- I Paid: No idea (got these a while ago, honestly)
- Product Description: Klondike Slim a Bear 100 Calorie Sandwiches; Low Fat; 1.5g of Fat
I can't really remember why I bought these to begin with really, but I guess I was intrigued enough by the packaging (cue Jim Gaffigan "food packaging" skit, haha). I am actually a pretty big fan of those old-school rectangle ice cream sandwiches, so I figured I'd give these a try.
First impressions- that Slim a bear is CREEPY. In the same vein as how I feel about the Skinny Cow mascot. I mean, I get it- they're not eating the fatty ice creams so they are slim, but it's like Kelly Choi from Top Chef Masters: How can I trust someone THAT skinny when it's about food??
First bite.
Ok, after unwrapping the single sandwich and taking a bite, I didn't have so much distrust towards the Slim a bear. It had a pleasantly familiar texture of the aforementioned ice cream sandwich, including the squishy "cookie" that sticks to just about anything- your fingers, the napkin, the plastic wrap, etc. Add to that a sweet vanilla-flavored whipped ice-based product (haha, but seriously, this wasn't ice cream) and it makes for a decent couple of bites.
Final verdict? This was pretty good considering it is 100 calories and low in fat. I'd recommend it for anyone that is need of portion control ("one bowl" of regular ice cream can vary depending on who's scooping, haha). If you're a fan of those generic ice cream sandwiches but trying to watch calories, then you'll probably like this one too. I still don't like the Slim a bear though, not to mention it would totally get its butt kicked and eaten alive by the far superior original Klondike bear (mmm, square-y and sorta metallic-y tasting ice cream...)
