Dannon Oikos Limited Edition Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt

Creative Snacks Co. Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Yogurt Pretzels

Creative Snacks Co. Limited Edition Apple Cider Yogurt Pretzels

Hmm. I haven’t seen an apple cider-flavored product before. Well, I can’t wait until 2016 when there are half a dozen apple cider-flavored yogurts. (Spotted by Kerry at Wegmans.)

Celestial Seasonings Caramel Apple Dream Holiday Tea

No caffeine? Caramel Apple Dream ruined for me. 🙁 (Spotted by Kerry at Wegmans.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Ben & Jerry’s Two Wild & Crazy Pies Ice Cream

/ / Fast Food News

Ben Jerry s Two Wild Crazy Pies Ice Cream

There’s a new Saturday Night Live Ben & Jerry’s flavor available at Scoop Shops — Two Wild & Crazy Pies.

If you’re not familiar with the reference, it was from, as curmudgeons would say, the only time Saturday Night Live was funny. The recurring skit was about the Festruck Brothers (Yortuk sand Georg), two brother from Czechoslovkia, who would try to pick up women at bars and clubs and their catchphrase was “We are two wild and crazy guys!” I’m pretty sure you’ve run into guys dressed up as them at Halloween parties.

The flavor features coconut cream and chocolate cream pie ice creams with a chocolate cookie swirl.

A 1/2 cup has 260 calories, 16 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 50 milligrams of cholesterol, 75 milligrams of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 22 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.

FAST FOOD NEWS: 7-Eleven Mountain Dew Fruit Punch Kickstart Slurpee

/ / Fast Food News / 4 Comments

7-Eleven Mountain Dew Fruit Punch Kickstart Slurpee

If you want to drink a Mountain Dew Fruit Punch Kickstart, you could buy a can of Mountain Dew Fruit Punch Kickstart. Or you could buy a Mountain Dew Fruit Punch Kickstart Slurpee and let it melt completely.

Although, if you’re looking for a sweet, sweet caffeine hit, you’ll get less of one with the Slurpee. While a 16-ounce can of Kickstart has 72 milligrams of caffeine, a 16-ounce Kickstart Slurpee has 52 milligrams.

An 8-ounce serving has 60 calories, 0 grams of fat, 15 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 17 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Meijer Prime Rib & Horseradish Wavy Potato Chips

Meijer Buffalo Chicken Dip Rippled Potato Chips

The Meijer Prime Rib & Horseradish Potato Chips are fine dining flavored chips, while the Buffalo chicken dip is probably the opposite of fine dining. (Spotted by Sarah at Meijer.)

Angie's Holidrizzle Pumpkin Spice Popcorn

I could’ve sworn Angie’s had pumpkin spice flavored popcorn last year. I did a lazy Google search, but came up with nothing. Is my mind playing tricks on me because of all the pumpkin spice products I’ve seen in the past three years? (Spotted by Claire G at Wegmans.)

Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Chips

Someday, I’d like to see Sensible Portions Pizza Garden Veggie Chips…or Sensible Portions Xtreme Dill Pickle Garden Veggie Chips. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)

Campbell's Chunky Jazzy Jambalaya

Campbell's Chunky Sausage & Pepper Rigatoni

I’m just going to throw this out there, Campbell’s. Pizza-flavored Chunky soups. I’d risk the high sodium content to eat a supreme pizza-flavored Chunky soup. (Spotted by Nick at Price Chopper.)

Kellogg's Eggo Bites Chocolatey Chip Pancakes

“I can’t believe Eggo Bites have been popular enough to warrant more flavors,” says the person who isn’t an 8-year-old or a busy parent rushing to get their children ready for school. By the way, “the person” is me. (Spotted by Dubba at Target.)
