Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There appears to be GOOD, BAD & UGLY batch of Planters Cheez Balls that Amazon has in stock. The BAD & UGLY are smaller in size, not very cheesy, not as puffy, and have holes all over the cheez balls. It has the following printed date codes on the bottom of the cannisters: P: 06 MAR 2019 02:24 E: 05 MAR 2020 XPZ4 I ordered a couple of 12 packs and both packs have the same date code and the contents, taste, and texture are nothing like the original Cheez Balls!!! A friend also ordered the same 12 pack here at Amazon and he received GOOD ones with the following prints: P: 12/DEC/2018 11:07 E: 12/DEC/2019 GPP2 The content, texture, and taste were so much fresher! This particular batch tasted just like the original Cheez Balls. Amazon having great customer service will replace both of my orders. I'm hoping to receive the fresh ones. I'll update this review when the replacements arrive. Update - the following batch of Planters Cheez Balls are also GOOD. Got these from another online store: P: 14/NOV/2018 11:27 E: 14/NOV/2019 GPP1 UPDATE: Amazon customer service came through once again!!! They replaced both of my orders and I received the original tasting/texture Planters Cheez Balls I came to love as a kid!!! Very puffy and cheesy, and it just melts in your mouth! Date code of GOOD replacements: P: 11/MAR/2019 12:36 E: 11/MAR/2020 GPP2 I understand I don't have enough sampling to make this conclusion, but so far, it appears that GPP1 and GPP2 are GOOD and XPZ4 are BAD & UGLY. UPDATE 7/10/2019 I craved for another batch of Planters Cheez Balls. Unfortunately, I received a bad batch once again w/ date code "XPZ4". Contacted Amazon customer service and they'll send me a replacement. Crossing my fingers that I receive the good batch "GPP2" (or if there exists other good batch date code). UPDATE 7/12/2019 My replacement order just came in. Unfortunately, they're also "XPZ4". Contacting Amazon for another replacement or a refund. :(
