That's just 'cause it's so fun spitting seeds!

Name: Reggie's Ballpark Style Sunflower Seeds
Distributed By: Greenbrier International, Inc.

Flavor: Bar-B-Que
Size: 12 OZ bag
Price: $1.00
Grade: 7/10

The seed that started it all for me.

I was at a Dollar Tree store looking for whatever and stumbled across these. Being the baseball fan I am I could not resist picking up a bag. The packaging is just so striking and although I am not a Yankee fan, the pinstripes and Reggie Jackson slugging a homer (no doubt) on the bag made it irresistible.

I thought for sure the seeds would be a bit stale, seeing that I got them at such a cheap price, but was pleasantly surprised to find them fresh and crispy. I chucked a handful into my cheek, the way all sunflower seeds are consumed by me, and started to suck.

These seeds are very flavorful, salty being the predictable flavor, and I found the barbecue flavor to be a bit lacking. No apparent sweetness, spicy bite or vinegery tang was found. The seeds averaged medium sized and nary a rotten or soft seed was found. The first bag I ate did have an unusually large deposit of sandy, sticky seasoning that made me spit the seeds prematurely. The second bag was a total pleasure.

I will surely buy these again at this price and look forward to the Ranch and Original flavors.
