Category: Spotted on Shelves

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.

These nuts gave me a great idea for David’s pumpkin seeds — Pumpkin Spice Pumpkin Seeds. You’re welcome, David Seeds! (Thanks for the photo, Adam!)

If Pepperidge Farm has Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Apple bread, I wonder if they also have Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Apple cookies. (Thanks for the photos, Adam and Nadirah!)

Why yes, they do have Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Apple cookies. (Thanks for the photo, Richard and Kenneth!)

America can run on festive-flavored coffee. (Thanks for the photo, Kenneth!)

We’ve already reviewed the awesome Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts, which I’ve purchased every year since they’ve been available. I have yet to try Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Pop-Tarts, but I’m glad they don’t have creepy pictures on them like Gingerbread Pop-Tarts. (Thanks for the photo, Kenneth!

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.

Yoplait, the most popular yogurt company that ends with a silent T, has recently come out with a new line of frozen yogurt pints and bars.

This isn’t the first time Yoplait has entered the frozen yogurt market. In 2006, they released several frozen yogurt cereal bars, which I don’t remember.

Yoplait’s new frozen yogurt line is being produced by the same company that makes Blue Bunny ice cream. Yoplait Original Frozen Yogurt Pints come in seven flavors: Cherry Orchard, Peach, Mixed Berry, Mountain Berry, Strawberry, Strawberry Banana, and Vanilla. Yoplait Original Frozen Yogurt Bars come in Harvest Peach and Strawberry Banana.

Oh, but that’s not all, live and active culture lovers.

They’ve also got Greek Frozen Yogurt Pints, which come in Black Cherry, Blueberry, Honey Caramel, Peach, Raspberry Fig, Strawberry, and Vanilla. And there are two Yoplait Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars — Honey Caramel and Raspberry.

Our friends at On Second Scoop reviewed the Original Strawberry and Greek Strawberry pints.

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.

Ben & Jerry’s Key Lime Pie ice cream is back, baby! Let’s celebrate with cake…and only cake. It’s a limited batch, so I suggest you buy a second freezer and fill it with nothing but pints of it. That should last you until it comes back again. You can read Ben & Jerry’s Key Lime Pie ice cream reviews here, here, here, here, and here.

There’s microwaveable mac and cheese in a cup so it makes sense to have microwaveable mashed potatoes in a cup. I could’ve sworn Stove Top made microwaveable stuffing in a cup, but, now that I think about it, I could’ve dreamt about that during my post-Thankgiving nap. Too bad because it would’ve completed the side dish trifecta.

Speaking of mac and cheese, I didn’t know Betty Crocker made mac and cheese. I wonder if it’s as radioactive orange as Kraft mac and cheese. Betty Crocker Mac and Cheese comes in three cheesy varieties: original, grilled cheese, and cheese pizza. (Thanks for the photo, Jada!)

Hormel, you are the king of microwaveable shelf-stable products. You have your Compleats, SPAM meals, and your new Sandwich Makers, which is available in Meatballs in Marinara Sauce, Chicken with Barbecue Sauce, and Seasoned Pork with Barbecue Sauce. Wait…no SPAM in barbecue sauce, Hormel? I know you have the technology and trademarks to make that happen, so make it happen. (Thanks for the photos, ED Junkie and Andrew!)

What the hell, Canada!? You folks have ketchup chips AND these Sour Cream ‘N Bacon Ruffles. It’s not fair. Not fair at all. (Thanks for the photo, Jonas!)

Soup is soooo uncool.

Well, I don’t think so, but it appears that’s what Campbell’s thinks and it’s trying to change that with a new line of soups marketed to Millenials. The new soups are called Campbell’s Go and feature ingredients with fun names to say, like chorizo, quinoa, madras, gouda, poblano, and shiitake.

The soup doesn’t come in an old fogey can, because that would be uncool. Instead it comes in a microwaveable pouch. So if you’re feeling particularly lazy, which is what Millenials have sometimes been called, you can eat it straight out of the pouch. Or you could heat it up on the stove like your grandma. Or you could heat it up like your great great great grandma did and do it over a fire.

Campbell’s Go Soup comes in six fancy pancy flavors:

Moroccan Style Chicken with Chickpeas – spicy chicken and whole chickpeas with vine-ripe tomatoes. An 8-ounce serving has 160 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 790 milligrams of sodium, 6 grams of fiber, and 13 grams of protein.

Golden Lentil with Madras Curry – golden lentils, tomatoes, and savory spinach with spicy madras curry. A serving has 160 calories, 7 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 770 milligrams of sodium, 5 grams of fiber, and 4 grams of protein.

Creamy Red Pepper with Smoked Gouda – Tomatoes and sweet, roasted red peppers with smokey gouda cheese. An 8-ounce serving has 220 calories, 15 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 780 milligrams of sodium, 2 grams of fiber, and 6 grams of protein.

Coconut Curry with Chicken & Shiitake Mushrooms – Chicken in a coconut curry broth with shiitake mushroom slices. A serving has 160 calories, 6 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 830 milligrams of sodium, 2 grams of fiber, and 9 grams of protein.

Chicken & Quinoa with Poblano Chilies – Chicken chunks and quinoa with poblano chilies. It has 160 calories 2 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 790 milligrams of sodium, 5 grams of fiber, and 12 grams of protein.

It’s another holiday themed Spotted on Shelves this week. Here are some festive (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. All of these photos come courtesy of TIB reader Kenneth. Thank you, Kenneth!

When the Halloween season is near, always expect General Mills monster cereals to appear. See Franken Berry, Boo Berry, and Count Chocula with their marshmallow pieces. But don’t buy them before Halloween, wait until after when their prices dramatically decreases.

Betty Crocker offers Boo Berry and Franken Berry Fruit Roll-Ups treats, but that Count Chocula cereal bar is something I’d rather eat.

Eggo Seasons Pumpkin Spice Waffles are back! We gave them a positive review last year. To be honest, I was hoping Kellogg’s would come out with a new Limited Edition Eggo variety for the holiday season. I guess there’s a chance they’ll release something for Christmas.

I guess imitation pumpkin pie-flavored vodka is a festive way to turn a Thanksgiving dinner dysfunctional. Also, with this vodka it’s now possible for me to get drunk from pumpkin pie-flavored vodka and then pass out with my face landing into a pumpkin pie. That would make an awesome Facebook photo.
