RU NUTZ? It's exactly the same friggin' JARRED sauce... just a
different flavor... and next week they will switch. Classico JARRED
sauce is slop no matter the flavor or where purchased.

Btw, finally, after listening to all the tawk today I tried Ro-Tel Hot
diced tomatos w/habaneros, the first time I tried a Ro-Tel product...
they SUCK! They're hot (too hot for me) but are devoid of any flavor
whatsoever, the quality of the tomatoes is awful, not even close to
red ripe, half the dice are smushed, too much skin and seeds, and very
watery, no flavor, just HOT! Great Value (Walmart brand) Fire
Roasted Tex Mex Style Diced Tomatoes are much better in every respect,
excellent quality tomatoes (fire roasted makes a huge improvement),
not all smushed, and in tomato puree instead of watery... contains
onion, garlic, and instead of habanero it contains jalapeno and
anaheim peppers, very flavorful, I enjoyed these... especially since
the can is 25% larger and Walmart's costs half as much as Ro-Tel.
Ro-Tel is a crap product, I won't be buying it again.
