A few weeks ago, I received a huge box of these:

Dole Sugar Free Gels

And I’ve been avoiding the review. Because I wasn’t a big fan.

The lady who requested the review is a sweetheart. We have emailed and I really like her. And she sent me a huge box. And a lot of coupons.

But I didn’t really like them. I realize that it is just a preference thing. They aren’t bad. They just aren’t for me.

The good news is they are very nastalgic for me. There are things that I remember fondly from elementary school. When our 4th grade teacher had us grab the towels out of our cubbies and we learned about the environment sitting outside under the trees. Or when I was in 5th grade and David Lucas dropped his pencil out of the window and Jenifer and I laughed so hard and so long that we had to go sit in the hallway. Or when all the girls in my class were coralled into the tiny copier room to learn about Julie’s Story. Or when Kenney cut his middle finger off with the paper cutter.

Where was I going? Oh yeah. How these reminded me of elementary school. I used to love when we had the fruit-salad-in-jello squares. I loved them. And these reminded me of them. And that made me smile.

I have some coupons for these. I’m sure you’ll like them. Nathan did. Leave me a comment and I’ll send you some coupons so you can try. And, when you say great things about them, let me know so I can send nice comments to the nice Dole lady.
