JAMBA JUICE All Fruit smoothie

Last year at some point I filled out a comment card at Jamba Juice, which had just opened up many locations in NYC. A few weeks ago I received a postcard mailer introducing their new All Fruit smoothie line, that included a coupon for a free All Fruit drink. Cool!

Each All Fruit has 5 servings of fruit, and does not contain anything but fruit. No added sugar or yogurt, and this seems to keep the calories down. Did you know a typical Jamba Juice has around 800 calories?? The All Fruit original size has around 300 calories. There are 5 varieties: Pomegranate Paradise, Peach Perfection, Strawberry Swirl, Mega Mango, and Rasberry Rainbow. I had the strawberry one which contains strawberries, bananas, and juice (from apples, pears, and strawberries), and it was nice and berry! Didn't taste different from a regular Jamba Juice smoothie, so I say the calorie-savings is totally worth it.

Units: 1 (coupon was for "sixteen" 16 oz. size, but was given an "original" taller size, probably because they blended too much)

OSCAR MAYER Deli Creations

Yesterday at lunch time, I saw the Oscar Mayer wienermobile parked in Times Square in front of ABC's studios where they broadcast "Good Morning America" from every morning. The ABC video screen was playing a continuous loop of a commercial for Oscar Mayer's newest pre-packaged convenience product Deli Creations.

The studios were opened up to the public, and folks were consuming sandwiches. They were giving away autographed photos of Eric Mabius (from "Ugly Betty") if you signed up for their mailing list, and at noon they gave away lunch with Eric.

What is Deli Creations? It's separately packaged bread (a "sub roll"), lunch meat, cheese, and packets of mayo and mustard that you heat up in 60 seconds for a hot sandwich lunch.

There are 5 different varities. The first one I got was Shaved Honey Ham and Swiss. The second one was Oven Roasted Ham and Cheddar. They have 2 turkey kinds, and 1 "shaved steakhouse cheddar" (now we're talkin!). I haven't eaten any of them yet (I already had decided to have pizza for lunch) and will take these new sandwich inventions to work later on in the week.

Location: Times Square (SE corner of 44th and 7th Ave/Broadway)
Units obtained: 2 sandwiches = 2 meals, not bad!
