Product Review: Goodie Girl Magical Animal Crackers

[runpunkrun]

Goodie Girl Magical Animal Crackers: I think we can all agree, the most important thing about animal crackers is what kind of animals we'll be eating. "Magical" ones according to the box. This includes:

• Unicorn
  • on a scooter
  • playing a guitar
  • dabbing
• Mermaid (isn't this at least partly cannibalism??)
  • mermaid hugging/subduing a fish (cannibalism all the way down)
• Dragon
• Narwhal (I'm sorry, but these are real animals?)

Despite its non-magical nature, the narwhal was my favorite because it was a nice shape and noticeably thicker than the other cookies, more like what I expect from an animal cracker. The guitar-playing unicorn was particularly thin as well as being a weird narrow rectangle because the unicorn was at open mic night, I guess, and standing upright on its hind legs. It just raises a lot of questions is all. Anyway. How do they taste? The oat flavor is quite pronounced, which I normally don't mind, but found distracting here, and I missed the traditional animal cracker flavor of lemon or vanilla. So they're not my platonic ideal of an animal cracker, but once I managed my expectations, they were good enough.
