes on! The neighborhood was one of the most expensive in Central Florida, so we knew it would be great...but it far exceeded our expectations!!!!
Walking into the one of their sales is like walking in to a high end art museum!! Silas had a team of employees in every area of the sale, to of course, monitor these gems and answer questions for the guests. My mom took forever picking out jewelry from the glass cases, manned by his staff, but she found the perfect ring!
I was so impressed with Silas the first time I met him!!! I wanted to purchase a piece of Louis Vuitton luggage and attempted to haggle with him. Silas was able to tell me the name of the piece, the history and the retail of this exquisite item....then he kindly rejected my offer! After doing the research, I am almost embarrassed that I asked him to lower the price. He respects his customers, but he is definitely committed to the owner of the merchandise and ensuring they get top value. I respect him so much for that. I absolutely TREASURE the Louis Vuitton wine case that I was able to afford that day! I have yet to see another one like it! That was the first of many wonderful visits to the Tropic Estate Sales!
Recently, I actually contacted Mr. Pierce, because I had made a bad purchase on a website in an attempt to add to my small...but growing Louis Vuitton collection. I was devastated when these bags arrived and appeared to not be real! I purchased them using my Paypal account so was able to open a case against this dishonest seller. Paypal responded to me that I had less than 1 week to get the handbags appraised and proven to be replica. There are websites on line that will authenticate bags but charge more than I can pay, per bag for a rush response.
I called the AMAZING, HONEST, and BLESSING....Silas Pierce!! He sat down with me and looked at each poorly crafted handbag. Within a few days he drafted a letter detailing his history as an antique appraiser, and the other amazing credentials he has in the business of fine art and collectibles!!
When I offered to pay him, or even buy him dinner...he would not hear of it! If you are blessed enough to meet Silas Pierce, as I have been, you will meet a man with a passion for art, unique treasures....but mostly being a true service to others!
When it is time for my Estate Sale (prayerfully way in the future)....and if my children need to part with my small collection of rare, unique and lovely things...I would only trust one person to sell them...bringing top dollar for my loved ones...I can't take it with me :-)!!
This is my personal, and honest experience with Tropic Estate Sales and Mr. Silas Pierce. If you want to ask me more about the company or him in person....catch me (and mom) at one of his next Estate Sales! Everyone in town knows they are the best estate sales company in the area!!!

As far as underselling, more than likely it is stuff really being re-sold in his own warehouses/flea markets, but that it is an opinion of mine.
Additionally, I did not go into all the details of everything including at least one item being swapped out, no jewelry that was left was even displayed and even a neighbor being threatened by Silas Pierce over vehicle titles.
I do have my facts straight.
Bottom line, is that if he is a professional like he presents himself, he should have known this estate sale was illegal and the estate sale should have never transpired.

Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I hate to admit it but Silas Pierce is a family member of mine and when he has estate sales we call them "ESTATE STEALS". I have witnesses him with my own eyes loading up his red truck (with the broken out window ) with stuff that him and his family members wanted before the sale even started and a uhaul after to take care of what was left over he wanted. He is a crook, liar, dishonest person. he is always in a lawsuit with someone every since i can remember, thats pretty sad, i have a business of my own and have never had a complant . SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT A STOP TO ROBERT SILAS PIERCE. he is hurting people and there families . Silas if you read this you are pathetic person and need to get a life and stop taking whats not your!!! I think some of these cases would be crimes on the elderly.
