SPOTTED: Chicken & Waffles Pringles
Update: We tried it! Click here to read our review.
I was told these are exclusive to Dollar General. I was also told no waffles were harmed in the making of these. However, I do not know how many, if any, chickens were harmed to make these. Although, I imagine the chicken flavor was made by having Julius Pringles eat a lot of chicken strips and then combing his mustache to collect the oils and chicken strip breading crumbs that got trapped in it.

REVIEW: Burger King Jalapeno Cheddar Bites
What are Burger King Jalapeño Cheddar Bites?
Do you enjoy jalapeño poppers from other fast food chains, like those from Sonic and Jack in the Box?
Well, Burger King’s version is basically the same thing, but in a more convenient bite-sized format with a golden deep fried coating that hides a gorgeous glob of a tangy cheddar with tiny jalapeño bits swimming in it.
How are they?
While it would be easy to compare BK’s Jalapeño Cheddar Bites to something like its gimmicky Chicken Fries or Cheesy Tots, these mouth-filling morsels manage to move past that and land almost in a full-meal territory. A bag of eight eat-em-ups can fill almost anyone’s tummy with their somewhat spicy/definitely cheesy goodness.
Dipping sauce is not necessary.
The peppers provide a suitable enough heat, at least for most of the BK-buying public. While I wish it was a bit hotter, the big bites taste like chile con queso.
Is there anything else you need to know?
I purchased the stacked 8-pack for $2.09, but there is a smaller 4-bite set that runs a whole buck for smaller snack-addicts.
Conclusion:
A win from Burger King, the Jalapeño Cheddar Bites deliver more cheese than heat, but here that’s a great thing that works in its favor and flavor.

SPOTTED: Ben & Jerry’s Exclusive Flavor Berry Sweet Mascarpone Ice Cream
Update: We tried it! Click here to read our review.
There have been multiple exclusive Ben & Jerry’s flavors for Walmart, Target, 7-Eleven, and Albertsons/Safeway, but this is the first Whole Foods-exclusive flavor. First, Whole Foods gets bought by Jeff Bezos and now it gets an exclusive Ben & Jerry’s flavor. It doesn’t get any better than having an exclusive ice cream flavor.
