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.
I had forgotten about Julie’s story – ah fond memories of elementary school. Life was simpler then, and while I would not trade my life now for those days – it would be cool to revisit them once in awhile. :-)
Why is David Lucas dropping his pencil out the window still the funniest thing in the world to me???!!! Ha ha, good times girl, good times. Oh, and the jello with the fruit in it…yum! Wasn’t the food in elementary school the best? I wonder if I would still think so today….Love ya!!
(And don’t forget that we were the ones who had to clean up the blood from Kenney’s finger!)
I would love a chance to try them out!
This is the nicest negative review I’ve ever read! You really are a good person!
Hi,
i am one your lurkers from australia who loves to read diet/er lifestyle change blogs – especially ww ones as i did it back in 2005 and lost 84 pounds and have kept it off since (but dont have enough time to live in blogging world)..
im noting to ask where are your recipies? i read one about white pepper chicken or something on here ages ago and didnt take the recipe then and was wondering if i can have a copy? most of your dishes sound great but some products you use dont even exist over here so i have to reinvent.
thanks in advance
Rose
Don’t feel bad that you didn’t like them. (I don’t like them either.)
