***Costco Sample Update For February 12, 2010***

Originality was the name of the game today and we saw a lot of new samples that we have not seen before.  Here is what was on the tables today:  Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese and Baguette Bread, 8 Grain Toasted Bread, VITA-MAX Smoothies and Soups, Biscotti, Angus Choice Cheeseburger Sliders, Chicken and Cheese Burritos, Garlic Chicken, Ghiradelli Triple Fudge, La Panzanella Croccatini with Swiss Cheese, Healthy Choice Chicken Noodle, NeilMed Sinus Relief Fluid, Vitamin Juice.

My Overall Rating: 5.3/10.  There must have been a sale on diapers today at Costco because most of the shoppers seemed to either be infants or senior citizens.  The young and old can be very deceptive samplers though, and they tend to be much swifter and more aggressive than you would think.  While waiting in line for the chicken burrito, a mob of latino youngsters muscled my Samplesaurus comrades out of line and they missed out.  Not to mention, while I was waiting for the La Panzanella Crocacatini with some swiss cheese (sample of the day) an old lady with an oxygen tank swept in and took the last sample, forcing me to wait another 30 seconds.

A big surprise today was discovering that Neil actually has a pharmaceutical company that seems to be using his name and his uncanny reputation for having clear nasal passages.

The VITA-MAX blender seems to be the last appliance that you would ever need to buy when it comes to preparing food.  Neil has composed an in-depth review on this wonder of the modern age.
