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.

Reese’s peanut butter has a new shell
April 10th, 2025 under Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]

For decades, Reese’s peanut butter has been surrounded by chocolate. However, Hershey’s decided to try something new. Now, it has a new hard shell cover, and it is pretzel.

“We know our fans are always on the hunt for new ways to get their Reese’s peanut butter fix and trust us, this one’s a total game-changer,” said Natalie Perera, Director of salty snacks at The Hershey Company. “Crunchy, creamy, sweet, salty – it’s like the snack universe finally got it right. 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.

Butterfingers tries a new flavor!
April 3rd, 2025 under Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]

Butterfingers are yummy. They are awful for your teeth, but they taste so damn delicious. However, they have been the same thing for over a decade.

Not anymore. That is because the candy bar company added a new flavor; instead of chocolate, the peanut butter filling is covered with Salted Caramel.

“With Salted Caramel Butterfinger, we’re blending two of America’s favorite flavors in a way that celebrates our classic Butterfinger bar while delivering something new,” said Neal Finkler, Vice President of Marketing for the Ferrero Mainstream Chocolate portfolio. “This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Butterfinger, with even more innovation coming soon. We look forward to delivering more unique flavor experiences.”

Do not wait too long to try one, as they will only be available through June.

Sour Patch Kids get lit…literally
March 5th, 2025 under Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]

So, I have a friend who is getting me into watches, and I told him I like the ones that light up on their own. Then he explained to me that some of the watches made before 2000 used Luminescent, which makes them glow in the dark.

Why am I telling you this? Because, while I like the idea of things glowing in the dark, I don’t necessarily want my food to do that. However, Sour Patch Kids are releasing gummies that glow under blacklight online today.

How do they do that? The Strawberry-Watermelon Glow Ups are layered with special edible confetti that emits a fluorescent glow when under a blacklight due to the use of turmeric extract.

“The SOUR PATCH KIDS brand is known for its mischievous personality and willingness to experiment with new flavors and formats,” said Grace Howard, Senior Brand Manager, Mondelēz International. “With Glow Ups, we wanted to create a candy that goes beyond just taste—something that delivers a multi-sensory experience and surprises fans in a way only SOUR PATCH KIDS can. Bringing this idea to life was a journey fueled by creativity, innovation and a lot of delicious experimentation. We can’t wait for fans to experience the glow for themselves.”

Part of me needs to try them. The other part of me is scared to do it. However, I put turmeric in my tea all the time. I am conflicted.

Plus, I don’t have a blacklight because I don’t want to know if my hotel room is full of old cum. So, what will I be able to do to make my candy illuminate? Sour Patch Kids came up with a Snapchat filter that will let you scan the candy and see them glow.

The shining gummies will be available in stores later this month. And they won’t be alone. If you don’t like sour, you can try the Swedish Fish Mini Strawberry-Watermelon Glow Ups later this month.

Hairbo goes Harry Potter!
March 4th, 2025 under Harry Potter, Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]

There are two things that kids love, and those are Hairbo gummies and Harry Potter. The two things have come together for a limited time in six different flavors.

The gummies’ flavors are caramel like a golden Butterbeer, crisp green apple from the Forbidden Forest, cola reminiscent of a bubbling potion, sweet cherry lollipop from Honeydukes, zesty lemon sorbet like Dumbledore’s beloved lemon drops, and fluffy cotton candy as light as a Nimbus 2000.

Those six flavors will be available in three different packages, one for each of our three favorite wizards. The shapes in each bag are made special for each of them.

Harry Potter Edition
Discover the magic of the Wizarding World with every bite! HARIBO Harry Potter Edition gummies feature unique shapes inspired by the world-famous story, including exclusive Harry Potter and Hedwig the Owl pieces that make this bag truly one of a kind.

Hermione Granger Edition
Hermione always knows what’s best, and we’re certain she’d agree that these treats deserve top marks! The Harry Potter Edition gummies feature unique shapes inspired by the world-famous story, with the Hermione Edition including exclusive pieces of Hermione Granger and her companion, Crookshanks the cat. Inspired by the cleverest witch of her time, these magical pieces are perfect treats for movie marathons or studying for your O.W.L.s.

Ron Weasley Edition
On their first train to Hogwarts, Harry and Ron bonded over magical sweets from the Hogwarts Express candy trolly—the start of a sweet friendship! The Harry Potter Edition gummies feature unique shapes inspired by the world-famous story, with the Ron Edition including exclusive pieces of Ron Weasley and his companion, Scabbers the rat. Now, you can treat yourself like a true Gryffindor with this enchanting mix of flavors.

I think that the bite-sized soft candies should be called Hairry Botter.

If you are like me and have Potterheads in your life, don’t wait to get them a bag of each! Because they will be magically disappearing soon.
