Congratulations to the winners!
Thanks to everyone who participated. In case you missed it, we’re currently running another prize drawing. Also, be on the lookout for another prize drawing next week and the week after that.
The folks at Mountain Dew offered us a Mtn Dew/The Dark Knight Rises prize pack to give away to a lucky Impulsive Buy reader. The prize pack consists of the 3’x2′ poster of Bane and The Dark Knight Rises t-shirt you see in the image above. The t-shirt only comes in large and is a wonderfully soft American Apparel t-shirt.
If you win, you can wear the t-shirt when you see The Dark Knight Rises and if you stick the Bane poster to your ceiling, his scary face can be the last thing you see before you fall asleep.
If you don’t win, you might be able to acquire the t-shirt or poster by entering product codes from specially marked Mtn Dew products at DEWGothamCity.com. You can also use those product codes to enter sweepstakes for exclusive prizes, such as a signed script by Christopher Nolan (only five are in existence), costume replicas, and other gear you can’t get anywhere else.

Update: Click here to read our Dunkin’ Donuts Vanilla Bean Coolatta review.
I thought everything that could’ve been Oreo-fied had be Oreo-fied, but Dunkin’ Donuts has shown me how wrong I was by introducing their new Oreo Coffee Coolatta and Oreo Vanilla Bean Coolatta.
The new blended Oreo Coolattas beverages are available for a limited time.
A small (16 ounce) Oreo Coffee Coolatta with cream has 480 calories, 26 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 80 milligrams of cholesterol, 210 milligrams of sodium, 64 grams of carbohydrates, 49 grams of sugar, 1 gram of fiber, and 4 grams of protein. If you think the fat totals are a bit too high, you can make it better for you by swapping the cream with milk or skim milk.
A small Oreo Vanilla Bean Coolatta has 420 calories, 9 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 230 milligrams of sodium, 88 grams of carbohydrates, 75 grams of sugar, 1 gram of fiber, and 3 grams of protein. If you think the sugar total is a bit too high, you can make it better for you by pouring half of the frozen beverage on the ground.
Dunkin’ Donuts also has new Oreo donuts, but I’m too Oreo-ed out to explain them.
(Thanks to TIB reader Christopher for the heads up!)
Here are some new products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. We may or may not review them, but we’d like to let you know what new items are popping up. We’ll also occasionally throw in an unusual product.
Over the years I’ve been jealous of Canadians because they have ketchup potato chips readily available. Sure, a few companies here in the States make them, but it’s not as if I can walk into almost any store and pick them up like Canadians can. However, the new Lay’s Spicy Ketchup potato chips, which have been appearing on shelves here in the United States, give me hope that someday all Americans can have easy access to ketchup flavored potato chips. (Thanks Peter for the photo!)
To enjoy the flavors of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, and Reese’s Puffs, I can either pour any of the cereals into a bowl and add milk. Or I can preheat my oven, make the muffin mix batter, pour the batter into the individual cups in a muffin pan, place the pan in the oven, wait a bunch of minutes while it bakes, pull the pan out of the oven, and let them cool before eating. Or I can have someone else make the muffins for me. (Thanks Adam for the photo!)
Also, if I want to enjoy the flavor of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I can eat one of these Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal bars. Hey, General Mills! I’m still waiting for Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored milk. Oooh, two Box Tops for Education! (Thanks Adam for the photo!)
To enjoy a birthday cake, I can either buy birthday cake flavored Italian ice. Or I can preheat my oven, make cake batter, pour the batter into a cake pan, place the pan in the oven, wait a bunch of minutes while it bakes, pull the pan out of the oven, let it cool, spread a layer of frosting on top of the cake, and then cut a piece to enjoy. Or I can have someone else make the cake for me. (Thanks anonymous person for the photo!)
SQUEEE!!! Hello Kitty hand wash!
If you’re out shopping and see a new product on the shelf (or really unusual), snap a picture of it, email it to us at [email protected] with “Spotted” in the subject line, and you might see it in our next Spotted on Shelves post.
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Hey! I REALLY like those Starbucks Refreshers, so much so that I wish they came in a snortable form.”
If so, your wish will soon come true because next month Starbucks will offer a VIA Ready Brew version of their Refreshers.
(Note: Please don’t snort the VIA Refreshers)
Some of you might be thinking, “Hey! Those Starbucks Refreshers thingies sound familiar.” They should because earlier this year Starbucks introduced a line of ready-to-drink canned Refreshers, which you’ve probably passed by at your local grocery store. Here’s a Google search query for canned Starbucks Refreshers reviews.
According to the blog, Starbucks Melody, Starbucks VIA Refreshers will be hitting stores on July 10 and come in two flavors: Very Berry Hibiscus and Cool Lime. Making one is as easy as making a regular VIA coffee–just add water and stir. A Starbucks VIA Refreshers package will contain five mix packets, each of which will make a 16-ounce serving.
If you’ve sampled a Starbucks VIA Refresher, let us know what you thought of it in the comments below.
