Almost any treat that allows me to bite off the limbs of a gingerbread man is a good treat. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

I just want to pull off its top crust and then dump cheese and a small bag of Fritos onto the pie. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

The Coconut Santa on the packaging may be the actual size, but it doesn’t look like a Santa. (Spotted by Sylvia at Rite Aid.)

Trail mix (noun) a mixture of mud, dead leaves, twigs, and fecal matter that get stuck in between shoe treads during nature hikes in wet weather. That’s trail mix redefined, Sunkist. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

COMING SOON: Sugar Plum Delight Peeps

Sugar Plum Peeps

After candy cane, hot cocoa, sugar cookie, and gingerbread, you’d think Peeps would come out with an eggnog-flavored Peep this Christmas season, but that’s not the case. Instead the company went with a white fudge dipped sugar plum flavored chick.

These are coming soon as a Target exclusive in 3-count packages.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Jack in the Box Bistro Buttery Jack

Jack in the Box Bistro Buttery Jack

Impulsive Buy reader Rene sent this photo of his TV playing a commercial for a new Jack in the Box Buttery Jack variety that being tested in Visalia, CA.

The Bistro Buttery Jack features a beef patty topped with melted garlic herb butter, tomato, lettuce, grilled onions, Havarti cheese (oooh, fancy!), and truffle aioli sauce (oooh, double fancy!).

To be honest, I had no idea what Havarti cheese was, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, it’s a semisoft Danish cow’s milk cheese that has a buttery sweet flavor.

If you’ve tried this test product, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Starburst Sweets & Sours

Starburst Sweets & Sours

The sweet flavors are strawberry and blackberry. The sour flavors are sour cherry and sour green apple. Also, if your candy IQ is greater than 200, you definitely know there was a Starburst Sour & Sweet several years ago. (Spotted by Lauren @CandyHunting on Instagram at 7-Eleven.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Ritter Sport Winter Edition Nut Crescent Cookie and Vanilla Chai Latte

Ritter Sport Winter Edition Nut Crescent Cookie and Vanilla Chai Latte

Every year the Ritter Sport snowman has different colored scarfs and beanies. It’s as if it went to a Gap sale a few years ago and bought every color. (Spotted by Carla at World Market.)
