Ben & Jerry's Rockin' Blondies and Peanut Butter Jam Session

Target has two new exclusive flavors with music-themed names: Rockin’ Blondies and Peanut Butter Jam Session. I’m disappointed there isn’t a third musical flavor called I-Raisin Reggae Big Up. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Dole BBQ Ranch Chopped! Salad Kit

Dole Chipotle & Cheddar Chopped Salad Kit

Dole Asian Blend and Bacon & Bleu Chopped! Salad Kit

I figure the Spotted posts should be like my actual diet and include salad once in a while. (Spotted by Sylvia at Ralph’s.)

Lindt Hello My Name Is Chocolate Sticks

If you think about it, Berry Affair and Coconut Love could also be stripper names. (Spotted by Sylvia at Target.)

Jello Butterscotch and Banana Split Pudding Snacks

Brach's Pumpkin Spice Candy Corn

Pumpkin spice-flavored candy corn? That’s so crazy. The only thing that could be crazier than that is if Charms decided to put a candy corn into one of their Blow Pops. (Spotted by Meredith at Walgreens.)

Pop-Secret Sweet 'n Crunchy

If you ever go to prison, might I suggest you call yourself Sweet ‘n Crunchy, and explain your name like this, “If you’re nice to me, I’ll be sweet to you, but if you cross me, I’ll crunch all the bones in your face.” (Spotted by Julia at Giant Eagle.)

Special K Maple Brown Sugar Crunch Nourish Cereal

Edy's Limited Edition 3 Stripes You're Out

Dreyer’s/Edy’s have a football-related flavor, Touchdown Sundae, and they have this baseball-related 3 Stripes You’re Out. Is there a basketball flavor called Caramally Scoop or a peanut butter NASCAR flavor called Nuttin’ But Left Turns. (Spotted by Stefanie at Target.)

TGI Friday's Chicken Parmesan Chicken Sliders

TGI Friday's Loaded Fries and Nacho Toppers

TGI Friday's Dill Pickle Chips

The folks who make T.G.I. Friday’s frozen appetizers should team up with a toy company and create a play kit that comes with T.G.I. Friday’s uniforms and coupons for free T.G.I. Friday’s frozen appetizers so kids can play T.G.I. Friday’s instead of hide-and-seek. (Spotted by Richard at Walmart.)

I didn’t know cottage cheese has been complicated all this time. (Spotted by Melissa at Walmart.)

Ghiradelli Mint Cookie and Toffee Crunch

Seriously, Ghiradelli? You’ve been making chocolate bars for years and only now you’ve come out with a Mint Cookie and Toffee Crunch. Also, seriously, Marvo? You’ve seen the word Ghiradelli for years, so how can you forget the second R in their name? (Spotted by Lauren at Target.)

Last week, we covered these new El Monterey products, and this week we’re covering their steak taquitos. It looks like El Monterey wants to be El Capitán of the frozen Mexican food sea. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)
