Here are some new 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.
Baking technology FTW! So I take it these are basically huge canisters filled with the stuff that’s found in Betty Crocker’s Warm Delights. No need for vegetable oil and no need to crack eggs and then dig around in the egg whites for bits of egg shells that accidentally fell in because I hit the edge of the bowl too hard with the egg.
I prefer chunky peanut butter over creamy peanut butter, but I don’t like how I go through a jar of the chunky stuff much faster than a jar of the creamy stuff. And I’m afraid I would go through a 12-ounce jar of Planters NUT-rition in a week because not only are there peanuts mixed in, there are also things like raisins, granola, peanuts, and banana chips. Option Pitch and Waffle Crisp reviewed one of the flavors.
Cream of Wheat has been around for over 100 years and only now they come out with a chocolate flavor. Geez, Cream of Wheat has been making people suffer throughout bowls and bowls of regular Cream of Wheat for a very, very long time. Thanks for the photo, Bobby!
Thanks, Hello Kitty, for this gummy treat shaped like your head that will ensure I get my vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D3, vitamin E, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, pantothenic acid, iodine, zinc, choline, and meso-inositol.
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.
McDonald’s sells chicken in so many ways. There’s McNuggets, McBites, Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips, grilled chicken filets, crispy chicken filets, crispy chicken patties, and now in Atlanta they’re selling bone-in chicken wings.
McDonald’s Mighty Wings showed up on Metro Atlanta menu boards earlier this month. According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the chicken wings come in three-, five- and ten-piece servings, starting at $2.99.
The article also says the chicken comes with either Creamy Ranch, Spicy Buffalo, and Tangy Barbecue sauce, but I’m sure you could ask for any of the other McNuggets sauces, like the great Hot Mustard.
Here’s a non-promotional photo of McDonald’s Mighty Wings that someone posted on Instagram.
