Jif Limited Edition Whipped Peanut Butter & Chocolate Mint Whips

If you ever buy Limited Edition Whipped Peanut Butter & Chocolate Mint Jif Whips, or any of the other Jif Whips varieties, open it in a quiet room, use your knife or a cookie to scoop some up, and listen to the sound these Jif Whips make. Or you could watch this video. (Spotted by Claire at Target.)

Mo’ soup for us! (Spotted by Michael and Melissa at Target.)

Morningstar Farms Parmesan Garlic Wings

I would be totally crazy if Morningstar Farms figured out a way to put bones made of soy into their Parmesan Garlic Chik’n Wings. They didn’t, but that would be some crazy food science. (Spotted by Melissa at Target.)

Nestle Coffee-mate Dark Chocolate Fudge

According to Coffee-mate, their Dark Chocolate Fudge creamer is a seasonal flavor. Not sure what’s so seasonal about dark chocolate fudge. (Spotted by Lindsay at Meijer.)

Limitted Edition Cookies n' Creme Oreo

Limited Edition Cookies n’ Creme Oreo are back! I’d like to chop these up and fold them into some cookies ‘n creme ice cream. Oreoception! (Spotted by Lindsay at Walgreens.)

QUICK REVIEW: Lay’s Fun Wasabi Shrimp Flavor Potato Chips (China)

Lay's Fun Wasabi Shrimp Flavor Potato Chips

Purchased Price: FREE
Size: 75 grams
Purchased at: Received from a friend
Rating: 3 out of 10
Pros: Enjoyable mild wasabi flavor; very little wasabi heat. Kind of smells like McDonald’s Hot Mustard Sauce. Whatever I eat to get the flavor of these chips out of my mouth.
Cons: Not fun after the wasabi flavor goes away. Do I taste cheese? Shrimp isn’t noticeable until the aftertaste. Smells fishy. I can’t eat much of it. Gagged twice while eating my way through the bag. Dollop of wasabi on the bag looks as sad as I do while eating these chips.

International Delight Vanilla Heat Creamer

Vanilla Heat sounds like a 1990s cop show set in Miami and starring Vanilla Ice, which would’ve been canceled after two episode because it starred Vanilla Ice. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Nestle Coffee-mate Spiced Latte Creamer

Coffee-Mate Pumpkin Spice isn’t so special anymore. It’s no longer the only spice creamer in the Coffee-Mate family. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Wonka Sweetarts Gummies

Wonka Sweettarts Gummies aren’t new, but putting them in a bigger resealable bag so you can chaineat your way through it is. (Spotted by Melissa at Walmart.)

Kellogg's Eggo Drizzlers Chocolate Icing

Bah! Back in my day, we didn’t need no fancy pouches to add chocolate icing to our waffles. We’d just grab a bottle of Hershey’s syrup and go to town. Our waffles looked like the Quik Bunny threw up on them. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Maybe pouring some International Delight Pumpkin Pie Spice creamer into the yogurt would help. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

QUICK REVIEW: Kellogg’s Eggo Drizzlers Vanilla Icing Waffles

Kellogg's Eggo Vanilla Icing Drizzlers

Purchased Price: $3.19
Size: 6 waffles/box
Purchased at: Publix
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Waffles toast up crispy. Icing akin to cinnamon roll icing. 10 vitamins and minerals. Excellent for making breakfast sausage sandwiches. Excellent for making ice cream sandwiches. Fulfills lifelong goal to draw on a waffle. Filling in the waffle nooks reminds me of Tetris.
Cons: Homestyle waffle base is pretty bland on its own. Only 3 icing packs for 6 waffles. Must sustain patience for the icing to defrost. Must sustain patience for waffles to toast. Realizing I have no patience.
