I guess this is Part 2 of the Conagra Brands and General Mills company crossover, with the first being Swiss Miss Lucky Charms Hot Cocoa. Although, I feel as if someone in the comments will mention others. (Spotted by Robbie at Sam’s Club.)
SPOTTED: Lay’s Kettle Cooked Buffalo Chicken Dip Potato Chips
You can only get these at Subway. But don’t fret my Buffalo chicken dip loving friends. If you don’t want to enter a Subway and come out smelling like a Subway, you can get delivery or wait and see if these end up in stores, like previous Subway exclusive chips. (Spotted by Jimmy L at Subway.)

REVIEW: Mtn Dew Uproar
Mtn Dew Uproar is a Food Lion exclusive flavor. What the food is a Food Lion, you ask? Well, my friend, let me give you an answer to a question I’m pretty sure you’re going to regret asking or didn’t ask at all.
Food Lion got its name from the way it devoured smaller grocery chains in its territory to protect its lioness and cubs. Its habitat is in 10 states in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern US. Unfortunately, because it was focused on protecting its domain, its cubs wandered north, ended up separated from the rest of the pride, and became Cub Foods.
Told you you’d regret it.
Uproar is a Dew charged with berry kiwi flavor. Its name and graphics on the bottle are appropriate for a Food Lion exclusive. I look forward to other exclusive flavors for regional grocery chains, like Mtn Dew Soar for Giant Eagle and Mtn Dew Sizzle for Piggly Wiggly.
Much like my attempts at grocery store chain humor, Mtn Dew Uproar is great. But I feel as if I’ve been saying that about most of the recent Dew releases. And I also feel as if I’ve had this Dew flavor before or something very close to it.
Before even trying the soda, I wondered what’s the deal with the vague “berry” flavor description. Is it a combination of berries? Is it a particular berry? After smelling and tasting it, I realized it was strawberry, which made me wonder why Mtn Dew didn’t just describe it as a Dew charged with strawberry kiwi flavor.
As for the kiwi flavor, it’s there, but it’s faint. If someone drank this without looking at the label, they would say it strawberry and something something flavored. There’s also a tartness that’s less like a roar and more like a kitten’s meow. Oh, also, full disclosure: Kiwis aren’t one of my favorite fruits, but not because of their slightly tart and slightly sweet flavor. I have an issue with them because a cross-section of one looks like what would happen if The Hulk and a sarlacc had a baby. I can’t get that image out of my head.
Mtn Dew Uproar is tasty enough that I’m a bit sad it’s only available at a regional grocery chain that lost its cubs with locations in just 10 states.

I can’t wait to use this on a mug of Swiss Miss hot cocoa made with water. Maybe this will make that taste better. (Spotted by Robbie at Sam’s Club.)
