It’s just a new bear, not a new flavor. I’m posting this photo because I wanted to show how the new bear is similar to the old bear. They both don’t use their opposable thumbs to hold the Teddy Graham in their hands. (Spotted by Robbie at H-E-B.)

Franz Limited Edition Gingerbread Streusel Bread

Before this year, I’ve never heard of Franz. But this year we posted three limited edition bread flavors from the company. Now I will never forget them. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)

2016 SEASON OF GIVING (DAY 2): $10 Panda Express Gift Card

/ / Prize Drawing / 198 Comments

To be honest, I wanted this to be a $5 Panda Express Gift Card, but $10 was the minimum amount. I guess that makes sense since you can’t really buy much at the fast food chain with that much money. A two-entree plate costs $8, and I think a one-entree bowl is $6.50. Maybe you could buy a lot of fortune cookies with $5. Are the fortune cookies available for purchase?

The biggest release for Panda Express this year was its own version of General Tso’s Chicken, an iconic American Chinese dish. The chain also introduced a new shrimp dish, the Pacific Chili Shrimp, not an iconic American Chinese dish.

2016 SEASON OF GIVING (DAY 1): $5 Starbucks Gift Card

Starbucks did a lot of interesting things this year. The coffee chain started 2016 with changes to its rewards program, which ended up angering a lot of customers. And it’s ending the year with the announcement of CEO Howard Schultz stepping down from the position in April 2017.

In between those two events, Starbucks released new drinks, like the Cherry Blossom Frappuccino, Chile Mocha, Iced Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato, and, of course, the Pokemon GO Frappuccino.
