Wow, it's as if Mozart himself formed a four-piece symphony of hummi in the perfect container. I'm not even sure he would have known a garbanzo bean from a potato, but Trader Joe's surely does.

This tub has everything going for it as far as variety. It comes packed with a whopping 20 OUNCES of hummus (thats 1.25 pounds for those less mathematically gifted). The flavors, starting with the top left section and moving clockwise, are Tomato Basil, Spicy, Roasted Garlic, and Original. With 4 different hummi clocking in at 5 ounces each, this tub has something for everyone.

For the squares, you've got original. For the homies, you've got garlic. For the hipsters, you've got tomato basil. For the thugs, spicy. I rarely dipped twice consecutively in the same section, the allure of a new flavor was too intoxicating to pass up.

That's the beauty of these new age hummus collabs. It kind of like when Drake releases a new track with Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, and Dj Khaled. You find yourself shitfaced on the dance floor, rolling dice without a care in the world, girls are shaking muscles in their booty they didn't know they had. The dance floor looks like an African watering hole filled with a pack of hyenas... but good natured hyenas. That's how I would describe this conglomeration of hummi.

My one gripe about the quartet is that once I got to the end of the tub, I found myself struggling to get the last of it. The four separate sections make this hummus difficult to finish off. I felt like a dog struggling to suck peanut butter out of his bone. Like so many other situations in my life, I ended up resorting to the finger.

Overall I give this hummus quartet 4 out of 5 chickpeas. The variety and quality of each hummus complements the others wonderfully. Another pat on the back for Trader Joe's.
