Man, if I ever run out of things to post about, I just walk down the aisle of my supermarket and see what weird new product/flavor/cereal prize is out there.
This week: Strawberry Milkshake Pop-Tarts. The box suggests "try 'em frozen." But I'm sorry, that is not a strawberry milkshake in that picture, it's a glass of strawberry Quik that somebody shook up to get extra bubbles. It also makes it sound like you're supposed to dip the 'Tart in the milkshake, which I guess you could, but um, no.
Remember when Pop-Tarts had like five flavors and the most complicated thing about them was whether they had frosting or not? Now they have hot-fudge sundae Pop-Tarts, chocolate-chip cookie dough Pop-Tarts, Darth Vader Pop-Tarts, S'mores Pop-Tarts and many more. And if I only didn't know how many calories are in just one, I'd have likely tried them all.

I thought of you while wandering in a Capitol Hill Safeway and I stumbled upon bags of mini key lime pie flavored Almond Joy. (Almond Joys?) Then to my ever expanding horror what do I see on the shelf next to the pile? Bags of mini passion fruit (or was it mango? something upscale and fruity - I think I blacked out) Almond Joy. *Shudder* However, since you were such a (theoretical) fan of Pina Colada Almond Joy I knew I had to pass on the "exciting" new developments in Almond Joy Technology.
Call me a candy luddite, but I liked it better when every candy bar didn't come in every flavor. Also recently spotted: Strawberry Kit Kat. I mean seriously - wtf? What next strawberry crème m&ms? Key Lime Snickers? Pistachio Mint Butterfingers? Gah! I just grossed myself out!
Well, keep up your good work in "snack food advancement". I appreciate that you (sometimes) try it so I don't (ever) have to.

Up here in the vast tundra that is Canada, we still only have, like, 6 flavours of Pop-Tarts (S'mores being the "fancy" one). After a short vacation down in the States, and seeing the selection, I now cry when I have to settle for a toaster pastry filled with imitation fruit.
