Heinz came up with perfect solution for leftover gravy!
November 18th, 2025 under Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]

Let’s be honest, after Thanksgiving, we are left with lots of leftovers. Because of that, we spend the following week coming up with creative ways of eating all of that turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and so on. And we have places to store all of those things.

However, there is one thing that is not easy to store. What is it? Gravy!

Well, during Thanksgivings past, that was the case. Not anymore. Heinz has released the first-ever squeezable bottle for HEINZ Homestyle Turkey Gravy.

“While HEINZ Gravy has always been a fan favorite on the Thanksgiving table, we decided to focus our attention on the day after ritual—because we all know leftovers are the best part and our unmistakably rich and smooth gravy makes them that much better,” said Jamie Mack, Associate Director of Brand Communications for HEINZ U.S. “A social media favorite among millennial sitcom-lovers, the Moist Maker epitomized an obsession with holiday food crafted with care and detail. Now, HEINZ is celebrating the fans who share an irrational love of the nostalgic sandwich by providing the key to a delicious day-after sandwich: HEINZ Leftover Gravy.”

The limited-edition HEINZ Leftover Gravy Kit, which includes a squeezable bottle and a 12-ounce jar of gravy, is available at Walmart.com for $1.88. You read that right!

I don’t know about you, but I love candy canes. I just hate opening them because the plastic wrapper always gets stuck to them, and then I am sucking on plastic instead of peppermint sweetness.

You would think that after nearly 200 years, someone would have come up with a solution to that problem. And someone finally has!

On November 17th at 7p ET, Brach will be selling the Brach’s Cane Opener for $5!!! And did I mention it comes with a box of candy canes to test out the gadget of the year?

To use the plastic peeler, “insert the straight end of the candy cane, remove the cane, and enjoy.” And as an added bonus, it doubles as a Christmas ornament.

“For more than a century, BRACH’S Candy Canes have been a beloved part of holiday traditions – from decorating trees to stirring in hot cocoa,” said Kelly Peyser, Director of BRACH’S and Seasonal Marketing at Ferrara Candy Company. “More importantly, we know that consumers love the taste of our BRACH’s Candy Canes, but we know the struggle is real when it comes to opening them. That’s why we created a fun, limited-edition solution that makes unwrapping the holiday treat faster and easier than ever.”

The Cane Opener will only be available while supplies last, so don’t wait too long to buy one.

Now, if someone can come up with a thingy so that your hands do not get all sticky when you suck on one.

Do you miss drinking Mr. Pibb since it went away in 2001? Well, I got some happy news for you. Mr. Pibb is back! And it is back better than ever. The new Mr. Pibb features 30% more caffeine and a bold, spicy cherry taste with hints of caramel.

“Consumers have been asking for Mr. Pibb’s bold kick of cherry flavor for some time,” said Dane Callis, Director, Sparkling Flavors, Coca‑Cola North America. “If you go on Reddit, X and other social media , you’ll find conversations about the mystique of Mr. Pibb. Mr. Pibb has a feisty loyal following, so he’s coming back in a bold, fresh way.”

Right now, you can only find it in California, Chicago, Florida, Las Vegas, and Michigan, but it will start rolling out nationwide in 2026.

November 6th, 2025 under Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]

‘Tis the season of colds, the flu, and COVID. What do people recommend for you when you have one of those things? Chicken soup.

Well, what if you want to send them some, but you can’t find a good Jewish deli in the area? Then you can send them Chicken Soup Candy Canes from Archie McPhee. The second they start to suck on one, they will feel instantly better. That is always how I feel when I suck on something shaped like a pole!

And what if you have healthy friends that you want to send candy canes to? They also have Pacific Northwest Salmon, Jalapeno, Bacon, Dante’s Inferno, Gravy, Sour Cream & Onion, Hot Dog, Ketchup, and Pickle flavored ones to choose from.

Peppermint is so last century! So surprise your friends with a sucker like they have never sucked on before!
