The Styrofoam of Ice Creams

 Fruity Pebbles Light Ice Cream Pint - Walgreens

I'm no food scientist, so I can't explain to you the chemical make-up of...whatever this is. Instead, let me explain it to you with childhood memories and products.

A Mystery Not Worth Solving (Mystery Oreos)

Mystery Oreos - Walmart $2.98

Oreo is on to me. They know that the rapid-fire nature of their limited edition flavor releases has left me de-sensitized, and I am guessing I'm not the only one. 

The Oreo hype train isn't what it used to be. Most likely, this decline in interest comes from the food-blogger market being over-saturated by lack-luster Limited Edition Oreo releases as it is. I feel as if there's a new Oreo every single week! Which would be a good thing, if they were mostly delicious, but when you try a string of duds one after the other the novelty wears off real fast. 

Being the brilliant company they are, they knew the way to win us back would be to change things up, slightly, and to offer a cash prize rewarding people for re-joining the hype train. It worked. Going against my better judgement, I bought 2 packs at Walmart. Is this a mystery worth solving? I hope so...

Fruity Crisp Oreos - Wegman's

Fruity Crisp Oreos - Wegman's

Yesterday, on my way home from work, I stopped by my local Wegman's to see if these new Oreos were on the shelves yet...but no such luck. Not only did they not have the new Oreos, but they also didn't even have power! (FYI: Shopping in the dark was not as zombie-apocalypse-like as I thought it would be.)

We don't have very many Wegman's locations here in South Jersey, but from the press releases it looks like they're the only grocery chain in my area that will be carrying this special limited edition cookie. Not to be discouraged, I drove to the only other Wegman's in the area (which I affectionately call "the rich people Wegman's") that's way out near horse farms and giant fancy houses. It was a bit of a drive, and there was plenty of traffic, but the trip was a SUCCESS!

They're here! They're in my hands, and they're everything I had hoped they'd be!
