It's new. It's innovative. It's crap in a cup.
Here's the scoop: First, it took two years to develop. Wow, what innovation! Most important: The calorie count ranges from 500 - 600. I've got news for you: A good healthy snack should be between 100 - 200 calories. This crap in a cup fails as snack. It's a meal. However, I'm sure (never tasted it) it tastes great. Eat up America!
