Are they cups or are they eggs? Choose one, Nestle! Reese’s did. (Spotted by Rachel C at Macey’s.)
Walmart and Target get exclusive Ben & Jerry’s and Oreo flavors. Kroger gets exclusive Yoplait yogurt flavors. Yay Kroger! (Spotted by Lindsay A at Kroger.)
Some bakers get Disney and Pixar movie characters on their packaging. Entenmann’s gets Alvin and the Chipmunks. Yay Entenmann’s! (Spotted by David M at Walmart.)
I want to proclaim a flavor of the year. The Impulsive Buy’s Flavor of the Year for 2016 is Chocolate Sriracha Bacon. (Spotted by Jarred at Publix.)
Poor lighthouse. It’s getting pounded. Did it make the sirens angry? (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)
We already covered the Carolina and Memphis ones, but it turns out there are four and they’re all available in this collection. (Spotted by Greg at Walmart.)

Blueberry Lemon as ‘flavor of the year’? Seriously? Not in a million years would I have ever thought that, especially in a bagel. Those marketing folks at Thomas’s must be smoking something.
Well they taste amazing so they did something right.
Ew, why use animals whose faeces so clearly resemble chocolate chips to market a chocolate chip product?
Look closer at the box, it is a movie tie in. As for Chipmunk poo, never even crossed MY mind.
Oh, I totally got that it’s a movie tie-in. I dunno, the fact that it’s called “chocolate chip-munk” made me think rodent poop straight away. But I had a rabbit as a kid, so I’ve seen my fair share of rodent droppings.
They butterfinger has to use the word “cups” so you know what the inside is like, I have bought their products before (seasonal) thinking the inside was going to be like the cups and it’s not it’s the hard inside the (original) so bravo to them to stating so.. As for the “pick one Reese’s did comment” Reese’s doesn’t have multiple “insides” so it doesn’t need to be stated. And boom.
This is Greg, who sent you the picture of the BBQ sauce sampler. I was actually quite impressed with those sauces, especially since it was made by Heinz. I have a TON of BBQ sauces and I was actually shocked at how good some of them were. My two faves are the Carolina and the Texas styles.
