Seriously? There are now limited edition labels for canned goods. I look forward to limited edition labels for all of Del Monte vegetables. (Spotted by Robbie at Target.)
If I got to name generic versions of popular cereals, I’d use names like Sugar Flakes, Peanut Butter Round Things, Colorful Rings, and Bee Vomit Nut Rings. (Spotted by Robbie at Target.)
I think a ginger snap would be a way better snack than ginger snap tortilla chips. (Spotted by Amanda at Sprouts.)
This would go great with one of the many Simply Balanced Tortilla Chips…or Tostitos, if they’re cheaper. (Spotted by Blaire at Target.)
For some reason, after putting together this post, I had a strong urge to go to Target. (Spotted by Amanda at Target.)

Ooh, I want the gingerbread snaps!
Where are the can ridges on the cranberry sauce? You know, when you dump it out onto a plate (with a big splat!), the cranberry ‘slab’ has the ridges from the can embedded in it. That’s what made it festive!
The ginger snaps tortilla chips might be quite good. I’ve had crackers based on corn and anything goes well with them. So sugar and spices should work on plain corn chips.
I’m going to buy up all the limited edition cranberries and re-sell them for $$$$ on Ebay
I’m sorry… Not really liken the taste of hummus. Our anything like that. Perhaps their is an market for that people would eat it. I just wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
I must be wayyyy more tired than I realized, because reading Bee Vomit Nut Rings had me snorting and laughing hysterically, for about five minutes. I think I’ve permanently traumatized my kids and cats.
