Read your post and bought some of these to try for myself.

I also tried the Turkey Stick and Crunch, and I have to say that I was blown away by the 5 different items in each uniquely-designed package.

Thanks for posting!

Sincerely,
FoodGuru :)

Found these at Target and Costco! Great value for "on-the-run" lunch prep (i.e., NO PREP) in the morning on the way to work. Love the healthy treats inside. I like that there's always a little something salty and a little something sweet!
