SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 5/1/2012

New products are released all the time and here are some we found on our most recent shopping trips. We may or may not review them, but we’d like to let you know what new items are popping up on store shelves.

This is one of the most boring limited edition product I’ve ever seen. According to the Classico website, “Garden Vegetable is the selection for the spring and summer months – a rich and colorful sauce highlighted with tender zucchini and a medley of red, yellow and green peppers.” Yawn.

More Limited Edition California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas! The Limited Edition Chicken Carbonara and Chipotle Roasted Vegetables are definitely more exciting than the Limited Edition Classico Garden Vegetable sauce above, but the CPK pizza I’d like to see in frozen limited edition form is their Habanero Carnitas. It’s the perfect pizza for those of us who like crying and sweating at the same time.

The thing I don’t like about Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats Touch of Fruit in the Middle is its long name, which I believe just gave me carpel tunnel by typing it. We reviewed the Mixed Berry variety last year. But there’s now a new flavor, Raspberry, which sounds like it should’ve been in the Mixed Berry.

Oooh! Now I can make small s’mores with these, a Hershey’s Miniature bar, and Kraft Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows toasted with a Bic lighter.

I did a quick Google search and found out Bud Light Lime Lime-A-Rita was not available during spring break. My goodness, Bud Light, you missed an opportunity to be the cause of bad choices for many college kids across the country. You can read more about Lime-A-Rita over at Foodbeast.

During my most recent visit to Target, I found two new Hello Kitty body washes. Yup, two. Although, I have to admit these Hello Kitty body washes aren’t as compelling as other Hello Kitty products I’ve seen at Target, like the Hello Kitty Microwave Oven. The body wash on the right appears to be more for young children, while the one on the left is SUPER CUTE!

If you’re out shopping and see a new product on the shelf, snap a picture of it, email it to us at theimpulsivebuy@gmail.com, and you might see it in our next Spotted on Shelves post.
