Keep warm this winter with Archer Farms Limited Time Only Candy Cane Coffee by either drinking it or bathing in it. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Hershey's Candy Cane bar

Keep warm this winter with Hershey’s Candy Cane Bars. Just melt them down, let them cool for a little bit, and then apply the melted candy to your skin. Oh wait. Did I say, “Keep warm this winter”? I meant to say, “Attract ants.” (Spotted by Lauren at Target.)

Market Pantry Peppermint Whipped Dairy Topping

Or overdose by eating everything in this post, including these Kemps Limited Edition Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwiches. (Spotted by Alyssa at Rouses.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – Wrigley’s Extra Dessert Delights Peach Cobbler Gum

Wrigley's Extra Dessert Delights Peach Cobbler

Wrigley’s could’ve come out with a pumpkin pie-flavored Extra Dessert Delights gum for the fall, but, instead, went with the classic autumn dessert, peach cobbler. Oh, there’s nothing like picking peaches from the freezer that were originally picked from a tree during the summer and making peach cobbler. (Spotted by Erin at Target.)

If you want your dried grapes to taste like oranges, the Sun-Maid Orange Cream Yogurt Raisins might be for you. (Spotted by Charmi at Safeway.)

Marcela Valladolid Fiery Habanero Flaquitos

I have no idea who Marcela Valladolid is, but she must be famous enough to have her own line of products at Safeway. I hope someday The Impulsive Buy becomes famous enough that it has its own line of products, which will most likely be horrible for you. (Spotted by Charmi at Safeway.)

V8 V-Fusion Refreshers Tangerine Passionfruit

V8 V-Fusion Refreshers Cranberry Grape

First, there was V8; then there was V8 V-Fusion; and now there’s V8 V-Fusion Refreshers. If adding a word is all it takes to create a new V8 product, then I look forward to V8 V-Fusion Refreshers Sparkling or V8 V-Fusion Refreshers Xtreme. (Spotted by Kelcey at Fresh Grocer.)

Rold Gold Peanut Butter Dipped Pretzels

At first glance I thought these Rold Gold Peanut Butter Dipped Pretzels looked good, but then I got to “Artificially Flavored Tiny Twists” and thought maybe not. They should’ve printed the “Artificially Flavored Tiny Twists” in a smaller font…and on the back of the bag. (Spotted by Marc at Walgreens.)

Tostitos and Doritos Top n' Go

If you’ve ever wanted to eat nachos like you’re a horse with a feed bag on your face, this product found next to the nacho toppings at a truck rest stop might help make that dream a reality. (Spotted by Travis at Pilot.)

Wait a minute. Canada hasn’t had Crunchy Nut cereal all this time? (Spotted by Rory at Food Basics in Canada.)
