    Went to Target today. It was semi-horrifying because they had all of their Valentines Day stuff up (it's January SECOND for the love of god) anyway I thought of you guys because all of the Christmas candy was 70% off. Sugar cookie flavored Peeps, candy cane Hershey's kisses, peppermint bark dark chocolate bells, etc. Just an FYI if anyone loves those things.
    I glanced at the V Day candy, nothing new looking to me but lots of caramel stuff and strawberry creme Lindor truffles but maybe those aren't new.

    Found this on The Consumerist. I'm really excited about the carrot & ginger one!

    Eh I went on the 26th and they had almost no candy left at my Target already :(

    I got a box of mini Ritter Sport variety and my sister got two bags of chocolate covered Lays. HEB and Krogers were largely barren, but I did score a box of sugar cookie Pop Tarts.

    I love the packaging on Souplicity.

    Finally picked up a pint of Arctic Zero "ice cream". I got the brownie flavor and it was......disappointing.

    I went in expecting a sorta Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked situation and got tasteless ice with mouse turd-esque brownie bits. Yikes.

    Awwwww, I liked the Arctic Zero Brownie Blast.

    Your first problem, tho, was thinking it was going to be *anything* like Ben & Jerrys. :p

    Look for Halo Top or stick to a serving of ice cream.

    The only flavor I'd say isn't a complete waste of 4.98 is their cookie dough flavor. Admittedly, I picked up a pint of a no longer available flavor, chocolatey chip, at the 99cent Store yesterday. It doesn't expire until this year and was cheap enough.

    Enlightened also has good reviews. I don't see it anywhere near me, but people here have liked it.

    Okay, on this pint.

    I don't understand why AZ retired this flavor. This base has an actual, nice vanilla flavor that goes well with the chips. Seriously, why doesn't cookie dough have this base?

    I'm really sad this is the only pint I'll ever get of it. I would gladly say it would be worth 4.98.

    I found the base tasteless, but the mix ins were good... which pretty much sums up my opinion on Artic Zero.

    I do like Enlightened but really, most of them just taste too artificial to me.

    LOL I was in Target today too and not only did I notice Valentine's Day candy... I SAW EASTER CANDY!!! My store had Cadbury creme easter eggs, Reese's easter eggs, and so much more! Also noticed the red velvet kit kats but they were like $3.50 so as much as I want to try them I'm trying to wait until I can get a better deal since I wasn't so good with my money this past week spending it all on food items and more of Halo Top's new flavors since I'm obsessed with the cookie dough, cookies & cream, and salted caramel ;)

    IMO Kemps, Blue Bunny, TurkeyHill and Breyer's are the best ice creams out there...

    Several years ago Turkey Hill had a Baklava Greek Frozen Yogurt flavor, did you ever get a chance to try that? It still breaks my heart they ever discontinued it...

    As much as I like chocolate (and I like it A LOT), when I ate ice cream, it was very rarely chocolate. I was surprised that I liked the Arctic Zero Brownie Blast but, with the new line, it's definitely the mix ins that make them better than they were.

    I finally found the vanilla and chocolate flavor of halo top in a pub-lix near me- I really loved the chocolate- hope they get some more flavors in soon- I am really jealous of you guys that get all the delicious flavors. i also want to try Enlightened since i hear so much about it. I do love Turkey hill and Edy's light ice cream.

    Trader Joe's Vanilla Ice Cream is the best plain vanilla I've ever had. Hand's down.

    Most of Breyers flavors are sad. I like Turkey Hill, Edy's, Ben & Jerry's, Talenti, Haagen Dazs, and Gelato Fiasco.

    The target I went to had candy cane Hershey's and peppermint bark bells up the wazoo! I paid $1.07 for a bag of the bells. The other stuff was just a few bags of random whatever. I think I maybe spied Cadbury eggs but my brain was on overload with holiday...everything in my face. 4 holidays at once. Aaaaaaggggh!

    I finally bought a bag of this at work and love it! It's basically a mixture of powdered coconut milk, red palm oil, and marine algae calcium with a little coconut sugar. I had to add a little extra stevia to my coffee (not enough coconut sugar in it for my taste,) but it made my coffee super creamy and didn't float to the top of my cup like a lot of bulletproof coffee mixes do.

    mkat25wtc77l.jpeg
    I made this into a "hot chocolate" sort of drink by mixing it with hot water and topping it with a dollop of coconut cream after my workout tonight and really enjoyed it! The protein in this is mostly collagen and gelatin protein, so it dissolves seamlessly in water (stirs in with a spoon no problem - no clumping issues!) and it gives it a really smooth and creamy mouthfeel.

    I know that the reviews on these have been mixed, but I liked this a lot more than I was expecting to. It really did remind me of those General Mills cereal&milk bars that you used to be able to buy. You can taste the artificial sweeteners, as well as a bit of that "protein powder" flavor, but it reminded me of an Oreo cookie drizzled with yogurt icing. I dunked mine in raw milk.

    xmiaddff0iko.jpeg
    Compared to the free samples that I got from them (which were really good,) I found this flavor to be kind of "meh". It didn't taste bad per se, but neither the peanut butter nor the jelly flavored really stood out, and the whole bar came across as kind of muddled. It was also really hard compared to the nice, soft ones that I got in the mail. Then again, I did buy them at the GNC in our local mall, and they were shoved into a bottom shelf. Maybe they were old or something. In any case, I probably won't buy this flavor again.

    I'm serious about my coffee, that creamer is going on my list!

    May I just say your kung fu is very good--I hadn't heard of any of this (except B-Up)! The bone broth protein looks interesting.
