Consumer Product Review

Thomas J  McCabe

Last night for dessert, I ate a Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Roll along with some ice cream. It had been several months since I last ate one of these snack cakes and I'm glad that I decided to purchase one of them.

This cake roll is flavorful and inexpensive and I think it would be a good item to review. Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is an article which reviews and examines the Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Roll.

Size
The net weight of the standard sized Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Roll is 2.2 ounces (61 grams). One of these rolls counts as one serving. In physical size, the roll measures in at roughly 6" x 2.5".

Price
The incredibly low regular retail price charged for one 2.2 ounce Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Roll at Hartford, Connecticut area food retailer is $0.50c. That is the price that is printed on the front label.

Texture / Consistency
This tasty strawberry shortcake roll features a soft texture that is quite appealing. The cake part of the roll co-mingles with a strawberry filling and a creamy white filling, then the ingredients are all rolled - up together into a cylindrical shape. The overall mouth feel offered by this snack cake is very agreeable.

Nutritional Facts

This cake roll also contains 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram trans fat, 9 grams total fat, 15 mg of cholesterol, 150 mg of sodium, 40 grams total carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 27 grams of sugars and 1 gram of protein, per one roll serving.

Taste / Flavor
This strawberry - flavored snack cake really does taste pretty good, but I don't necessarily think it tastes like strawberry shortcake. Then again, given the fact that the cake largely contains artificial ingredients, the flavor replication isn't completely off the mark. The cake part of the roll tastes pleasant enough, but its flavor is somewhat overshadowed by the strawberry and creme style fillings.

Even though the Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Roll is fairly small in physical size, it packs a lot of flavor into a small product. For the most part, I think that this snack cake is quite tasty, but due to its sweetness, I find that eating one of them is enough to satisfy my sweet cravings and appetite. On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of 8.75.

Packaging
The Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Roll is packaged in a clear plastic wrapper that features red, white and blue printing. The front label of this tube shaped snack cake has an illustration of two little strawberries in the lower right corner and the rear label lists all pertinent ingredient and nutritional information. Inside the wrapper, the cake roll sits on a piece of cardboard, which helps to keep the shape of the cake intact.

Overall Rating
If you're a fan of snack cakes and you enjoy eating sweet, fruit flavored varieties, there's a good chance you would enjoy eating a Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Roll. These cylindrical shaped cake rolls possess a lot of flavor and they taste really great when paired with some ice cream.

Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Rolls are quite inexpensive and are regularly stocked and sold at food retailers across America.
