SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 2/4/2013

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers.

“No syrup needed!” I am not going to let a frozen food box tell me when syrup is needed or not needed. I am an adult. I am old enough to make my own choices. I am going to smother these Limited Edition Chocolatey Chocolate Chip Eggo Wafflers with Hershey’s syrup. I am also going to go into a sugar coma after, but again, I am an adult who made that horrible choice. (Spotted by Tracy at Target.)

If marshmallows are what it take to make a Kellogg’s “limited edition” cereal, then I look forward to Limited Edition Cocoa Puffs with Marshmallows, Limited Edition Frosted Flakes with Marshmallows, Limited Edition Corn Pops with Marshmallows, and Product 19 with Marshmallows. (Spotted by Cortney at Shoppers Food Warehouse.)

When Special K Pastry Crisps started popping up on shelves, we reviewed a few of the original flavors. Pastry Crisps can’t be put in a toaster, but I think of them as adult Pop-Tarts. Also, you’ll have to eat four of them to get roughly the same amount of calories, fat, and sugar as one Pop-Tart. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

I’m not so sure what’s so screamin’ about Yoplait’s Go-Gurt Twisted Screamin’ Green Apple. Does the screaming happen after I tell children they ate something healthy or after I tell them they’re eating green alien blood and red alien intestine? I’m going to be an awesome parent someday!
