GUM Crayola Squeeze-a-Color Anti-Cavity Fluoride Toothpaste

If I was an 6-year-old, I’d use these to write “r u tryin to trick me in to brushin my teeth” on the bathroom mirror. (Spotted by Sylvia at Ralphs.)

Smucker's Magic Shell Rainbow Sherbet

If I top rainbow sherbet with Smucker’s Magic Shell Rainbow Sherbet, will it create a portal to a world with unicorns or will it make the rainbow sherbet taste like crap. (Spotted by Heidi at Publix.)

Life Choice Delight Bites Multi-Grain Snacks

Nice to see Life Choice choose to make something other than nutrition bars. Yeah, I’m just pretending to know Life Choice. I’ve never heard of them until now. (Spotted by Sylvia at Walmart.)

Kellogg's Special K White Cheddar Popcorn Chips

A new Kellogg’s Special K Popcorn Chips flavor! I’m just kidding. I’m not exclamation point excited about these. (Spotted by Claire G at Weis Markets.)

Thomas' Limited Edition Cinnamon Vanilla English Muffins

I wish there were more limited edition Kit Kat flavors in the U.S. than limited edition Thomas’ English muffin flavors. Heck, I would settle for ONE limited edition Kit Kat flavor in the U.S. (Spotted by Claire G at Weis Markets.)

SPOTTED ON MENUS – Wendy’s BBQ Pulled Pork

Wendy's BBQ Pulled Pork

Wendy’s is testing a BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich that’s topped with pulled pork, broccoli slaw, and either a spicy, sweet, or smokey sauce. After doing a little digging, it turns out it’s been available at test markets since January. (Spotted by Nicolas in West Michigan.)

Wendy's BBQ Pulled Pork Cheeseburger

Oh, Wendy’s also offers a BBQ Pulled Pork Cheeseburger. (Spotted by Stuart in Minnesota.)

QUICK REVIEW: Rockstar Sparking Energy (Cherry Citrus and Peach)

Rockstar Sparking Energy (Cherry Citrus and Peach)

Purchased Price: $2.09 each
Size: 16 oz. cans
Purchased at: 7-Eleven
Rating: 6 out of 10 (Cherry Citrus)
Rating: 3 out of 10 (Peach)
Pros: Cherry Citrus has a nice light citrus aroma and pleasant initial cherry flavor, which turns to a citrus flavor on the back end. If you hate syrupy energy drinks, you may like their light flavor. Zero sugar and zero calories. 80 milligrams of sweet, sweet caffeine per serving. I love the can’s vivid colors which probably look even awesomer if I was on LSD.
Cons: The peach flavor is a bit too artificial, making it kind of hard to drink. As the Cherry Citrus gets warm, the cherry flavor gets lighter. Artificial sweeteners are really noticeable if they get slightly warm. They get their caffeine from green coffee beans, similar to Starbucks Refreshers, but green coffee isn’t listed in the ingredients like it is with Starbucks Refreshers.

Brach's Celebration Candy Corn

Of course Brach’s would offer red, white, and blue candy corn for the Fourth of July. I hope Brach’s makes white candy corn for Labor Day. (Spotted by Nick at Price Chopper.)

Johnsonville Butcher Shop Style

Can someone explain to me what “butcher shop style” means. Also, what the hell is a Swisswurst? (Spotted by Nicolas at Walmart.)

Chef Boyardee Good To Go Mac & Cheese Snack Kit

Chef Boyardee Good To Go Beef Ravioli Snack Kit

Chef Boyardee Good To Go Beefaroni Snack Kit

I wonder if there was someone at Chef Boyardee who decided a Snack Pack chocolate pudding goes great with Beefaroni and Mac & Cheese, but not Beef Ravioli. (Spotted by Lauren at Winn Dixie.)

Banquet Quick Fries

These Banquet Quick Fries are worthy of a microwaveable tray, but the fries in regular Banquet frozen meals will remain limp, depressing, soggy strips of once-fried potatoes that turn smiles into grimaces. (Spotted by Michael at Schnucks.)

Absolute Fruit sorbet desserts in natural fruit shells are absolutely freaky. (Spotted by Leslie at Giant Eagle.)

Sugar coated marshmallow? Hmm. Instead of Kraft Jet-Puffed Candy Eggmallows, perhaps they should be called Kraft Jet-Peeped Candy Eggmallows. (Spotted by Nick at Price Chopper.)

Thomas' Limited Edition Maple French Toast Bagels

What would one spread on Thomas’ Limited Edition Maple French Toast Bagels? (Spotted by Claire G at Weis Markets.)
