Figure It Out Friday: week 3
As I was walking through the grocery store yesterday, something crossed my mind. The food industry has really deep pockets. And really expensive lawyers. Even though they could probably care less about little ‘ol me and my blog, they aren’t someone I need poking around. Sooooo……..we’re gonna change things up just a bit. No more brand names. And I’m even going back and deleting brand names from the previous posts. Let’s just not go there. You can still guess by flavor, product type, etc. let’s just leave the big names alone.
Now, are you ready to get excited about this weeks giveaway?! Mountain Rose Herbs is sponsoring this weeks Figure It Out Friday and they are giving away a $20.00 gift certificate to the winner!! And if you’ve never ordered from them, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s the only place in the last year that I’ve ordered my herbs and spices from this past year. They have great prices and I find that all the products I’ve bought from them have been fresher and of higher quality than what I would find in grocery stores. Here’s a little ditty about them:

Hi Donielle,
so I’m taking a guess that it’s Honey Bunches of Oats or another cereal brand with banana in the title. Second guess would be muffins, but I think with the BHT that it’s a cereal. Hugs- kelly

No fair hiding the comments. I like seeing other people guess. Oh well. I’m going to say a muffin or banana bread mix since banana flakes are a weird ingredient.
