Walmart has a new kind of gourmet jellybean wishing to compete with Jelly Belly. It's Gimbal's Jelly Beans. Priced quite a bit more cheaply than Jelly Belly per ounce, the Gimbal bag features 41 flavors. Many of these are direct knock offs of Jelly Belly counterparts, including: buttered popcorn, roasted (not toasted) marshmallow, pear, and tutti frutti. The Gimbal bean is a bit larger than a jelly belly. Flavor is not as smooth or loyal to the real world and the bean itself was less chewy than a Jelly Belly. In the end, the Gimbal bean doesn't stack up to the Belly. Not too shabby though, and priced right.
I went in with Erin to pick up the new Red Hot Chili Peppers double album. Reviews call it very good and I agree! It has 28 songs on 2 discs and I found it for 12.98 at Target. Good deal for a good record.
Continuing my dark chocolate phase, I couldn't pass up Paul Newman's Sweet Dark Chocolate Bar on sale at Walmart. It's good. Not as intense as some, but tasty and apparently organic.
