NEWS: Limited Edition Extra Dessert Delights Rainbow Sherbet All The Way!

Update: Click here to read our Limited Edition Extra Dessert Delights Rainbow Sherbet review

Every time there’s a new Extra Dessert Delights gum release, I like to break out my crystal ball and try to guess which dessert Extra will copy next. So far I’m 0-for-3, thanks to my crystal ball telling me creme brûlée all three times instead of Orange Creme Pop, Apple Pie, or the new Limited Edition Extra Dessert Delights Rainbow Sherbet.

According to Extra Gum, this limited edition variety is supposed to capture the flavors of orange, lemon, and lime into one gum. Unfortunately, a stick of Extra Dessert Delights Rainbow Sherbet doesn’t come in orange, yellow, and green, it’s just colored pink. You can read a review of it at Gum Connoisseur.

So what’s going to be the next Extra Dessert Delights flavor? Let’s look into my crystal ball. I see…I see…I see…creme brûlée.

Oh wait, I already know Root Beer Float is next.

Damn, this crystal ball sucks.

Where he at. Where he at. Where he at. Where he at.

There he go. There he go. There he go. There he go.

Quaker Life Crunch, Quaker Life Crunch, Quaker Life Crunch, Quaker Life Crunch.

Do the Quaker Life Crunch, Quaker Life Crunch, Quaker Life Crunch with milk that’s non-fat.

Do the Quaker Life Crunch, Quaker Life Crunch, Quaker Life Crunch with milk that’s non-fat.

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Peanut Butter Jelly Time was the first thing that popped into my head after learning about the new multigrain Quaker Life Crunchtime cereal, which isn’t like your normal square Life cereal. They look like spinning car rims or deformed smiley faces and come in two varieties: Strawberry and Apple Cinnamon. Both flavors don’t contain real fruit, are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, and it’s unknown whether Mikey likes them.

A 3/4 cup serving of Life Crunchtime has 110 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0.5 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 0.5 grams of monounsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 90 milligrams of sodium, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 6-7 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.

NEWS: Wrigley’s 5 RPM Gum…Yep, More Wrigley’s 5 Gum Flavors Coming Out of Wrigley’s Birth Canal

Tachometer

A wise white man with lines in his head was once asked, “Will it ever stop?” The wise white man replied, “Yo, I don’t know.” And that is the same answer Wrigley would probably give if they were asked when their Wrigley’s 5 line would come to an end. It’s not stopping this year, because they recently released their new Wrigley’s 5 RPM gum.

What does RPM stand for? If you don’t own a record player or don’t look at the tachometer in your car’s dashboard, it’s revolutions per minute. But since Wrigley’s 5 is supposed to be the “cool” gum, the marketing folks at Wrigley probably gave a different cool meaning for RPM, like Really Punk MMMMM.

Just like with Wrigley’s 5 React offshoot, Wrigley’s 5 RPM comes in two flavors: fruit and mint. Actually, to be more accurate, it’s “an energizing fruit flavor” and “a relaxing mint flavor.”

Wrigley’s 5 RPM gum is appearing in stores now and just like all 5 gum flavors they’ll come in stylish black packs with 15 sticks per pack.


NEWS: I Hope Ben & Jerry’s Limited Batch Rocky Road-ish Is Delicious-ish and Creamy-ish

Rocky Road on Round Knob

Update: Click here to read our Rocky Road-ish review

With flavors like Karamel Sutra and Schweddy Balls, I thought Ben & Jerry’s new Limited Batch Rocky Road-ish honored pornstar Rocki Roads, but it does not. Not only does it not honor Ms. Roads, it also doesn’t have any chocolate ice cream, hence the name Rocky Road-ish.

Instead of chocolate ice cream, which is standard for the rocky road flavor, the limited edition ice cream is made up of toasted marshmallow ice cream with a toasted marshmallow swirl and fudge covered almonds. With that much marshmallow I’m surprised the creative folk at Ben & Jerry’s, who love pop culture references, didn’t call this ice cream Stay Nutt Marshmallow Man.

On Second Scoop has a review of the new flavor.

A 1/2 cup serving has 250 calories, 12 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 50 milligrams of cholesterol, 55 milligrams of sodium, 32 grams of carbohydrates, 24 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.

NEWS: Put On Your Leg Warmers to Celebrate the Return of Sour Cream and Onion Doritos and Salsa Rio Doritos

Limited Edition Doritos on shelf

Update: Click here to read our Limited Edition Doritos (Sour Cream and Onion & Salsa Rio) review

Do you remember the 1980s?

Don’t remember the 1980s because your parents hadn’t met until the 1990s? Well, back then we had Sour Cream and Onion Doritos and Salsa Rio Doritos. I didn’t get to try those flavors because my parents bought generic chips in black and white packages, which is also something you young whippersnappers don’t remember.

Thankfully, Frito-Lay has brought back Sour Cream and Onion Doritos and Salsa Rio Doritos for a limited time. Option Pitch and Waffle Crisp has a review of both flavors, while Junk Food Guy reviewed Salsa Rio Doritos.

I look forward to eating these chips while wearing a Members Only jacket and listening to Duran Duran on a record player.

If you’ve tried them, let us know what you think and where you found them in the comments.
