NEWS: Wrigley’s Hubba Bubba Set To Release Dr Pepper and Orange Crush Gums

/ / Coming Soon / 3 Comments

In the 1980s, there was a Dr Pepper-flavored gum with a liquid center produced by a Wrigley subsidiary called Amurol, which also produced A&W Root Beer, RC Cola, and 7Up bubble gum. Oh, Amurol also produced Mr. T Gold Chain chewing gum. These soda-flavored gums were also discontinued in the 1980s.

However, Dr Pepper fans will soon get to experience The Dr in chewable form when Wrigley releases Hubba Bubba Dr Pepper gum later this year. Oh, but that’s not all soda-flavored gum chewing fans. There will also be an Orange Crush-flavored Hubba Bubba as well.

Each pack will contain five pieces, but we’re not sure if it will have a gushing liquid center like the original Dr Pepper gum.

Today, Ben & Jerry’s posted on their Instagram account a sneak peak of their upcoming Limited Batch Cannoli Ice Cream. The flavor is made up of mascarpone ice cream with fudge covered cannoli pieces and a mascarpone swirl.

This isn’t the first Ben & Jerry’s ice cream that features cannoli as one of its main ingredients. In the late 90s, the Vermont-based company offered Holy Cannoli which contained ricotta and pistachio ice cream with chocolate covered cannolis and roasted pistachios.

So for those of you who have overused Ben & Jerry’s Resurrect A Flavor page to bring back Holy Cannoli, this new limited batch flavor might be as close as you’re going to get.

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 9/18/2012

/ / Spotted on Shelves / 11 Comments

It’s a holiday themed Spotted on Shelves this week. Here are some festive (new and old) products found on store shelves. We may or may not review them, but we’d like to let you know what items are popping up.

Yoplait Pumpkin Pie

Oh, Yoplait. You’re so proficient at making dessert flavored yogurt. It’s a gift. I hope you never ever lose it. (Thanks for the photo, Adam!)

Coffeemate Pumpkin Spice

Is your coffee creamer not festive enough? Does it match the Halloween/Thanksgiving decorations around your office/cubicle? If not, Coffeemate has your back with a Pumpkin Spice flavored creamer. Coffeemate also has your backside in mind because it’s also sugar free. (Thanks for the photo, Adam!)

Philadelphia Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese

Is your bagel not festive enough? Try spreading on some Philly Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese. Or make any spoon festive by using it to eat the pumpkin-flavored cream cheese straight out of the tub. Here’s Clearance Cuisine’s review. (Thanks for the photo, Adam!)

Hershey's Kisses Pumpkin Spice

Pumpkin Spice Hershey’s Kisses have been available for years and they’re back again. People must really like them. Or Hershey’s made trillions of them and have yet to sell them all. Here’s a 2008 Candyblog review and here’s a 2011 Foodette Reviews review. (Thanks for the photo, Chris!)

Milky Way Caramel Apple

Hey look! It’s something new for trick-or-treaters and office candy jars at the receptionist’s desk. Here’s a review from Mmm…Deliciousness. (Thanks for the photo, Chris!)

If you’re out shopping and see a new product on the shelf (or really unusual), snap a picture of it, email it to us at [email protected] with “Spotted” in the subject line, and you might see it in our next Spotted on Shelves post.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Pei Wei Asian Diner To Offer Sriracha Chicken Next Month, But Not The Sriracha You Love and Burn Your Mouth With

/ / Fast Food News / 2 Comments

Pei Wei Asian Diner, P.F. Chang’s fast casual sister, will start offering their new Sriracha Chicken on October 8. To promote the spicy chicken dish, Pei Wei has put up a special website detailing how the dish was developed.

Now before you sriracha sauce fans get excited, you should know that the sauce they used isn’t the Rooster Sauce we all know, love, and burn our taste buds with. Instead, Pei Wei’s chefs flew to Thailand, a place filled with sriracha sauces we all don’t know and don’t love, to create their own sriracha sauce.

According to the Pei Wei’s Sriracha Chicken website, the dish will also feature pineapples, tomatoes, and Chinese long beans.

NEWS: McDonald’s Testing Asian McNoodles in a Non-Asian Country

McDonald's Golden Arches in Innsbruck, Austria

Austrian McDonald’s restaurants will be offering two noodle dishes called McNoodles starting this week for a limited time.

The noodle entrees are made up of noodles, vegetables, chicken, and either a sweet and sour or curry sauce. McNoodles will cost 4.99 euros ($6.56 US).

If McNoodles are successful, we could eventually see them in the U.S., much like McDonald’s McWraps, which were originally sold in European and South American locations, and are now being tested in Chicago.

If any of our Austrian readers (I know there are a few) try McNoodles, let us know what you think of the dish in the comments below.
