Limited Edition Flavor

Have you ever wandered around the grocery store and noticed that many of the products we know and love have "limited edition" flavors that are twists on the original? Flavors such as Red Velvet Oreos, Raspberry Coke, Cinnamon Kit Kats, or West Coast Truffle Fries Wavy Lay's Chips?

I notice. I notice them all the time. If they sound good to me, or if they pique my curiosity, I'll often buy them.

Until now, I've largely been keeping my thoughts about these flavors to myself. I might post the occasional short review on Facebook or share my thoughts with people I know, but that's it.

I'm starting this blog as a way to share these thoughts with the world. Almost like a public service. (Also to have a little fun.) It can also be interesting to keep a record of these flavors to look back on and see the highs and lows of consumer snack culture.

I'll admit, Oreo limited edition flavors are my first love. No other product brand has been as consistent with these temporary flavors as Oreo. I've become known among my friends for being an Oreo fan. Many of my posts will likely focus on these sandwich cookies.

But I'll also occasionally try out limited edition flavors of other products, and those will have a place here, too.

So now? Let's get snacking.
