Food Notes

Foodie Favorite Products of 2008 from The Impulsive Buy

We asked some of our favorite food bloggers to share with us their 5 Favorite Food Products of 2008 and we're bringing them to you all December and January.

But here is where we digress! Marvo is no "healthy foodie" but he does review food products (and more) over at The Impulsive Buy and we totally have an internet crush on him. His reviews are witty, sarcastic and we can't get enough - and by "we" I mean "me." Here are his favorites food & beverages from 2008.

• 1. Revolution 3D Tea. I already enjoyed the interesting flavors that their tea bags come in, so it wasn't surprising that I also really liked their canned teas.
• 2. Nature's Path Organic Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pastries. I tried the Apple Cinnamon version of the Nature's Path toaster pastries last year and thought they were disgusting, but I thought the opposite of the strawberry one.
• 3. Jack in the Box Pita Snacks. They're a little pricey for what you get, but these were my favorite new item out of the 40,000 Jack in the Box introduced this year.
• 4. Pepsi Blue Hawaii. I didn't give it a high rating, but I just enjoyed the novelty of it, along with its Smurf blue color.
• 5. Starbucks Doubleshot Energy + Coffee Energy Drinks. I don't drink coffee, unless it comes in the form of an energy drink, and I think these were the best among all the coffee energy drinks introduced this year.
