Trader Joe's Chicken Lettuce Wraps

For many years, I have kept a list of my favorite Trader Joe's items since I became a diehard fan in 2002. 

About half of the items - including my two favorite items ever from TJ's - are long gone. 

Including the Chicken Lettuce Wraps which, in my memory, disappeared in 2006. 

So when I saw these, I was ecstatic... until I took a closer look. 

The lettuce in these is unattractive and limp, unlike the crisp iceberg from two decades ago. 

The sauce here is a more of a chili sauce than the duck sauce it used to be. 

And instead of crispy chow mein noodles, we now have rice noodles. 

Still, I had to try this, just in case it was in any way a faint echo of those lettuce wraps I loved. 

They're not. 

They were not only a disappointment, but they kind of sucked. 

I will never get this version again.
