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.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\"Swedish<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Swedish Fish and Big Sour Patch Kids Go-Paks!<\/div>\n

<\/small><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I imagine these would fit nicely in car cup holders. Commuting with Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\"Pillsbury<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pillsbury Gluten Free Sugar and Chocolate Chip Premium Cookie Mix and Chocolate Fudge Premium Brownie Mix<\/div>\n

<\/small><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That’s nice, Pillsbury. But besides making them gluten-free, how about making them baking-free? That would also be helpful. (Spotted by Erin K at Walmart.)<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\"Pearson's<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pearson’s Mint Patties Minis<\/div>\n

<\/small><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When I bite into a Pearson’s Mint Patties Minis, I get the sensation of biting into something that’s not a York Peppermint Patty. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\"Dare<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dare Thin Creme Cookies (Chocolate and Maple)<\/div>\n

<\/small><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How dare you, Dare! You dared to come out with your own thin sandwich cookie. (Spotted by Junk Food Dog at Metro in Canada.)<\/i><\/p>\n
