 Hey everyone, ShaeBear1000 here, got Monkey here. Hey. We're gonna do a review on these, they're called Snaps, Loaded Potato Sticks, and the Snaps, excuse me, Snaps, Snaps and Advertisers. These breaded and fried macaroni, I'm sorry, breaded and fried macaroni and cheese, mac and cheese bites. So we're gonna get into this, and she's also, her camera's behind you guys right now. She's also doing a video as well, she's filming as well. So, all right, I'm gonna turn you off and then I'll show you the nutrition facts. Stick her out. Okay guys, so again, here for this one, for the mac and cheese bites, here's the nutrition facts, and it does not want to focus. Maybe I'm... So if you wanna pause that and try to read it, because they are very small, as you can see, it's very small, and nutrition facts. Anyway, they both have 330 calories. So, there's three different ways, three different ways, excuse me, that you can cook these. One is the conventional oven, that's what we're gonna use. One's the air fryer and one's the deep fryer. That's for both of these. So both of these have the same, pretty much the same instruction instructions, but one of them has to be in longer. Okay, so I'll read the instructions to you guys. I'm talking a little loud because her camera's back there. It's an action cam, so the mic's not very great. I've gave her a shotgun mic and wireless lavalier mic, she refuses to use them. So if you watch this on her channel, I'm sorry. Okay, conventional oven, I'm not gonna read the other two because that's not what we're gonna do. We're gonna do it in the conventional oven, and we're gonna do it exactly the way they say. Okay, so for the mac and cheese bites, I'm showing her camera as well. You preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, which that's what we're doing now, place product on a baking sheet. It doesn't say degrees it or anything. Bake for five to six minutes, flip product over, and bake an additional five to six minutes or until golden brown. Now, on this one, for the potatoes, like I said, it's pretty much the same except, you preheat the oven, you place product on a baking sheet. This one, you bake seven to nine minutes, then you flip product over and bake an additional seven to nine minutes or until golden brown. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put them both in at the same time, I will take these ones out first. Now, our oven is pretty hot oven, so when it says seven to nine minutes, you better make it about seven, right? Yeah. So this one says five to six minutes, so I'll be taking this one out in five minutes, and I'll leave these ones in for another two. So that's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna show you putting it on a pan, and that's boring stuff. I used to do that, show me putting it on a microwave, hitting the buttons. Then I got to thinking, man, when I would watch, because she likes watching my videos, when I watch it, I thought, man, that's pretty stupid, it's pretty boring. We get it. Yeah, but it's hot. So I don't do that anymore. Sometimes I'll show you pouring it into water or something, but it's kind of a waste of time, so I'm not gonna do that. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna get these in the oven, and once they are done, we're gonna bring them out here, we're gonna show them to you, and then we're gonna try them. Yep. So stick around, guys. Okay, so I forgot to mention, Monkey picked these up at the Dollar Tree for $1.25 or whatever, and there's not many in there, but I've got to tell you, they are at the Dollar Tree, so I got one ready to come out of the oven, the other one still needs about five more minutes. Yep. Stick around. Okay, guys, this is what they look like, plate it up, you get... Show me your mic. I'll show them here. And the round ones are the mac and cheese. And the other ones are the breadsticks. So you get six of the potato sticks, and you get eight of the macaroni and cheese bites. Right. So we're gonna go ahead and give this a shot. Now, what's weird is, because like, let's say you have two children, one wants the potato sticks and one wants macaroni and cheese bites. Right. Okay, that's not weird, but what is weird is that they take different times to cook. Yeah, they do. So you need two timers. That's what I just did. So, ready, Monk? Yep, we're gonna eat this. There we go, we're gonna eat the mac and cheese first. Yeah, we're dinky-donk. Dinky-donk-ing. It's okay, it tastes like macaroni and cheese, but it just, it tastes like a macaroni and cheese casserole. Yeah. Really, all it tastes like. Yep. They're not bad. No, but. One thing I don't like about them, yeah, you can't put them in the microwave. No, you can only use conventional oven, air fryer or deep fryer. Right. And all three of those take more than a thousand watt microwave on one minute. Yeah, yeah. They need to make them microwavable. Yeah, they should, yeah, yeah. Because like I said, you know that oven there, I mean, who watches that going through for, well, one of them was, you know, about 15 minutes. Mm-hmm. You know? Yep. Same way they're air fryer and deep fryer. For $1, they're not bad at all. They're nothing right home about them. No, when I buy them again, probably not. But everybody's different and I don't like how you can't put them in the microwave. That's the biggest thing, that's a real biggie. It just tastes like you took a tiny bite of macaroni casserole. Yeah. Macaroni cheese casserole. Mm-hmm. It's not like spectacular, there's no special flavors. No. It tastes like a little tiny, it tastes like you took two noodles of macaroni cheese. Yeah. I mean, for a young child, that's probably plenty. They would love it. But I mean, for the price and then what it's gonna cost you to cook them. Right. Okay, we're gonna try the next one. And this is the potato sticks. Potato sticks. Loaded. Loaded. So, excuse me, I saw some green stuff in there, might be chives, usually loaded means cream cheese or sour cream and chives. Okay, here we go. Here we go. I taste more fred. Everybody does. Mm-hmm. I taste more of the bread than I do the inside. Yeah, and what little bit of the inside, it just, it tastes like a french fry. Yeah, maybe, yeah. Tastes like a breaded french fry. Yeah, really. I can't taste any chives, I can't taste any sour cream and that's what loaded means, right? When you have a loaded baked potato, it's got all