Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers.
Golden Grain is trying to be as sneaky as the cafeteria ladies who snuck a serving of vegetables into my school lunches or as sneaky as the swap meet vendor who says the $100 Coach bag they’re selling is authentic. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)
I wish these Keebler Filled Pretzel Bites were filled with elf magic..or gold. Because with the elf magic I would’ve made gold. (Spotted by Stephen at Giant.)
I don’t have a marketing degree, but I think Flavor Doubles is a boring name. Perhaps Snyder’s of Hanover should’ve named it Awesome Two Tastes Happy Happy Mouth Time. Once again, I do not have a marketing degree. (Spotted by Leah at Wegmans.)
Which is more effective? Mr. Peanut pushing Planters NUTrition Sustaining Energy Mix or a douchebag promoting 5 Hour Energy. Sorry, Mr. Peanut, I think the douchebag wins because to defeat the douchebag, I must be the douchbag. (Spotted by Charmi at Target.)
