any idea of when the next new item is coming. also somebody stated that the keylime pie and mixed berry bar are coming back-- can anyone confirm this?

[PattieD]

Not fond of the Banana Cheesecake either. Got one last week. Not really cheesecake at all. The temporary foods rotate every few months so the Keylime pie should be back around soon. I always stock up on those so yummy.

Pattie wasnt the key lime pie for summer last year?

I was so excited about the Bananas Foster Cheesecake....until I ate it. Too grainy and not the consistency of the other cheesecakes. But, what a treat to be able to eat dessert every day while on a 'diet' don't you think? So happy to be back on JC.

personally i like the skinny cow ice cream! loved the key lime pie though! i might have to buy 100 of them if they do come back LOL

Not only do these taste horrid, I just found out they contain inulin. Was wondering why i was suddenly getting cystic acne, when my skin has been clear since giving up the Anytime Bars. I broke out the day after eating the Bananas Foster. What's worseis I ate another one today, hoping it would taste better and not realizing it contained the dreaded inulin.

I like JC but I wish they would warn us about which foods contain this dreaded ingredient. My stomach is going to be wrecked and now there is no hope of my skin clearing up by the weekend. Why they insist on using inulin when so many people are sensitive is beyond me. And yes, inulin can cause skin issues. It's readily available info on the Internet.

I bought three bananas fosters. I'm throwing the last one in the trash. It tastes like chalk anyway.

I too am disappointed with the Bananas Foster Cheesecake. The first couple of bites were pretty good but then it got bad really fast. Kind of a chemical aftertaste. Bummer.

Maybe my expectations were too high - bananas foster is one of my favorite deserts.

Well the inulin explains the chalky and griddy taste.....inulin is fiber added to jc food to make you feel fuller faster and for longer.....but in cheesecake? BLECH

Awww, I'm sad to see all these bad reviews! I was looking forward to a new yummy dessert. I think I'm still going to order one on Wednesday anyway, I feel like I should try everything at least once. I'll get back to you with my verdict...

[alissa018]

I'm hoping I differ from the consensus! I ordered two cheesecakes today because i know they sell out fast. I'm going to try it soon. We'll see.... I did get the mixed berry bar today though; from what i understand it IS back indeed.

[Susantj]

Oh no! I bought two and now I'm afraid to try them!

[Skizzie]

Don't be afraid to try them. I loved the one I had today and am buying a lot more. You have to like bananas, which I do. The mixed berry bars are coming back? Someone in my Center found out they were discontinued and bought all of them. I was so mad. I had just been buying one or two here and there. Now they are gone.

I dont think thats fair one bit! I think JC should equally hash out the disc. foods fairly to everyone and not give them ALL to one person.....I so hate when that happens. Whenever something was disc. and I was buying the last of them, I always left a few for others....I would feel so guilty doing that.

well had to go to my center as i got a deformed pizza. asked if they got any of the berry bars in and they said no they didnt know they were avail again. what????? how is this possible that some centers know about it and order it and some dont know anything about it

[anticipating2011]

I'll have to agree! I tried the Bananas Foster Cheesecake two nights ago and I hated it. And I do love bananas, so it had nothing to do with that. It had a bad after taste for some reason too. I'll be sticking to the chocolate cheesecake!

[alissa018]

yep - my center definitely has the mixed berry bars. I got one yesterday and ate it this morning. It was my first time eating this breakfast and I loved it! I'll have to go back and get a couple more.

I thought the same thing. I didn't think it had a very strong banana flavor, but rather a lingering lemonish flavor. I was a little disappointed. It wasn't terrible, but not one I'll be buying again.

[TampaJane]

I liked it ok- I didn't know it had inlulin. I usually get a stomach ache from it and managed not to with the bananas foster. I was just excited for a change, I ate it while it was slightly frozen because I was in the mood for ice cream.

[AnnLouise]

My expectations were high, too. I thought the Bananas Foster cheesecake was going to be unbelieveable.
I was disappointed. Love the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. Cookies & Cream is good, too.

[vampi]

i cant eat the other cheesecakes as i am allergic to coconut and they both have it supposedly
