Remember the Fly in my “Newman’s Own Organic” olive oil? Well, I did not get $10,000.00 or free olive oil for life. Instead I got a gift box and this is what I received: 
And now that I got my compensation, I am not sure what to do with it! First of all , they sent like 6 giant candy bars, and about 10 boxes of cookies!! Out of all the candy bars, there was only 1 that was true dark, dark chocolate (which is what I like) 
Of course that didn’t keep me from eating a few more! (Chocolate=yum!) But the cookies?? I do not eat cookies. Hubby might eat a couple , but most of them we will just give away to the kids/grandkids, or Jerry will take them to work. And really, it is not like they are bad cookies, it is just something that I have no use for.
I received 4 tins, and 16 rolls of mints. There were 4 different flavors: peppermint, winter-mint, cinnamon, and ginger. There were 2 bags of mini rice cakes: cinnamon and salted. The cinnamon were tasty. I had a few and Sara finished the bag! We haven’t tried the salted ones yet—not sure about those! The one thing that I know will get eaten is the 2 bags of pretzels. Jerry loves pretzels! The dried cranberries I might try but I would never buy them on purpose! I love craisins, but dried cranberries are just not the same–a bit too sweet for my taste! And the dried apricots?—I don’t think so!! That pretty much completed our gift box, except for the replacement olive oil—NO FLY!
I am not exactly sure how to feel about this gift box. I was wondering if Newman’s ORGANIC might make anything that is actually healthy or good for you? Besides the olive oil, I would not purchase any of the other products that were sent. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed. Maybe I should return it—-and hold out for the big bucks! (kidding!)
I did send back the fly, and I am sure that most of the products that we received will get eaten by someone! In fact, one of the boxes of cookies is already gone! My grandson Michael sure did like the “Fig Newman’s!” But that is not the end of the story! As an extra bonus, I received a bottle of balsamic vinegar! Thank you Newman’s Own. That was a treat! Life is good!
