When it comes to appearances, Stop & Shop's Buttermilk Biscuits aren't winning any beauty contests. At first glance, they don't exactly scream "biscuit." But hey, we're all about giving things a fair chance, so we decided to dive right in. Regrettably, we quickly realized that we might have been better off sticking to our initial skepticism.

If you were expecting a fluffy and buttery biscuit, prepare yourself for disappointment. The interior more closely resembles bread, leaving us puzzled as to whether we had mistakenly wandered into the wrong aisle. But let's get to the heart of the matter: the taste. These biscuits managed to achieve the impressive feat of having absolutely no flavor. With their blandness reaching legendary status, these biscuits have earned themselves a prime spot on the list of dinner rolls. That's right; they've managed to cross over into the world of non-biscuit delicacies, leaving them last on the list of best biscuits.

Regarding nutrition, three of these biscuit impostors will set you back 160 calories and 550 milligrams of sodium.

Signature Select by Shaw's/Safeway's packaging claims to offer a jumbo biscuit with a flaky buttermilk texture and flavor.
