Next year, why don't you just show a picture of the Banana Pudding ice cream to let folks know it's bac,. That way you wouldn't have to put yourself through the agony of trying it!🙂

[@isso84]

This reminds me of one time when you smelled a candle in the store, didn’t like it, yet bought it. Gotta love those influencers. 😑

[@retiredrabbit5230]

Wut?

[@michelledickerson7052]

If you truly hate bananas so much why keep buying and demonstrating those products? You can just let banana lovers know that they are available and be done with it. (I’m pretty sure there are a lot more banana lovers than there are banana haters in the world.) JMHO

[@sherryhandley2863]

It would be much more informative to have someone who likes bananas to try it. They may not like it either-the quality of a product is difficult to discern if you don’t like the major ingredient already!

[@rosieleon4773]

I find this woman annoyingly smug

[@user-ob8hv2ss1h]

Girl, just walk away when you see them in TJ's.

[@likemoto1872]

Do you know that Sprouts sells dark chocolate covered honeycomb in the bulk bins? Yum 😋

[@natashaslist]

👀

[@kaylakroll6884]

I kinda hate that someone who would have loved to have that ice cream didn't get to buy it and you did knowing full well you didn't want it. Next time a photo will suffice.

[@21asdfghjkl]

They'll be okay, my God 🙄

[@alexozimek1067]

If you hate bananas so much, why bother buying and trying it? Life is too short to eat things we don't like!

[@-greentoad]

Because it's what she does. And she is not eating stuff she doesn't like. One small tiny taste is all.

[@chihuahuasrule1175]

Her husband loves bananas, so I'm sure he'll eat it.

[@-greentoad]

@@chihuahuasrule1175 Her husband? Lol. Last time I checked she didn't have a husband. 😂

[@chihuahuasrule1175]

@@-greentoad Just found out they recently separated, but they are on good terms and he stops by to help with dogsiting etc when she frequently travels.

[@Truthseeker351]

No need to taste test everything. Just remind viewers that certain products have returned.

[@-greentoad]

That's not her to not taste test. And not what her channel is about. Hmm have you watched long?

[@Truthseeker351]

@@-greentoad She had reviewed the banana pudding ice cream last year and was grossed out. Why gross yourself out again?

[@franweller1]

This is an excellent idea!

[@MJ-my7ij]

A discontinued item I miss are the Russet potato chips. So good.

[@rachelmonroe5881]

So ready for the patio chips!!! Buying lots of bags this year!

[@natashaslist]

Me too, but I hear they aren’t returning… I hope it’s just a horrible rumor

[@franweller1]

THE BANANA PUDDING ICE CREAM IS SO DELICIOUS! I SAMPLED IT AT TRADER JOE’S.

[@belgiumgirl8970]

I love your videos and always look forward to him. Please stop bringing up the banana thing every couple minutes.

[@joycebecerra9020]

Not sure why you bought the banana ice cream. lol

[@gailfrieder6704]

Just don't buy it anymore. Geez, maybe there are people who love bananas. No need to be a drama Queen. And I hate celery juice, so I don't buy it.

[@-greentoad]

She already knows there are people who love bananas.

[@ferncohen4895]

The ice cream is great U really don’t need to b so silly Not funny

[@-greentoad]

[@carolkravetz2664]

Horseradish and chives potato chips are seasonal! WHY??? Sooo good!!!🥰

[@natashaslist]

I know! It should be year round!

[@vickieharvey823]

I love you but I’m tired of your banana drama! I don’t think anyone will care if you never mention bananas again.

[@marygrott8095]

I actually clicked off after a few seconds. Life is full9f enough drama that we can't escape!

[@donna6186]

The way you feel about bananas is the way I feel about papayas, but ironically, I like the dried papaya.

[@kayjacoby290]

Water, shmater, you needed to chase the banana pudding flavored ice cream with grain alcohol. Burn that flavor out of your mouth. Now, I like bananas, and would chase it with rum or bourbon; but I don't want you to have a negative association with either of those alcohols. You really, really, don't have to do that to yourself, every year.

[@rosieleon4773]

Act your age not your shoe size.

[@21asdfghjkl]

I have been watching you for a minute, since before you rebranded/changed your name, and I can't believe you don't have 100k+ subbies. You deserve it!!!!!!!

[@natashaslist]

Here’s to hoping for it!!

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

When things disappear, it is usually be because they don’t sell well. Crispy Crunchy Champgignon Snacks are one of the things I would love to see them come back. Patio Chips should be a product they have all the time, not just seasonal. I was told this week that the Ube Ice Cream will be back next week. Looking forward to it. I also bought the Shwarma Chicken this week. Haven’t tried it yet. I froze it for next week. Looking forward to trying it.

[@natashaslist]

I heard patio chips aren’t coming back this year and I’m not ok! But I can’t wait for ube ice cream! Enjoy the shawarma chicken!

