It’s getting harder for me to find a TCBY location. The closest one folded and was turned into a Chinese hot pot restaurant. A few years ago, there used to be three locations on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but now there’s just one. But who knows how long that one will remain open. If that one closes, how will I satisfy my biennial TCBY craving?

TCBYGrocery, that’s how.

This month, TCBY announced a new line of pre-packaged frozen yogurt quarts, pints, and novelties to be sold nationwide at stores like Walmart and Super Target.

TCBYGrocery Quarts come in four flavors: Supreme Cookies & Cream, English Toffee Crunch, Strawberry Swirl, and Classic Vanilla Bean. TCBYGrocery Pints come in six flavors: Strawberry Swirl, Chocolate Chocolate, Mint Chocolate Chunk, Supreme Cookies & Cream, Tropical Mango Peach, and Cookie Dough. A 1/2 cup serving of all flavors contain less than 140 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, and 18 grams of sugar.

TCBYGrocery Novelties include Chocolate Fudge Bars (80 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, and 13 grams of sugar), Strawberry Swirl Bars (100 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, and 15 grams of sugar), Orange & Vanilla Bars (110 calories, 2 grams of fat, and 18 grams of sugar), and Frozen Yogurt Sandwiches (180 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, and 18 grams of sugar).

All TCBYGrocery products are made with low-fat frozen yogurt with probiotic yogurt cultures.

Update: Torani got us good. Their Chicken ‘N Waffles syrup was an April Fool’s hoax. Yup, they got us real good. It should’ve been obvious since they were going to release it in April. Well, it’s fake, so no chicken ‘n waffles syrup for us.

Next month, Italian syrup maker Torani will make it possible for you to enjoy(?) cocktails, coffee, and sodas flavored with their new Chicken ‘n Waffles Syrup. Yes, a sweet and savory syrup that will partially have an artificial fried chicken flavor.

Torani’s Chicken ‘n Waffles Syrup follows their bacon-flavored syrup, which was used in Jack in the Box’s Bacon Shake earlier this year. I look forward to getting my hands on some of this syrup and making some chicken ‘n waffles milkshakes, chicken ‘n waffles margaritas, or chicken ‘n waffles cappuccinos…and then maybe regretting it.

Two tablespoons of the Torani Chicken N’ Waffles Syrup has 80 calories, 0 grams of fat, 110 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbohydrates, 19 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.

I remember when limited edition products were limited to just candy, soda, Pringles, and breakfast cereal. Now, there isn’t a limit to what kinds of products can be slapped with the limited edition label. There’s limited edition disinfectant wipes, limited edition ketchup, and limited edition mayonnaise.

Hellmann’s Mayonnaise is teaming up with Frank’s RedHot to create the Limited Edition Hellmann’s Spicy Buffalo with Frank’s RedHot Mayonnaise. To my surprise, this isn’t the first limited edition mayo from Hellmann’s. Last year, they introduced their Limited Edition Mediterranean Roasted Garlic & Herb Mayonnaise.

I don’t know about you, but I can imagine the possibilities with this spicy Buffalo-flavored mayo: turkey sandwiches that taste like Buffalo wings, potato salad that tastes like Buffalo wings, egg salad that tastes like Buffalo wings, and hair conditioner that tastes like Buffalo wings.

The Limited Edition Hellmann’s Spicy Buffalo with Frank’s RedHot Mayonnaise will come in reduced fat and full fat versions, and is only available in 9-ounce squeeze bottles.

New products are released all the time and here are some we found on our most recent shopping trips. We may or may not review them, but we’d like to let you know what new items are popping up on store shelves.

Starbucks Refreshers were originally tested in uncanned form at limited Starbucks locations in 2010 and available nationwide during Summer 2011. Now they’re available in canned form and in three flavors: Orange Melon, Raspberry Pomegranate, and Strawberry Lemonade. The beverage combines fruit juice with “natural energy from green coffee extract,” but doesn’t look or taste like coffee. Each can is made up 25 percent juice, has 50 milligrams of panax ginseng, and a number of B vitamins. As for caffeine, the cans don’t say. HOW CAN THEY NOT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL! Sorry, I haven’t had my caffeine fix yet, so I’m a little grumpy.

Instead of saying would you like more marshmallows with your hot cocoa, I’d like to say would you like more hot cocoa with your marshmallows, and Kraft’s new Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits will allow me to do so. After a quick Google search, I learned that these tiny marshmallows that would make horrible marshmallow gun ammunition have been around for a couple of months, but this is the first time I’ve run into them. Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits come in two flavors: vanilla and peppermint

Hey! More Dove Men + Care body and face wash options! But I still can’t use it to wash my hair like I can with products from Old Spice and Nivea. If I can use Dove Men + Care on my chest hair, arm hair, leg hair, armpit hair, genital hair, back hair, and toe hair, why can’t I use it for my head hair?

I think Lay’s Classic BLT potato chips are new. I’m not sure because in the back of my mind I think I’ve seen Lay’s BLT potato chips when I was younger. Or maybe Walkers in the UK made BLT crisps. I don’t know. To be honest, whether or not they’re new is something I’m not too interested in. What I’d like to know is whether these BLT chips have some lettuce flavor.

Have you ever wanted to enjoy Arby’s curly fries at home without having to leave your house? I haven’t, but if I did, I now have the option with this bag of frozen Arby’s seasoned curly fries. According to the bag, we can heat up some of their “world famous fries, anytime!” I’m going to go out on a limb here and say they’re probably not world famous since there are Arby’s locations in only seven countries. And last time I checked, seven countries don’t make a world. If anyone gets to say “world famous fries,” it’s McDonald’s, which is in 119 countries.

Hmm…Let’s see if I know my US Presidents. George Washington is on the one dollar bill and was our first white US president. John Adams was the second President of the United States and, I think, he made beer. Thomas Jefferson was one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence and had sex with his slaves. James Monroe might be Marilyn Monroe’s great great grandfather. And, James Madison’s spirit gets upset when school children get confused between him and James Monroe.

If you’re out shopping and see a new product on the shelf, snap a picture of it, email it to us at [email protected], and you might see it in our next Spotted on Shelves post.

Last year, Mentos introduced their UP2U line that came in four flavors, which we reviewed (here and here).

Wait. Actually, that’s incorrect.

There were four different packs and each one had two flavors, so there were really eight flavors. Well, there are now 14 flavors because Mentos has recently release three new UP2U varieties:

Chillax Mint and Energy Strike

Striped Red Strawberry and Starmint

The Gum Connoisseur’s Tumblr has reviews for Chillax Mint and Energy Strike and Superfruit Smasher and Tropical Mixer.

Here are some quick notes about the new varieties: The Energy Strike flavor does contain caffeine; Superfruit Smasher includes pomegranate, yuzu, cranberry and other fruity flavors; and Striped Red Strawberry and Starmint comes in patriotic packaging that makes me want to stand up, put my hand on my heart, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
