Supermarket Sampler by Bonnie Tandy Leblang and Carolyn Wyman
Type: Text Feature
Frequency: 1x Weekly
Categories: .
Supermarket Sampler focuses on what's new on grocers' shelves and tries to sort through the extravagant claims and fancy packaging of some of the hundreds of new products that food manufacturers introduce every year. Co-authored by a nutritionist, Bonnie Tandy Leblang, and a junk-food fan, Carolyn Wyman, the feature offers competing perspectives that sometimes agree on a recommendation and sometimes not. The authors offer opinions on the products' nutritional content, ease of preparation, price points and tastiness.

This is a fun feature to read and to edit because the authors come from such different perspectives. Bonnie looks for sound nutritional content and as few additives as possible in new food products. Carolyn basically wants them to taste good and be reasonably priced. Both get their digs in now and then -- they've even compiled a list in the past of the good, the bad and the ugly of new products in a particular year, with some items getting a double forks down! They respect each other's opinions, but each isn't afraid to champion a product that the other dislikes.
