The New Look and Taste of Heinz
For the first time in 40 years, Heinz has redesigned its ketchup packet — and made it healthier to boot.
This morning, the company revealed a larger, more versatile condiment packet, which ketchup lovers can either tear off to squeeze like a traditional packet or peel off to dip. It holds three times as much as the old packet.
Domino's Pizza Takes the Pie in Blind Taste Test
Domino's Pizza claims to have taken the pie in a blind taste test against competitors Papa John's and Pizza Hut. According to the fast food chain, an independent, blind taste test of 1,800 consumers in eight different markets conducted by Lieberman Research Worldwide showed that Domino's pizzas were preferred to other pizza chains "by a wide margin." The study indicates that eaters prefer Domino's extra cheese, pepperoni, and sausage pizzas all by at least 58 percent over Pizza Hut and Papa John's.
New Product Alert! Puppy Tweets
I like to tweet on my pooch's behalf — @norththedog — from time to time, but let's not kid ourselves; it's what I think he'd be saying since he can't talk or type for himself. However, come Fall, he'll (hopefully) get the chance to try with the newly announced Puppy Tweets toy by Mattel ($30) making its debut at next month's Toy Fair in NYC.
It's essentially a plastic tag with sound and motion sensors for the dog's normal collar but attaches to a computer's USB port to share all day's activities (for those who've yet to set up a puppy cam).
Taste Test: Fully Loaded Baked Potato Kettle Chips
PartySugar and I love our Kettle Chips, from Jalapeño to Death Valley Chipotle. So when the company put us up to the Create-a-Chip Challenge, we took it head on, creating flavors like curry ketchup and fully loaded baked potato and uploading them onto the company's online recipe gallery. Perhaps Kettle took some of our ideas to heart, because its newest flavor and the winner of the challenge is — you saw this one coming — Fully Loaded Baked Potato.
Taste Test: Domino's New Pizza
Domino's Pizza ended the year with a big bang! The pizza delivery chain acknowledged that its current recipe for pizza was less than ideal and announced it had given its core product a complete overhaul. Execs promised the new pie would have a sweeter sauce with a red pepper kick; shredded, rather than diced, mozzarella with a hint of provolone; and a butter, garlic, and parsley crust.
Fit For January: Must Haves
Happy New Year! January is a time of new beginnings, resolutions, and brand-new outlooks. It's also a time of recovery from the holidays and keeping warm from the harsh Winter.
Pampered Pals: These Creatures Leash Hooks
Leashes in a tangled pile by the door and collars curled up on countertops? No more with these lovely hooks. With a selection of glossily bright colors to choose from, there's a regular menagerie of animals featured on each powder-coated steel backing.
Taste Test: Bacon Ranch and Bacon Pop
When I tried Baconnaise for the first time last year, I declared it the best thing since sliced bread. Its savory roundness led me to ponder: if Baconnaise is this good, why buy regular mayonnaise ever again?
I knew, from the way bacon turned up in just about everything, that this was only the beginning for J&D's, the mastermind behind Baconnaise.
Who Can Resist Hot Guys and Baby Animals?
Quick, picture this scenario: when suddenly faced with a hot guy in one direction and an adorable baby animal in the other, which way do you look? If you're still pondering your answer, a new calendar lets you satisfy both loves in one place!
Filled with 12 months of Hot Guys and Baby Animals for $13, all furry friends from the photo shoot came from four rescue organizations (Karma Rescue, Bunny World Foundation, Adopt-a-Chow, and PAL Rescue), and a portion of the profits will be donated to each of the groups!
Coca-Cola Drinks Back on Shelves at Costco
This holiday season, Costco shoppers can breathe a collective sigh of relief: Coca-Cola products will be back on shelves Monday. Last month, after a surprisingly public pricing squabble with the world's largest soft drink maker, the wholesale club stopped ordering Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Dasani, VitaminWater, Fresca, Odwalla, and all other Coca-Cola beverages from stores nationwide.
"Our sign that we had in stores everywhere basically said it all — 'Until we can provide our members with these products at competitive prices and provide our members with value, we are not prepared to sell it,'" Costco CFO Richard Galanti said.
