When I plan to review a product, it is usually one that I have had several times (or bites) and feel that it is worthy of a blog post. I often come across mediocre food and move on from it forgetting to do a review. Every so often, I come across something so terrible that I feel like I cannot let a single person waste their hard earned money to buy said product. That is where we are today. I am a kale chip fan, even of this brand, but the product at hand today was so disgusting. I plan to come back and review one of their delicious flavors, but you must be informed of this particular flavor and to stay away. Both Julie and I gagged at the smell and taste of this product. We asked two other people to try it who also felt the same way. Then we asked my toddler to give it a try. He actually ate a few and then said he was done. I think he wanted to like them, but just could not. The compost pile is currently eating this snack. You are probably wondering how kale chips could be this bad. Please read on for more information.
Product: Brad’s Plant Based Crunchy Fruit Kale Chips
Overall Grade: F
Pros:
- They are healthy. Sure, they taste horrible, but at least they are good for you. And they are gluten free. Maybe this is why people think vegan, gluten free is not palatable.
- They are a brand I trust, in general, so I will continue to buy their other flavors.
Cons:
- They smelled putrid. The smell was something like a fruity, earthy, death. I accidentally got a whiff before I took a bite. Big mistake.
- The taste is…indescribable. I like beets and I like strawberries and I’ve eaten these things together and liked them. I don’t understand why they tasted so bad in this kale chip.
- They have oats. Normally, that would not be such a bad thing, but I think that contributed to the rank flavor.
- Whatever price was paid, was too much. Julie, purchased these and I know she thinks that they were not money well spent.
- These are being sold with other kale chips. These give kale chips a bad name. If I had never had, or made, kale chips and picked these up I would have thought all kale chips were bad.
Veggie Product Reviews 
My wife came home with these, thinking theyd be a good snack for our 1 yr old son and asked me to give them a try, same strawberry beet flavor. I honestly have never eaten something so putrid. They tasted like pure bile. I eat everything, love stinky cheese, nothing bothers me, but this felt like I was eating crispy throwup. I had to gargle coffee and scarfed down cheez itz to get the stank out of my mouth, gagging in the process. The whole day I kept thinking back on how horrible these were and how there can’t be a human that could stomach these. How the fuck did these get made, someone tried these at this company and thought someone would enjoy this. I don’t know whether to take these back to Whole Foods out of principle or to bring them over to a friends house this weekend to catch their reactions. Fuck Brad, you ruined my mouth for today.

We also don’t understand how the company thought that anyone would actually like these. Bile is a good way to describe them.
