Category: Spotted on Shelves

Here are some new products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. We may or may not review them, but we’d like to let you know what new items are popping up. We’ll also occasionally throw in an unusual product.

We don’t have Herr’s snacks here on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but I hear they’re really good at replicating junk food flavors in their junk food. If only these Herr’s Deep Dish Pizza Flavored Cheese Curls could imitate the messiness of a deep dish pizza, forcing me to eat them with a fork. Dave’s Cupboard reviewed these cheese curls. (Thanks for the photos, Adam!)

Betty Crocker has a new Fun Da-Middles flavor for me to not bake. (Thanks for the photos, Kenneth!)

Ugh. Enough with the provolone. It’s in our sandwiches and lasagnas. And it’s on top of our pizzas and salads. I’m getting sick of seeing provolone everywhere. Let’s stop with our fascination with provolone. (Thanks for the photos, Lauren!)

I’ll bet you a box of Pop-Tarts that these new Confetti Cupcake Pop-Tarts taste exactly like these Confetti Cake Pop-Tarts.

Maybe it’s just me, but Duraflex really sounds more like a condom feature than a spray-on sunscreen feature.

If you’re out shopping and see a new product on the shelf (or really unusual), snap a picture of it, email it to us at theimpulsivebuy@gmail.com with “Spotted” in the subject line, and you might see it in our next Spotted on Shelves post.

It’s another holiday themed Spotted on Shelves this week. Here are some pumpkin-y (new and old) products found on store shelves. We may or may not review them, but we’d like to let you know what items are popping up.

The more pumpkin spice product photos we post this year means less pumpkin spice product photos we’ll post next year. And I think we’ve featured a lot of them. Just kidding. I really believe we’ve only covered a fraction of the pumpkin spice products available. There are probably over a dozen pumpkin spice cookies alone. (Tualumba for the photo, Kenneth!)

Hey! Do you know what would be awesome to dunk those pumpkin spice cookies into? Yup, some old fashioned pumpkin spice egg nog. (Mauruuru for the photo, Andrew!)

Those ScaryCakes don’t look so scary. Oh wait, I haven’t read the nutrition facts yet. (Dhanyavadalu for the pics, Mike!)

Great for Trick or Treating? More like a great way for kids to know which candy-less house to avoid next year. (Merci for the picture, Mike!)

I think Kellogg’s should retire their Spookylicious Frosted Chocolate Fudge Pop-Tarts and replace it with Eerielicious Frosted Chocolate Fudge Pop-Tarts. (Tashakor for the photo, Mike!)

According to the USA Today, Red Bull is planning to launch three new flavors in the U.S. sometime in March 2013.

The new Red Bull flavors come in three editions — Red (Cranberry), Silver (Lime), and Blue (Blueberry). Of course, this opens the door for Red Bull to release new editions in any CMYK color they choose. Beverage Digest posted a photo of a banner showing the new additions.

Red Bull Editions have already been available in select European markets and in Australia. Energy Drink Heaven reviewed all three varieties earlier this year.

Jelly Belly, the company that makes jelly beans in flavors that your heart does and doesn’t desire, has teamed up with Tabasco to produce sweet and spicy jelly beans.

The new jelly bean flavor uses genuine Tabasco seasoning, giving them the flavor and kick Tabasco lovers will enjoy. It will also give those who get off on eating Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans a new weird flavor to try.

Jelly Belly’s Tabasco Jelly Belly beans are currently available in bulk, in case you wanted to burn your mouth for hours by chain eating them. A webpage to order 3.1-ounce bags is up on the company’s online store, but according to the Drugstore News story, Jelly Belly won’t release the Tabasco flavor in the smaller bags until December.

Do you think Tabasco-flavored jelly beans are weird? Let us know in the comments.

I predict the limited time only Cheetos Puffs Smoked Cheddar will be popular among the cannabis crowd because I imagine they will get a kick out of a product that contains the words “puffs” and “smoked.” That makes me giggle a little bit, and I’m not high.

Cheetos Puffs Smoked Cheddar features the usual cheesy flavor with a smoky twist. The new snack has some tie in with the upcoming release of the Just Dance 4 video game. They’re available now in 9-ounce bags for a suggested retail price of $3.49.

Yum Sugar has a review.

If you’ve tried Cheetos Puffs Smoked Cheddar, let us know what you think of them in the comments. If my words have somehow made you yearn for the new Cheetos variety, use Frito-Lay’s product finder to help you get some.
