Kraft Philadelphia Bacon Cream Cheese

I thought everything was already bacon-ized. I guess not. (Spotted by Adam at Giant.)

Bigelow Salted Caramel Tea

I guess this caramel product won’t get stuck to my teeth. (Spotted by Sylvia at Vons.)

Thomas Double Protein English Muffins

Not sure if I need this since I can also double the protein of a regular Thomas’ English Muffin by topping it with ham or sprinkling GNC protein powder mix over it. (Spotted by Adam at Safeway.)

Plum Organics Savory Minis and Pizza Minis

Plum Organics Savory Minis

“Suck it, Annie’s!” said the Plum Organics executive I made up in my mind. (Spotted by Sofia at Target.)

Sara Lee Party Sprinkled Iced Brownie

What does “party sprinkled” mean? Were they sprinkled on at a party? Are these special sprinkles made only for parties? Maybe it’s a misprint and it was supposed to say “partly sprinkled” because the whole brownie isn’t covered with sprinkles. (Spotted by kcal at Walmart.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Wendy’s Pulled Pork Sandwich, Cheeseburger, and Cheese Fries

Wendy s Pulled Pork Sandwich Cheeseburger and Cheese Fries

Update: Click here to read our Wendy’s BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich review

When I think of autumn, I also think of barbecue.

Oh wait. I’m confusing barbecue with pumpkin spice.

But if you’re thinking of barbecue this season, Wendy’s has three new BBQ Pulled Pork products that’ll be around until early November. So I guess you can celebrate Halloween with them. The offerings feature shredded hickory-smoked pulled pork and come with one of three custom-crafted sauces — Sweet, Smoky, or Spicy.

The BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich features hickory-smoked pulled pork, crunchy slaw, and one of the BBQ sauce served on a toasted brioche bun.

The BBQ Pulled Pork Cheeseburger has a beef hamburger patty that’s topped with hickory-smoked pulled pork, a slice of natural cheddar cheese, crunchy slaw, and one of three barbecue sauces on a toasted brioche bun.

The BBQ Pulled Pork Cheese Fries consists of Wendy’s Natural-Cut Fries that are topped with warm cheddar cheese sauce, hickory-smoked pulled pork, diced red onions, and your choice of BBQ sauce drizzled on top.

The sandwich has 410 calories, 14 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 1230 milligrams of sodium, 48 grams of carbohydrates, and 24 grams of protein. The cheeseburger has 640 calories, 33 grams of fat, 13 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 1260 milligrams of sodium, 42 grams of carbohydrates, and 38 grams of protein. The cheese fries has 470 calories, 23 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 1020 milligrams of sodium, 50 grams of carbohydrates, and 15 grams of protein.

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Kellogg’s Eggo Breakfast Sandwiches

Kellogg's Eggo Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches

Kellogg's Eggo Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches

Before you get excited, let me rain on your parade. Kellogg’s calls it a “soft waffle-style bread,” so it’s bread shaped like waffles and not the Eggo waffles we all know and heat up in our toasters. Bummer.

There’s also a bacon, egg, and cheese version, but not even bacon can turn my frown upside down when it comes to these sandwiches not having actual Eggo waffles.

The sausage version has 290 calories, 17 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 510 milligrams of sodium, and 10 grams of protein. The bacon one has 210 calories, 10 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 550 milligrams of sodium, and 9 grams of protein. And the egg and cheese has 200 calories, 8 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 470 milligrams of sodium, and 9 grams of protein. (Spotted by Chris at Meijer.)

Giant Limited Edition Pumpkin Bread

Sliced pumpkin bread? I did not see that coming. (Spotted by Garrison at Stop & Shop.)

Quaker Real Medleys Caramel Apple Flavor Oatmeal

The Target circular in Sunday’s paper tells me this flavor is only available at Target. The Target circular also tells me it hasn’t forgiven me for going into a Walmart the other day. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Brach's S'mores Caramels and Sea Salt Caramel Royals

Brach's Candy Corn Gummies and Apple Caramel Royals

Brach’s sure has been busy. (Spotted by Sylvia at Raley’s and Sarah at CVS.)

Hawaiian Punch Fruit Juicy Red Cotton Candy

There’s also a Hawaiian Punch Lemon Berry Squeeze Cotton Candy, but why would you want Hawaiian Punch cotton candy that doesn’t taste like Hawaiian Punch? (Spotted by Keith at Dollar General.)

Starbucks Mocha and Cinnamon Dolce Keurig K-Cups

Don’t want to go to a Starbucks to get a Mocha or Cinnamon Dolce coffee? Well then, you can go to your favorite grocery store to find out if they carry the new Starbucks Mocha and Cinnamon Dolce K-Cups. And if not? Well, I guess you’re going to have to go to a Starbucks to get a Mocha or Cinnamon Dolce coffee. (Spotted by Lindsay at Kroger.)
