By now, I really shouldn't be surprised at some of the crap I find when I'm bottom-feeding at the local dollar store. But this really wins the prize: a chemical soup masquerading as "Sourcreme." (Love the label: Unreal!!! Why would anyone be proud of that?)I really don't get it. Not even the dollar price tag can make this slop appeal to me - especially since anyone can get real sour cream at the supermarket on sale for about a dollar (and it's usually a dollar all the time at some of the discount supermarkets like Price/Rite or Sav-A-Lot.) Just about any argument anyone can make in favor of buying this can be refuted:
- It's not cheaper - As I've already pointed out, the same quantity of real sour cream can be had at the discount supermarkets. In fact, Price/Rite usually carries Axelrod or Friendship - both brands which have no added thickeners or gums - just cream, milk, and culture.
- It's not non-dairy for the lactose intolerant - there's whey protein concentrate and nonfat dry milk in it.
- It's not lower in fat - in fact, a greater percentage of this slop's calories come from fat than in real sour cream.
but the label says "Great Taste!"
ReplyDeleteI guess that they don't subscribe to the whole truth in advertising approach. This stuff should be a definite pass for me. For the most part I stay far away from the fridge section of my dollar store. Experience has taught me well.
