Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. If you’ve tried any of the products, share your thoughts about them in the comments.

International Delight Vanilla Heat Creamer

Vanilla Heat sounds like a 1990s cop show set in Miami and starring Vanilla Ice, which would’ve been canceled after two episode because it starred Vanilla Ice. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Nestle Coffee-mate Spiced Latte Creamer

Coffee-Mate Pumpkin Spice isn’t so special anymore. It’s no longer the only spice creamer in the Coffee-Mate family. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Wonka Sweetarts Gummies

Wonka Sweettarts Gummies aren’t new, but putting them in a bigger resealable bag so you can chaineat your way through it is. (Spotted by Melissa at Walmart.)

Kellogg's Eggo Drizzlers Chocolate Icing

Bah! Back in my day, we didn’t need no fancy pouches to add chocolate icing to our waffles. We’d just grab a bottle of Hershey’s syrup and go to town. Our waffles looked like the Quik Bunny threw up on them. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Yoplait Light Pumpkin Pie Yogurt

And this is one of my least favorite pumpkin pie-flavored products. Thank goodness I don’t need to eat pumpkin pie-flavored light yogurt in order to live. (Spotted by Ryan at Target.)

International Delight Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer

Maybe pouring some International Delight Pumpkin Pie Spice creamer into the yogurt would help. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

Nestle Pumpkin Spice and Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Creamer

Or perhaps some Nestle Coffee-mate Pumpkin Spice creamer. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

QUICK REVIEW: Kellogg’s Eggo Drizzlers Vanilla Icing Waffles

Kellogg's Eggo Vanilla Icing Drizzlers

Purchased Price: $3.19
Size: 6 waffles/box
Purchased at: Publix
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Waffles toast up crispy. Icing akin to cinnamon roll icing. 10 vitamins and minerals. Excellent for making breakfast sausage sandwiches. Excellent for making ice cream sandwiches. Fulfills lifelong goal to draw on a waffle. Filling in the waffle nooks reminds me of Tetris.
Cons: Homestyle waffle base is pretty bland on its own. Only 3 icing packs for 6 waffles. Must sustain patience for the icing to defrost. Must sustain patience for waffles to toast. Realizing I have no patience.

QUICK REVIEW: Pillsbury Heat-N-Go! Blueberry Mini Pancakes

Pillsbury Heat-N-Go! Blueberry Mini Pancakes

Purchased Price: $1.49
Size:
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 5 out of 10
Pros: Comes in a microwaveable pouch. Can be eaten straight out of the pouch with your hands. Frozen to ready in 75 seconds. Fluffy-ish 2-inch pancakes make Bisquick pancakes seem awesome. Can be found for a dollar or less. Getting some sausage patties and making breakfast sliders with these mini pancakes.
Cons: Blueberry flavor is too light. Not sweet enough for my tastes. If you send your child out into the world with only this as their breakfast, they’ll probably get hungry within an hour after finishing it. Having to wake up for school. Being woken up by a finger poking your belly button, making you giggle.

Jimmy Dean Delights Honey Wheat Flatbread Bacon, Egg, & Cheese

Do my eyes deceive me or is that a round piece of bacon? (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Pepperidge Farm Dulce de Leche Milano

With all the Milano varieties, it makes me think Pepperidge Farm actually grows a crop of something — Milano trees. (Spotted by Lauren at Walmart.)

Kraft Philadelphia Spicy Jalapeno

Oh, how I wish these came in a non-spreadable block form so I could attempt to make spicy jalapeño cheesecake. (Spotted by Richard at Target.)

Crunchtables 2

Crunchtables 1

They aren’t a Crunchtables variety, but I have a feeling not even being breaded and deep fried can help brussels sprouts. (Spotted by Richard at Walmart.)
