Market Pantry Cinema Snack Ice Cream

I’m a little hesitant about the “popcorn flavored ice cream,” but not hesitant at all about the fudge-covered potato chips. (Spotted by Andy at SuperTarget.)

Betty Crocker Donut Cookies Cookie Mix and Glazed Donut Frosting

Donut Cookies? Betty Crocker should take a page out of the portmanteau playbook and call them Dookies. Oh wait. (Spotted by Melissa at Kroger.)

Blue Bunny Cadbury Caramello Bars

The Blue Bunny website says this is a new product, so I will believe them. But I’ve never seen a blue bunny before, so should I really trust them. (Spotted by L at Mariano’s.)

Wegmans Nutter Batter Ice Cream

Is Wegmans Nutter Batter going to be a grand slam? Or is it going to be a hard grounder hit by a slow runner to the third baseman with no outs and men on first and second, perhaps causing a triple play. (Spotted by Maria at Wegmans.)

Steak 'n Shake Milkshakes

Waiting in line for Steak ‘n Shake Milkshakes? Now you can also wait for these Steak ‘n Shake Milkshakes to show up in your freezer aisle. (Spotted by L at Mariano’s.)

Kraft Nacho Supreme Macaroni & Cheese Cup

Why do I feel compelled to buy this, prepare it, and top it with crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos? (Spotted by Erin at Giant.)

IttiBitz Cotton Candy and Birthday Cake Ice Cream Sandwiches

I guess an ice cream sandwich with nothing but IttiBitz in the middle would be hard to eat. (Spotted by Jamie at Hornbacher’s.)

Prego Merlot Marinara, Sundried Tomato, and Florentine Spinach Italian Sauces

Look! More pasta sauces that pretty much all look alike. Even though I think Duncan Hines’ different colored velvet cake mixes are silly, there’s a part of me that wishes for a blue pasta sauce. (Spotted by Jamie at Hornbacher’s.)
