J&D's Ghost Pepper Nacho Popcorn

I’m just going to proclaim 2014 as the Year of Ghost Peppers. Sure, there haven’t been THAT many ghost pepper products so far and we’re already halfway through 2014, but I’m going to keep saying it until it becomes true…or until it’s 2015. Whichever comes first. Chip Review got their hands on the Ghost Pepper Nacho ones. (Spotted by Dustin at World Market.)

Cherry Fanta Bottle

Last year, you had to go to another country or be fortunate enough to live near a restaurant with a Coke Freestyle machine to taste Fanta Cherry. This year, you no longer have to worry about plane rides or pushing buttons in order to get it. (Spotted by Aaron at Walmart.)

PowerIce copy

PowerIce

PowerIce has new flavors! Grape Score and Pomegranate Raspberry Rip! Let’s celebrate with exclamations points!!! And let’s celebrate Gatorade probably coming up with something similar in the near future…with exclamation points!!! (Spotted by Sylvia at Sprouts.)

Nestle Abuelita Mexican Chocolate Style Coffee-mate

I wonder what other little-known Nestle products will the company turn into Coffee-mate flavors. Carlos V? Kazoozles? Frosty Paws? (Spotted by Elizabeth at Walmart.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Rally’s Crispy Chicken Tacos

/ / Fast Food News / 2 Comments

Rally's Crispy Chicken Tacos

Rally's Crispy Chicken Tacos Closeup

Impulsive Buy readers Jacob and Ali purchased these Crispy Chicken Tacos at a Rally’s location in Bowling Green, Ohio. According to Jacob, it consisted of “a pile of popcorn chicken chunks, liquid cheese, and ranch sauce with some lettuce thrown in for texture.” There’s also a spicy version.

He went on to say, “The tacos weren’t bad, but they weren’t anything super noteworthy. The cheese & ranch sauces overpowered everything, and the tacos weren’t very well-constructed. They were more like a messy wrap than anything else.”

There’s no mention of them on the Rally’s or Checkers websites, but if you’ve seen and/or tried them, let us know in the comments.

(Thanks for the photos Jacob & Ali!)

Prairie Farms Cupcake Classics (Very Vanilla, Chocolate Truffle, and Strawberry Banana)

I’m a little disappointed with your Cupcake Classics, Prairie Farms. I was hoping you’d somehow top jellybean milk. (Spotted by Alex at Walmart.)

Tastykake Limited Edition Baked Pies (Key Lime Pie, Banana Split, and Orange Kream-cicle)

Tastykake Summer Exclusive Orange Juniors

If you’re into limited edition Tastykake porn, here you go! Although, I now realize it’s not so porny with them still in the packages. (Spotted by Paul at Acme and Erin at Giant.)

Thomas' Limited Edition Apple Pie English Muffins

Dear Thomas’: It’s hard to keep track of whether you’ve done either a limited edition bagel or English muffin version of flavors, so I made a Flickr album to help. So I’m ready for whatever bagel or English muffins you unleash. (Spotted by Erin at Giant.)

Larry the Cable Guy Biscuits & Gravy Tater Chips

I wonder if Larry the Cable Guy eats Larry the Cable Guy Tater Chips, and if so, does he feel weird eating them? Does he look down at the bag, see himself looking back at him, grin, and think, “I’ve made it”? Does he eat them in front of a mirror with his Prilosec OTC commercial playing in the background on one TV and Mater’s Tall Tales being shown on another and think to himself, “I could probably fill a pool with money and swim in it”? Chip Review tried them. (Spotted by Charity at Rural King.)

QUICK REVIEW: Jack in the Box Jalapeño Ranch Ultimate Cheeseburger

/ / Reviews / 2 Comments

Jack in the Box Jalapeno Ranch Ultimate Cheeseburger

Purchased Price: $4.99
Size: N/A
Purchased at: Jack in the Box
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Jalapeños provide almost all of the flavor and a little bit of heat. Jalapeño in every bite. Awesome if your taste buds are tired of eating regular Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburgers. Although it’s almost all jalapeño, it’s a tasty burger. Ranch sauce and cheese give the burger a slightly creamy texture which kind of makes you forget about the slightly dry beef patties. Enough ranch sauce to make salads jealous.
Cons: Even with enough ranch sauce to make salads jealous, its flavor is overwhelmed by the jalapeños. Heck, the flavor of the ranch sauce, meat, and cheese take a back seat to the jalapeños, and that back seat is on a school bus. Let’s be honest, all Ultimate Cheeseburgers aren’t even close to being “ultimate.” I mean, if I add another beef patty and another slice of cheese, then that’s proof the Ultimate Cheeseburger isn’t the ultimate.
