Celestial Seasonings Chocolate Caramel Herbal Tea

Celestial Seasonings Strawberry Champagne Black Tea

Red velvet tea exists. Wrap your head around that. Or just shake it with disapproval. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Sara Lee Seasonal Favorites Iced Carrot Cakes

Where’s the carrot cake warning on these? Isn’t there supposed to be a carrot drawn with icing to let everyone know it’s carrot cake? (Spotted by Ryan at WinCo Foods.)

Joose Margarita Spicy Mango

Some of you will drink this and not remember drinking it the following day. (Spotted by Evan at a Mobile Gas Station.)

Starbucks Iced Espresso Classics (Vanilla Latte and Caramel Macchiato)

It appears Starbucks is everywhere…in refrigerated grocery cases. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Mountain Dew Kickstart Hydrating Boost (Pineapple Orange Mango and Strawberry Kiwi)

Mountain Dew Kickstart Hydrating Boost (Pineapple Orange Mango and Strawberry Kiwi)

The original Mountain Dew Kickstart flavors are marketed as morning beverage alternatives. The other two Kickstart flavors are evening beverages. These new Mountain Dew Kickstart Hydrating Boost with coconut water are being promoted as anytime beverages. But I would highly recommend not drinking them before bedtime. (Spotted by Troy at Woodman’s Markets.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Trader Joe’s Fireworks Chocolate Bar

Trader Joe's Fireworks Chocolate Bar

Not the first chocolate bar with popping candy and heat. But it’s the first chocolate bar with popping candy and heat in a wrapper that makes you want to yell, “Get a room, you two!” (Spotted by Sylvia at Trader Joe’s.)

Russell Stover Big Bite (Hot Cocoa, Cappuccino, and House Blend Coffee)

When you’re looking at these in the store while standing in several layers of clothes to keep you warm. I want you to say in a sarcastic tone, “Thanks, Russell Stover!” (Spotted by Sarah at Walgreens.)

California Pizza Kitchen Limited Edition California Kale with Sausage Pizza

California Pizza Kitchen California Kale with Sausage on California Thin Crust. Oh, it doesn’t say that? Well it should. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Cascadian Farm To-Go Pouches (Oats and Honey and Fruit and Nut)

Are these pouches are big enough that I can pour milk into them and eat out of them? (Spotted by Nick at Target.)

Betty Crocker Mashed Potatoes & Chicken Gravy and Mashed Potatoes & Brown Gravy

I can understand not providing milk and butter because of refrigeration. But frickin’ salt? That’s a crock, Betty Crocker! Okay, not really. We all have salt in our kitchen, so it’s not an inconvenience. I just wanted to type, “That’s a crock, Betty Crocker!” (Spotted by Dan at Woodman’s Markets.)
