Limited edition/seasonal snacks and drinks

Hey!  The attach file button is working again!!!

...and the MM Remix box...

...and everything else that I've been wanting to post about...

McDonald's Grimace shake: I like it.  Mixed berries and cream flavor (a little too heavy on the strawberry, would've preferred more raspberry since strawberry has it's own shake).

Churro Kit-Kat: Not bad but nothing I'm going to stock up on.  Just not enough cinnamon flavor in 'em...

Arby's Orange cream shake: Back for another summer.  Perfect liquid creamsicle.

Wendy's strawberry Frosty: I can take or leave strawberry so I really don't like that it replaces vanilla for the summer and then goes straight into peppermint for the holidays (mind you, I *do* like the peppermint frosty but still miss vanilla during that time).

Icee cereal: Saw it while shopping last week, says that it's mixed berry flavor...  C'mon, it's Icee branded, it should either be cherry or blue raspberry.  Still, I'm not going to try this one... I imagine it's going to be somewhat like Crunchberries but I can't eat that stuff like I did when I was a kid...  Crunchberries do horrible, horrible things on the way out so I'm going to stay away from the Icee cereal...

Burger King Spider-Man Whopper: I don't like fully dressed burgers so I'm not going to try the red-bunned abomination, myself, but the kid I saw try it on YouTube looked really disappointed saying that it tasted just like a regular Whopper.

Mnt Dew Summer Freeze: It's a blue drink... I think it's supposed to be bomb pop flavored...  I can drink it but even with drinking the Zero version it just seemed like too much sugar...

You guys got anything?...

I'm 100% here for the Arby's Orange cream shake, I can pass on the rest of it.

My son has been on a bit of an Asian import potato chip kick lately. Basically once a week he goes to the local Asian grocery and picks up a new import flavor of chips.  We just finished a bag of 7/11 Chili and it was accurately labelled, so odd but not bad. 

I can try to get a rundown of the flavors we've tried and our thoughts if anyone is interested

Since you mentioned chips... I was just watching Robo and Veebs' semi-weekly Fwoosh rambling and Veebs was going on about an old Ninja Turtle themed snack called Pizza Chunchabungas that he loved as a kid.  I looked up the ad on YouTube and remembered the ad but I know I never tried the things but someone in the comments said that Lay's Deep Dish Pizza flavor is a close match for Chrunchabungas so I'm going to see if I can find a small bag of those somewhere to give a try.  I remember a wagon wheel shaped pizza snack from when I was really little (very late 60s/early 70s, long before I ever had a slice of real pizza) that I can remember the taste of to this day and I'm kinda hoping that the Lay's chips will match-up with those, too.

I do need to find a good Asian grocery around here, there are some Korean snacks I've been really interested in trying and I wouldn't mind getting a bag of Mtn Dew Doritos, either.

Chef Boyardee's Smurfs Pasta with Papa Smurf's Special Sauce was literally the greatest Chef Boyardee product of all time. 

Also amazing were the Hostess Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pudding Pies. 

I got some Apple Jacks Pop Tarts last week and they aren't bad, I just wish that the flavor was stronger.

The Monster Cereals are out for the year including Carmella and the new mix of Monster Mash, saw them last night at Kroger and this morning at Walmart.  Neither store had Fruit Brute or Yummy Mummy which makes me think that either those aren't getting released this year or they're going to be only at Target.  I need to find out because I want to get a matching set of boxes when I do get them...

Also noted a bunch of unusual cereals at Kroger...  Kit Kat, Froot Loops with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka on the box, Rainbow Krispies (colorized Rice Krispies, not sure if they've added flavor), Disney 100th, Mickey Mouse Club, Minecraft Frosted Flakes and I know that there were more that I'm forgetting at the moment...

Also found Cookies and Cream Twix bars (very good) and Butterscotch Scoop Snickers (amazingly good) at Walmart.

OOOoooo... thanks for the heads up on the Snickers.  I'll need to be on the lookout for that.

I goofed...  Cookies and Cream came out a few years ago, what I found was Cookie Dough... D'oh!!!

Any luck finding those up there?

I got around to trying out Carmella Creeper this morning.  Faint smell of caramel when I opened the bag but didn't really taste like caramel or apple.  It wasn't bad but it wasn't what I was expecting at all (something more along the lines of Apple Jacks or Apple Cinnamon Cherrios).  Now I have a headache from too much sugar... sigh...

A bit grumpy at the moment...  did the grocery shopping last night and Kroger has marked the monster cereals 50% off...  grumble...

...and they had a big ol' box of Monster Mash fruit snacks, too...

New edition of Loki Charms available Friday (October 6th) on walmart.c om at 11:30 am PT (2:30 ET so maybe I'll have a shot at getting a box...).  Box has a lenticular front panel that switches from Lucky Charms and Lucky to Loki Charms and Loki -- watch the video in the link below, it's better than I'm describing...

Stopped at McDonald's on the way home and they're promoting a new sauce "WcDonald's Sauce" (menu board called it "chili" but not sure how they're defining that...).  Don't know if this is a limited time thing or a new staple but they're using the bags to promote it.  The bag I got has a manga story of a WcDonald's crew (the archs are upside-down all over everything related to the sauce) receiving their first supply of the WcDonald's Sauce on three sides and the fourth side has portrait shots of the crew.  There is also a QR code for more manga.
