Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream Bars

[New for 2026] Time to try the fourth of five new 2026 ice cream bars from Ben & Jerry's, though, some of us very vaguely remember them making a cookie dough bar at the beginning of this millenia. Anyway, we know this should be tasty, but let's dive into a box of....

DQ Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Blizzard

[New for Aug 31, 2026] Why this blizzard debuted on Monday the 31st rather than Tuesday the 1st, I do not know, but when we saw the advertisement during our last DQ visit, we knew we would be back. Let me introduce you to the.....

Nosh or Not Speed Round

[New for 2026] I'm trying to clean up my phone a bit, so let me share four products that we've seen at the grocery stores these last couple of weeks. Let's start with last night's run in to Shaw's.

Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt "Pints"

[New > Exclusive for Target in Oct 2025, now available elsewhere in 2026] 

Wait, in some weird fluke pattern, I appears that I do one Yasso review every six years, and it's always August. That's too funny!

Anyway, it still always surprises at how much the freezer aisle froyo market just disappeared. On the one hand, it was never amazing, but on the other hand, there were solid offering out there.

Keeping the Greek froyo dream alive (in the US) is Yasso. They've managed to stay viable by diversifying. Currently, they have 13 regular bars, 7 chocolate coated bars, 4 poppables, 3 sandwiches, and now the new (faux) pints and cups. First, let me show you the four flavors I didn't buy...

Nosh or Not? Smearcase FroCo

[New for 2024] By any chance do you remember when Nick tried a few pints of gelato from the Fresh Market grocery store? Well, we had stopped at the Qdoba in Mansfield when I noticed some random stores in the back part of the plaza. I decided to drive through when I noticed a Fresh Market grocery store! Apparently Fresh Market came to the area in 2024, which was the same year that this debuted:

DQ Caramel Apple Cheesecake Blizzard

[New for August 2026] Geez, DQ is busting out five new blizzard flavors in the span of 3 months? That's pretty cool right, especially considering that the last 3 three new blizzards I tried were all pretty meh. Anyway, I've got four options to try, but I thinking I'm going to go with the brandy new August blizzard of the month...
