Pecan Pie Pringles

Update: Click here to read our Pecan Pie Pringles review

Last year, Pringles introduced three seasonal sweet varieties — Cinnamon & Sugar, White Chocolate Peppermint, and Pumpkin Pie Spice. This year, they’ve come out with another flavor that doesn’t sound right being on a potato crisp — Pecan Pie. (Spotted by Brandon at Dollar General.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 10/14/2013

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.

Mtn Dew Game Fuel Electrifying Berry

New Mountain Dew Game Fuel! Well, one old Mountain Dew Game Fuel flavor and the new Electrifying Berry Mountain Dew. (Spotted by James at Walgreens.)

Rally Bar 2

Rally Bar 1

Rally Bar is back for a limited time exclusively at Walgreens! Enjoy a candy bar your parents probably ate! (Spotted by Lauren at Walgreens.)

Nestle Carnation Cinnamon Coffeecake & Bread Kit

I personally wouldn’t make this. I’d just go to a grocery store bakery, buy coffeecake, cut it up, stick in my own container, and then say I made it. (Spotted by Sara at Walmart.)

Taco Bell Sauces

Are these really necessary? I’m sure everyone who regularly visits Taco Bell has got a pile of unused sauce packets that just gets bigger because Taco Bell employees give more packets than we need. (Spotted by Daisy at Walmart.)

Kroger Private Selection Michigan Cherry Cobbler Ice Cream

Hey, Krogerites! (I believe that’s what people who shop at Kroger are called.) Enjoy this for a limited time. Or buy a whole bunch of it and maybe they’ll make it a regular flavor. (Spotted by Lindsay at Kroger.)

Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes Almond Joy Coconut Almond

A knew Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes kind.(Spotted by Adam at Safeway.)

FAST FOOD FIVE – 10/11/2013

IMG_2074

Here are five recent fast food news bites:

Starbucks in the U.K. is selling a donut-muffin hybrid called duffin. Or they’ve started selling paper and shortened Dunder Mifflin. (via Business Week)

McDonald’s is testing a Southwest Chicken McWrap in the northeast. (via Grub Grade)

Start your morning with three maple sausage links, American cheese, and egg in a biscuit. Or be like 25 percent of Americans and skip breakfast. But if you eat breakfast, studies have shown, you’re more likely to remember facts like 25 percent of Americans skip breakfast. (via Business Wire)

Remember those Burger King Satisfries we reviewed recently? Well, Burger King is offering free Satisfries this weekend. So go get some free carbs! (via Huffington Post)

Including this post, we’ve mentioned Pei Wei only twice on this site. And both posts involved sriracha. So I think I’m going to create an official TIB rule: We will mention Pei Wei only when they come out with a new sriracha dish. (via Business Wire)

Limited Edition Frontera Chipotle Pumpkin Salsa

Oh look! The Great Pumpkin has answered my question. (Spotted by Lindsay at Meijer.)

Betty Crocker Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix

Betty Crocker Pumpkin Bar

Ugh! Instructions. Pre-heating. Mixing. Waiting. I want pumpkin baked goods and I want it NOW! (Spotted by Sara at Walmart.)

QUICK REVIEW: Nabisco Mixed Berry belVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits

belVita Soft Baked Mixed Berry Breakfast Biscuits

Purchased Price: $3.00 (on sale)
Size: 5 breakfast biscuits
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Good source of fiber. Moist. The Oats & Chocolate one tasted like a Fig Newton, but this one tastes even more so (which isn’t really a bad thing since I do enjoy them). Contains dried blueberries, raspberries, and cranberries. Doesn’t contain HFCS, artificial sweeteners, or partially hydrogenated oil. Better for you than a Pop-Tart.
Cons: Mixed Berry? More like Nixed Berry because there weren’t many of them. Makes a helluva lot of crumbs; probably not best to eat in the car unless you vacuum it every day. The way belVita is spelled. Makes my fingers slightly greasy. Strawberry must be pissed about it being left out.
