For Halloween, Pepsi released a special limited-edition costumed can. Instead of the typical jack-o'-lanterns or orange and black theme, however, the soda company simply printed Halloween-related words like boo and ghost on the cans. Have you seen them in stores? What do you think of the design?

For the first time ever, Coca-Cola will release a line of special cans that celebrate Summer.

Krispy Kreme Lightens Up . . . Sort Of

YumSugar — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:01:15 -0800

Here's one for the "Do we really need these?" books. The folks at Krispy Kreme have decided to offer a limited edition Lightly Glazed doughnut. From now until March 23, you can get a doughnut that is "lightly" drizzled with their signature Original Glaze. I haven't found any nutritional info on these doughnuts, but something tells me that given the amount of glaze, it can't be that much better for you. What do you guys think? Do we need a lightly glazed doughnut? Will you be headed out to try one?

It's Time to Gobble Up Limited Edition Easter Candy

YumSugar — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 07:29:31 -0800

I was checking out the Easter aisles at my local Target when I noticed a few limited edition candies. While there's a sea of pastel coated chocolates and speckled eggs, the newest trend seems to be citrus flavored chocolates. Cadbury brought back its Orange Creme Egg - first introduced last year - and Hershey's now has both orange and lemon creme flavored kisses. The orange has been available for the last few Easters, but I think this is the first time I've seen the lemon. Both are a bit like a dreamsicle, and neither of them contain chocolate.

Have you seen any limited edition candies in your store? If so, are you planning on buying any of them? What limited edition flavor do you think the candy companies should make?

Would You Eat a Marmite Sandwich?

This year, Marmite - a cult British favorite - introduced a champagne flavor for Valentine's Day. The original Marmite is made from a yeast extract and is a dark brown, salty paste with an intense flavor similar to soy sauce. The paste is then spread on toast or crackers. Nigella Lawson is even known for her recipe for Marmite sandwiches in which she whisks butter and Marmite together and spreads it onto sliced white bread.

The new limited-edition I Love You version contains a hint of champagne, but is still the same intense flavor.

So what I want to know is, would you eat Marmite? How about a Marmite sandwich?
