I could stick candles in Birthday Cake Oreo cookies, but I’m not sure how to do that with these. (Spotted by Britt at CVS.)

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.

Chuck E. Cheese's Mozzarella Cheese

Chuck E. Cheese’s cheese? I’d rather be able to purchase a Chuck E. Cheese’s branded home ball pit kit. (Spotted by Troy A at Walmart.)

Lean Cuisine Oatmeal

It’s not surprising to see Lean Cuisine oatmeal since Smart Ones introduced theirs last year. (Spotted by Amanda at Market Street.)

Kool-Aid Watermelon Liquid Water Enhancer

There’s a new Kool-Aid Liquid Water Enhancer flavor. Oh yeah? Oh yeah! Oh yeah. I’m not sure how I feel about it. (Spotted by Kelly at Walmart.)

La Chocolat Probiotic Yogurt

This looks like a tasty way to consume micro-organisms. (Spotted by Kitty at Pathmark.)

Campbell's Black Bean Cumin & Cilantro Condensed Soup

It’s weird to see a Campbell’s condensed soup that’s great for cooking that doesn’t start with the words “Cream of.” (Spotted by Richard at Walmart.)

Pepperidge Farm Limited Edition French Toast Swirl Bread

I wonder how these would taste after dipping them in egg wash and putting them on a griddle. (Spotted by Lindsay at Meijer.)

Here are five recent fast food news bites:

It appears Subway has found another use for their flatbread. (via Grub Grade)

Isn’t the snickerdoodle more of a Christmas thing? (via CKR)

Nothing says “I love you” more than this. Wait. Did I say, “nothing”? I meant everything. (via Grub Grade)

Baskin-Robbins already has a Love Potion #31, so instead of Love Potion #31 Dark, why not just call it Love Potion #32? (via Baskin-Robbins)

Did you wish the Habanero Ranch sauce in McDonald’s Bacon Habanero Ranch Quarter Pounder came in a container you could dip your McNuggets in? Well then, you obviously have a genie. (via Brand Eating)

QUICK REVIEW: Jack in the Box Bacon Ranch Monster Taco

/ / Reviews / 3 Comments

Jack in the Box Bacon Ranch Monster Taco

Purchased Price: $1.99*
Size: N/A
Purchased at: Jack in the Box
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Contains the longest fast food bacon slice I’ve ever seen. Buttermilk ranch sauce goes surprisingly well with the seasoned ground beef. Parts of the taco shell that aren’t soaked in grease are crispy. Shell does a good job of preventing the lettuce from falling out. I’d probably buy it again drunk or sober.
Cons: The flavor of the bacon gets lost behind the seasoned beef. The obligatory Jack in the Box taco grease patch. Could’ve used a bit more buttermilk ranch sauce. Bacon isn’t crispy; its texture is more like bacon that has been sitting for a while at a Courtyard by Marriott hot breakfast buffet. Lots of pale lettuce. It might be a Monster Taco, but eating just one isn’t filling.

*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.
