A Review and Release History of Walmart Brand Great Value, Freshness Guaranteed, & Bettergoods Foods, Snacks, & More

Here’s the flavor profile: First, butter; then Gouda cheese; then an extremely light garlic. I’m not sure if this is mac n’ cheese per se; it’s more just a buttery chip with an authentic cheesy Gouda taste, pretty interesting because I’ve never had chips with this flavor. Texture-wise, they’re reasonably crunchy, although not as crunchy as other wavy-type chips, and they have a light coating feeling to them that you normally find in cheesy-based chips and snacks.

Overall, they’re quite pleasant and do feel premium, though, if anything, I wish it had a little spicy kick–it would complement it so well!

While I’m unsure of an exact release date, reviews date back to around mid-2024. Found May 2025.

I’m so disappointed. I love carrot cake, but this just ain’t it whatsoever. It clearly has a carrot-like flavor along with some cinnamon and even flour (uh, ew), but there’s also a bitter, artificial, almost perfumey taste that detracts from all of it. Overall, it’s not horrible; in fact, it’s at least tolerable, but I definitely prefer regular pancakes (or any other flavor, really) over these by a long shot.

While I can’t find an exact release date, I first spotted these in mid-February 2025 at Walmart. Found April 2025.

Notably, despite both of these packages containing different colored straws, they all taste the same with respect to their flavor. This means all the straws inside either of these taste identical.

Raspberry-Apricot and Tropical Guava: I can’t tell if I like these or not. Compared to other filled straws you can find on the market, these are very different. It almost feels less artificial and is actually made with more fruit. This results in a harder and stiffer texture, making them a bit annoying to bite through. The flavor is light and feels authentic, although I can’t make out what it is: apricot and some fruit, perhaps? It’s also not artificial tasting, which is great; it’s just really light, and the flavors aren’t too bold. What bothers me is that the thin inside filling isn’t noticeable and doesn’t add anything, as it’s the same texture as the straw itself! Overall, they’re enjoyable if you want an unoffending snack in terms of flavor, although they don’t offer much more.

Strawberry-Yuzu and Mango: Coated with an unhealthy amount of sour-sugary crystals–and indeed, they’re pretty sour! The texture, like the other ones, is soft-hard, although they are easier to bite through as they’re less chewy for some reason. They’re also a bit sweeter, and in addition to being sour, I find they taste better, have a bolder taste, and a slightly better texture. Aside from the sweet and sour flavor itself, it is a light strawberry and mango flavor, but it would be hard to discern without having read the package.

While I’m not sure of an exact release date for these, they may have come out alongside other Bettergoods products on April 30, 2024. Found at Walmart in April 2025.

Fairly thick, solid, almost dry cookies. They come across as lightly crunchy and sweet and with a clear almondy taste. This taste is complemented by the cool sugar powder on the outside of the cookies. Great if you like nutty-flavored snacks!

While I’m unsure of an exact release date, reviews date back to around August 2024, alongside other Bettergoods flavored cookies. Found at Walmart in February 2025.

I just cannot make out the texture. There’s a light crunch from the outside, but it’s super soft and moist on the inside, with both crunchy and chewy parts on the inside… It’s weird but so good! At the same time, it breaks apart easily, but it isn’t messy. Basically, the texture is a combination of all sorts of things, and it comes across as amazing! Flavor-wise, it’s on the sweeter side and has a yummy cinnamony sugar taste, definitely resembling a cinnamon roll!

The super creamy, sweet chocolate shell houses a lightly crunchy cookie butter filling. These flavors are so darn good together, none overpowering the other. The interesting flavor concoction and the creamy, crunchy texture are wonderful. Overall, this bar tastes premium!

Not sure of an exact release date, although reviews date back to September 2024. Found December 2024.

A plain, slightly dark milk chocolate bar with a thin white layer of filling. The key lime inside isn’t too strong; it’s about right and pretty light. It is both creamy and has a lightly sweet and limey taste. Together, the chocolate works well with the filling. I could see most people enjoying this!

A moderately sweet mix of milk chocolate and vanilla-like spread. The consistency and some of the flavor remind me of frosting. I’m not sure if I noticed ingrained crunchy bits as I put it on toast, however. It’s smooth and spreads well, and I can see this put on most baked goods as well.

Released around mid-2024 alongside other flavors. Found at Walmart during the late summer season. Found September 2024.

A little chunky with the added crunchy bits. This spread is like you melted Hershey Cookies and Cream bars–Really, the taste and sweetness level are identical. Great for bread and other pastries.
