COMING SOON (AGAIN) : Crispy M&M’s

M M s Crispy Milk Chocolate

About two weeks ago, I sent out this tweet:

I didn’t write a post about it here at The Impulsive Buy because that’s all I knew. But now I know a whole lot more thanks to the press release Mars sent out this morning. Crispy M&M’s will be re-released in January 2015, it’ll be a regular flavor, and it’ll be available in 1.35 oz., 2.83 oz. and 9.9 oz. bags.

For those who’ve never had the pleasure of eating Crispy M&M’s, they were milk chocolate M&M’s with a crispy rice center. They were originally released in 1998 and discontinued in 2005 in the U.S., but they have been available in the U.K. and Europe.

Now that Crispy M&M’s is coming back, we should all now focus our attention on asking Mars to bring back Cookies-n-Creme Twix.

Oh, that’s the Nacho Monster Taco, which has nacho cheese sauce and jalapeños. I guess that one could also be called a Southwest Monster Taco.

Starbucks Discoveries Gingerbread Latte

So there’s a Starbucks Discoveries Gingerbread Latte, but no Starbucks Discoveries Pumpkin Spice Latte. I guess Starbucks does not like money. (Spotted by Logan at Schuncks.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Papa John’s Ultimate Meats Pizza

/ / Fast Food News

Papa John s Ultimate Meats Pizza

Pepperoni, deli-style salami, sausage, center-cut Canadian bacon, and hickory-smoked bacon is a long list of items you would find at a quality butcher. It’s also the list of meats found on Papa John’s Ultimate Meats Pizza.

Impressive?

Not really. If Papa John’s also topped it with beef and chicken, then I think it would truly be the “ultimate” because it would be topped with every meat Papa John’s offers.

The Ultimate Meats Pizza is also covered with mozzarella and natural pizza sauce, and sprinkled with bacon seasoning.

A slice from a large pizza has 380 calories, 18 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 1150 milligrams of sodium, 38 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, 16 grams of protein.

Papa John’s Ultimate Meats Pizza is available until October 26.

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.

Nestle Drumstick Limited Edition Peppermint Variety

If Nestle follows their Girl Scout candy bars and Nesquik milk with Girl Scout Drumsticks, I could see them renaming one of these flavors to Thin Mints. (Spotted by Amber at Walmart.)

International Delight Caramel Marshmallow

This International Delight coffee creamer makes me wonder what coffee would be like with mini marshmallows floating on top. (Spotted by Lindsay at Meijer.)

Dannon Oikos Caramel on Top Bananas Foster Greek Yogurt

Insert bananas + on top joke here. (Spotted by Richard at Walmart.)

Skinny Pop Limited Edition Hatch Chile Popcorn

I have no idea what a hatch chile is. If you’re in the same boat, let’s learn together. (Spotted by Lindsay at Kroger.)

Krusteaz Cobbler Topping and Crisp Topping

If a stranger on the street gave me a crisp topping on a peach cobbler and a cobbler topping on an apple crisp, I don’t think I would notice a difference because I wouldn’t eat food given to me by some random person on the street. (Spotted by Erin at Walmart.)
