SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Double Chocolate M&M’s

Double Chocolate M&M's

This Walmart-exclusive flavor features a layer of dark chocolate that surrounds a core of milk chocolate. Combining the two chocolates this way is not a new technique. Mars did with last year’s Hot Chocolate M&M’s (which I hope comes back this year). (Spotted by Rachel C at Walmart.)

Fat Boy Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Sandwich

I wonder how many of those “NEW IMPROVED FLAVOR!” stickers Fat Boy had to print. Also, it appears they’ve been applied by hand. So I wonder how many boxes the people who are applying them do in one hour. (Spotted by Carla at Safeway.)

Geez, I swear Kemps has, like, a gazillion frozen yogurt lines. They’re like the Yoplait or Dannon of frozen yogurt. Oh, there’s also a cold brew coffee flavor. (Spotted by Erin K at Hy-Vee.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Limited Edition Peppermint Cool Whip

Limited Edition Peppermint Cool Whip

I’m surprised Cool Whip has come out with more flavors. Actually, I’m surprised it’s one of the few brands that hasn’t come out with a pumpkin spice flavor. Although a pumpkin spice whipped topping on a pumpkin pie would be weird. (Spotted by Katie G at Walmart.)

If I bought this, I’d be surprised if any ended up inside of a baked good instead of inside my mouth. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)

There once was a billionaire who liked butter whose name was Nocciola. He had a portfolio of truffles that he would keep whole and would only bring them out when he saw a rainbow. When he looked at them with his almond eyes, he would shout, “Oh my!” But his sister had a more impressive collection of truffles that made Nocciola bitter and cold towards her. It didn’t help that every time she saw him, she would blow him a raspberry. Nocciola had enough of her and trekked over to her place, sliced her front door, and decided to stick it to her by stealing her truffles. The end. (Spotted by Rachel C at Trader Joe’s.)
