From its inception last fall, **Snackology** has covered the world of new and returning favorites across the worlds of fast food, candy, cookies, soda and even macaroni and cheese. We’ll get back to that last category in just a second, but first, I need to commemorate that all of those reviews, rankings and roundups have led to this: The 100th edition of **Snackology**. As always, I’m incredibly grateful that every **Snackology** reader has decided to subscribe to the newsletter, click on links to it and share it with their friends. If you aren’t already an official **Snackology** subscriber, starting with No. 100 is the perfect opportunity.

It’s time to talk about **Kraft Mac & Cheese Apple Pie Flavor**. We’re a few weeks shy of a full year since I reviewed Kraft Mac & Cheese Everything Bagel Flavor. [In the early months of **Snackology**](https://www.theomnicosm.com/kraft-mac-cheese-everything-bagel-flavor-is-a-menace/), my wife summed that flavor up perfectly, proclaiming: “I don’t think it has to exist.” She was right. It was terrible. (And that’s not even taking into account the moment the flavor packet exploded in our kitchen.) There’s no way the Apple Pie flavor of Kraft’s classic mac and cheese would be that bad, right?

(Well, I love a lot of things, but these are two of my favorites.) So you know I had my radar for new items on its highest setting when I learned that **Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla** — thankfully available in Coke Zero style too — was on the way. Coca-Cola notes that Holiday Creamy Vanilla is the first new holiday variety of the classic soda in five years (I guess they’ve had the creative team focused on flavors like Starlight and Oreo Coke Zero), promising that it will deliver the “delicious taste of Coca-Cola infused with smooth, creamy vanilla flavor that captures the joy of the holidays.” Now, if you’re like me, you’re probably asking, *What makes Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla different from regular versions of Vanilla Coke?* That’s an excellent question. Coca-Cola highlights that Holiday Creamy Vanilla “captures the joys of the holidays.” How do you add the joys of the holidays to soda? Did they add cinnamon? Cranberry? Tiny bits of Grinch?

And despite *Toy Story 4* being a pretty decent ending to the *Toy Story* series (and giving the world Forky), Pixar is working on *Toy Story 5*. I get it. *Toy Story 4* grossed $1.071 billion worldwide. Disney and Pixar are never going to stop making these movies now, and we got our first teaser for *Toy Story 5* this week.

On paper, they should be able to knock it out of the park, coming into the show with a background full of live experience and able to write their own material. That’s not always the case, though. Sometimes you get **Dave Chappelle**, who I’m pretty sure forgets that he’s on *SNL* after appearing in maybe one or two sketches. Sometimes you get **Shane Gillis**, who is incapable of modifying his material to fit *SNL*’s audience. But then there are the times a comedian like **Nate Bargatze** hosts *SNL* and lands an instantly iconic sketch. (That he unfortunately can’t stop repeating any other time he’s on live TV.) **Nikki Glaser**’s first time hosting *SNL* was nowhere near the duds that we’ve gotten from Chappelle or Gillis — but I wouldn’t say this was an episode that’ll have us wondering when she’s going to host again.
