Somersaults are all natural, round nuggets of toasted grains and sunflower seeds with a hearty crunch. These baked, bite-sized bundles come in three flavors: S.S. Sea Salt, Chez Cocoa, and Salty Pepper. I sampled all three flavors and I can’t decide which ones I like best so I’m going to keep snacking. The sea salt Somersaults remind me of a cross between a sesame cracker and a crouton. The cocoa flavor isn’t sweet as you might expect, it contains just the slightest hint of chocolate baked into the salty, nutty mix. The salt and pepper snacks have a zesty snap and a touch of garlic sprinkled on top of each bite.
So far I’ve enjoyed snacking on Somersaults right out of the bag. But tonight, I might have a few of the Chez Cocoa Somersaults with a cup of decaf for dessert. And, I have a pretty good feeling that either the S.S. Sea Salt or the Salty Pepper flavor will go well with some cheese and fresh fruit for a snack tomorrow after gymnastics. ;-)
Somersaults are packaged up with all of the whimsy you would expect from a product with such a perfectly-silly name. Bags of Somersaults are adorned with bouncing bakers, hand-standing sailors, and cart-wheeling pirates. I have to admit they sold me with their clever packaging, but they’ll keep me coming back for the naturally satisfying snacks.
So, for taste, variety, and presentation, I give Somersaults a perfect 10!

August 3rd 2009Lol @YumYucky. Eating popsicles & messy fruit like pomegranate makes me feel like a kid again – I grew up in HOT Jamaica and we would make them ourselves and eat them all day long.
These chips look great by the way – the packaging. I hadn't seen them before.

August 3rd 2009Fun stuff so far! My turn…I love to skip! When was the last time you skipped?
Skipping "tickles" your heart –as in it's fun for the first 30 seconds and then it turns into a full blown cardio workout in a blink of an eye!

August 4th 2009Doing yard work or sitting on the backyard patio. When you start to hear the faint sound of music coming from down the street. As it gets closer you start to recognize the tune of the “ICE CREAM MAN!!” You are now running to the front when you realize your wallet is sitting on the kitchen counter. You look, he’s two houses away, you panic and scream, “Mom!! Dad!! ICE CREAM!” You quickly remember you are in your late thirties living on your own and it’s up to you to get that money for your Mickey Mouse shaped ice cream bar. You run with Olympic speed into and out of the house with money grasped tightly in hand. You run down the truck with your heart pounding inside you chest and out of breath you can only point to Mickey Mouse. It is worth every last lick because you can still run down the ICE CREAM MAN!
