SPOTTED: Candy Pop Snickers Popcorn
I wonder if Candy Pop has the cornrageousness to make popcorn with fruity candy, like Skittles, Starburst, and banana Runts. (Spotted by Robbie at Sam’s Club.)
REVIEW: Limited Edition Chips Ahoy Sour Patch Kids Cookies
Thankfully, the candy pieces in Limited Edition Chips Ahoy Sour Patch Kids Cookies aren’t chopped up Sour Patch Kids baked into the cookies.
Because if they were, I’d be freaked out by a gummy arm or leg sticking out of the cookie or an eye of a Sour Patch Kid half-buried in the cookie looking at me with a look of vengeance.
Instead of dismembering the popular candy to make these cookies, they have small colorful fruity-flavored chips and even smaller gummy fruity bits that’ll get stuck to your teeth.
Although these are Chips Ahoy cookies, you need to get out of your head that they’re chocolate chip cookies. You will not find brown chocolate chips. You will not see the word “chocolate” anywhere in the ingredients list.
What you will see is that the cookies look like what might happen if Crayola and Chips Ahoy collaborated using actual crayon pieces. What you will smell with these cookies is something that reminds me of a fruity breakfast cereal with a citrusy emphasis.
They smell nice, but when it comes to flavor, it’s not as appealing, and these might be Chips Ahoy’s Swedish Fish Oreo. For those of you too young to remember that limited edition Oreo, it was a variety I imagine nine out of ten Oreo fans would consider the titleholder for Weirdest Tasting Oreo Flavor. It also combined a beloved cookie owned by Mondelez International with the flavor of a beloved gummy candy owned by Mondelez International.
Most of the bites taken from these Chips Ahoy Cookies have an odd taste. Both candy bits have some sourness, but it seems to be more noticeable with the chewy nubs. And that sour flavor doesn’t go well with the rest of the cookie.
But the worst part is the aftertaste, which makes me wonder if I just ate an orange Flintstones vitamin or someone forced a fruitcake into my mouth. On the bright side, I should be glad the cookies aren’t as sour as the candy, which would’ve made these even less palatable.
There were a few decent tasting bites that reminded me of a lemon cookie, but, overall, Limited Edition Chips Ahoy Sour Patch Kids is the titleholder for Weirdest Tasting Chips Ahoy Flavor.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Sonic Queso Burger
It’s a new month, which means it’s time for a new Sonic product. Actually, I don’t think the chain releases a new product EVERY month, but it sure does seems like it. Anyhoo, Sonic has introduced the Queso Burger.
It features a quarter-pound, 100% pure beef patty topped with cheddar, a zesty cheese sauce with Hatch Green Chiles, grilled onions, and mayo on a toasted bakery bun. The burger has an advertised price of $3.99 and is available for a limited time.
If you’re not familiar with Hatch Green Chiles, join the club. If you want to be familiar with the pepper, you can read this, which was the second article that popped up when I typed into Google “what are hatch green chiles.”
If you’ve tried Sonic’s Queso Burger, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
