SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 1/16/2013

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers.

Apple Cinnamon Muffin Pop-Tarts

There have been Apple Strudel Pop-Tarts, Apple Pie Pop-Tarts, Apple Cinnamon Pop-Tarts, and now these Apple Cinnamon Muffin Pop-Tarts, but I’m still waiting for Kellogg’s to bring back my favorite Pop-Tarts of all time — Frosted Dutch Apple Pop-Tarts. (Spotted by Laura at Walmart.)

Cheez-It Provolone

If I were to predict the flavor of these Provolone Cheez-Its using only my experience with Subway’s provolone cheese, then these crackers will have no flavor. Option Pitch and Waffle Crisp has a review. (Spotted by Adam at Weis Markets.)

Fiber One Protein Bars

Do you know what would be super funny? It would be super funny if General Mills’ competition, Kellogg’s, also released a new line of protein snack bars with fiber. (Spotted by Adam at Weis Markets.)

Kellogg's FiberPlus Antioxidants Protein

Oh, look. Kellogg’s did. That’s so funny. (Spotted by Adam at Weis Markets.)

Special K Red Berries Waffles (2013)

New? Oh, rrrreeeeaaally? (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers.

Lean Cuisine Salad Additions

The Lean Cuisine Salad Additions commercial has been playing a lot on Hulu and every time I saw the un-skippable ad, it made me want to try it more. I finally found them! They’re all mine! MINE! Well, only this southwest-style chicken flavor, because I couldn’t find the other varieties — Asian-Style, Bistro Chicken, and Cranberry & Chicken. (Spotted by Marvo at Walmart)

Eggo Strawberry Drizzlers

Eggo Blueberry Drizzlers

I’m one of those people who has to fill each pocket with syrup before I eat a waffle, so I hope the blueberry or strawberry topping packets that come with these Eggo Drizzlers allow me to do that. (Spotted by Adam at Weis)

Honey Bunches of Oats Greek

A teacher somewhere in America is going to ask his or her class, “What are Greeks known for?” A child in the class is going to raise his or her hand, get picked, and answer with conviction, “Yogurt!” The teacher will smile and then say, “Yes, but what else?” No hand will raise. (Spotted by Marvo at Walmart)

Post Grape Nuts Fit

“Power-packed nutrition for your everyday adventure.” I’m going to honest and say Grape Nuts Fit Cereal is probably overkill for my everyday adventures, which consist of banging away at my keyboard, making sure I don’t slouch in my office chair, and lifting a 12-ounce can of Diet Pepsi every so often. (Spotted by Marvo at Walmart.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 1/9/2013

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers.

Crystal Light Liquid

MiO’s sister brand, Crystal Light, has come out with her own line of liquid water enhancers, which include the following flavors: Blueberry Raspberry, Iced Tea, Mango Passionfruit, Strawberry Lemonade, Peach Bellini, and Pomtini. Now I guess we wait for MiO’s brother brand, Kool Aid, to bust through with his own line of liquid water enhancers. Oh yeah! (Spotted by Zachary at Walmart.)

Pringles Limited Time Only Cheeseburger

Pringles Limited Time Only Sea Salt & Pepper

I’m extremely disappointed the graphic designer who designed the Sea Salt & Pepper container didn’t put a little grey or white in the Pringles guy’s mustache. Junk Food Guy has a review of the Sea Salt & Pepper crisps. And Chip Review has a review of the Cheeseburger Pringles. (Spotted by Lael at Walmart.)

Keebler Chips Deluxe Triple Chocolate

I have yet to see a store-bought chocolate product break the through the triple chocolate level. Chocolate cookie, chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips got the cookies to the triple level, but I’m sure the Keebler elves could’ve easily dipped them in chocolate and then topped them with chocolate sprinkles. BOOM! Chips Deluxe Quintuple Chocolate Cookies! Damn, I should be a Keebler elf! (Spotted by Adam at Weis.)

Oscar Mayer Carving Board Pulled Pork

I could spend hours making my own pulled pork. Or I could spend seconds opening a container of Oscar Mayer’s Carving Board Pulled Pork. Or I could spend minutes in my car driving to a decent barbecue place. (Spotted by Adam at Walmart.)

NatureMade Adult Gummies

Still waiting for adult prescription medication gummies, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, and Bristol-Meyers Squibb. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 1/7/2013

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers.

Red Velvet Pop-Tarts

Holy crap! I predicted Red Velvet Pop-Tarts! Do you like apples, Mayans? Well, how do you like them apples? (Spotted by Rebecca at Walmart.)

Scooby Doo Cereal

I have two dogs and after seeing what’s in their food, I think veterinarians would agree that Scooby-Doo shouldn’t be eating Kellogg’s new Scooby-Doo cereal. Or the version with marshmallows from 2002. (Spotted by Cortney at Shoppers Food Warehouse.)

Stouffer's Special Edition

I wish it was called Stouffer’s Special Edition Side Addition Collection, because I love repetitive suffixes. Along with Cheddar Bacon Potatoes, other Stouffer’s Special Edition Side Dish Collection varieties I’ve found on the internet include Glazed Apples & Cranberries, Green Bean Casserole, Creamy Scalloped Potatoes, and Broccoli & Cheese Gratin. (Spotted by Shannon at Walmart.)

Power Rangers Pasta

I wonder if Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers in Space, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Power Rangers Time Force, Power Rangers Wild Force, Power Rangers Ninja Storm, Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Power Rangers S.P.D., Power Rangers Mystic Force, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, Power Rangers Jungle Fury, and Power Rangers RPM are jealous that Samurai Power Rangers pasta exists. (Spotted by Troy at Big Lots.)

NEWS: MiO Fit Liquid Water Enhancer, It’s Got Electrolytes

When I think of sports drinks, Gatorade is the first one that pops in my head. Although, when I’m super dehydrated after an eight-mile run, I think of any liquid I can get my hands on, but most of the time it’s Gatorade.

Besides Gatorade, there’s Powerade and…I can’t come up with names of any others. But now I can add Kraft’s MiO Fit Liquid Water Enhancer to the short list of sports drinks in my head. MiO Fit’s got what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes. It also has B vitamins.

MiO Fit will be available in 1.08-ounce bottles in two flavors: Berry Blast and Arctic Grape. Each bottle will make 18 eight-ounce servings. MiO announced the new flavors on their Facebook and Twitter pages.
