\nOh ho! I’ve found another flavor or Pucca to go with the already reviewed chocolate<\/a> and almond<\/a>. This one is called New York Cheesecake (as it says on the package) and I was quite looking forward to some tasty cheesecake Pucca goo stuffed inside a cute but rather bland pretzel fish like entity. Assuming NY Cheesecake was using the same cute but rather bland pretzel fish like entity shell, that is.<\/p>\n

I am happy to say that the NY Cheesecake pretzel fish like entity shell is just a wee bit tastier than the pretzel fish like entity shell found around the last two Puccas. Huzzah! I *could* have gone for maybe an insignificantly teeny tiny titch more salt but on the whole, this pretzel shell was the surprisingly tastier of the three. Huzzah! I love it when the JSFR universe listens to my criticisms and hops-to to correct them. It’s not perfect but I’d say it’s maybe a 16th of a pea from pretzel fish like entity shell perfection. Really, I’m not going to quibble over a sixteenth of a pea.<\/p>\n

I am going to quibble over the cheesecake Pucca goo though. I don’t know about y’all, but the cheesecakes I’ve had really don’t taste like cheese. Well, they do taste a bit like cream cheese but cream cheese is not cheddar or Swiss so I don’t expect to taste cheese<\/i> cheese when I eat a cheesecake. Imagine my surprise when the pleasant sweet of the goo (which is indeed a nice Pucca goo sweet) flowed over my tongue along with…what I would describe as processed cheese food spread flavor. If you happen to remove the cheese from a cheese Combo, mix it with a bottle of corn syrup and then repack it back into the pretzel shell, that’s about what Pucca is offering here. Except in cute fishy shapes. And with a soft quasi chocolate-esque Pucca goo filling instead of actual cheese food but the similarities remain. Yeah, I’m going to have to knock some pea points off because I’ve never tasted a New York Cheesecake that has been processed cheese food spread flavored.<\/p>\n

The other Pucca managed a 4 pea rating, which I can’t really in good conscious grant the NY Cheesecake Pucca. True, the plus pea points for a nice pretzel coating and the minus pea points for misrepresenting NY cheesecake should cancel out but the overall flavor of the processes cheese food spread isn’t really thrilling. I think I’ll go with an average rating, because they are fairly good as meh cheese flavored processed cheese food spread Pucca but think of it as a really unenthusiastic<\/p>\n
