Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Jumbles

QUINOA!!! **shakes fist** Leave our bad-for-you treats alone! (Spotted by Sylvia at Trader Joe’s.)

Rockstar Island Fruit Flavor Organic Energy Drink

Rockstar Organic has organic caffeine from organic green coffee beans, organic cane sugar, and the word “organic” too many times on its can. (Spotted by Joshua at Shell.)

Rockstar Lime Freeze and Pina Colada Energy Drink

I do not have enough fingers and toes to count the number of Rockstar Energy flavors there are now. (Spotted by Rene at FoodMaxx.)

Angie's Boom Chicka Pop Sweet Barbeque Popcorn

I read on the internet that these might be a Hy-Vee exclusive flavor. If that’s the case, it’s BOOM CHICKA NOT for those of us who don’t live in the Midwest. (Spotted by Tabitha at Hy-Vee.)

Angies Boom Chicka Pop Strawberry Cupcake

When I think of romantic gifts to give to my sweetheart, I think of strawberry cupcake flavored kettle corn. Because I’m a cheap bastard. (Spotted by Sarah at Target.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: IHOP Criss-Croissants

IHOP Criss Croissants

IHOP could’ve been like other chains and come out with their own donut-croissant hybrid. But, apparently, IHOP also stands for I Have Other Plans. Instead of a donut-croissant hybrid, IHOP has created a waffle-croissant hybrid — the Criss-Croissants.

They feature croissant dough baked in a waffle iron, then they’re filled with a sweet cream, folded over, and topped with fruit. Criss-Croissants are available in two varieties. Blackberry Lemonade features a waffled croissant filled with lemonade cream and topped with blackberries. Strawberry Rhubarb is a waffled croissant filled with sweet cream cheese and covered with a strawberry rhubarb topping.

Criss-Croissants are available as part of a breakfast combo at participating IHOP restaurants until April 5.

An egg combo with a Blackberry Lemonade Criss-Croissant has 1060 calories, 55 grams of fat, 19 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 650 milligrams of cholesterol, 1110 milligrams of sodium, 111 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of fiber, 45 grams of sugar, and 31 grams of protein.

An egg combo with a Strawberry Rhubarb has 1070 calories, 67 grams of fat, 26 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 685 milligrams of cholesterol, 1210 milligrams of sodium, 86 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 27 grams of sugar, and 30 grams of protein.
