It’s been a creative year for DiGiorno — Eggs Benedict, Cinnamon Roll, and fully stuffed crust pizzas. Yes, this seems tame compared to the others, but I’d like to see more of these regional recipes from DiGiorno. (Spotted by Matt S at Hy-Vee.)

SPOTTED: Kellogg’s The Elf on the Shelf North Pole Snow Creme Cereal with Marshmallows Cereal
The magical cooling sensation this cereal offers might freak out some folks. Although, I’m pretty sure it’s not as freaky as a toy elf on a shelf watching you with those eyes. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)
REVIEW: Taco Bell Cherry Bliss Freeze
What is it?
Taco Bell’s new Cherry Bliss Freeze is for the kind of people who steal all the red Jolly Ranchers out of the bag. You know who you are.
How is it?
As big a sugar fiend as I am, I’m not a huge consumer of sugary drinks. I don’t dislike them, but my reasoning is that if I have a limited calorie allotment for treats, then I’d rather have my fun in the form of cake, or maybe a sundae, as opposed to a liquid. That said, I was excited to try the Cherry Bliss Freeze because it gave me an excuse to do something unusual for me. I also prefer black cherry soda on the rare occasions when I have soda, so I’m already something of a cherry fan.
Circumstances aligned themselves in favor of me liking the CBF: I got it on an unseasonably warm day, and I was feeling pretty thirsty by the time I got it home. It was actually hard to wait long enough to take a photo, because I was that parched.
My first sip, all I could think about was Luden’s Cough Drops. Apparently, they’ve rebranded as Throat Drops because they were never actually cough drops, or something, but you probably know what I’m talking about. The more I sipped, the more it started to taste like fruit punch. Apparently, Taco Bell uses the flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry in this freeze, so it stands to reason that it would taste like a mix. The final impression it left me with is liquified Cherry Starburst. I think those of us who are into cherry-flavored products will approve of that.
As you would expect, this thing is incredibly sweet. I actually liked it more toward the second half of the drink, as the ice started to melt and the water diluted the flavor a little bit.
Anything else you need to know?
Taco Bell’s promotional images for this depict it as red and purple in color, but what I received was pink. Was this a mistake, or is something else going on here?
Conclusion:
If you like cherry-flavored things, you’re not going to do much better than this.
