Whole Foods C&C Sandwiches

This is one of those products that seems like it should be an easy win, but for whatever reason, gets lost in the freezer... and when I say lost, I mean LOST. Like bought in early 2025 and then finally tossed months ago in 2026 lost. Why do I do that? Well, I know why, it's because the basement freezer is a mess. Maybe 2027 will be better..... until then, let me show you what once was:

Nosh or Not: Hudsonville Dirt Cake

[New for 2026] I adore texture in my ice cream, I love trying new things, and it's got a fair price, but I just couldn't bring myself to try....

Hudsonville Dirt Cake Ice Cream

gummi worms and cream-filled chocolate cookies blended into vanilla and chocolate pudding flavored ice cream

This one has been out since the beginning of the year, so hopefully a couple of you have tried it and can let us know if the Albanese "Gummies Stay Chewy!"

If you've ever had gummies in ice cream, feel free to share that too. I think gummies can be a sundae topping, but I've never tried that either.

Hot Pockets Apple Pie Snack Breaks

[New for 2026] I'm not 100% sure when my local Walmart started carrying the new Hot Pockets Snack Breaks, but I finally went by them slow enough to notice the apple pie version. Looking back, I do remember seeing the social media posts for this in the blue packaging, but I had totally forgotten about them until now. For $1.47, let's try a....

Aldi Ice Cream

[New for Mid 2026] I don't do much shopping at Aldi because it's (A) not convenient and (B) often cross contaminated. That said, I did want to see those two new fun pints that @candyhunting and others posted, so we ran in to grab a photo the other day. To my surprise, no cross contamination (that I noticed at the time!), and at $3.29 a pint, why not bring home....

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.

Magnum Dubai Chocolate Style Ice Cream Bars

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...
