Hilarious! I tried it today in guacamole. It was really blah and a little gross. Why did I waste my time on this fruit formerly known as avocado?
Maybe I just didn’t get a good one, but I don’t think I’ll try another anyways.

I tried the SlimCado just to see what a different variety of avocado tasted liked. Simply put, the SlimCado should not even be allowed to be called an Avocado. Like you said, it’s like having a watered-down Coke.

I was so very excited when I saw the SlimCado parked nexted to my good friends the original avocado. I was suckered in. I saw the big sticker “30% less fat” and they had me at hello. I envisioned my twice daily salads being taken to a whole new level of excitement and anticipation. I was sorely let down. Upon first slice the water was running out of my SlimCado. It was a slippery little fellar. I wanted to love it. I yearned to love it. I could see my point values per salad decreasing before my very eyes. But damn. I hated it. It was awful. I was slippy, slappy, bland and blah. A waste of two points. Never again. Never again will you rob me of my points. I will give your predecesor, the original avocado, the full four points it deserves. Move over honey, my original avocado is waiting for me.

SlimCados are great! They’re naturally light. Why knock em when you can eat em

SlimCados are only grown in humid Florida not in a dry climate like California or Mexico. It’s a different type of avocado. You’re going to get a different taste. I wouldn’t use it for guacamole (the oil content of the hass is much more tastier for the dip) but I do suggest it as a light topping for salads, sandwiches or even burgers. For the latter, I put the Slimcado slice on just after turning on the grill. It melts ever so slightly.

I checked the label, the number on it did not start with an ’8′ (as all gmo produce are suppose to) so the SlimCado is not GMO.

Everyone is right, avocado fat is excellent! I must apologize to the SlimCado people, it seems that it’s just a different kind of avocado and is not a genetic mash up between a regular avocado and a camel. I apologize if a rumor goes around the internet that SlimCados are made of avocados with camel genes spliced in them.

Steph, Mia was right, I am a pear shape and I am very angry at the SlimCado. I love the way that she saw the story behind the picture. BTW, the pictures you sent me are going to be posted next week, I am very excited!

Mia looked over my shoulder as I opened the page, and said “Look- it’s an angry pear!”

I’ll take the fatty goodness of a ripe avacado any day!

Although now I am curious about your alligator egg pudding!

Alligator Egg Fruit – you are crackers Tracy. I hadn’t heard of SlimCado before but I do know – anything that is a copy of something else but with half the fat usually tastes yukky.

Have fun with the Dalai Llama.
