Easy to make. Just add butter, egg, and cream cheese. Krusteaz forgot to add love to that list. (Spotted by Sylvia at Walmart.)

Charm City Cakes Duff Goldman Frosted Red Velvet Cookie Mix

Charm City Cakes Duff Goldman Frosted Red Velvet Cookie Mix

Since Red Velvet also seems to be a winter flavor, you could draw winter things with the white frosting, like snowmen, scarfs, or cars completely under snow. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Lay’s Kettle Cooked 40% Less Fat Cream Cheese & Chive Potato Chips

Lay's Kettle Cooked 40% Less Fat Cream Cheese & Chive Potato Chips

At first, I thought the package said “sour cream & chive,” and I thought that’s kind of boring. But then when I took a good look at it and saw it’s cream cheese and chive, I thought it was slightly more interesting. (Spotted by Jamie S at Hornbacher’s.)

Salted Caramel Noosa Yoghurt

Salted Caramel Noosa Yoghurt

Noosa has a noo flavor. I think I used that line before, but I’m not ashamed of recycling. (Spotted by Rachel C at Macey’s.)

Chewy Lemonhead Flavor Fusers

Chewy Lemonhead Flavor Fusers

Combine banana and apple, and you get pear. Pop strawberry and marshmallow into your mouth and they make cotton candy. Banana and fruit punch together makes bubble gum. But what does banana, apple, strawberry, marshmallow, banana, and fruit punch taste like when combined. My guess…a generic fruit flavor. (Spotted by Robbie at H-E-B.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Limited Edition Yoplait Whips Espresso Brownie and Coconut Creme Yogurt

Limited Edition Yoplait Whips Espresso Brownie and Coconut Creme Yogurt

I’m pretty sure the Espresso Brownie has no caffeine, but maybe Yoplait should try to get some of the stimulate into their yogurt. But that could be the caffeine from the coffee I just had talking. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)
