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.
Trader Joe’s Sweet, Hot & Savory Honey Roasted Cocoa & Chili Peanuts & Almonds with Roasted Salted Pecans…ugh, my fingers are tired from typing that. (Spotted by Sylvia at Trader Joe’s.)
I’m no graphic designer, but shouldn’t “pumpkin spice” be a bit more prominent? Unless, Seattle Chocolates don’t want to sell more of these. (Spotted by Sylvia at World Market.)
I just Googled “gold cut oatmeal” thinking there was some fancy overpriced oatmeal. There wasn’t any. (Spotted by Lindsay A at Walmart.)
Come on, Foster Farms! I’m lazy. If you had time to marinate them, you had time to cook them for me. (Spotted by Carla at Fred Meyer.)
Soooo watered down juice? (Spotted by Debra at Walmart.)
I wish Hostess came up with as many products as Entenmann’s because I’d like them to come up with more funny and naughty-sounding product names. Perhaps Long Slongs? (Spotted by Debra at Stop & Shop.)

Isn’t gold kind of soft? A gold knife might look impressive, but steel probably slices up those little whole oat grains better…. Just sayin’. Not that it wasn’t an interesting idea, considering today’s prices.
A fellow with celiac who was very sensitive to tiny amounts of gluten said he could eat oats if he bought them as the whole grain, spread them out, and picked out any stray wheat grains (often the fields are close to each other). I think he just cooked them whole, like rice, rather than splitting them as in steel cut oats.
