SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 5/12/2014

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.

Planters calls peanuts, raisins, almonds, yogurt covered raisins, chocolate, and cranberries, “Sweet Spring Mix.” But I’m pretty sure another product in the same aisle calls it, “Trail Mix.” (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Old Bay seasoning on popcorn and cheese puffs? It could be worse? It could be Old Spice seasoned popcorn and cheese puffs. (Spotted by Erin at Giant.)

Doesn’t Hamburger Helper realize a firehouse is where firefighters and fire trucks reside, and their jobs are to put out fires? So putting “firehouse” in the name for a spicy product is probably not the best idea. House on Fire Chili Macaroni? That makes more sense. (Spotted by Alex at Walmart.)

Pillsbury Toaster Strudels are better tasting than Pop-Tarts (yeah, I said it), but Pop-Tarts have more intriguing limited edition flavors (yeah, I said it). (Spotted by Troy A at Woodmans.)
