Light Life says:Veggie dog wrapped in pretzel dough.

Heather says: Let me first admit that my contributions to this site have made me perhaps a little bit more of a spendthrift in my grocery shopping forays than I once was. In the name of each assignment, I somehow feel emboldened in my choices of food product. This isn’t confined to my participation here. I normally like to try new things, and that extends to my food choices. I’m an anthropologist, after all, so I suppose it’s only natural.

So it was that I found myself at Whole Foods last night pondering this product. Someone would actually make this and eat it? And, I imagine, if it is here on this market shelf, somebody must be buying it. So then, why not me?

My first thought about reading this product’s rather lackluster description was that it needed more adjectives, and perhaps more creative marketing. After having tasted it, however, I found that the description is spot-on, and that there simply aren’t any complimentary adjectives that could be used to more accurately describe it. As you can see, this product looks just like a hot dog. It tastes like not much of anything at all. If I were forced to describe it, however, I would say that it most definitely does taste like a veggie hotdog wrapped in a pretzel.

So, yes, the next time I’m craving a hot dog wrapped in a pretzel, I imagine this would suffice. However, the only circumstances under which I can imagine that happening ever again would be if I was starving to death and every single other edible thing had suddenly vanished from the face of the earth (bugs and dirt included).

In short, thumbs way down.
