Can you believe that Rice Krispies Treats have only been introduced commercially on 15 January 1995 by Kellogg’s?
The original recipe was created by Kellogg’s employees, Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day in 1939. Since then mothers and other companies made the treat till Kellogg’s decided to mass market the treats.
We are guilty of this every day. We throw out old bread without a second thought. There are so many useful things you can do with stale bread. Toast Ale cleverly makes beer out of stale bread. They will gladly take it off your hands. It’s their main ingredient.
According to Toast Ale, we waste almost 900 000 tonnes of the stuff a year, or about 24 million slices every day. In terms of calories, that’s enough to pull 26 million people out of malnutrition. Half of this is wasted from our homes.
Being innovative in the bread business is pretty hard to do considering the limitations what you can do with a bag or just industry staleness. All a bread has to be is nestled in a bag. Not much room for creativity, unless you are Norwegian “Finnish” rye bread maker Solrug. They hired Rami Niemi to redesign the plain old boring bread bag into something cool. Will it entice you to buy the bread? It will definitely get a second look in an aisle of bland bread bags. I’d buy it just for the bag.

It is quite callous to break up by texting the other person. Well, there is a better way to break up. Send them either “It’s over.”, “I can’t do this.” and “We’re done.” ice-cream Breakup Pints. Think that’s cold. You might be right but at least you get ice-cream out of it. Vancouver-based Nora’s Non-Dairy ice-cream is making being jilted a good thing. The Breakup Pints come in three personalized containers and flavors, you can write the person’s name on the tub.
Heinz-Craft Company and Noon Whistle Brewery are set to introduce a peanut IPA that pays homage to its Planters’ mascot. Just in case, IPA is a pale ale. It was only a matter of time before the peanut manufacturer would cash in the combo of beer and peanuts. Peanuts are the most common salty snack usually found in a small bowl in a bar. So it seems like a natural marriage of cross-promotion products.
There was a time when the toy was secondary when buying cereal. The folks of Funko see the world a bit more differently. The cereal is secondary. They are releasing what seems to be a steady flow of pop culture merchandised sugar laced themed cereals. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is feted for the occasion with Clark W. Griswold and Cousin Eddie cereals designed uniquely to each character. The boxes are exclusive to FYE.

Usually, I do not gripe about food products. I am a gimmicky kind of person, but frozen grilled cheese sticks are a bit too much. Talk about lazy. Remember it’s your money. If this is your kind of thing, please purchase Farm Rich’s Grilled Cheese Sticks. Nothing like the real thing.
Seaweed products are washing up on store shelves just like the seaweed does on the ocean shores. Heine Max Olesen’s Sea Man Seaweed Chips commissioned Pearlfisher to design new packaging for the company. The art is so appetizing that you tend to forget the chips are made from bladderwrack seaweed. Bladderwrack sounds like a urinary tract infection gone bad.
Reese’s Pieces shaped like trees? You be the judge. Looks more like Reese’s Arrowhead Pieces. Sorry, Reeses’s you do not get a pass. My mouth might say otherwise when I bite into it but my eyes say that that is stretch that that piece of chocolate looks like a tree. Your text should not be “Trees!” but instead be “Trees?”
The Who-ville Gingerbread Cookie Kit should be a hit with the little ones. I was never a fan of gingerbread. It’s not for everybody. If the kit is a bit too pricey, you can buy a mini version, Cookies United Mini Whoville Gingerbread House, at any Walmart.
