Tootsie's Sour Dots

I'm not a big fan of the original Dots. I don't know if gum drops by design have to be so firm, but I don't like them. However, I do like sour candy and when I first saw this at the Dollar Tree before going to see Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, I had to at least try it.

Burger King's Smokey Cheddar Steakhouse XT

While Carl's Jr. started the trend with its six dollar burger, and McDonald's has the angus burger, Burger King has wheeled in the extra thick burger. Today the smokey cheddar steakhouse XT burger was sampled.

Introducing KFC's Double Down

The Double Down is one of KFC's craziest new products. Instead of bread acting as a holder for pieces of meat, KFC seemingly decides that they should use their signature fried chicken as the bread instead. With two pieces of bacon, some special sauce, sandwiched between two fried chicken pieces. The end result is the guiltiest pleasure you can indulge in that would be detrimental to your health like smoking or drinking.

The DEWmocracy

In 2008, Mountain Dew introduced Voltage to be a new flavor through its DEWmocracy promotion. Now the Dewmocracy is back and three new candidate flavors are up for voting into the permanent line up: Typhoon, White Out, and Distrotion.

Alerto's in Westminster, CA

Mexican food is a very prevalent experience here in Southern California. One might think of Taco Bell first when talking about Mexican food, but franchised fast food can carry that feeling of mass produced, soulless profit.

Willy Wonka's Scrumdiddlyumptious Chocolate Bar

The Wonka Company is looking to revive their name brand with a new line of high end chocolate bars. I've spotted about three off them: Chocolate Domes, Chocolate Waterfall, and the above pictured Scrumdiddlyumptious Bar (which I am still copying and pasting because of its length).

Coconut M&Ms

Chances are, if you peruse your local convenience store often enough, you'd have passed by this little delicacy. M&M's really has a nice broad selection of flavors when you think about it, from peanut butter to crispy and almonds, but they also have limited run flavors such as this.
