An Adventure Called Trader Joe's

Yesterday, I stopped off at Trader Joe's on Monroe for some 2 buck chuck. Of course I can never just go in Trader Joe's without seeing what's new and interesting. So I came across some dark chocolate covered edamame. My theory is, anything covered in dark chocolate or fried is good, so I grabbed a container. Back to the dairy section, I spied some 'Greek Style' yogurt which I had been wanting to try, so I scooped up that too. Ok, so the edamame was pretty decent. The first bite was kind of weird but after awhile I was overwhelmed by the chocolate and all the edamame offered was a satisfying crunch, sort of like eating a chocolate covered peanut M and M. I wish it had been saltier though to balance the sweet. The 'Greek Style' yogurt was horrible. I got the blueberry flavor but the sourness of the yogurt canceled out any blueberry flavor. So would I buy either again? If I was desperate for chocolate, I would try the edamame again, but I'm still trying to get the sour taste of the yogurt out of my mouth.
