    So Wegmans FINALLY had the s’mores Enlightened! Now all that’s left to try is glazed donut!
    I give it a 10/10 it’s phenomenal. Tons of globs of chocolate sauce and it became even more plentiful the further down I went, not a spoonful was left without it. Tasted just like a hershey’s fudge sundae! I still like peanut butter chocolate more because I’m a peanut butter addict, but I’ll definitely be getting this one again!

    Anyone try the new Oreo Firework Blizzard from DQ?

    I saw that advertised and I wanna try it! I'm sure the calories are insane though :( It's times like this that I really hate having to count them.

    I totally get you about wanting to splurge on something & worrying about fitting it into your overall calories. I need to do better about being on track & not adding too many extra treats into my overall day.

    Since it was the holiday I splurged on a large of this flavor today & will get back on track tomorrow.

    Overall it was really good & the popping candy added a nice twist to the overall flavor.

    There was a lot of the popping candy & Oreo cookies throughout the Blizzard.

    The mini has 370 calories & the small 660.

    I went to Wegman's & they had the Jeni's Brown Almond Butter Brittle ice cream! I'll have to remember that the next time I go thrift store shopping in that area.

    I bought this at Wegman's as a quick pick me up after shopping, but didn't really care for it. I'm not the hugest marshmallow fan in general, but wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It didn't taste anything like cookie dough whatsoever, but the chocolate chips made the overall taste better at least.

    I actually really liked those smash mallows when I found them in Target. I didn’t try that flavor though, I had mint chip. They’re 20% off right now on the Cartwheel app!

    I ate balance bars years ago and had converted to higher-protein options - tried this today, and wow - reminded me of a cross between girl scouts' thin mints and a rice krispie treat. Not bad!

    Saw this in Redners today, it looks like pop rocks but coated with chocolate maybe? It was only 70 calories but I finished checking out before I saw it so I passed! Has anyone here tried this? Does anyone know if there’s other flavors out there?

    I had these earlier this year. I got them at Toys R Us. I wasn't a fan of mint chocolate, but I loved the banana split flavor. I think there are others, but those were the only two available at that time. I haven't seen them anywhere else.

    Just tried the bang energy drinks. Good but a little bit too much caffeine for me

    That’s why I always get the caffeine free ones! Although I really wish I knew what the purple haze and the blue ones tasted like, I wish they sold all their flavors caffeine free! So far the caffeine free cotton candy is my absolute favorite, it’s the best tasting and least artificial one in my opinion

    Is it me or its NOT ENOUGH CAFFEINE ! I also drink crazy amounts of coffee before bed also must have a cup coffee to fall asleep

    For me it was just a little buzz. I am kind of immune to caffeine though, LOL. I drink waaaaayy too much so energy drinks never really give me more than a little pick me up. We are the same, I always have 2c of coffee an hour or two before bed.

    Has anyone tried these, I've tried making couscous/barley on a few separate occasion but just couldn't get it done correctly. I also suck at making rice so I thought maybe this would be easier.

    I use and love every single one of them. Highly recommend. Posted about these before.

    Ditto. Our garage shelves are quite stocked with them ... Currently on Keto cut cycle, so they'll keep.

    It’s like 300mg of caffeine, which is amplified by whatever else they put in it! It’s way more potent than even a Monster! I didn’t really get hyper from it, but it made me really nauseous and lightheaded when I drank the caffeinated version.... I think my body was doing everything to reject the caffeine without giving it a true chance haha, but it was my first energy drink and usually I drink regular coffee once every other day to keep my tolerance low so I don’t rely on it! I’m pretty caffeine sensitive... one of the reasons I get so annoyed when bottled coffees don’t give my any type of buzz, because that means they’re little weenie coffees for children! >.<

    I can handle soda, but an energy drink heck no!

    I remember once having a Monster Coffee in the morning & then still felt really drained (it was a day I hadn't slept the previous night) & got a 5 Hr. Energy drink! I thought I was dying of a heart attack. I also couldn't sleep that night so I was up basically two nights in a row.

    I need to try this Bang drink you all are talking about. I'm not sensitive to caffeine (drink multiple cups of coffee a day or an energy drink and don't notice a huge pick-me-up, it's just routine in my morning). Where do you find them?

    GNC or Vitamin Shop

    I went to the vitamin shoppe AGAIN and still no new quest goodies. Does anyone know if the new cold brew protein powder will be sold in individual packets like their other flavors, or only by the tub?
    I did find the vitamin shoppe’s one brand (BodyTech) of mocha protein powder, but I don’t recommend it. A part of me likes it, but then there’s a really strong artificial aftertaste that puts me off. It also has acesulfame potassium, which I don’t entirely trust. No mention of coffee in the ingredients, unless it’s the “natural and artificial flavors,” whatever that means. No indication of caffeine content and I don’t feel any different, being the caffeine weenie that I am. So two thumbs down!

    And I found mine at our local grocery store (HEB). I think they have pretty wide availability.

    Welp guess I'm driving back to Redner's, I emailed DIppin' Dots to see where else/what other flavors they sell of those pop rock looking things... and this is what they said. Dang it.
