I look forward to a future when we break through the triple chocolate barrier. But we should not set our sights for just quadruple or quintuple chocolate products. To stay ahead of the Russians, we must develop octuple or nonuple chocolate products. It’s going to take our nation’s best food scientists to reach this goal. But I’m confident, no, make that chocodent, that it is within our reach. (Spotted by Rachel C at Harmons.)
Thank you to all the photo contributors! If you’re out shopping and see an interesting new product on the shelf, snap a picture of it, and send us an email (theimpulsivebuy@gmail.com) with where you found it and “Spotted” in the subject line. Or reply to us (@theimpulsivebuy) on Twitter with the photo, where you spotted it, and the hashtag #spotted. If you do so, you might see your picture in our next Spotted on Shelves post.
Also, if you want to send in photos and are wondering if we’ve already covered something or if the product is old, don’t worry about it. Let us worry about it.
I’m looking forward to the release of Magnum nonuple chocolate pints, which will cause a huge amount of excitement upon release but inevitably lead to a backlash in which a certain percentage of the snackfooduniverse will claim it was all a hoax and we never even broke the seven-chocolate level.
