Why? Why? photo from walmart.com[/caption]I have no words to describe this. No words. In fact Wal-Mart has no words to describe this either. The jar is devoid of any indication of the flavors the dip is supposed to have. The Wal-Mart website has no real description. Under the item description it has two words: Great Taste. That gives me no idea what it's supposed to taste like. There could have been some nice prose about artisan cured bacon and handmade cheese. But there isn't. It's almost like Wal-Mart knew this was awful. They didn't want to get our hopes up.
Going by the picture on the front of the jar I believe it should be a mix of sour cream, bacon, onions and cheddar cheese. It should be great, or at least edible. I like all those things. And I'll be dipping deep-fried potatoes into it. It should all work. It doesn't.
The "bacon" is tiny pieces of chewy fake meat like substance that tastes vaguely like canned chili. It just has that cumin and liquid smoke flavor. The texture is horrible. If you were to soak bacon bits in water for a couple of days, I imagine they would take on this texture. I just shuddered while typing that.
I assume the actual dip base is supposed to taste like sour cream. I'm not sure what it tastes like, but it's not sour cream. I just can't place the flavor. The "bacon" is the predominate flavor. The onions and cheese are nowhere to be found. Really this is awful.
Like I said, this could have been great.
