I’m thinking too hard about size perception as I look at Ernie Keebler and the strawberry in his hand. So let’s say that berry in his hand is one inch tall. So that makes him about four inches tall. Hello Kitty is five apples tall. So let’s say an apple is about 2.5 inches. So Hello Kitty is around 12.5 inches tall. That makes Ernie one-third the size of Hello Kitty. Also, let’s say that reading this paragraph takes about 30 seconds. So that means I’ve taken 30 seconds of your time that you’ll never get back. I’m sorry. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)

I never thought Smucker’s Uncrustables would offer savory products. I kept hoping and hoping that Pop-Tarts would offer savory versions, and maybe that blinded me from seeing that this could be a possibility. Also, don’t these remind you of Hot Pockets SideShots? (Spotted by Ann at Target.)

I wonder if the folks who complained about Ben & Jerry’s Clusterfluff’s name are going to complain about this flavor’s name. They probably will because, you know, sometimes chip happens. (Spotted by Sean S at Target.)

As mentioned in our Coming Soon post about these, there’s also a Vanilla creme variety. Of course, any sane person would buy all three varieties scrape off the cream of two of them and then add them to the third one. (Spotted by Rachel C at Walmart.)
