On the winning side, bacon. Consumer Reports says the Kirkland Signature Regular Sliced Bacon gets top marks. The strips are crispy, complemented by a wood smoke and hint of sweetness.

Consumer Reports also gives Kirkland Signature Super Premium Vanilla ice cream high praise. It's taste testers say the Costco brand beat out brands like Breyers and Baskin-Robbins.

On the losing side, Consumer Reports didn't like the super store's gel dishwasher detergent. It says it struggled with dishes, pots, pans and resistance to water spots. Also, the Kirkland Signature toilet paper isn't that strong and tears too easily.
