1 . New Taco Bell Fries
So Taco Bell is offering four new menu items (all fries) to select cities.
Buffalo Chicken (based on the Buffalo Chicken Nachos.)
"shredded chicken, nacho cheese sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo"
Vampire Steak Fries
“spicy-savory sauce with flavors of garlic and jalapeños" (+marinated steak)
Loaded Taco Fries
“nacho cheese, seasoned beef, cheddar cheese”
One menu item is NATIONWIDE! It’s the Steak Reaper Ranch Fries made with the world’s spiciest pepper:
“Carolina Reaper peppers, ranch sauce, and marinated steak”
Get these fries in a burrito for $2.99… or on their own for only $3.49!

2. Starbucks Tie Dye Frappuccino… Flops?
The Tie-Dye Frappuccino® Blended Beverage Crème… In Starbucks’ own words:
“Turn up the volume on summer with a Tie-Dye Frappuccino® Crème Blended Beverage. This deliciously fruity drink is vibrant with red, blue and yellow tie-dye swirls, topped with vanilla whipped cream, and dusted with red, blue and yellow powder. Just like the peak of summer, the Tie-Dye Frappuccino® blended beverage is available for only a few days.”
Red beet, turmeric and spirulina for color. Glittery dusting… worth it?
It’s been met with disappointed reviews by the Washington Post, the New York Times and Delish… but it’s really up to you!

4 . Driscoll’s Limited Edition Rosé Berries™
Available June-September at Whole Foods (in Northern California). Strawberries or raspberries!
According to Driscoll’s:
“The blush color comes from a natural blend of light and dark berries mixed with the power of the sun," they wrote on their website. "Rosé Berries™ contain sweet, peachy notes capped off with a soft, floral finish that's as delicate as a rose. Plus, their smooth, silky and creamy texture perfectly complements a hot, summer afternoon."

5 . Trader Joe’s Golden Milk
I actually really like Golden Milk so I’m stoked for this.
According to Trader Joe’s:
"Called “haldi doodh” in India and “golden milk” in most western countries, the combination of milk and turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic practices for centuries… we’ve opted for a smooth, non-dairy, coconut beverage base in our version…
Crafted with honey, turmeric powder, ginger juice, cinnamon, & black pepper…subtly sweet take on a satisfying, spiced classic. It’s simultaneously refreshing and comforting and can be enjoyed hot or cold.
… 32-fluid-ounce, shelf-stable carton of gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, lactose-free, kosher-certified …$2.69."
I really do want to try this!
