From the Endangered Groceries List - Larry the Cable Guy Mac N' Cheese

I don't even know what to say about this.

Sometimes I see products in the store that just make me sad. This one....this one right here......this one made me extremely sad. When you go from the huge up and coming comic that everyone wanted to see....the one person everyone wanted in their movies and sitcoms..........to this: Having your own generic (it was in the dollar section, guys) Mac & Cheese (and strangely enough, doing commercials for heartburn medicine). Sometimes the fall comes quickly, and I hope Larry the Cable guy takes it all in stride (and stuck away a few million dollars on the journey.)

Git R' Done, Larry......Git R' Done.

Sigh.

Get it while you can, kids. I expect this to be gone REAL soon.

So, yeah.....I came across this gem in a bin at Walmart.
I picture eating these and constantly pulling beard hairs out of my mouth.
Hurry up, boys, your 5 minutes is just about up! Crab that cash!

From the Endangered Groceries List - Peeps Marshmallow Flavored Freezer Pops from Just Born

Imagine the sugary, artificial flavors of Peeps Marshmallows.......only in ICE FORM!

Yuck.
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I'm not even sure what to classify these as.... Frozen Foods? Snacks? Horrible Ideas? Just Born's idea of a joke? Genius?

Whatever you call them, go get some of these if you can find them. I can't imagine they'll be around for long.
4 flavors, 10 pops per box. And they retail for under $2.00 a box.

I'm sure one day you'll go to buy some, and poof, they'll be gone.
Without a peep.

Yeah, I know......that one hurt me too, but it was for your own good.

From the Endangered Groceries List - Chocolate Chip Soda

 

Alert reader Apollo A. send us a unique item to add to out Endangered Groceries list today, and boy, is it a doozey. I've seen some horrid sodas in my time, but this one just doesn't seem right.

Today we bring you Presidents Choice Chocolate Chip Soda.

Created for the 25th anniversary of their Decadent Chocolate brand, Presidents Choice decided to come out with an assortment of items, such as pancake mix, cake mix, and for some weird reason, soda. It was meant to be enjoyed "straight up", or as part of an alcoholic drink. But if you ask me, I'd need a few drinks of alcohol before I'd think about putting this stuff in my mouth. There's a reason the market isn't flooded with chocolate flavored sodas, and that reason is because it's a terrible, terrible idea.....and I think Presidents Choice is already starting to realize this. Apollo told me that this soda retails for .99 cents, but he is seeing it already marked down to .33 cents a liter.

The reviews have not been positive either, so it's a good thing that this was a limited release. 

Not sure if this is sold in the US or not, as I believe Presidents Choice may only be a Canadian product, so sadly, I will probably miss out on this one. But if you have the means, I urge you all to go purchase one of these today!

Or wait until tomorrow and hit the dumpster behind the store.

If you are out at the grocery store and spot an unusual item that you have a feeling won't be on shelves long, snap a picture and send it to me at gbnfgroceries@gmail.com so we can add it to our Endangered Groceries List! 

Come on. Make your mom proud.

Announcing a New section for 2014: The Endangered Grocery List!

When I'm out grocery shopping, I have gotten into the habit of snapping pictures of products that are weird, interesting, and probably doomed to be pulled from the shelves. Snack foods, cereals, sodas and chips are some areas I can usually find these strange creatures. I snap a picture of the items on the shelves, in their natural habitat, if you will. It's kind of fun to look back and see how many of the items I shot didn't make it in the wild for long.

So that's why I'm going to start a fun new interactive part to this blog, and I'm hoping all of you faithful readers out there (all 6 of you) will help me out. The new section is what I am going to call "The Endangered Groceries List", and it goes like this:

When you are out shopping at your local Piggly Wiggly, Meyers, Cub Foods, or whatever grocery chain you have in your neck of the woods, be on the lookout for "endangered groceries".

What are "Endangered Groceries" you might ask? Well, it's those items you see on the shelves that catch your eye and you think to yourself "Wow, these are never gonna last". Maybe they are limited edition items that were never intended to stick around. Maybe they are items tied to some celebrity who is having their 5 minutes of fame. Or maybe it's an item that is just plain a bad idea that nobody is going to buy into.

Here are some examples that I have shot in the wild:

Limited edition cereal, will surely be gone in 6 months

And this:

Weird snack/cereal from a small company that I can't find anymore

Oh yeah, and these......weird......

Git R' Done! I give them a few months. Aren't people sick of this guy yet?

So, if you are out and about and come across any of these doomed to fail, endangered groceries, snap a pic! And send it to me at gbnfgroceries@gmail.com. Maybe I'll use it in the Endangered Groceries section, and you'll be an instant hero to people everywhere! (well, to the other 5 people who read this blog, anyway.....)

Thanks, and happy hunting!
