  • "Why does supertaster review this kind of stuff?"

    Because this is the kind of stuff that Supertaster reviews. That's the entire POINT of Supertaster.

  • Why does supertaster review this kind of stuff?

    Why not go out and find us food that is fit to eat, really make a contribution here? What a waste of space.

  • We have the A&W rootbeer one, its pretty good.

  • Supertaster, I respectfully disagree. I have had the cupcake flavor magic shell and it did infact taste like cupcake. Usually your judgements are spot-on but this time that is not the case.

  • You guys, you have to play the video. The reviews are on the video.

  • Yea, there is nothing here.

  • Think about what?
