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\"Philadelphia<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Philadelphia Mashed Potatoes (Original and Chive & Onion)<\/div>\n

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

Hmmm. I never thought about adding cream cheese to mashed potatoes. Sour cream, yes. Whipped cream, yes. Shaving cream, yes. But not cream cheese. (Spotted by Lindsay A at Meijer.)<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\"Maruchan<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Maruchan Chipotle Chicken Instant Lunch<\/div>\n

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

If I was a 1950s jingle writer, the jingle I’d write for this would be, “If you’re looking for something quick to munch. Try Chipotle Chicken Maruchan Instant Lunch.” (Spotted by Melody at Meijer.)<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\"Balance<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Balance Dulce de Leche & Caramel Nutrition Bar<\/div>\n

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

<\/p>\n

\n\"Balance<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Balance Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat Nutrition Bar<\/div>\n

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

<\/p>\n

\n\"Balance<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Balance Dark Chocolate Pecan Turtle Nutrition Bar<\/div>\n

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

<\/p>\n

\n\"Balance<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Balance Chocolate Peppermint Patty Nutrition Bar<\/div>\n

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

I could use some nutrition bars. My diet recently has consisted of s’mores-flavored products and Tiny Toast cereal. (Spotted by Rachel T at Woodman’s Markets and Amanda Y at Walmart.)<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\"Annie's<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Annie’s Brownie, Baking, and Cookie Mixes<\/div>\n

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

I’ve gotten so used to Annie’s making stuff for me that it’s weird that I might have to make Annie’s products for myself. Maybe it’s just Annie’s looking out for me, making sure I eat organic and not be couch potato stuffing my face with Annie’s pre-made cookies. (Spotted by Blaire at Target.)<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\"Revolution<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Revolution Foods Granola Bundles (Peanut Butter, Chocolatey Chip, and Yogurty Berry)<\/div>\n

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

Chocolatey. Yogurty. But no peanut buttery. (Spotted by Carla at Safeway.)<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\"Welch's<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Welch’s Strawberry Banana and Apple Cinnamon Fruit Spreads<\/div>\n

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

My peanut butter and bread can’t wait. (Spotted by Vanessa B at Meijer.)<\/i><\/p>\n
