One fateful day, as I was shopping at Costco, they had a person hawking them with samples. My husband said he has never seen me stop so fast as when I spotted them. They were cut up into little pieces and I tried one and swooned. I immediately purchased a box, I was sooo excited about them! The next morning I jacked open the box and found this...............
Sadly disappointing in size and the amount of cream cheese was quite sparse, nothing like the photo on the box. I then realized they were 200 calories a pop, 5 grams of Fat, and 31 carbs. I was pretty sure that it would not last me till lunch and I was right. It is more of a snack size item if you ask me, or possibly a breakfast for a child, and they really aren't that great tasting after all.
That, my friends is my story!

The BOX is my kinda serving size!! That is probably why I get the "Come back to Weight Watchers for Free" crap in my mailbox all the time.

I've not heard of these yet. I don't quite understand what they are, but will look out for them. Thanks for the review and don't you just hate when that happens?
awww..I'm sorry it turned out to be disappointing..
I havent heard of these things here in NJ yet, but I shall avoid them based on this review. These kraft people should learn they must please the consumer. Not falsely advertise the size of what they are doling out.
I CANT stand when people, specially men, lie about size, ya know?
oh I have seen those guys around for at least two years now in san diego. darn costco samples making everything delish. I agree, that is way too small for all those calories! Might as well eat a bagel with light cream cheese!
o and this is funny: i have been reading your blog for a while now but the other day i was googling a recipe (i forget what now) and your site was the first one to pop up! that was so cool
ah those dirty bagel people! that wouldn't last me for an hour, let alone all morning!
convenience foods... what an odd term for "usually a disappointment".
Thanks for sharing, wish it was better for you
I had been looking at these every time we went grocery shopping but i never wanted to pay the outrageous price. Trisha called me one day to tell me " Mom, dont be fooled by these cause they are dry and have next to no filling inside...dont buy them!!" That being said I never did and I very happy that I listened to her.
Too bad about the taste, though!!
Thanks for sharing!
Awww, hell. I hate it when that happens. Know what? At first, I thought you found a pair of glasses in the box! (No, I did not have wine for lunch). Then, I realized it was a size comparison. Duh. I love bagels, but I eat the rarely...cuz I know how naughty they are!
I've seen those... my daughter always asks for them... but I haven't tried them!
Thanks for sharing your review, Cheryl. Sucks that you dropped the cash for such a disappointment! I hate it, too, when the pic on the box looks like a big ole serving, and you're woefully disappointed when you open it. I think I'll stick to the real deal!
