Includes full access to Popculturology and The Cold Open.
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Cherry Float
Where I found it: Harris Teeter Did I buy it? Yes. I’ve been waiting for Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Cherry Float since the second I saw rumors of it last year. You better believe I put a few cases into my shopping cart when I finally came across it. It was worth the wait.
Valentine’s Day Munchkins Tin
Where I found it: Dunkin Did I buy it? Yes. The Valentine’s Day Munchkins Tin is supposed to be filled with 25 assorted Munchkins (including the Valentine’s Day Sprinkles Munchkins), but my Dunkin put the donut holes in a box and gave me the tin on the side. Oh well.
Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Dill Pickle Puffs
Where I found it: 7-Eleven Did I buy it? Yes. I wasn’t originally going to buy these Cheetos, but when I ran into a second display of them at 7-Eleven, I knew it was fate. I wasn’t sure about the dill pickle part, but they’re delicious.
ALSO FROM THE OMNICOSM
Love what you’re reading? You might also enjoy Popculturology, a deep-dive into the world of movies, television and more.
Where I found it: CVS Did I buy it? Yes. I’ve been waiting and hoping for Reese’s to bring Spring Sprinkles back, and now the time has finally arrived. I guess I should’ve taken the “spring” part of this variety’s name more seriously. You better believe I’m buying a bag of the miniature version of Reese’s Spring Sprinkles when I find them.
Hostess Twinkies Sweet Treat Cappuccino
Where I found them: 7-Eleven Did I buy it? Yes. I couldn’t tell you the last time I ate a Twinkie, but I’m a sucker for anything that’s pitched as a store exclusive. The Sweet Treat Cappuccino Twinkie delivered that classic spongey cake with a coffee-hued filling — a combo that very much works together.
Cheez-It Gluten Free Original Crackers
Where I found it: Harris Teeter Did I buy it? No. It’s nice to see a version of Cheez-Its made for folks with a gluten intolerance. While I don’t have a gluten allergy, I do already have several boxes of Cheez-Its at home thanks to a “buy two, get two free” sale last week.
Cadbury Mini Creme Eggs and Mini Caramel Eggs
Where I found them: Lidl Did I buy it? Yes. I’ve been on the hunt for the tiny version of the classic Cadbury Creme Egg (but isn’t every Cadbury Creme Egg just a tiny version of the ones we remember from our childhoods?), and I’ll have more for you all in another edition of Snackology ...
ALSO FROM THE OMNICOSM

Where I found them: Lidl Did I buy it? Not this time. I already had a stash of Pop-Tarts Peeps thanks to my recent review of them.
Junior Mints Eggs
Where I found them: Lidl Did I buy it? No. I couldn’t confirm while I was in Lidl that Junior Mints Eggs haven’t already been on the market (it appears that they have), but the addition of some coloring to the candy’s minty center wasn’t enough to convince me to pick these up too.
Skittles Gummies Fuego
Where I found it: Harris Teeter Did I buy it? No. I reviewed Skittles Gummies Fuego last summer when they were an exclusive to Skittles’ TikTok store, and now it looks like they’re finally becoming widely available. I don’t think I’d regularly stock these at home, but they’re worth a try at least once.
Pepsi Prebiotic Soda
Where I found it: Harris Teeter Did I buy it? No. I’m a fan of Pepsi Prebiotic Soda, and it’s great to see it being stocked in stores after a brief online window of availably last fall/winter. My cart already had Coke Zero Cherry Float and a bunch of Olipop in it when I was at Harris Teeter, so I skipped Pepsi’s winning entry into the prebiotic soda game this time around.
