Here are some new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. We may or may not review them, but we’d like to let you know what new items are popping up. We’ll also occasionally throw in an unusual product.

Do you play paper football? Well, you should try playing Football Oreo Football since they’re back again for a limited time. Instead of flicking a folded piece of paper around, you flick these football-shaped cookies. If you kick a field goal, you get a point. But if you kick a field goal and your opponent catches it in their mouth, they get a point. But if that happens and you’re one of those people who doesn’t like to wash their hands after using the restroom, you both lose. (Spotted at Super Stop & Shop. Spotted by Jaitlyn.)

To make these Hungry Jack Easy Pack Pancakes, all I need to do is just add water. Ugh. Adding water is so hard. And I probably have to stir the water and pancake mix. Ugh. Stirring is so hard. Then I have to wait for them to cook on a griddle. Ugh. Waiting is so hard. (Spotted at Target. Spotted by Robert.)

I would like to point out that the guy who designed this can is from this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Yeah, rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean represent! Yay! Yay! Here’s a Thirsty Dudes review of the drink. Spotted at 7-Eleven. Spotted by Lydia.)

I wonder how many Tyson Stuffed Mini Bread Bowls I can stuff into my mouth at one time. (Spotted at Safeway. Spotted by Richard.)

I like Craisins. I like chocolate covered stuff. And the two together must be pretty awesome. So I’m a bit disappointing these chocolate covered Craisins are only a limited edition. That’s craisin-zy! I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it. (Spotted at Tom Thumb. Spotted by Justine.)

If you’re out shopping and see a new or limited edition product on the shelf (or really unusual), snap a picture of it, and send us an email ([email protected]) with where you found it and “Spotted” in the subject line. If you do so, you might see your picture in our next Spotted on Shelves post.

So, you know how Equal comes in the blue packets, Splenda comes in the yellow packets, and Sweet’n Low comes in pink packets? Well, there a new no-calorie sweetener that’s going to claim orange packets. That’s sweetener my friends is Nectresse.

I know what you’re thinking. It totally sounds like a brand of citrus shampoo, but it’s not. Also, I think Nectresse would make a great stripper name.

This new natural no-calorie sweetener is made by the folks who make Splenda and, according to those folks, a packet of Nectresse provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar. The sweetener is made with erythritol, sugar, monk fruit extract, and molasses.

Yeah, I don’t know what monk fruit is either, so I AltaVistaed it, after I Googled to see if AltaVista still existed. Google led me to Wikipedia, which said it’s a small gourd-like fruit that’s native to China.

The Wikipedia entry didn’t specifically say why it’s called monk fruit, but after seeing pictures of it, I can only guess it got its name because the fruit looks like the bald head of a monk.

Yup, it’s a Canadian version of Spotted on Shelves. Here are some new and limited edition products found on Canadian store shelves by TIB reader Darren. All products were spotted at his local Calgary Co-op.

Holy Canadians! They’re only now getting Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts! If I knew they didn’t have them earlier and lived near the US-Canada border, I would’ve smuggled them into the country and traded them for cheap generic Canadian pharmaceuticals or maple syrup. But now that Canada has them, that plan goes out the window.

I’ve seen these for several years in the US and I imagine they’ve also been in Canada for a while. They keep coming back, so people must like them. But me, I don’t think they’re anything special. Here’s a review from Junk Food Guy. Or if you want a review from a Canadian, here’s one.

Cans are so 2000-and-late. It’s all about boxes, baby. Along with this beef stock, there are also chicken and cream stocks to allow Canadian to use their culinary creativity or follow the recipes on Campbell’s Canadian website. They contain no additional colours or flavours. They also sound better than bouillon cubes.

Along with the Classic Dark Chocolate you see above, these Ahoy! Extras are also available in Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter and Roasted Almond and Chocolate. They appear to be pudgy little cookies with their respective “extras” baked in. I could see myself accidentally eating a bag of these in one sitting. Or “accidentally” stealing it from someone else.

Hey, international TIB readers!
