Is the Peep Stuart, Phil, Kevin, Bob, or Jon? (Spotted by Avery at iCandy.)

Market Pantry Terrifying Tortilla Corn Chips

Market Pantry Terrifying Tortilla Corn Chips

Shapes…not terrifying. Orange and black food dyed chips…terrifying. Okay, not really. Also, how do they make those holes without the chips breaking? I regularly break chips when running them though dips and salsas. (Spotted by Dustin at Target.)

I wonder if any Quaker employees were showered with Quaker oats instead of rice at their wedding. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

Stouffer’s Signature Lasagna with Meat & Sauce

The description of Stouffer’s Signature Lasagna with Meat & Sauce probably makes regular Stouffer’s Lasagna with Meat & Sauce feel insecure. (Spotted by Robbie at Sam’s Club.)

Is that a maple leaf cookie on the right or a maple leaf shaped fart coming out of the donut? (Spotted by Lindsay at Meijer.)

QUICK YOGURT REVIEW: Evolution Fresh Inspired by Dannon Pineapple Passion Fruit Greek Yogurt

Evolution Fresh Inspired by Dannon Pineapple Passion Fruit Greek Yogurt

This yogurt has 120 calories, so this will be a 120 word review.

Instead of an evolution, perhaps the yogurt should’ve gone through several revolutions in a blender because it’s a pain to mix evenly.

The yogurt layer is unusually thick and the thin fruit layer, which has pineapple and mango purees, pineapple bits, and passion fruit juice, sticks to the bottom like half-hardened glue.

Though it contains very little passion fruit juice, the fruit makes up 90 percent of the yogurt’s flavor and aroma. Pineapple is first in name, but last in flavor. Surprisingly, it isn’t overly sweet (thanks agave) and the Greek yogurt isn’t very tart.

I liked it, but I wish it had a stronger fruity punch.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Wendy’s Green Chile Quesoburger and Queso Baked Potato

Wendy s Green Chile Quesoburger

If you live in Sacramento, California; Providence, Rhode Island; or Chattanooga…um, (uses Google) Tennessee (sorry, Tennesseans, I suck at geography), you are one of the few people right now who can wrap their mouths around Wendy’s Green Chile Quesoburger.

The test item features a 100 percent beef patty, spicy poblano queso sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa verde, three strips of Applewood smoked bacon, and red onion slices on a toasted premium bun. The burger has 550 calories, 32 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 1130 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 34 grams of protein.

The baked potato variation has 400 calories, 10 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 540 milligrams of sodium, 66 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of fiber, and 13 grams of protein.

I’m surprised this does not have cookie butter somewhere on it. But with a knife and a jar of cookie butter, that can be fixed. (Spotted by Chris B at Trader Joe’s.)
