The Pork & Ginger and Chicken & Cilantro Mini Wontons are particularly easy to make (just cover with wet paper towels and microwave for two minutes), delicious (more than the too-hot Chicken & Garlic) and seemingly healthy, at least compared to pan-frying the potstickers in oil. (Although those packages offer similar microwave directions, they are "not recommended.") The potsticker flavors are also lots less interesting and distinctive.

But the mini wontons are so good I'm saving the remaining to serve at my next book group meeting. (I hope they read the book, rather than this secret to my cooking genius!)

Bonnie: Fiber One is a line of products that provides a good source of fiber, generally from added inulin. Some are a bit odd, as I don't expect to get fiber in my cottage cheese, yogurt or milk shake. But these muffins -- like Fiber One bread, cereals and bars -- do make sense. Each muffin contains 7 grams of fiber, or more than a quarter of the daily recommendation. Each also contains a half-serving of whole grains.

They taste fine and are convenient for on-the-run eating, being individually wrapped. Their fat and calories are also a reasonable 4 grams and 185, respectively. I only wish they contained less sugar than their current 16 grams.

Carolyn: Fiber One Frozen Ready-to-Eat Muffins are the health-conscious person's answer to Otis Spunkmeyer muffins. Like Spunkmeyer's, these muffins are already made and individually wrapped. That's about where the parallel ends.

Unlike store-counter Spunkmeyer's, these are sold in supermarket freezer or refrigerator cases (they can be stored either way, although freezing makes them last longer). Fiber One Muffins are also lots smaller and less indulgent -- taste- and texture-wise located somewhere between fat-free and fat-filled muffins. In other words, neither punishing nor unambiguously wonderful. And the chocolate banana flavor truly tastes like banana.

But would most people be satisfied eating just one? I don't think so. And if you eat two, you'll be getting almost as many calories as there are in an even more enjoyable Otis.

Bonnie: Kool-Aid Fun Fizz are drops you add to plain water to create a colored, fizzy 5-calorie drink. Making these drinks by dropping these tablets in water reminded me of the plop-plop, fizz-fizz Alka-Seltzer commercials. The resulting liquid tasted little better than medicine, not surprisingly, since what you're drinking is basically just chemicals, including artificial flavors, artificial colors and artificial sweeteners. Do your kids a favor and serve them plain water.

Carolyn: The executives at Amerilab Technologies probably reached for a Bromo Seltzer upon hearing about new Kool-Aid's new Fun Fizz. That's because Fun Fizz is basically a rip-off of Fizzies soft drink tablets, a 1950s and 1960s product Amerilab revived a couple of years back. Both Fizzies and Fun Fizz add flavor and color (but thanks to the magic of artificial sweeteners, little to no calories) to a sour stomach tablet base. Fizzies were, in fact, the market-expanding brainstorm of Bromo Seltzer company executive Lem Billings (a gay man who was one of President John F. Kennedy's closest friends, as if this product wasn't already interesting enough!).

Why did Kool-Aid decide to ruin Amerilab's party now? I'm guessing because these tablets serve almost exactly the same function as single-serve powdered drink packets that are now so popular except without the powdery mess and with a lot more fun (i.e., it's a volcano in a glass!). Prepared as directed, Kool-Aid Fun Fizz also offers stronger flavors than regular Kool-Aid.

Kool-Aid Fun Fizz will be easier to find, but there is at least one good non-nostalgic reason for parents to ferret out Fizzies: They contain 100 percent of the daily requirement of vitamin C to Kool-Aid Fun Fizz's 10 percent.
