Here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we like.

Zotter adds olives and lemons to their chocolate. Sounds like someone at Zotter was sipping on too many martinis while making chocolate. (via Jim’s Chocolate Mission)

An energy drink with a cooling sensation? I guess I can now experience what it’s like to apply Ben Gay inside my body. (via Caffeine Critic)

Pop-Tarts introduces another new flavor…and another new way to fall into a sugar coma. (via Grub Grade)

I wonder if Mary Jane’s Relaxing Soda will give me the munchies and make me think Adam Sandler’s movie Grown Ups is funny. (via The Soda Jerks and Pajiba)

Japanese cartoon character Crayon Shin-chan has a line of snacks. I hope they’re not Mr. Elephant-shaped. (via Dave’s Cupboard)

M&M’s are quickly turning into the American version of what Kit Kats are in Japan.

With so many variations and flavors, I honestly can say that I haven’t had Plain… Oh, excuse me, Milk Chocolate M&M’s since they nixed the beige color that reminded me of the nurse’s office at my elementary school minus the ethnically diverse posters about how head lice affects everyone and how it’s good to wash your hands after pretty much everything you do, except after washing your hands because then you’ll end up on that show Obsessed.

Before even trying the new Pretzel M&M’s I knew I was going to like them, because Mars used my favorite M&M’s character to pitch them — Orange M&M.

He isn’t a sleaze like Red M&M, who I swear on the Strawberried Peanut Butter M&M’s package had a rapey look in his eyes and was about to slip something into my drink. As for Yellow M&M, he’s simply Red’s lackey. And even though I’m far from being a feminist, my mother’s crazy burn-your-bra 1970s values rubbed off on me a little bit, because I find it’s morally wrong that the only female M&M is one ad away from becoming the first mascot to be on a Girls Gone Wild DVD.

I like Orange M&M because he’s on edge most of the time. Plus, he’s awkward and endearing, similar to Woody Allen. Although I don’t think Orange M&M would marry his adopted daughter (Red M&M probably would though). I also like Orange M&M because he always pitches the flavor of M&M’s I enjoy, including Crispy and Pretzel M&M’s.

Pretzel M&M’s are spherical and they probably could be used as emergency ammunition in a paintball gun battle, not only because they’re about the same size but because they’re as hard as the Red M&M gets when the Green M&M gives him a candied-coated lap dance.

I usually let an M&M melt in my mouth, because like a good little consumer, I listen to what ads tell me to do. However, I felt it was extremely difficult to do so with these M&M’s when I knew there were pretzels hiding in them. Pretzel M&M’s have a nice crunch factor as well as a delicate salty taste that might be too delicate for pretzel purists.

I can’t really call the rat dropping-sized nugget a pretzel; it’s more like a little, semi-salty ball that could be a serious choking hazard when popping them in your mouth during your commute, or when realizing there’s a sex scene between Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head in Toy Story 3 (Sorry if I ruined it for you).

Like the balls themselves, the package is quite small, but it’s just enough chocolate to tide you over until M&M’s releases another new flavor. Maybe they’ll take a page from Kit Kat’s book and make a wasabi pea-flavored M&M.

One can only hope and dream.

Item: Pretzel M&M’s
Price: 74 cents
Size: 1.14 ounces
Purchased at: The Store That Ironically Doesn’t Sell Walls
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Nice blend of savory and sweet. Orange being the spokescandy for the product and not feeling threatened by him. My mother’s feminist values. Lower in fat than other flavors of M&M’s. Woody Allen movies. Could be used as backup ammunition.
Cons: Might not salty enough for some. No wasabi pea-flavored M&M’s. The lack of a Brown M&M mascot (Seriously, that’s fucked up and maybe a little racist). Choking hazard for those not used to small balls in their mouth.

With the Shrek franchise coming to an end, expect the number of bright green colored products that promote the movie to disappear and then expect bright blue colored products to promote next year’s Smurf movie to replace them. (via The Candy Enthusiast)

The bright green color found in this mint candy bar is unusual enough that it might turn people off. If only there was a cartoon movie franchise that would make the color more appealing. (via Jim’s Chocolate Mission)

Adam over at Grub Grade got it his way at Burger King and created the Cluck Double, which combines two BK Spicy Chick’n Crisp filets, cheese, lettuce, ketchup and mustard in between a bun. I really hope the next custom sandwich he makes is called the Chicken Coop and is made up of ten BK chicken sandwich patties stacked on top of each other in between a bun and wrapped in a net made of bacon.
