Limited Edition Swiss Miss Candy Cane with Peppermint Marshmallows

Keep warm this winter with Swiss Miss Limited Edition Candy Cane with Peppermint Marshmallows…or with a regular hot cocoa with regular marshmallows. They work the same way. (Spotted by Yuna at Albertsons.)

Archer Farms Candy Cane Coffee

Keep warm this winter with Archer Farms Limited Time Only Candy Cane Coffee by either drinking it or bathing in it. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Hershey's Candy Cane bar

Keep warm this winter with Hershey’s Candy Cane Bars. Just melt them down, let them cool for a little bit, and then apply the melted candy to your skin. Oh wait. Did I say, “Keep warm this winter”? I meant to say, “Attract ants.” (Spotted by Lauren at Target.)

Market Pantry Candy Cane Chewy Cocoa Granola Bars

Keep warm this winter with Market Pantry Candy Cane Chewy Cocoa Granola Bars by buying every single box within a 100 mile radius, taking the bars out of the boxes, and then throwing the boxes into your fireplace to keep the fire going. (Spotted by Sofia at Target.)

QUICK REVIEW: Jack in the Box Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Shake

/ / Reviews

Jack in the Box Pumpkin Spice Shake

Purchased Price: $3.29
Size: 16 oz.
Purchased at: Jack in the Box
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Pleasing pumpkin spice flavor, but not as good as Jack’s Pumpkin Pie Shake, which this shake replaced. Creamy. Comes with whipped topping and a cherry. Made with ice cream. Being able to tie a cherry stem into a knot in your mouth with your tongue.
Cons: Not as sweet and flavor doesn’t pop as much as Jack in the Box’s Pumpkin Pie Shake. Whipped topping slightly dulls the pumpkin spice flavor (but you can get it without the whipped topping and cherry). Drinking one is almost like eating a burger, nutrition-wise. ANOTHER pumpkin spice product.

QUICK REVIEW: Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights

/ / Reviews / 12 Comments

Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights

Purchased Price: $1.69*
Size: 4 pieces
Purchased at: Taco Bell
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Definitely delightful. Cinnamon has that familiar and addictive Cinnabon flavor. Sugar and cinnamon give each pastry a nice sugary crunch on top of the slightly crispy pastry exterior. More satisfying than a Taco Bell Churro. A 4-pack is much better for you than a Cinnabon Classic cinnamon roll and better for you than a Cinnabon Minibon Roll. Much cleaner than eating a Cinnabon cinnamon roll.
Cons: Filling isn’t as sweet as frosting on a Cinnabon Classic cinnamon roll. Pastry is a bit thin. Could’ve used a bit more filling. Having to use more than one napkin while eating a Cinnabon Classic cinnamon roll.

*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.