that stuff on it. No, there's nothing. Like I said, I see the stuff in there, some green here and there. I don't see anything. To me, I don't taste the sour cream, I don't taste the green onions, which is chives, it's just the enzyme. And that's what the inside looks like. Well, I'll show you what, it's not much. Nope, it ain't much. So, I mean, you know, no. Even for kids, I wouldn't recommend it. No, well, I wouldn't want my child to use the oven or a fryer. Yeah, especially a deep fryer. Yeah, no. You know, they wanna snack before, you know, they get out of school, wanna snack before you get home from work. That's not for them. I mean, you don't want your 10-year-old using the oven, deep fryer, or an air fryer, for that matter. Just wanna be able to throw something like Wave and be done in one minute. Yeah, when it's a snack, yeah. So, what do you think over? First, let's do flavor. Okay, the flavor was, on both of them, you wanna do them together or separate? Well, separate, because they're two separate things. Mac and cheese, I can taste mac and cheese, so the flavor is there. So, I would give it maybe a three. And? And for the other one, for the potato one, I'd probably give it a two, because it's not loaded like it says it is. It's, yeah, it tastes like a French rye. Hey, what's your overall score, Stars? Maybe a two. I'm pretty much the same way, except, I'm gonna give the potato sticks a one. I'm gonna give the macaroni bites a two. That's for flavor. As far as Star Wise, I'm going with, I'm going with a one and a half on both of them. Is that on both of those, or do you have a different Star for one? No, for both. She said, what, two? Yeah. I'm going one and a half on both, I don't recommend them. No, I don't either, no. Because you think a snack is supposed to be quick. Yes. Well, we don't have an air fryer, we don't have a deep fryer. It doesn't say anything about what's these little baked ovens, the little ovens. Yeah, they don't say anything about it. Yeah, they don't say, all it is, is a conventional oven, which is a regular size oven, an air fryer, and a deep fryer. Yeah. I don't think it's practical for a snack. No, no, not practical. I mean, and for... Time-wise, that's what I'm saying, it's not, you know, no, it's not feasible. No. It's not a snack. I mean, you can put a whole pizza in the oven for 12 minutes, and they're going to tell me that six potato, six potato sticks, well, nine and nine's 18, so if you're oven, if it takes nine minutes, and then flip it, that's nine more minutes, that's 18 minutes on six of these, six ovens. And they're not, you know, look. Six ovens, that's no joke. And so you're going to turn your oven on, or you're going to heat up, you know, hot oil. Yeah. You know, but, you know, you turn your oven on, that's 18 minutes, you know. No, no, no, thank you. No. So, disappointed. As far as the thumbs, I'm giving them both two thumbs down. Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah, it's not like, if it was like packed full of flavor, where you've been in once, amazing, sure. I know a lot of our haters are going to say, what do you want for a dollar? I want what's advertised for a dollar. Yeah, if it says it's loaded, it should be loaded. No, I mean, they're loaded, and our load might be two different things, but at the same time, I mean, it's not worth it. See, they don't look at the overall picture. They just go, well, what do you want for a dollar? I want what's advertised, you know, like I've had comments on reviews I've done. Well, what do you want for five bucks? I want the product that's on the box. And I want it to do what it says it'll do. If it doesn't do it, then yeah, what do I want for five bucks? You know, I'm not the one making the claims. If they claim it does all this, it should do it. If it did, I see their point, if it did do all that, it'd be a hundred dollar item. True, but if they're claiming it does everything that a hundred dollar item does, but for five bucks, it better do it, or two thumbs down. That's right. What do you want for that kind of money? I want what's on the box. Convenience, no way. If you can't throw a microwave anymore, especially for a child. Like I said, when you get home from work, they got out of school, they want a snack, hold them over till supper. This ain't it. It's not a snack anyway. I mean, there's no way in the world, I'm gonna come out here at midnight and fire up that stove and have the stove on for 18 minutes. I'm not gonna do that. By no means, no way in hell am I gonna do that. I'm gonna make me a baloney sandwich or something, you know, or something like heath or the microwave. So yeah, even though it's $1.25, don't waste your money on it guys. No, it's not worth it. Like a snack, like some people wanna take something like that to work. Cause they eat like, they don't have a deep fryer at work. They don't have an air fryer at work. They don't have a conventional oven at work. Unless they work at a restaurant which they'll probably eat their free lunch from there. Right. But you know, like when I was at work at the shop, we had a microwave, we didn't have conventional oven. You know, we didn't have an air fryer, we didn't have a deep fryer. Nope, you couldn't even use this as for lunch, no? No, no. All right guys, so that's my video. As I choked it off. On my face. So anyways, that's it for now. Disappointed. Yeah, yeah cause it looked really good. She said, look what I got for us to make the video on. I thought they were a big deal. Cause I told her, I said, yes, if they got any video material, you know. She said, y'all check the food department. I said, cool. And then she didn't know it wasn't microwavable. I was reading it and I was like, no, there's no microwave. She said, are you serious? Cause she said, I think you gotta put them in the oven. I said, well, surely they got a microwave in the store. She said, I don't know, check. And I did. Right there, a red flag went up for both of us. Yeah, yeah. But you know, that's why we do the videos. That's right. Cause we would still try them anyway, even if we weren't YouTubers. Yeah. We just know we're not going to buy them anymore. No. So I'm going to say, Shae Berry, the mental legend, we've got for now, stay tuned for more videos and we'll see you in the next one. Bye monkeys people. Yeah. And monkey sushi now for now. Bye y'all. Bye guys. Bye guys. Stay tuned for more.
