Mrs. Cubbison's Caesar Salad Restaurant Style Croutons
99 cents for 6-ounce package

Mrs. C has been at this for 50 years, says the company website. But the tasters didn’t seem convinced: ‘‘Too buttery.’’ ‘‘A bit strong for the palate.’’ ‘‘White bread — perhaps too light for my taste. Almost sweet aftertaste.’’ Another: ‘‘Lots of garlic, slightly greasy feeling on tongue and roof of mouth. Almost sweet finish.’’ (High fructose corn syrup is the fifth ingredient on a long list.) Other comments: ‘‘Cheesy aftertaste, not bad.’’ ‘‘Mmm, nice Parmesan start.’’
