Sweet tacos? Spicy Coke? What's new on shelves near you? Let's see what craving crushers are coming to supermarkets in and around your hometown with this edition of SNACK ATTACK!
Dessert Tacos
Old El Paso's new collaboration with General Mills brings us Cinnamon Toast Crunch Dessert Taco Shells. They are the Mexican food-inspired sweet wraps you never knew you needed. The limited edition product is being promoted by hunks like former Houston Texan defenseman (and taco aficionado) JJ Watt and Minnesota Viking offensive star (and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal fan) Justin Jefferson. These sweet-tooth totaling taco shells are only available at Walmart.
Whataburger Spicy Ketchup
Whataburger fans have built a cult around their spicy ketchup. Sadly the chain isn't in every state. Rejoice picante fans! You can now get their sweet and spicy sauce at H-E-B store locations in Texas. If you aren't near participating stores you can also order the Cholula spiked condiment direct from Whataburger's Whatastore.
Crystal Light's Back
It's been a while since Crystal Light got a makeover. The low-cal drink mix popular with dieting moms is back and they've created a new look, as well as new mixology, immunity, and energy drink options. Mixers include Watermelon Margarita, Black Mojito, and Mai Tai flavors. All this screams ADD RUM AND A LIME to us. The immunity line comes in Orange Tangerine and Blueberry Pomegranate and is fortified with Zinc and Vitamin C. The energy products feature Raspberry Lemonade, Classic Lemonade, and Fruit Punch with 75mg of caffeine for an energizing kick in the tuchus.
White Castle Shrimp Nibblers
Late-night snacking solutions provider White Castle is rereleasing their Shrimp Nibblers and Sriracha Shrimp Nibblers nationwide. Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle, said the decision to bring back the products was triggered when they "...made big waves with our Cravers last year, so it only made sense to bring them back to shore in 2024." You can pick them up in small and medium sacks today.
MyMochi Waffle Bites
Ice cream snack maker MyMochi has released a gluten-free frozen waffle snack which makes total sense. I mean who doesn't love ice cream and waffles? You'll be able to find them at select Harris Teeter, Meijer, ShopRite, and Smart & Final stores in the Northeast for between $5.99 and $6.99.
Sweetgreen's New Caramelized Garlic Steak
One of our favorite salad spots is beefing up its menu with its very first steak addition. Sweetgreen's new Caramelized Garlic Steak option will be available across their Boston locations starting this month. According to chef Chad Brauze, Sweetgreen's Head of Culinary, the product is, "... super-tender tri-tip steak that we toss with perfectly caramelized, house-roasted garlic and onions." We just drooled. It will be available as a salad add-on as well as included in ready-to-order meals.
New Coca-Cola Spiced
This one got our juices flowin' because we love us some Coca-Cola. You're telling us our favorite pizza chaser now comes "Spiced?" Whaaaaaaat? The zesty Coca-Cola Spiced and Coca-Cola Spiced Zero Sugar brands are the first "permanent" additions to the Coke portfolio in quite a while - AKA they aren't some experiment they will take off the shelves in a week. These launch on February 19th in the US.
Wingstop Brings Back Hot Honey Rub
Sweet and spicy fans rejoice! Wingstop has brought back their fan-favorite Hot Honey Rub. Wingstop CEO, Michael Skipworth was quoted saying, "Our fans have spoken and we listened. Their passion for Wingstop's Hot Honey Rub is undeniable." If you've never tried their rub-spiked products, you can expect a mix of sweetness with hot notes of cayenne pepper and ancho chili. Fans can share their love for Hot Honey on Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook by tagging @wingstop. You can try it at participating locations in the U.S. while supplies last.
Tillamook Chocolate Ice Cream With More Coacoa
Tillamook's new curated chocolate ice cream line claims to have 45% more cocoa than their traditional chocolate ice cream, which is pretty chocolatey already. We don't have a chocolate yardstick to compare this to, but more cocoa means more awesome to us. Variations include Brownie Batter, Dark Chocolate Cookies & Cream, and Chocolate Hazelnut. It's available at Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway, Publix, Ahold Delhaize and more US stores.
