Influenster Holiday VoxBox Review: Larabar & Mentos Pure Fresh Sugarfree Gum
It’s time for more Influenster Holiday VoxBox product reviews! The next two are…
Larabar, Cashew Cookie fruit & nut food bar |
|
|
| Packaging: Traditional energy bar size, wrapped in printed plastic. Colorful and descriptive.
Appearance: Rectangular bar, organic-looking, moist enough to keep it packed together but not moist enough to cause condensation in the wrapper Thoughts: This isn’t my first experience with Larabar, nor will it be my last. The flavor I received was Cashew Cookie, and it was good. It tasted of cashew and had a little sweetness to it, thanks to the dates, without being overpowering. Those are the only two ingredients: cashew and date. No preservatives or extra “flavor” added, just unprocessed cashews and dates pressed into a bar. These are ideal for taking on road trips or out hiking and camping. They’re easy to slip into a pocket (especially if you get the new “mini” size) and are about as healthy and natural as you can get in an energy bar. Occasionally I go too long between meals and need to eat RIGHT NOW, and I kept a Larabar in my purse for emergencies for a long time. You can buy these at most grocery stores and online, and your local Costco might also sell them in bulk. Highly recommended! Verdict: Would definitely buy it! Rating: 4.5/5 |
Mentos Pure Fresh Sugarfree Chewing Gum |
|
 |
Packaging: Easy to open while still keeping the gum inside fresh, the tube fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
Appearance: The same size as the Mentos chewy fruit candies that come in a roll, these gum tablets are white speckled with bright blue with a hollow, mint gel-filled center Thoughts: Having several crowns and filled cavities, I generally stay away from gum, but these were pretty good! The tablet is initially a little crunchy feeling as you bite through the outer shell, then releases a burst of mint as the flavored gel inside touches your tongue. The first few minutes of chewing it are a little like chewing candy and are when the flavor profile is the strongest. After that, the gum feels like normal gum (the non-sticky kind that won’t break your jaw to chew) but the minty freshness sticks around for a while. It’s also sugarfree! Verdict: Recommended for gum and fresh breath enthusiasts Rating: 4.0/5 |
