Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?
Sometimes we're just not as brave as we could be. When it comes to buying a food or drink we're unsure about, sometimes it's easier just to stick to the norm, the safe, the explored.
Well, not for me, 'cos I'll eat anything, really. Well, most things. Even I have my limits.
But sometimes you just see something in the supermarket and you're like "Wow! How weird is this! I wish someone was around that I knew just so I could point at it, say "what's THAT all about?!" and get their echoed confusion as a response.
In this thread, just post anything you've spied in the supermarket food and drink wise that caught your eye but you've yet to purchase! Perhaps it's something you're on the fence about and need opinions. Maybe it's something you KNOW you're going to buy soon and want to share your find with others!

I know, Leicester, right? Same goes for the new Philadelphia just out. I saw it in Tesco too.
Just seemed a bit *too* crazy for me. Spied, did not buy indeed!

Surely it's just like a tub of chocolate cheesecake filling? Sounds epic to me!

The baked beans are good! bloody mary is mainly tomato juice anyway, so it makes sense really.
And for me, I love BBQ sauce..seen Jack Daniels/whisky based ones, don't actually like whisky..but somehow they look good. I dunno?

Relax in the knowledge its not as good as it looks....
It is nice and all, bordering on 'wow' but its not got an actual chocolate taste, more that fake artificial washed out chocolate taste.
So its basically popcorn with a hint of chocolate flavour.

It is nice and all, almost bordering on 'wow' material (and tbh, maybe hal of that is psychological because it looks so good anyway) but its not got an actual chocolate taste, more that fake artificial washed out chocolate taste.
So its basically popcorn with a hint of chocolate flavour.

Aw maaaaan, that's a shame. I guess it's the psychology of it. You think, "Man, that package is SO BROWN. The BROWNEST PACKET I HAVE EVER SEEN. By proxy, this means that the popcorn will be the brownest, chocolatiest popcorn in existence."

SPIED DID NOT BUY TODAY:
That Stella Artois Cidre.
Anyone tried it? Is it any good? I like my cider like... REAL cider. Not like Bulmers-easy-going-Smirnoff-Ice-Generation cider.

I don't like it! Thought, I'm no an expert. I prefer non-fizzy, and more apple tasting cider. Dirty cider I guess, like scrumpy. And the Stella didn't do it for me.

It's terrible. Similar to Strongbow I reckons.
Do love my cider, although I've become more of an Ale man over the past couple of months.
