Limited Edition Gingerbread Pop Tarts

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

limited edition gingerbread poptarts

Of the many holiday products on the market this holiday season, one of the most portable is the limited edition gingerbread PopTart from Kelloggs.  Made "soft and chewy" and filled with white icing, these new PopTarts are coming to a grocery store near you in boxes of 12 count tarts.

Reviewers report that these limited edition Pop Tarts smell amazing when placed in a toaster, and the icing inside reminds them of the icing found on cinnamon rolls.  The front of each tart features one of a large variety of winter gingerbread images, which Kellogg claims are of fifty in number … a claim made easier by the lack of clarity of the image on the average tart. 

The whole concept of gingerbread PopTarts seems to have inspired purchasing excitement from a variety of folks, including people who don’t usually like PopTarts.  While not everyone is a fan, there is no doubt that gingerbread is popular in December … it even made an appearance as an aphrodisiac on last night’s episode of October Road.

Ohio Buckeye Cereal

Friday, September 14th, 2007

Ohio State University fans are actually fanatics, so maybe they will be scooping up these Ohio Buckeye cereal boxes by the supermarket cart-fuls. The cereal, a fall favorite, is back again but this season it can boast that it was named “Buckeye Heroes” before NBC’s Heroes was the worldwide phenom it is now.

Florida Gators fans can show their love at breakfast for a limited time only. The cereal is produced in partnership with the state’s dairy farmers, and will only be available at Publix supermarkets for a short time. This is the fourth season that Florida fans have had the opportunity to consume the flakes, but the first time they will have had a chance to eat them while cheering on a team that is defending both the national football and national basketball championships.

KrustyO’s Are Here!

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Krusty O’s, the famous cereal from The Simpsons, are now available as a limited edition food. Convenience store chain 7-11 has joined forces with the movie and turned several locations nationwide into Kwik-E-Marts, a reference to the local convenience store in the cartoon that is owned by fan-favorite Abu.

Krusty O’s: Free Jagged Metal O in Every Box!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Rumors are rampant this week that 7-11 may be converting up to a dozen stores nationwide into “Kwik-E-Mart”s where Abu fans can buy Krusty O’s and other Simpsons themed merchandise in what may be one of the most ambitious move tie-ins of all time.

Time is limited for confirmation, because the Simpsons movie opens July 26. 7-11 is refusing to confirm the plan, but fans are hopeful. Personally I am hopeful that they remove that Jagged Metal O that Krusty promises before those boxes hit the shelves, whether they are sold at Kwik-E-Mart or not.
