Impulsive Buy reader Rene sent this photo of his TV playing a commercial for a new Jack in the Box Buttery Jack variety that being tested in Visalia, CA.

The Bistro Buttery Jack features a beef patty topped with melted garlic herb butter, tomato, lettuce, grilled onions, Havarti cheese (oooh, fancy!), and truffle aioli sauce (oooh, double fancy!).

To be honest, I had no idea what Havarti cheese was, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, it’s a semisoft Danish cow’s milk cheese that has a buttery sweet flavor.

With the presence of Starbucks seemingly everywhere, I sometimes forget about The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (even though there are two locations with 1.5 miles from me right now). But the coffee and tea chain has caught my attention with their new Cookie Butter Latte.

It combines The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s premium espresso, brown sugar, and gingerbread with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top. The flavor is also available as an Ice Blended drink that’s topped with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar.

The cookie butter-flavored beverages will be available until December 28.
