I chased down the ice cream truck guy and got some goodies. This was $2 WTF? Trick is to not let them know where you live 
Was sour, but I shed no tears. Good thing I have about 10 pounds of frozy stuff at home that is better anyways.
I have such an addiction to freezy pops. It is borderline complete obsession. Friday I was at sams and we got our few items. I caught a glimpse of these and for some reason did not purchase them. It drove me insane all weekend, so on Sunday I went to get them. The lemonaid ones come in 3 flavors (100 calories) and the icee ones (70 calories) come in 3 flavors as well. They are so good. So soft and pushup pop like.
Did a double take when I saw these. I love corn nuts so I figured these would rule. With the simple ingredients, flavor, and texture, they are close to fritos. It is just corn, oil, and salt, but a bit more formed and thicker than a frito. They seemed a bit thicker and more oil soaked than a frito. Sadly, they lack the full corn nut taste I have come to love. Their size is pretty small which makes downing a handfull easy.
Sprite Melon is all about the sex, it comes wearing a fishnet stocking. The skin is really thin and there does not seem to be a rind on it. Really sweet and delicious.
Thanks walgreens. i sorta always wanted to work at wallgreens just so I could see people buy ointments and salves for strange as hell issues they have. Just to know what a person with nipple mites looks like. Annnyways… New butterfinger schtuff. According to the wrapper, these are butterfinger goop filled cookies with a peanut butter drizzzzzle. They taste like a butter finger, shocking, I KNOWZ.
I saw this yesterday and was OMG and Theresa was GTFO we so need to try that. I love the cheaper soda brands and RC is darn tasty, this creation is darn tasty too, but in a yeah that is cherry RC kind of way.
meh…..

Planters has new flavor grove cracked pepper skinless almonds with onion and garlic. I am always looking for new crap to try and my local convenience store folk are tired of me asking for something new each time I stop in, so they actually notified me of these. Skinless almonds just look wrong and seem to not hold much flavor. Mike at the U-STOP said you have to suck on the nuts to taste the flavor.

Just a bit of backstory. As a wee lad I ate only the light pringles. The reg ones tasted really strange to me. I think we had Cheez Ums a few times and liked them, but my pringeling faded… A few years back I would get a tube of the light ones for snackies and be fine. Well they changed to the fat free ones and I figured they were the same. After my insidey parts revolted I gave up on them for years. Theresa brought some home recently and wow are they good. No fat free BS and they are now called cheddar cheese. What happened to Cheez Ums?
Hot summer day and I had a hankering for a frozy treat. Actually Theresa wanted a snickers ice cream bar when I was headed to the store and got some other treats as well. It is a big stick of goop. It is a bit mushy on the inside and tasted great. The ingredients were really simple, but Xanthan gum caught my eye and I googled it. It is a strange substance that makes stuff thicker and is produced by fermentation with a bacteria. This kind of caught my eye though.
In the oil industry, xanthan gum is used in large quantities, usually to thicken drilling mud. These fluids serve to carry the solids cut by the drilling bit back to the surface. Xanthan gum provides great “low end” rheology. When the circulation stops, the solids still remain suspended in the drilling fluid. The widespread use of horizontal drilling and the demand for good control of drilled solids has led to the expanded use of xanthan gum. Xanthan gum has also been added to concrete poured underwater, to increase its viscosity and prevent washout.
I see they make hot tamale ones too. yummers
