Limited Edition Amp Energy Dale Jr. Sour

If I shotgun a Limited Edition Amp Energy Dale Jr. Sour and my face scrunches up, I’m not sure people would be able to tell if I have brain freeze or if the energy drink is too sour. (Spotted by Alec at 7-Eleven.)

Lay's Kettle Cooked 40% Less Fat Jalapeno Cheddar Potato Chips

Spicy, cheesy, crunchy, and 40% less fatty? Y wouldn’t I like it? Sorry about all the Y’s. (Spotted by Dustin at Pete’s Fresh Market.)

Farm Rich Signature Sweets

Farm Rich Cheese Sticks

It’s so weird to see a Farm Rich product that’s served after a meal and not before. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

Quaker Popped Sweet Salty Caramel Corn Cheddar Cheese

I’m going to be honest, this doesn’t look like a good combination and I think Quaker only put them together because of the quadruple C’s, which would look nice with the triple P’s and double S’s on the packaging. (Spotted by Jessica at Walmart.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – Glaceau VitaminWater Energy

/ / Spotted on Shelves

Glaceau VitaminWater Energy 2014

Glacéau VitaminWater Energy…not be confused with Glacéau VitaminEnergy (which I thought was really awesome). The newer version gets its caffeine from green coffee bean extract *cough* Starbucks Refreshers *cough*. 7-Eleven also has an exclusive flavor, Raspberry Citrus. (Spotted by Aaron at 7-Eleven.)
