In this thread I will be reviewing all kinds of "healthy" frozen foods from the supermarket. I like to keep this thread separate from the TGIF and Pizza reviews just because it makes sense to, and besides, all the healthy food, green earth sustainability and eco-lovers can skip the pizza and TGIF and browse the thread that may included products that might actually interest them. Right now I have a good stock of Weight Watchers Smart Ones products that I got at the Waldbaum's. The one that I went to had only 1 freezer isle, so selection was slim, even thou they had lots of Weight Watchers Smart Ones products to choose from.

The 1st review to start this thread will be on Weight Watchers Smart Ones - Mini Cheeseburgers. That's right: "healthy" cheeseburgers. When I saw the pack of them in stores I was like "Cheeseburgers...healthy? Why not!" and grabbed a 1 box to sample and review. When I came home and opened the box, I was like "WTF?!, these cheeseburgers are tiny!" and only then I took a closer look and found that they were "mini". Iniktially in the store I expected to get something similar in size to Fast Bites or Cafe W cheeseburgers, but at home I wound up with these mini sliders with cheese.


In the box there are 2 mini cheeseburgers and each one of them weights 2.46 ounces or (70 grams), which is a tiny serving for someone like me. I heated it up in the baggie, like it was said on the box and it came out very hot. I waited 3 minutes for it to cool down and then gave it a bite. The bun tasted like any other decent hamburger bun with no special noticed tastes. The meat patty on the other hand was leaner than the other patties in hamburgers/cheeseburger that are available in the frozen food isle. Most of the grease that was inside the cheeseburger came from the cheese. Since the patty was leaner than the most, the taste of it was average and nothing special. The cheese played big part in this mini cheeseburger because without it the burger would taste below average. My verdict is to skip buying these 2 mini cheeseburgers even if they are on sale for $2.49.


I think that I will contact the manufacturer and let them know that I think that their packaging graphic is deceptive and that they should do something about it, like compensate me for the moral damages. Nowhere on the packaging did it said something like "cheeseburger shown slightly enlarged to show the details".
