Spiced Cider

Price: $2.99

Rating: 9/10

This is one of those drinks that I look forward to every year! If you like apples and cinnamon, I’m not sure how you wouldn’t love this drink. It was a smooth and sweet apple-y flavor, with a nice amount of cinnamon and other spices mixed in to give it a warm fall and winter flavor. I usually drink it cold out of the bottle (since you have to refrigerate it after opening) because I’m not patient enough to heat it up, but this is also really great as a warm drink. I’ve also added a bit of caramel to it a few times when drinking it warm to get a caramel apple flavor. I don’t know what else can really be said about this. It’s cider. It’s delicious. Buy 5 of them just for good measure.

Autumnal Harvest Creamy Pasta Sauce

Price: $3.49

Rating: 5/10

I tried this pasta sauce last year and couldn't really decide if I liked it or not, so I decided to give it another go this year. Unfortunately, I still can't decide how I feel about this. On one hand, it has a great creamy texture, and autumn flavors. But on the other hand, it's a little bland and doesn't really have an identifiable flavor profile. It's definitely not spicy, bitter, sour, or salty, but it's also not sweet. I'm not sure if that means that it's umami? The only real way that I can think to describe its taste is that it's creamy. Which isn't a flavor. It’s a texture. This year I tried it both with regular pasta (which was pretty decent(, as well as zucchini noodles (which I wasn't a fan of). I guess if you're a big fan of pumpkin and squash, then you might be into this, but I thought it was a little dull.
