Skippy Super Chunk with Great Value Whole Wheat Buttery Rounds crackers. 9/10.

Finally made myself try Skippy Super Chunk recently (a win for my ARFID!) and it’s pretty good. It could use a few more peanut pieces, but it’s good. Still prefer JIF Extra Crunchy or JIF Natural Crunchy/Great Value Crunchy for crunchy PB, they have more peanut pieces and it’s much more consistent, but this is good, so when I do finally go to Japan, I will have access to a PB u know I like! (Apparently the easiest PB to find there is a twin pack of 40oz jars of Skippy Super Chunk found at Costco, which is really the only reason I decided to try it at all.)

Love the GV crackers more than Whole Wheat Ritz; The Ritz ones have just become too dry and therefore don’t taste buttery. The GV version is always pretty greasy and therefore actually taste buttery, since the oil (or whatever the source of the greasiness is) is the source of the buttery flavor. These are usually a little sweeter, too, and I even prefer them over original Ritz. This box was extra toasty, so they were a little bitter, but that ended up pairing beautifully with the PB, all the flavors balanced each other out.

Only gave it a 9/10 because of the fact the PB doesn’t have quite enough peanut pieces, otherwise this definitely would’ve been a 10/10.

And, yes, that’s nearly a whole sleeve of the crackers. Probably closer to around 2/3 of a sleeve, as I ate a few before crushing them up both to make room in the sleeve to do it and I was absolutely starving and needed something in my stomach before eating the PB.

Okay, so, for important I grew up in Southern Illinois. Our grocery store options were Walmart, IGA, Save-A-Lot, and a Bigelow. Walmart was the most expensive so we rarely went there. It would’ve been between 2001-2009.

The icing on them was hard. Like really hard and crunchy similar to Smarties candy (the tiny fruity discs). The crust edges also, for lack of a better term, looked kind of like teeth but the edges were super smooth. The attached pic is a screenshot of some that had the type of smooth, perfect edges (think of the tops of animal crackers for whqt I mean by “smooth” here) that I drew lines on to give you an idea of what the “teeth” thing looked like; It was like they sorta scored the edges into a bunch of little squares. I have been trying for YEARS to find them will no success. At the bottom of this post, there’s a list of ones I’ve tried that are NOT the ones I’m looking for.

Please help me find these things, I want them back because I miss the hard icing that I can crunch on and the edges that broke into little cereal piece sized bits, texture wise I absolutely loved them more than name brand poptarts!

BRANDS THAT ARE NOT WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR:

•Great Value
•Kroger
•Toast ‘Em Popups
•Clover Valley
•Brookshires

Freshly opened jar of creamy Skippy, well within date. This weirds me out every time I see it. Like the sorta “film” over the hole is kinda pale/white and just. Food anxiety is horrible, man.

EDIT: y’all seriously, this is a serious question. Stop trolling. My food anxiety is real and EXTREMELY debilitating. I’m not kidding; It’s so bad that it’s legally a disability. The troll comments are making the anxiety worse!

Was watching some segments of Whose Line and this lovely gentleman was wearing this dark red and blackish shirt that appears to have a rose pattern on it, and I INSTANTLY fell in love! Please help me find it! If it’s not still actively sold by any company, but you know of a used one for sale somewhere, I can wear up to a standard US men’s M/Medium, depending on if I want to wear it as an actual shirt or just as like a jacket (I’m leaning more towards jacket for this one), so any size up to that one! Thanks!

So I recently tried these for the first time. I have never had this specific type of tortilla chip before, I have only ever had regular white corn ones and Doritos style ones, never ones like this made with corn flour.

They are apparently made with a blend of both yellow and white corn flour. They are definitely crispy and NOT STALE (I know a stale chip when I cross one, trust me), but they could be described as being slightly chewy after that initial bite, and they have a noticeable (but not super strong) sweet aftertaste, which I am assuming is from the yellow corn because that’s exactly what the sweetness reminds me of.

I did try to look it up, and according to the AI thing on google, the texture I described is perfectly normal and how they’re supposed to be because they’re made from corn flour and flash fried so that they’re not as fragile (aka don’t shatter like glass, Google’s words, when you bite them) and will hold up much better to dipping, but I’m not 100% sure I can trust their AI answer thing completely.

So, was it right and this is normal, or should I be concerned? The texture I described is how they were when the (VERY fresh) bag was first opened, as well as a day or two after opening with having the bag sealed up in a ziplock bag to keep them fresh. I know I sound stupid for asking, but I have ARFID and emetophobia, I can’t control food related anxiety…

Thank you!

Sorry if I used the wrong flair! Pics are from the Zoologic website, not mine!

I have decided that my next doll purchase will be a Manjyu from Zoologic, but I can’t decide on the color! I plan to get it blank and customize it to sort of resemble a fox, but like I said, I can’t decide on the color! So, if you have one (or any Zoologic Critter!), please share a photo in the comments and tell me which skin color you got!

Okay, so, I want to do a custom doll for Kakuzu from Naruto Shippuden. I feel like the ResinSoul/Bobobie dolls that DenverDoll stocks are the right price for my budget, and I believe their coffee/tan color is perfect.

But I can’t decide on a body. I would prefer an SD size, but I am willing to consider MSD if necessary. None of the boys that I looked at felt “buff” enough! I have a 60cm Orlando from MiroDoll (second pic is one I took of him), and his buffness is pretty much what I’m looking for. I mean, Kakuzu is RIPPED, and I want that portrayed accurately. I mostly want SD because they have jointed hands in that size that look great, and I LOVE the idea of jointed hands.

Do they currently sell a boy doll/body that matches what I’m looking for? Or if not, is there a brand with similar pricing and a similar/identical skin tone to the one I want that DOES have a doll/body matching what I’m looking for? I don’t mind getting the head separately, that’s far from being an issue. The body is my biggest concern!

I desperately want some for mine to make her look a little extra cute when she’s working (service dog in training), and I have some ribbon that will be PERFECT for making them, but I have absolutely no idea how they’re attached. I have seen some with rubber bands, I have seen alligator clips (which obviously won’t work since her fur is so short), and I have seen huge single bows in headband form, but I have no clue how the ones the vloggers I borrowed these screenshots from are attached and I need to know if I want to make some! Thanks!

I don’t think the video said when they’re coming out, but I’m excited to hopefully get to try them all!

It’s not powdery or anything, it’s hard like the chip itself and seems to be “baked on” (well, “fried on” I guess would be the correct term here). Is this just like burnt oil/crumbs or something? Or should I be concerned? The bag does have a lot of chips with burnt spots (like actually solid black level burnt!) and the spots that are caused by eyes on the potatoes (pretty sure the chips in this bag are from the end of a batch, they’re really greasy but the smell/taste/texture makes it pretty clear that they are VERY fresh chips), but I do not recall ever seeing a spot like this on my chips even though I have seen this color on them for spots/edges that were very much overdone and on their way to being burnt.

I know I sound ridiculous, I’m sorry, but I am dealing with an extreme case of autistic burnout and my food related anxiety is through the roof thanks to said burnout. Yes, I am seeing a professional regularly about it, but that doesn’t instantly fix the burnout and the issues it’s causing. The burnout only started maybe a month ago and I started sessions about three weeks ago which are only available once per week (that’s what my insurance covers), so please don’t suggest I seek professional help with the anxiety. I already am getting help, it just takes time to work.

Didn’t see it until I had already finished cooking the rice and I am a bit concerned.
