Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. If you’ve tried any of the products, share your thoughts about them in the comments.

Kellogg's Spcial K Protein Breakfast Shake Coffeehouse

The combination of coffee and fiber scares me. Actually, it scares my digestive system and toilet. (Spotted by Nick at Price Chopper.)

Duncan HInes Salted Caramel Decadent Brownie Mix

Oh, Duncan Hines. I can make your salted caramel brownie much more decadent. Just give me a bowl of melted chocolate, a bowl of melted caramel, a jar of marshmallow fluff, a bowl of crushed Oreo cookies, and a custodian staff to clean up my mess, and I show you decadent. (Spotted by Claire G at Weis Markets.)

Entenmann's Lemon Crumb Dontus

Another month, another new Entenmann’s product. Hey, that kind of rhymed. (Spotted by Maria at Wawa.)

Pillsbury Sugar Free Deluxe Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread & Muffin Mix

Oh, Pillsbury. I can make your Sugar Free Deluxe Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread & Muffin Mix sugarful. Just give me a bowl of melted chocolate, a bowl of melted caramel, a jar of marshmallow fluff, a bowl of crushed Oreo cookies, and a custodian staff to clean up my mess, and I show you sugarful. (Spotted by Erin at Walmart.)

Rockstar Pure Zero Blue Ice

Rockstar Pure Zero Mango Orange Passion Fruit

I would’ve been the worst Rockstar Energy Drink namer because if I was in charge of naming products, I would’ve called the Rockstar Pure Zero Mango Orange Passion Fruit Energy Drink, Rockstar Pure Zero Orange Ice. (Spotted by Christian at Stater Bros.)

QUICK REVIEW: Taco Bell XXL Steak Crispy Taco

Taco Bell XXL Crispy Steak Taco

Purchased Price: $3.89*
Size: N/A
Purchased at: Taco Bell
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Holy cow there’s a lot of steak in this taco. Steak is easy to chew; no tough parts. Taco shell seemed sturdier than Taco Bell’s regular taco shell. It’s noticeably larger than a regular Taco Bell Crunchy Taco. Surprisingly filling. To be honest, it kind of makes me wish there was a XXL Doritos Locos Taco.
Cons: Reduced fat sour cream dampens the avocado ranch sauce’s flavor, making the whole taco taste a bit boring. Steak itself didn’t have much flavor. Because of its size, it needed two Taco Bell sauce packets to give it better flavor. Like with the Taco Supreme, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese fall out too easily.

*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here. You’ll probably pay less than I did.

Brach's Carrot Cake Candy Corn

Carrot cake candy corn? I’d like to add another C-word to show how I feel about all these flavored candy corn…craaaaaaaaap. (Spotted by Bree at Harris Teeter.)

Cheetos Flamin' Hot and Dortios Dinamita Chile Limon

Cheetos Flamin’ Hot AND Doritos Dinamita Chile Limon. That bag should really come with a peel off coupon for a half gallon of whole milk. (Spotted by James at Walmart.)

Method Summer Collection 2014

Isn’t the first day of summer, like, three months away? (Spotted by Sylvia at Target.)

Coke Sixer

Back in my day, we didn’t call it a “Sixer.” We called it a six-pack and it came with a plastic ring thingy that carried the cans, but harmed birds and marine life. (Spotted by Raymond at Woodman’s Market.)

Fruit by the Food Flavor Mixes

If my math is correct, which it might not be because I have an English degree and a never balanced checkbook, if there are four flavor choices then there are 16 possible ways to mix them. (Spotted by Paul at Acme.)
