Meghan Markle is going too fast to make her dreams a stunning reality! What is she up to now? The Duchess has unveiled a new range of food products under her lifestyle brand, As Ever. This line includes raspberry jam, cookie mix with flower sprinkles, peppermint tea, and edible flower decorations. While the products seem tempting to some, the New York Post couldn’t understand the hype. What did they say?
Meghan Markle: Are Meghan’s New Products MEH?
The American tabloid reviewed Meghan Markle’s new line of products, and the verdict? They weren’t impressed. According to them, these items seemed more like regular store products, and there was nothing royal or unique about them. For instance, the raspberry jam, priced at $14, couldn’t stand out.
The newspaper’s critic, Steve Cuozzo, thinks it tastes fine but not special. “It tastes like the spread/jam/jelly that you can buy in any supermarket in the United States,” he said. Moreover, some people appreciated that it had less sugar, while another editor thought it had a “high acid profile.”
What about the other products? Critics remained divided about the shortbread cookie mix, which features flower sprinkles. One reviewer loved the product and gave it an “A+,” claiming it was better than commercial box mixes. However, it may not be very healthy since it requires two sticks of butter and some time in the fridge.
What is The General Feeling?
Furthermore, another critic described the cookie as “brittle” and “plain” and compared it to a hockey puck. For him, it was quite hard and not very tasty. Also, the flower sprinkles, which Meghan highlighted in her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, are priced at $15. And guess what? People loved them so much that they sold out in no time.
Still, one reviewer was disappointed and called them “Janky,” stating that they were not fit for a royal-inspired kitchen. Additionally, the peppermint tea, sold for $12, also failed to impress, and it wasn’t as refreshing as advertised. A journalist even compared its bland taste to Meghan’s beige sweater. Oh, burn.
So, what’s the general sentiment? Even after the initial buzz and fast sales, the food items do not stand out as particularly special. If Meghan wants to build a legacy in the lifestyle space, she can’t sell products that feel like ordinary store goods. Markle’s brand is trying its best to redefine royal branding, but the quality remains the deciding factor.
