Haribo Happy-Cola gummies recalled for being special gummies
May 30th, 2025 under Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]

Haribo’s Happy-Cola gummies were living up to their name, happy in the Netherlands, and because of that, bags with the production code L341-4002307906 are being recalled.

According to PZC, several people became ill after eating the candy. One family in Twente took the bag to the police after their kids got sick. The police tested the gummies and found traces of marijuana. They shared their findings with the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, which ordered the recall.

At this time, it is unknown how this happened, but police are looking into it, as is Haribo. “We are taking this incident extremely seriously,” says a spokesperson for the Dutch office. “The investigation concerns a limited number of reports and one specific product in the east of the country. As a precaution, we have started a recall.”

Hopefully, it is contained to just that production number.

What do Selena Gomez and Post Malone have in common? They both have their own Oreo cookies. While Post’s has come and gone, Selena’s is coming on June 2nd.

“Making my own OREO cookie was a lot of fun. I grew up loving them, so being able to be a part of the process was a full-circle moment,” said Selena Gomez. “I wanted to find a way for it to feel comforting and have a bit of nostalgia from my childhood. The cinnamon flavor gives it this horchata feel, and I’m excited for my fans to try it.”

The actress’ cookie features a layer of chocolate and cinnamon flavor creme sandwiched between two chocolate cinnamon flavored wafers.

The outer cookie will come with six unique embossments, designed by the star of Only Murders in the Building. One wafer spells out Selenators, while another features her signature, and it is an Oreo first. The latter is found in approximately every three packs.

Oreo is making a donation to the Rare Impact Fund. Founded by Selena in 2020, the Rare Impact Fund focuses on increasing access to mental health services and education for young people around the world.

Selena’s Oreo is only available for a limited time.

Would you eat Miller Lite inspired Pringles?
April 16th, 2025 under Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]

Beer and chips have been going together since men started skipping church to watch sports. So, it would make sense that someone would mash the two flavors up into one treat. But no one has done that.

That is, until now, because Pringles teamed up with Miller Lite for beer-inspired barbecue flavored potato chips.

  • Pringles® x Miller Lite Beer Can Chicken deliciously combines the flavor of savory roasted chicken complete with notes of garlic and onion with the authentic flavor of the Original Light Beer.
  • Pringles® x Miller Lite Grilled Beer Brat has that smokey grilled brat flavor you know and love, with notes of black pepper, caramelized onion and brown spice. The authentic flavor of the Original Light Beer comes through in a hoppy, malt beer aroma.

“Whether or not you’re a grill-master, who doesn’t enjoy a beer and crisps as a summer snack?” said Ann Legan, VP of Marketing, Miller Family of Brands. “We know fans already infuse Miller Lite’s iconic flavor into grilled staples, so bringing those same flavors into an ultimate savory snack with Pringles felt like a seamless fit for fans to snack on at their backyard barbecues this summer. We hope our fans everywhere get the chance to try them.”

I love a good flavor combination, but I am not entirely sold on this. Are you going to try a tube?

The Miller Lite X Pringles will hit retailer shelves in May.

One bite, and you’ll get it.”

And you can get the Reese’s Filled Pretzels in three different sizes, 5-ounce bags, 9-ounce pouches, and 18-ounce jars, at retailers everywhere.