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

Last week, I noticed that they had re-arranged the produce too (in Bridgewater, NJ). The Jicama Wraps had been put up on a top shelf. Why?? I’m short and who can see them up there??? It took me some time to find them. I know I could’ve asked the associate working there but I didn’t, I just kept looking. I found them up high. So weird that they put them where no one can see them? Don’t they want to sell them???

[@natashaslist]

Ugh I hate when they do that!

[@jboutall5512]

I don't care for bananas or banana pudding, but I like Trader Joe's banana pudding ice cream. I also like Ole Smoky Moonshine Banana Pudding sipping cream.

[@prc5559]

Does anyone know what All In podcast she was referring to? I looked for it but didn't find anything close to what i think she was referencing. Love the drama!

[@natashaslist]

Google All In podcast, you’ll find it!

[@cecraft3]

The Amped Up Almonds discontinued is the item that I miss the most.

[@cecraft3]

Everytime I see the HAZMAT suit out I know what time it is😂😂. Hang in there Natasha you got this!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@haileypb]

Spiral noodles are Cavatappi 🙂

[@RWCLtd3]

Dandelion greens are weeds and make great salads.

[@DeAnn_Davies_1227]

You crack me up! I would be the same way with any type of cooked egg. Blech! I’m beginning to think we might need to hoard the honeycomb chocolates. I fear they will stop selling them!😂😂😂

[@gotpram]

Items that Trader Joe’s discontinued: Joe Joe squares, the chocolate chip sandwich cookies and haven’t seen the umami tortilla chips.

[@laurie8617]

Trader Joe’s used to have banana waffles and they were so delicious. Your banana aversion is hysterical 🍌😂

[@brando091121]

The suit made me laugh and all these comments too😂🤣👍

[@natashaslist]

🤪

[@franweller1]

I would just show the banana pudding ice cream but not taste it if you don’t like it. I just appreciate that you tell us about products. I wouldn’t care if you just said hey I don’t like bananas but Trader Joe’s has this new banana pudding ice cream that is supposed to be delicious.

[@teresayoung93]

oh my gosh, I have to find one of those venus fly traps!!!

[@gotpram]

I agree with the banana. Only time I will eat bananas is if they are still slightly green, firm, and less banana tasting. Just overpowers everything.

[@jennt2882]

How can you have no water available in the kitchen???? 🤔

[@MyAGGirls]

I like your videos, but the "I hate bananas" opera has to go. Just don't buy it. Nobody cares.

[@-greentoad]

You mean you don't care.

[@deniseflanagan4147]

I was truly entertained. Thank you, Natasha

[@uh711]

I totally understand your point about bananas! I feel the same way about raspberries! I hate them! But love bananas 😂

So, you are being bias instead of informing. Don’t yuck on other people yum.

[@-greentoad]

😂 oh please

[@franweller1]

This is true.

[@retiredrabbit5230]

This was the first time I've ever seen the testing of this product. I agree, it is quite silly & dramatic! In my 55 years, I've never seen someone react to a food quite like this. If you hate bananas that much, just don't test any banana products. Easy peasy done. But, I imagine it's a good video for getting those views. 😉

[@franweller1]

I just bought the organic chicken in the package, the jicama tortillas, the low calorie jarlsberg cheese and the roasted red peppers in the jar and I made a sandwich with them like you said & it was very delicious. I’ll have to try the quinoa tortillas also now. Thank you Natasha! I love your reviews!!!!

[@natashaslist]

Awesome! So glad you like it!

[@MowgKirby]

Hahaha!!! I am actually allergic to bananas and I gag at the smell of bananas. Thank God the rest of my family feels the same. 🤮🤢

[@taraheth4559]

The Banana Pudding ice cream was amazing!!

[@dm3363]

Excellent as always I can not wait to get the peppers. Your so funny with the banana. I personally do not care for banana ice cream. Do not let the negative Nellie's out there break your spirit. I personally thought it was hilarious. 😂

[@noelle78]

Thank you for another video. I moved to Boston where there are 3 trader joe's near me, but apparently back before my day there was some kind of cashew fiesta cheese dip that made for good mac and cheese. I want it to return so I can try it for the first time

[@lesliehuskey4186]

I like bananas, but they have to be perfect, and not a fan of them in anything other than banana bread once in a while.

[@beaglenglund]

"And the Oscar goes to..." If this were liver ice cream that would be my reaction, sans hazmat suit. The product I wish would come back is confetti rice (with lemon grass, etc.), but it won't, alas. My TJ'S store opened in 1986 so that probably was about when I was buying it.

[@donnacarter4890]

Why not skip the dramatics and just show us the ice cream? It's off putting for those of is who like banana ice cream. Isn't the whole point to show us what's new at Trader Joe's?? Not what's disgusting at Trader Joe's?

[@chicadoo4681]
