Limited edition/seasonal snacks and drinks

Found a new flavor of Sprite last night called "Chill".  Comes in regular and zero varieties and has a mild cherry-lime flavor added to the normal flavor.  The teal-ish color box does not suggest "cherry" in any way.

OOoooo.  I love a good Cherry/Lime drink.  I'll need to be on the lookout for that.

Kind of have a backlog of these at the moment...

Found "Ghost Toast" Kit Kat at Kroger (cinnamon toast flavor -- this one is good but should have had more cinnamon flavoring)

Found Pumpkin Snickers, Pumpkin Pie M&Ms (my mom says to ignore them...), Ghoulish Green Snickers and Kit Kat (green inside, no special flavor that I could tell from the wrapper) and Screamin' Skittles (special sour mix) at Walmart

Found Wednesday cereal (cookies and cream flavor) at Walmart

Seen ads for (but not yet in person) Beetlejuice Fanta (green apple flavor, I think), I know Astrid (Jenna Ortega) is on the box/cans for orange, not sure if other characters are on other flavors

Also seen Pink Lemonade Kit Kat at various stores over the summer

Not a snack per se but Wendy's is collaborating with SpongeBob SquarePants and will be offering a Krabby Patty combo meal.  Launching on October 8 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Spongebob

Saw the return of the monster cereals at Walmart this morning.  This time in retro-style boxes for the monster trinity plus retro-style Camilla and Monster Friends (instead of Monster Mash) which is themed to those four's pets (Camilla's is a snake, Boo Berry's is a cat, Frankenberry's is a bat(?) and the Count's is a spider(???)).

Wish we could get a full, matching set of all the monsters again (me saying that knowing that I still have unopened boxes from last year sitting behind me...)

Not out, yet, but there will be Peanut Butter and Jelly M&Ms in December.  The article wasn't clear if that was going to be a temporary item or just a regular addition to the line.  The same article mentioned Werewolf Tracks Reese's Peanut Butter Cups so I would guess those are out now but I haven't seen them.

A little off-topic now...  This isn't seasonal or limited food just a weird story about an oddly named product...  Was waiting in the pharmacy line at the grocery to get my mom's meds the other day and was standing amongst the Slim Fast and Ensure and those sorts of drinks.  I notice some rather plain boxes of "shakes" on the top shelf, I say plain though the color blocking on the boxes was kind of eye catching in it's simplicity...  anyway, I look for the brand name since it isn't obvious on first look and I see a small rectangle with the name in a squarish font, all in lower case...  the brand name?...  Soylent

🤢

That company was fucking with you. 

Soylent has been making "meal replacement" offerings for a few years now.  They started with a powder to turn into a shake (similar to protein powders) that claimed to be "nutritionally complete and balanced, 100% of all daily nutritional requirements if you replaced all daily meals with soylent".

They were popular for a short time and easily accessible on Amazon. Came out to about $4 per "Meal"

Honestly not surprised they are now in the "senior meal supplement" category but I haven't seen them in stores before.

hey, look... we can post photos again...
