All things food—trendy or just downright delicious—are great. But sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the food news out there. To help you stay in the know, here are the three new foods that you need to get your hands on today.
TL; DR
+ Sour Patch Kids ice cream is as awesome as it sounds
+ Taco Bell now has a French Toast Chalupa, and it's worth waking up early for
+ Walmart is selling Pizza in a Bag aka pizza-flavored jerky, so you can take your pizza anywhere
Sour Patch Kids Ice Cream Exists Because Why Not?
Sour Patch Kids ice cream is the treat you probably didn’t know you needed. Its flavor is a mix of lemon sorbet and vanilla ice cream, with a Redberry swirl and actual chunks of blue Sour Patch Kids.
Instagram user @junkfoodmom posted about it, saying “this stuff is amazing.” After doing a taste test, she wrote that the ice cream sorbet combo has a tart lemon flavor, but the real sour comes from the Redberry swirl. “If you get a spoonful of it, I guarantee your face will pucker up.”
It’s a flavor definitely made for those who prefer gummy candy over chocolate (you know who you are!). It’s made by Nestle Dreyers and is exclusively sold at Walmart for $3.48, so if I were you, I’d head over there now and pick up a tub if you prefer sour over sweet.
Taco Bell Is Testing New Items Like a Freaking French Toast Chalupa
Taco Bell is always testing new items, and if history repeats itself, (and it usually does) that means these items will eventually be available nationwide. Take the Nacho Fries, or the new actual nachos for example.
Right now, Taco Bell is testing a Queso Quesarito in Birmingham, AL, a $1 Crispy Chicken Taco in Oklahoma City, OK, a Beefy Crunch Burrito in Chattanooga, TN, and the star of the line up, a French Toast Chalupa in Dayton, OH.
All of the menu items are right on par with Taco Bell’s current menu, but the French Toast Chalupa feels like it’s on another level. It has a French Toast Chalupa shell filled with scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage crumbles, and a side of syrup. Um, yes.
Of course, there’s no confirmation on if or when these items will be available everywhere, but here’s to hoping its sooner rather than later.
Pizza in a Bag Isn’t as Weird as It Sounds
Harley Morenstein, the creator of YouTube show “Epic Meal Time” is usually known for cooking up some of the most ridiculous food—take the Cheeseburger Baklava, Dr. Pepper Pizza, or Fast Food Lasagna for example. Basically, he takes the classics and makes them 100 percent more epic.
Now, he’s releasing his first epic snack for the fans: Pizza in a Bag. Well, technically it’s not actual pizza place in a bag (that might be kinda gross actually). It’s pepperoni jerky and it comes in a bag shaped like pizza, in three different flavors: Pepperoni Pizza Style, Buffalo Pizza Style, and Supreme Pizza Style.
It’s great for snacking on the go, especially when it might be hard to grab an actual slice, like in class or in line at the clerb. You can get Pizza in a Bag exclusively at Walmart for around $3.98.
