The ampersand makes it fancier than plain ol’ pumpkin spice. (Spotted by Rachel C at Walmart.)

Jack in the Box did something crazy again.
The fast food chain created a portmanteau using another portmanteau. That’s crazy.
They also rolled out their Brunchfast Menu with a bunch of new entrees and sides.
One of the highlights of the menu is the Bacon & Egg Chicken Sandwich. It features crispy all-white meat chicken topped with a fried egg, American cheese, hickory smoked bacon, and bacon mayo on a toasted English muffin.
The sandwich has 649 calories, 39 grams of fat, 301 milligrams of cholesterol, 1629 milligrams of sodium, 37 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 37 grams of protein.
Then there’s the Brunch Burger, which is different than the one Jack in the Box offered in 2013 as a Munchie Meal. The burger has a 100 percent beef patty, a fried egg, American cheese, two slices of hickory smoked bacon, and mayonnaise on a buttery croissant. The older version also had a hash brown.
It has 770 calories, 55 grams of fat, 22 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 322 milligrams of cholesterol, 732 milligrams of sodium, 32 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 37 grams of protein.
Another highlight of the menu is the Southwest Scrambler Plate that features scrambled eggs served with fire roasted peppers, chiles, and pepper jack cheese; homestyle potatoes; and your choice of bacon or sausage.
It has 495 calories, 28 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 327 milligrams of cholesterol, 1375 milligrams of sodium, 38 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, and 23 grams of protein.
Other items on the Brunchfast menu include a side order of Homestyle Potatoes, Orange Cranberry Muffins, Mini Pancakes, A Blood Orange Fruit Cooler, iced coffee, and premium roast coffee.
Brunchfast is available all day at participating Jack in the Box locations.

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. If you’ve tried any of the products, share your thoughts about them in the comments.
Sadly, I don’t see crust infused into those bars. (Spotted by Amanda Y at Whole Foods.)
It’s weird to see normal looking Duff Goldman baking mixes. I’m not going to lie, I wish these had the bright colors that make me feel like I’m on LSD. (Spotted by Amanda Y at Walmart.)
Soooooo much chicken. Did you notice I put the same numbers of O’s as chicken photos above? (Spotted by Amanda Y at Kroger.)
Can someone explain to me how these are different than Mission’s usual small tortillas. (Spotted by Amanda Y at Walmart.)

The Southern favorite, Cheerwine, used to be on my soda bucket list.
Yes, I have a soda bucket list.
Cheerwine. Chugged.
Moxie. Imbibed.
Big Red. Knocked back.
Coco Fizz. Consumed.
Faygo. Someday, yo.
Dublin Dr Pepper. Unfortunately, never, since it’s not being made anymore.
To be honest, for a while, I thought Cheerwine was an alcoholic beverage. But thanks to the internet and one really boring evening at home, I learned it was not. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to drink it, and, holy cheer, it’s one sweet cherry soda. Sweet because it made my sweet tooth dance like the inflatable tube guy you see at car dealerships and sweet because it’s one awesome soda. Think of it as Dr Pepper, but instead of having 23 flavors, it has one flavor — cherry.
Being both from the South, Cheerwine and Krispy Kreme decided to join forces to create a Cheerwine with a hint of Krispy Kreme icing. This would’ve been a nice flavor to introduce next year, since 2017 is Cheerwine’s 100th birthday, but maybe the company plans to introduce Cheerwine with a hint of birthday cake to celebrate.
This is not the first time the two brands have come together for a product. They also did a Cheerwine-flavored Krispy Kreme donut, I mean, doughnut.
Cheerwine Kreme is noticeably lighter in color than original Cheerwine. While the original is Dr Pepper dark, the limited edition soda is like a slightly darker Big Red soda. It has an aroma that instantly makes me think of Vanilla Coke. It also has a vanilla flavor that instantly makes me think of a red creme soda.
I love red cream soda, so I enjoyed Cheerwine Kreme immensely. But it tastes exactly like a red creme soda. That’s an issue because Cheerwine has a unique flavor and the flavor of this isn’t.
A special thanks goes to Impulsive Buy reader Robert Harris who sent me the bottles of Cheerwine and Cheerwine Kreme. Cheers, Robert!

Pros: Tastes like red cream soda. Smells like Vanilla Coke. Probably less Red 40 than original Cheerwine.
Cons: Tastes like a red cream soda. Was available in very few markets. Not being able to drink Dublin Dr Pepper.
I wonder if these chips will taste similar to these chips. (Spotted by Chris B at Harris Teeter.)
