SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 1/20/2014

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.

Dunkin Donuts Coffee Creamer 1

Dunkin Donuts Coffee Creamer 2

I’d rather see Dunkin’ Donuts cereal make a comeback than have these new Dunkin’ Donuts coffee creamers. Although, the idea of eating Dunkin’ Donuts cereal with Dunkin’ Donuts creamer is intriguing. (Spotted by Kim and Jeremy at Kroger.)

Peeps Strawberry Creme Dipped in Milk Chocolate

New, Peeps? Well then, either your packaging is wrong or someone came up with an elaborate scheme to build a time machine, travel to the year 2012, and put a graphic of these Peeps Strawberry Creme Dipped in Milk Chocolate in a post on a food blog. (Spotted by Sylvia at CVS.)

Cherry M&M's

Cherry M&M’s are back! And nothing says “I love you” more than a big cheap bag of candy coated chocolate. Of course, it could be worse if you gave her just half the bag and you gave the other half to your mistress. (Spotted by Paul at Walmart.)

New Meijer Instant Oatmeal Flavors

Can someone tell me if these Meijer instant oatmeal flavors are new. Also, I know it’s orange juice in the background of each photo, but it also looks like beer. (Spotted by Nicolas at Meijer.)

Dannon FIt & Light Greek Blends Cherry Chocolate and Raspberry Chocolate

Oh, yogurt! We can’t stop you, we can only hope to contain you within one aisle. (Spotted by Carla at Target.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – Kellogg’s Limited Edition Birthday Cake Pop-Tarts

Kellogg's Limited Edition Birthday Cake Pop-Tarts

To celebrate the Oreo cookie’s 100th birthday, Nabisco released Birthday Cake Oreo cookies. This year, it’s Pop-Tarts’ 50th birthday and Kellogg’s is celebrating with birthday cake-flavored Pop-Tarts. By the way, it’s also Doritos’ 50th birthday, so I hope Birthday Cake Doritos is in our future. (Spotted by Dubba at Walmart.)

QUICK REVIEW: California Pizza Kitchen Limited Edition Spicy Chipotle Chicken Crispy Thin Crust Pizza

California PIzza Kitchen Limited Edition Spicy Chipotle Chicken Crispy Thin Crust Pizza

Purchased Price: $5.99 (on sale)
Size: 14.1 oz.
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 5 out of 10
Pros: Pleasant sweet and smoky sauce with a hint of lime. Nice crispy crust. Long list of toppings (white meat chicken, roasted corn, black beans, poblano peppers, fire-roasted red and yellow peppers, cilantro, mozzarella, parmesan, asiago, and romano cheeses, and a spicy chipotle lime sauce). Preservative-free crust.
Cons: Not spicy at all. It would make the Spicy Chipotle Chicken pizza available at California Pizza Kitchen restaurants cry because this frozen version is a poor representation of it. Nice long list of toppings didn’t translate into a pizza with a complex flavor. Not a lot of chicken. Had to manually move toppings to get an even distribution.

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – Nabisco Lemon Oreo

Nabisco Lemon Oreo

I wonder if there’s any difference between these and the Limited Edition Lemon Twist Oreo Cookies that have shown up for a limited time the past two years. Also, Nabisco should team up with a cleaning company to make Lemon Oreo scented cleaners. (Spotted by Lindsay at Walmart.)
