Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers Giveaway

Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers

I received a gift pack of Del Monte Products to try out and review. The Del Monte products, information and two gift packs have been provided by Del Monte. Opinions are 100% my own.

We have not tried any of these fruit in a squeeze pouch/bag products from any company with our kids before trying out the Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers™. In our house the verdict was split right down the middle. Andrew really enjoyed his Peach-Mango and couldn’t get enough of it. Eva however was not thrilled with her Strawberry from the Simply Fruit variety. She prefers her strawberries cut up and not squeeze versions. I was really surprised that she didn’t like it and I thought that we’d get another snack option for her to take to school now that she has to take two snacks and a lunch to school each day. Also I wish that we’d gotten the gift pack sooner because the lunchbox included would have been perfect to send with Eva to school to hold one of her snacks each day. She need to bring in two snacks each in individual bags, labeled with AM Snack or PM Snack and also they have to say Nuts or No Nuts. Rather than buy paper bags we bought two insulated reusable lunch bags just about the same size and shape as the Del Monte one we received in this gift set.

I took one of the Strawberry Fruit Burst Squeezers™ to work with me to try out. It had an interesting taste to it. It was strawberry one of my favorite fruits. But I’m like Eva, I prefer my strawberries cut up or whole and not squeezable. I can see how these Fruit Burst Squeezers™ would be a good option if you are on the go and don’t have the time to wash, cut and package strawberries. Kids can still get a 1 1/2 serving of fruit from the Fruit Burst Squeezers™ (as stated on the packaging).

So, in our house at least, it looks like Andrew will be enjoying the rest of our Fruit Burst Squeezers™. And, since he likes them we’ll probably get him more.

What about your family? Would you like to try out these Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers™?

I have a gift pack to give away with all of the same things that I received. Read on for more details.

MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants Troll Mech Ambush Giveaway and Swarm’s Mech Invasion Review

Double Troll Mechs

I’ve been reviewing a bunch of MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants sets and many of them were sent to me for review. This set however, was one that I bought myself and the other one was one that my daughter bought herself. The giveaway set, though, was provided by MEGA bloks. Opinions about all the sets are 100% our own.

One of the cooler villains in the Skylanders series are the Troll Mechs. They are big and bad ass. They fire a ton of missiles at the Skylanders and are hard to destroy. Then, when you do destroy the Mech itself a troll jumps out and continues to attack the player. I think that MEGA Bloks has done some incredible work on this particular set because the Mech looks so perfect.
