SPOTTED ON SHELVES – Magnum Infinity Ice Cream Bars

Magnum Infinity Chocolate & Raspberry Ice Cream Bars

Magnum Infinity Chocolate & Caramel Bars

Magnum Infinity Chocolate Bars

It looks like the U.S. is FINALLY getting Magnum Infinity Ice Cream Bars. Maybe they should rename them to Magnum Eternity Ice Cream Bars, because they took an eternity to get here. Okay, it’s been only two years since they were introduced in U.K. (Spotted by Brent at Kroger.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 1/13/2014

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.

Skinny Cow Chocolate Mousse Ganache

Chocolate mousse ganache? More like chocolate mousse I’m gonna nosh. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

Lean Cuisine Morning Collection

I wonder how complex the warming instructions are for these Lean Cuisine Morning Collection breakfast sandwiches. The prep instructions for frozen breakfast sandwiches usually tell me to wrap the sandwich in a paper towel and put it on a microwave safe plate, then put it in the microwave for 90 second at 30 percent power, then flip it over and heat it up for 60 seconds at full power, and then let it sit in the microwave for another 60 seconds.

Healthy Choice Cherry Chocolate Fudge Swirl Greek Frozen Yogurt

Another Healthy Choice Greek Frozen Yogurt flavor! Quick question: Do the stores near you place the Healthy Choice Greek Frozen Yogurt next to the Healthy Choice meals instead of in the ice cream aisle? Some of mine do. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

Orbit Apple Remix Gum

An Apple Remix Orbit Gum a day keeps the doctor on your back about swallowing your gum. (Spotted by Natalie at Walmart.)

Limited Edition Skinny Cow Chocolate Raspberry Heavenly Crisp

The Skinny Cow Facebook page says these are available only at Target. (Waits for someone to tell me otherwise.) (Spotted by Blaire at Target.)

QUICK REVIEW: Jamba Juice Kale-ribbean Breeze

Jamba Juice Kale-ribbean Breeze

Purchased Price: $5.69
Size: Medium
Purchased at: Jamba Juice
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Nice fruity flavor and tasty way to get some vegetables into your body. Contains superfoods kale and chia seeds, but passionfruit mango juice, mangos, and nonfat Greek yogurt do a great job of hiding their flavor. Excellent source of vitamin A and vitamin C. Amateur filmmakers could use the green smoothie as an alien bodily fluid.
Cons: Alien green color might be an issue for some. Kale and chia seeds give the smoothie a different texture than others because they aren’t completely chopped down (feels like I was drinking a blended leafy salad, but I was fine with it). Because kale and chia seed flavors aren’t noticeable, it makes me wonder how much is put in. Lacks tang of Greek yogurt. Name makes Billy Ocean’s “Caribbean Queen” play in my head.

FAST FOOD FIVE – 1/10/2014

Here are five recent fast food news bites:

For a limited time, Starbucks is offering a caramel flan latte. BOOM! Try to make that, McDonald’s! (via Starbucks Melody)

Sacré bleu! KFC France is offering fried fish. (via Burger Business)

Wendy’s is testing a gouda bacon cheeseburger on a brioche bun. However, I’d really like to see Wendy’s test a brie bacon cheeseburger on a brioche bun just so I can find out if they’re willing to call it a Brie Bri. (via Grub Grade)

Wendy’s plans to release a ciabatta bacon cheeseburger. However, I’d really like to see Wendy’s release a brie bacon cheeseburger on a ciabatta bun just so I can find out if they’re willing to call it a Brie Cia. Hmm. Thought Brie Cia would work. It didn’t. (via Brand Eating)

Is it getting too cold outside? Well then, just walk into a Dunkin’ Donuts and stay there. You don’t have to purchase anything. I mean, it’s got to be warmer in a Dunkin’ Donuts than outside of a Dunkin’ Donuts. But if you feel bad about loitering, I guess you could try one of their new sweet treats. (via PR Newswire)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 1/10/2014

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.

Fiber One Meal Bar

Maybe it’s my inner Adrian Monk, but it bothers me that the Fiber One Strawberry Greek Yogurt Meal Bar box is bigger than the other Fiber One Meal Bar varieties. They’re all the same weight, but for some reason the Strawberry Greek Yogurt one is bigger. (Spotted by RiRi at Pick N’ Save.)

Nature Valley Breakfast Biscuits

Look at what you started, belVita! Are you happy with yourself? You’ve got us using the British version of “biscuits.” (Spotted by RiRi at Walmart.)

NutriGrain Fruit & Oat Harvest Bars

Real fruit, whole grains, and four grams of protein do not impress me, Nutri-Grain Fruit & Oat Harvest Bar, since other bars have them. How about a bar that has 20 grams of protein to give me energy, 20 grams of fiber to make me regular, and be roughly the size of my forearm so I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (Spotted by Amanda at Target.)

Quaker Real Medleys Cereal

Quaker Real Medleys are available in hot cereal, snack bar, and now dry cereal form. I’m guessing it won’t be long before we see Quaker Real Medleys Breakfast Biscuits. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

Post Great Grains Digestive Blend Cereal

I’m curious to know what would happen if I started my day with a bowl of Post Great Grains Digestive Blend Cereal, had an Activia yogurt for a mid-morning snack, ate a Fiber One Meal Bar for lunch, and consumed another Activia yogurt for a mid-afternoon snack. Would my dinner consist of me sitting on the toilet regretting it all? (Spotted by Dubba at Walmart.)
