It’s not Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte, but if you squint at the Califia Farms logo and slowly pull your head away from your screen, at a certain point it kind of looks like the Starbucks siren. (Spotted by Mabelle at Safeway.)
Obligatory monthly new Entenmann’s product photo. (Spotted by Greg at Giant.)
We’ve covered the pumpkin spice one before, but in the back of my mind I feel as if I’ve seen the caramel one before. I did a Google search for it, but came up empty. Am I imagining Philadelphia Cream Cheese flavors? (Spotted by Jamie at Hornbachers.)
Wait. What? Guinness that’s not dark, thick, and Irish? Am I on Bizzaro Earth? (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)
Why didn’t Banquet call it a Salisbury Steak Pot Pie? Although, I do have to admit that calling it a “Deep Dish” makes it sound slightly fancier than everything else Banquet offers. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

The “Salisbury steak” pie is made from chicken, beef, and pork. (SHUDDERS!)
They need to throw in some turkey and mutton so they have the entire meat category included.
We tried the Caramel cream cheese; it looked like peanut butter, tasted like slightly browned sugar (but not quite caramel), and hardly at all like cream cheese.
Why doesn’t the Salisbury Steak Pot Pie have pumpkin in it??
One reason the caramel may look familiar is that Market Pantry did a salted-caramel cream-cheese-product spread about a year ago, and you did run that one (thank you! yay!). Philadelphia had missed that particular boat at the time.
There was a Dulche De Leche cream cheese as part of the Philadelphia Indulgence line a while ago.
Should be a pumpkin steak pie.
