Here are some new products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. We may or may not review them, but we’d like to let you know what new items are popping up. We’ll also occasionally throw in an unusual product.
Do you remember when marshmallows came in only one flavor? You don’t? Well then, take your hop-hip music on your iTelephones and get off my lawn, you young whippersnappers! (Both spotted at Walmart. Thanks for the photos, Kayla and Kenneth!)
I’m not sure which restaurant’s menu Knorr was looking at for these two new flavors of their Pasta Sides Menu Flavors. My guess is either Chili’s, Applebee’s, T.G.I. Friday’s, or a made-up restaurant called Habernathy’s. (Spotted at Target. Thanks for the photo, Kenneth!)

Wait a minute? Putting cake on a stick is a thing? So I put the cake pop in my mouth, pull the stick out of it, and that’s it. I can’t suck on it. I can’t shave my head and pretend I’m Kojak. Sounds lame. Or maybe I’m old. Here’s a Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Pop Kit review. (Spotted at Target. Thanks for the photo, Richard!)
I don’t care about Guy Fieri sauces or Guy Fieri pizzas. The only product I would like to see with Guy Fieri’s face on it is Guy Fieri hair gel. And maybe a Guy Fieri hair bleaching kit. (Spotted at Safeway)
If you’re out shopping and see a new product on the shelf (or really unusual), snap a picture of it, send us an email (theimpulsivebuy@gmail.com) with where you found it and “Spotted” in the subject line, and you might see your picture in our next Spotted on Shelves post.
I don’t get the whole cake pop thing either. It seems like you’re paying twice as much as a box of cake mix in order to get maybe half of the actual content. But it’s on a stick! And it’s fun! No thanks.
Good marketing product by Pilsbury
The cake and brownie pops have been on shelves here for quite a while. I actually bought the cake variety, which were quite sweet but not very fun to make (you pretty much put frosting into the cake mix itself and then dump them in frosting again). Don’t think I’ll bother with them again.
Ok just throwing it out there…I have tried that Chipotle Rosa pasta and I did NOT enjoy it…the flavor was terribly disappointing. I did not detect any chipotle flavor at all..just what tasted like mac n cheese that had something slightly off about it
Hi there. Thanks so much for including a link to my review of the Pillsbury Cake Pops. To tell you the truth, my 6 year old daughter and her friends actually do try and lick the cake pop chocolate shell. It’s kinda funny to watch them.
