    Ben & Jerry's Cotton Candy Ice Cream

    If there’s a Ben & Jerry’s Cotton Candy Ice Cream, I hope Ben & Jerry’s Funnel Cake Ice Cream or Ben & Jerry’s Deep Fried Ice Cream Ice Cream is next. (Spotted by Kelly at Walmart.)

    More granola from Nature Valley? Yay? (Spotted by Adam at Target.)

    archer farms spicy korean-style barbecue potato chips

    Hey, Archer Farms! Now that you have spicy Korean-style barbecue potato chips out of the way, how about some spicy Korean-style fermented cabbage potato chips? (Spotted by Adam at Target.)

    Kashi Berry Lemonade with Chia Granola Bars

    I wonder how much children will overcharge me for these Kashi Berry Lemonade with Chia Granola Bars if I bought them from their lemonade stand. Also, will I think they’re either too sour or too sweet, but say it’s delicious to them. (Spotted by Adam at Walmart.)

  • PRIZE DRAWING: Because I Want To Make You Think Arby’s

    IMG_1865

    The fine folks at Arby’s sent us coupons to give away to TIB readers. To be exact, they sent us five sets of coupons and we’re going to give them away to five lucky TIB readers. Each set contains a coupon for a free Arby’s Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich, another coupon for their House Made Potato Chips, and one for their Triple Berry Shake.

    Arby’s Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich is made with chunks of grilled chicken, pecans, diced red apples, crisp celery, red grapes, mayonnaise and green leaf lettuce all served on a honey wheat bread.

    Arby’s House Made Potato Chips are thick-cut kettle-style house made chips tossed with classic Arby’s Sauce seasoning. We gave them a positive review.

    Finally, Arby’s Triple Berry Shake is served with a berry swirl and topped with whipped cream and a berry drizzle.
