Pillsbury Banana Bread Batter, Cut & Squeeze Package, 30 oz.

My family loves banana bread, but I don't always have time to make it from scratch. I thought we'd try this ready-made dough as an alternative. I won't be buying this again. The bread has a very artificial almost chemical taste to it. It smells like banana bread and it kind of tastes like banana bread, but we just can't get passed that awful artificial taste. I bought two of these tubes of dough within five days of each other. I stored both of them in our refrigerator in the same place. I baked both tubes of dough at the same time, using two of the same pans. One loaf baked without an issue, but the other stayed liquid in the middle. I assume this failed loaf was the first one I bought and had left in the refrigerator for 5 days before buying the second. I took the loaf that baked out of the oven, and continued to bake the failed loaf, but it remained a liquid center and couldn't be eaten. Because of the artificial taste - which is NOT good - and because one of the two dough tubes baked and the other didn't, I will not be buying this again. I will either continue to make my own banana bread, or will buy the ready-made banana bread in the bakery. I do NOT recommend this dough!

I hate to even put this down, because Pillsbury is usually fantastic but this bread is sadly absolutely awful. It doesn't even taste like banana bread, which is not great because I'm really craving some right now. The brand is good, but this product is just not.
