Thanks again to The Daily Flash for having me on to talk about what’s new in the supermarket! We went through all three new flavors of Lay’s potato chips for the Do Us a Flavor Promotion – Valentina & Lime, Bacon Grilled Cheese, and Wavy Korean-Style Fried Chicken. We also tried out 7UP Tropical, Old El Paso ramen noodles that taste like birria, and both the grape and strawberry versions of Reese’s PB&J cups. What do we think of the beard?
I got invited back on “Daily Flash” this week for my recurring segment, “What Did I Just Eat?” Mitch, Andrea, and Matt are my willing test subjects – letting me me try out new supermarket products on them. This time, the theme was Thanksgiving. We had the new Holiday Nog-flavored whipped dairy topping in a can from Target, the limited-time 7UP Shirley Temple in both Zero Sugar and “Full-on Sugar” varieties, the holiday sandwich from 7-Eleven with a stuffing-herbed hoagie roll, “Brie My Guest” ice cream from Baskin-Robbins, and both the chocolate and cheese advent calendars from Aldi.
I found these in the supermarket while hunting for a home dessert or sneaky snack that’s less bad for me than a frozen leftover Snickers from Halloween. I’ve already got the little plastic tubs of peach bits in an unbranded version of Jell-O. Those are pretty good, but these Dole Pineapple Tidbits In Coconut Water are really satisfying. Canned pineapple is never going to be as good as fresh, but the addition of the coconut gives it a sunny pina colada vibe. At 60 calories and no added sugar, that’s not too bad. If you try them, let me know if you get a little “cherry pie” sensation – not the overly almond taste you get in cheap pie filling, but an actual tart cherry flavor.
I’ve worked behind the camera a lot in the last few years, but this week, I combed my hair and appeared on the national show Daily Flash as an expert in new foods on the market. Thanks to Mitch and Andrea and the crew for letting me broadcast my very specific knowledge to the world. Please check out the link below.
Froot Loops may be a bunch of different colors in your cereal bowl, but each little nugget is the same flavor as the next – a combo of orange, lemon, lime, apple, cherry, raspberry, and blueberry. Mixed together with corn, wheat, oats, sugar, all kinds of food coloring, and milk – Froot Loops are a little flashback to childhood fortified with vitamins and minerals.
