Months ago (almost a year now), I was given samples of the kids snack called Giddy in return for an honest review. This was my first chance at testing out a product that was being introduced to the local markets which would help spread the word on this product and unfortunately I failed. UBER FAILURE!
But I gave them my word so here I will FINALLY provide my review...
Giddy Dip 'ems Snacks
What's a "Giddy Dip 'ems"? Giddy Dip 'ems is a healthier alternative to the artificial convenient snacks that are out there in the market targeted for a child's consumption. It's made of all natural ingredients making it the wholesome snack that parents crave for their child. The best part is that they are pretty simple snacks. They are whole grain biscuits that you dip into fruit... REAL fruit!
Here's a few things you should know about the Giddy snacks:
- NO high fructose corn syrup
- All natural ingredients
- NO artificial flavors, colors or preservatives
- Biscuits are baked with whole grains
- Fruit dip is made of REAL fruit
Now, since this is an actual review, I will provide you, my reader, a fair and honest review.
Let me first start off by saying that when I was given a sample of the product, it was when it was being introduced into the market. I sampled the product, as well as, provided samples to local children and parents to get their opinions of the product. I then provided my reviews to Sally herself, which her and her company took seriously and made some adjustments to the product based on reviews. A company that listened to their customers? Yes, they do exist!! As of yet, I have not tasted the updated versions so my review is based on the original product. Does this null and void my review? Maybe but you should know anyway.
So my grade for the ORIGINAL Giddy Dip 'ems was a B+. Both Saya baby and I loved the biscuits. I thought they were really yummy and quite sturdy as they stood up to my then 6 - 8 month old teething baby. The snack is intended for children 3+ years but when Saya was eating these snacks, she was under full supervision as I imagine that it can be a choking hazard for smaller children. Not only did they taste great they were cute in size and perfect for the little hands to grip and dip. In fact, many of the children that taste tested this product liked the biscuits because they tasted like cookies! SCORE!! A health food that taste like yummy cookies!!
Now for the fruit dip. This honestly got mixed reviews which obviously depends on people's taste preferences. I personally thought it tasted like jelly and wasn't bad but wasn't great either. The flavors were on point though. The grape tasted like grape and the sour apple was indeed sour. My only complaint was that the fruit syrup was too thin. I was told, however, that the consistency of the fruit syrup was changed in version dip 'ems part II. Anyway, as I mentioned it received mixed reviews. My sister drank the tropical flavor because she loved it so much while some kids liked it but didn't love it.
Having said all this, I would definitely buy this as a snack for Saya baby! She couldn't get enough of the biscuits and that is enough for me. A natural snack that my child enjoys, is a winner in my book. Hopefully yours too!
If you see them on your supermarket shelves, check it out! If you do find and buy, comment on this post with your opinion. I am sure Sally and company will be pleased to hear your thoughts!
Sorry Sally for being so late!!
