All things food—trendy or just downright delicious—are great. But sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the new food out there. To help you stay in the know, here are five things in food news that you need to know about today.
TL; DR
+ Blue Bunny is now selling mini ice cream cones topped with their version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
+ Krispy Kreme's lemon glazed doughnut is finally coming to stores after fans voted on it earlier this year
+ You can now order Domino's to the beach or to the park and not totally confuse the delivery person with their new app feature
+ Disneyland turned carrot cake into one of their legendary churros
+ A gummy pickle exists now, because people are suddenly obsessed with pickles (??)
Mini Ice Cream Cones Topped With Cinnamon Cereal Exist, and Our Inner Child Is Screaming
Yes, Blue Bunny now sells cinnamon cereal ice cream cones, and they are extra AF. They have cinnamon cereal-flavored reduced fat ice cream, covered with vanilla coating, and topped with cinnamon cereal pieces, all loaded up inside a cinnamon cone.
According to @junkfoodmom on Instagram who spotted them at Walmart, these are delicious. "Wow are these good!" she wrote in a post. "You’d think with all this cinnamon going on it would be too much, but it’s not. The cinnamon cereal pieces on top are soft, not crunchy. I like that the vanilla flavored coating holds it all together, even if slightly melted. It does, however, add extra sweetness that some might find too sweet." You can be the judge of that.
One thing to note is that these ice cream cones are exclusively sold in a mini size, so you'll need to eat about six (kidding, but maybe not kidding).
Krispy Kreme Is Bringing Its Lemon Glazed Doughnut to Stores For One Week
Back in January, Krispy Kreme asked people to vote on a new doughnut glaze flavor—the contenders included lemon, maple, caramel, and blueberry. None of the flavors were revolutionary, but all sounded delicious. However, after nearly 2 million votes online, lemon came out on top. Now, the Lemon Glaze Doughnut is making its debut at Krispy Kreme, but for one week only, starting Monday, April 23. You can pick one up at participating Krispy Kreme shops in the US and Canada. For best results, go when the Hot Light is on.
Domino's New Delivery App Feature Lets You Place Orders Outdoors (aka Without a Real Address)
Yes, you've always been able to order pizza from the confines of your home, or really any place with a numbered address. But now, you don't have to have an address to get your 'za dropped off with Domino's new app feature.
The feature is called "Domino's Hotspots" and all you have to do is find a Hotspot nearby (you'll be asked for your GPS location), place your order, show up to the Hotspot by the estimated time of arrival, and there you go. So it won't come exactly to you, but it's like when you call an Uber Pool and you have to walk a tiny bit.
This is a great invention, and here's why: Have you ever tried ordering pizza at the beach, or at a park, but never had a way to exactly locate where you are? Saying "I'm by the seventh marker on the north side of the beach wearing gold flip flops" aren't exactly the easiest instructions (or most convenient) for your delivery person. But now, you can easily meet them at a place nearby and get your Domino's pizza wherever you decide to walk those gold flippy floppies.
Disneyland Took a Cake and Made It Into a Churro—Genius
Disneyland has long been known for its epic churros, from classic cinnamon to glittering rose gold and more. Now, as they celebrate Pixar Fest (through Sept. 3), you can get your hands on the Carrot Cake Churro. Yes, they turned a literal cake into a sweet and delicious giant churro stick. According to Food & Wine, the churro is rolled in orange cinnamon sugar with a side of raisin-carrot cream cheese frosting for dipping. You can find it in the New Orleans section of the park, so if you'll be going to Disneyland soon, definitely circle it on your park map now.
Gummy Pickles Exist, and How Are We Just Finding Out About This?
Pickles have been blowing up our social media lately, from The New York Time's pickle and peanut butter sandwich to Sonic's pickle juice slushie. So, it's no surprise that someone has created a gummy pickle. According to Bustle who found this novelty, Vat19 is the creator of a pickle made of gummy candy that is the size of a real pickle. Oh yeah, and apparently, it also tastes like the real thing.
The "good-sized gherkin made of gummy" (as the site calls it) is currently sold out, but regularly sells for $5.99. If you're dead set on getting this pickle gummy candy though, you can of course find another one on Amazon for around $15.
