Particularly at WalMart, which I have to do on my own, because Mrs. Burgerdogboy refuses to cross their doorstep. Not sure why. Don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a political protest. \u00a0She may feel it&#8217;s &#8220;beneath her&#8221;, which would be hilarious as she has no problem stocking her wardrobe at Goodwill. Now that creeps ME out for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s score was a pepperoni melt in a pretzel roll. $2.48. \u00a0According to the USDA label, it was made in Valencia, CA, by a company called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/betterbakeryco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Better Bakery<\/a>&#8221; and apparently &#8216;pretzel sandwiches&#8221; are their specialty.<\/p>\n<p>The packaging describes the &#8220;sandwich&#8221; as &#8220;sliced pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and pizza sauce, hand rolled into a soft pretzel bread sandwich.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nuke or conventional oven at 350 for 20 minutes. \u00a0If you&#8217;re a regular reader, you know I always opt for a conventional oven heat, it&#8217;s just my thing.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a nice roll, tho I wish it somehow could have a crispier exterior. \u00a0As for the innards? \u00a0Really don&#8217;t taste like anything. \u00a0I can&#8217;t say if it&#8217;s comparable or better than say, a hot pocket, cause I&#8217;ve never been brave enough to try one of those.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s 10 oz of sandwich, so it&#8217;s a better value than most pre-prepared store sandwiches. \u00a0Would I buy it again? \u00a0I was drunk, and there wasn&#8217;t a nearby White Castle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140301_151336_Android.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-11103\" alt=\"Walmart sandwich\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140301_151336_Android-1024x667.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pepperoni Pizza Melt Review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my mother&#8217;s hobbies was grocery shopping I think. \u00a0Started around the Cuban missile crisis and built from there &#8211; eventually there was enough canned, boxed and frozen goods in our basement to last through a zombie apocalypse. \u00a0I guess I picked at least part of the habit up, but I&#8217;m more fascinated by&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/?p=11100\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Pepperoni Pizza Melt Review<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16,22,25],"tags":[1062,1540,1728],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11100"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11100\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
