So is the pouch of pecan and coconut the only difference between this and the pouch-less Duncan Hines’ Signature German Chocolate Cake Mix? (Spotted by Nick at Walmart.)

Project 7 Sour Caramel Apple Gourmet Gum

I don’t care if it’s gourmet. It better not end up under my shoes or under the school desk I’m sitting at. (Spotted by Lindsay at Meijer.)

Wait. Only now Taipei has Szechuan Beef? I thought they always had Szechuan Beef. (Spotted by Nick at Walmart.)

  1. It’s a humbling moment when you realize German Chocolate Cake isn’t actually from Germany. I don’t think they grow coconuts there. Unless… maybe they migrate?

    1. Nah, it’s named for Sam German, who developed the dark chocolate for Baker’s Chocolate Company.

  2. I tried Project 7 Birthday Cake Gum and it was one of the worst tasting gums ever! Lack of cake flavor was more of fake crappy frosting and flavor faded fast.

  4. The Carmel Apple gum is good…for about 3 seconds. Then the flavor disappears. Also it’s really hard gum…thought i was going to rip out a filling.

    1. I agree! I haven’t tried the caramel apple flavor. The project 7 gum becomes hard and it was like chewing rubber. Not a good idea. They need to reformulate it.

  5. I recently purchased the Chocolate Bourbon Pecan cupcake mix on clearance at Target. Don’t waste your money !! It tastes like burnt dark chocolate. I was totally disappointed. It’s not even worth the clearance price.

    🙁

  6. I impulsively bought the Archer Farms Chocolate Burbon cupcakes on clearance and I wish I had bought more ! I put off making them because there were 3 separate mixes (cupcakes, cream cheese frosting & Burbon glaze) but it was eaiser then I thought! They were unbelievably rich, chocolatey & delicious!
