Goldfish Cheddar Cheese Crackers Single Serving 1 1/2 Oz Snack Packs

I find myself repeatedly buying Goldfish Cheddar Cheese Crackers Single Serving 1 1/2 Oz Snack Packs for my two and a half year old son. Every time we go to the supermarket and he spots these, they somehow end up in my shopping cart. Actually, the last time we bought these we were shopping at Target. My son spotted them on the end of an aisle where they display things and wouldn't you know it, watch out, goldfish come flying over my head and into the shopping cart. This is one snack I don't mind my son pulling off the shelf and throwing into the cart. Usually when he does this, I have to dig around the cart and remove the item when he isn't watching or even better, wait until we checkout and tell the clerk to "make this item disappear". I wonder how many other parents do the same thing. Geez, I hope I am not the only one.

What I like about the snack bags is that they only come with a handful of goldfish. I don't have to worry about wasting money because my son wanted to eat goldfish but only wanted 10 not 50. My son likes to walk around the house carrying his very own special bag of goldfish. Unfortunately, so do my two dogs. So you can imagine there is quite a battle going on when this happens. The last time my son ate the goldfish, he decided he wanted to dump the bag all over the dining room floor. At first, I was upset, but then I realized it was just a small bag and it was easy to cleanup. He actually cleaned it up himself because by then I got smart and gave him a little bowl to put all of the goldfish in. Needless to say, the dogs ended up cleaning my dining room floor, gross I know.

Taste:

I know that my son loves these but I am not a huge fan for myself. I find a little too airy. I don't like to bite into things that don't have substance. My son likes to feed them to me and sometimes I pretend to eat them. There is nothing wrong with the taste, I actually do like the taste, just not the consistency. My husband on the other hand, loves goldfish. My husband and my son have similar taste. I am too picky. I would also suggest keeping a drink nearby. I find the goldfish to be a little salty and dry. What I do like about this product is that it is baked with real cheese. This makes it a healthier alternative for my son to snack on.

Appearance:

They are bite size, perfect for my son. I don't worry that he will choke because they dissolve pretty quickly once you pop them in your mouth. They are in the shape of a fish, shocking! They are even gold in color. Actually, a little more on the orange side. They are about an inch long and really look like a goldfish.
