Review: Starbucks Via Latte Caffe Mocha

Starbucks Via Mocha is an instant coffee mix that purports to deliver the same experience as buying a handcrafted Mocha from a Starbucks store.

They sell them at  $6.95 per 4-pack, but I got this one during the Starbucks Via Latte Taste Challenge, where they just gave me a packet rather than doing any sort of sampling... (I went at 2pm too...)

In an apparent attempt at bringing the full hot chocolate experience to a cold milk, TruMoo offers new, limited-edition Chocolate Marshmallow Milk.

Actually, it's more like the cities of Vancouver and Toronto one-upped us (and the rest of Canada) as the new drink is only offered at select stores in those cities.

Frozen Friday: Ben & Jerry's - Karamel Sutra Ice Cream

Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra ice cream features a core of soft caramel encircled on one half by caramel ice cream and on the other with chocolate ice cream with fudge chips (there's a nice little story about how the name came about from 2002).

A pint was $3.99.

Review: Starbucks - Chocolate Caramel Muffin

Starbucks' new Chocolate Caramel Muffin is a chocolate muffin with a caramel center.

I paid $2.45 for one and it was closer in size to muffins you'd make at home than some of the giant bakery ones.

News: Subway - New "Flatizzas" Flatbread Pizzas

Because "flatbread pizza" was apparently too long, Subway now offers new Flatizzas.

The new menu item basically takes a square of flatbread (i.e. a roughly six-inch flatbread) and tops it with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and one of four topping combinations.

Along with the introduction of the new Chili Cheese Fries Loaded Griller, select Taco Bell locations are also offering the new Chili Cheese Burrito, since they both use the same chili.
