Skippy Natural with Dark Chocolate

Damn skippy! Oh, no…I’m not amazed Skippy has a peanut spread with dark chocolate, I just like to write the same way your great grandpa talks. (Spotted by Deanna at Walmart.)

Betty Crocker Cotton Candy Cookie Mix and Frosting

If Betty Crocker’s first Target exclusive cookie mix and frosting flavor is cotton candy, I hope another fair food ends up as the second. Preferably, a deep fried fair food. (Spotted by Richard at Target.)

Jet-Puffed MallowBites Chocolate Brownie Marshmallows

I guarantee, as you’re reading this, there’s a baking blog owner somewhere who’s putting these Jet-Puffed MallowBites Chocolate Brownie Marshmallows into a brownie mix, taking photos of every step, and plans to post the photos and recipe on their blog tomorrow. (Spotted by Sara at Walmart.)

Chobani Flip

Chobani Key Lime Crumble Flip

According to Chobani, I’m supposed to flip for these new yogurts. Well, to be honest, it’s just yogurt with toppings, so it’s not that special to me. The only way I’d flip for Chobani Flip is if there was a liquid spill in front of the Chobani section of the dairy case. Oh wait. That wouldn’t be a flip; it would be a slip. (Spotted by Charmi at Target.)

Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty!

Pop-Tarts have gone Wild! and now they’ve Gone Nutty! I look forward to Pop-Tarts Going To Therapy! (Spotted by Jesse at Shoppers.)

Seattle's Best Coffee Frozen Coffee Blends

Yay! With these Seattle’s Best Coffee Frozen Coffee Blends, my blender will be able to taste something other than kale-infused smoothies. Also, the Seattle’s Best Coffee logo freaks me out. It looks like an eyeless Muppet trying to eat me. (Spotted by Charmi at Target.)

Keebler Special Edition Sweet Cremes

Keebler Special Edition Toasted Coconut

I hope the “special” in Keebler’s Special Edition cookies means dark elf magic was used. (Spotted by Sara at Walmart.)

Keebler Special Edition Iced Oatmeal

Keebler Special Edition Frosted Lemon

Special Edition? More like Mother’s Edition. Amiright! High-five with those of you who know cookie companies really well! (Spotted by Sara at Walmart.)

Chocolatey Caramel and Cookie & Creme Pastry Crisps

Special K has new flavors of Pastry Crisps, or as I like to call them when I put them on my chest, Pastie Crisps. (Spotted by Deanna at Walmart.)

Smucker's Pink Lemonade Magic Shell

Pink Lemonade Magic Shell sounds gross. Freezes in seconds? More like ruins ice cream quicker than the sun does. (Spotted by Paige at Target.)

Lance Chocolate Nekot Cookies

Why are they called Nekot cookies? According to the internets, Lance wanted to honor a retiring executive by naming the cookie Token. However, there was already a cookie named Token, so he just flipped the spelling around. Oh, that Lance was smart…or trams.(Spotted by Sara at Walmart.)

Dale Jr. Foods Creole & Green Onion Potato Chips

How weird it would be if Dale Jr.’s race car had Dale Jr. Foods as its main sponsor and the Number 88 car had a huge picture of his face on the hood and doors with a picture of his Dale Jr. Foods car which also has a picture of his face on the hood and doors? Chip Review has a chip review. (Spotted by Adam at Weis Markets.)

Jif Whips

I’m not 100 percent sure about this, and I’m too lazy to Google it, but didn’t Jif once offer whipped peanut butter prior to these Jif Whips. Also, I’m not sure if it’s the product itself or the word “whips”, but I’m kind of excited about Jif Whips. (Spotted by Jamie at Walmart.)

Jif Cashew Butter

Jif Almond Butter

Jif Cashew Butter AND Jif Almond Butter? It appears Jif has been really busy with their nuts. (Spotted by Kayla at Walmart.)

Tastykake Cinnamon Rolls

“Welcome to the 20th century, Tastykake!” said Cinnabon. (Spotted by Adam at Walmart.)

Honey Maid Teddy Grahams Strawberry Banana and Apple

Honey Maid Teddy Grahams made with real fruit? How about making Teddy Grahams made with real teddies so I squeeze them and then eat them. (Spotted by Deanna at Walmart.)

Archer Farms Chocolate & Strawberry Dessert Flatbread

Hey, Archer Farms! Don’t you mean Chocolate & Strawberry Dessert Pizza? (Spotted by Andy at Target.)

Jolly Time Butter made with Smart Balance

One popped cup of this Jolly Time Butter made with Smart Balance popcorn has one gram of saturated fat. So if a bag has about ten popped cups, I shouldn’t be eating half the bag, which I already did. So I just consumed about 25 percent of my daily recommended amount of saturated fat. I am not smart. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Archer Farms Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee

Without the need to make a hard sugar crust on top with a blowtorch, this coffee sound boring. Unless…I use the blowtorch to heat up the coffee. Or never mind the coffee and I’ll just blowtorch some sugar. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

Kraft Jet-Puffed S'moreMallows

Flat marshmallow? Yup. Limited time only? Sure. New? Not so much. (Spotted by Nadirah at Walmart.)

M&M's Milk Chocolate Bar

These sound so M-Azing. Candy Blog has a review. (Spotted by Cara at Target.)

Snickers & Milky Way Unwrapped Bites

Do you have issues with portion control? Then don’t buy these. (Spotted by Matthew at Walmart.)

Arizona Chocolate Fudge Float

AriZona Beverages has a new and improved Chocolate Fudge Float Soda. To be honest, I didn’t know they had a chocolate soda. I also didn’t know AriZona Beverages is a New York company. (Spotted by Ross at 7-Eleven.)

7 Layer Dip Tortilla Combos

The Combos Baked Snacks 7 Layer Dip Tortilla is made with cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado, tomato, refried beans, onion, and jalapeño peppers. But if I use a tortilla chip to pick them up, will they cause the chip to break, forcing me to dig through the Combos in order to fish out the part of the chip that snapped off? (Spotted by Lauren at CVS.)
