It's kind of like a pseudo-cheesecake - more so than other no-bake varieties. Our own two-ingredient version of it doesn't even require cream cheese. Instead, shortbread cookies are set into a vat of Greek yogurt and allowed to sit overnight so that they can soften. The result is a creamy, cheesecake-like dessert packed with protein and endless customization options.

Founded in 1894 by Milton Hershey, The Hershey Company owns many more brands than just its signature chocolate bar brand, and Heshey is the brand of chocolate most eaten in the United States. The chocolate and candy company began with selling a simple bar of milk chocolate, followed a few years later by foil-wrapped dollops of chocolates, and then almost two decades later came the debut of the peanut-studded Mr. Goodbar.
International Delight's Almond Joy Coffee Creamer blends together the tastes of coconut, milk chocolate, and toasted almonds. The result is a well balanced, coconut-forward creamer with the perfect amount of toasty nuttiness. The chocolate isn't overwhelming in the slightest - in fact, our tester could barely pick up on it, which was actually appreciated.
It's topped with salted caramel and little churro bites, and you can get it with vanilla, chocolate, or swirl ice cream. Based on the more than 500 responses to the post at the time of writing, opinions of the new sundae are mixed at best. It seems that for some, there is no replacement for the tried-and-true Costco churro from the days of yore.

Japan's 7-Elevens are well-known for having all sorts of delicious and unique snacks that you just can't find in the United States. While the convenience store chain got its start in the U.S., it first opened locations in Tokyo in 1974. As of 2025, there were over 22,000 locations across Japan, which vastly outnumber the approximately 12,300 in the U.S.
Pizza toast is a throwback snack popularized in Japan's classic kissaten coffee shops. The first kissaten to serve pizza toast - milk bread topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella and pizza toppings, toasted until the cheese is melted and bubbling - is reportedly Cafe Benisica in Tokyo, in 1964, which is still operating. The key to this version is to first make toasty garlic bread, and I use marinara instead of the yoshoku ("Western-style food") tradition of making a ketchup-based tomato sauce.
The design here is so visually dense that it commands your full attention. Every surface is covered in saturated oranges, hypnotic swirls, or bold cheetah spots, creating a total environment that feels completely detached from the outside world.

The entire experience is a meticulously crafted backdrop for social media, and that's not a criticism; it's a recognition of a very shrewd and effective design objective.
Mixue, the fast-growing megachain that boasts a bigger global retail footprint than McDonald's, opened its first U.S. outpost on Hollywood's Walk of Fame last month, selling drinks for less than $5 and ice cream for about $1. Mixue spokesperson Xu Ping said in a written statement in Chinese that the company chose Hollywood as its first U.S. location because the "movie capital of the world" attracts both international tourists and local consumers year-round. The store, Ping added, "aims to serve a diverse global consumer base and demonstrates the brand's commitment to the American market."
As we mentioned in our review, these hot, bite-sized treats "look like an egg roll from the outside, which is fine." Although more importantly, surpassing the advertised cheesecake, this dessert delivers "just mouthfuls of crisp breading," with any filling therein distributed unevenly or (as was our experience) stuffed into one end of the log: "This dessert is mainly the crispy roll with a nominal amount of tangy cheesecake filling and even less caramel."
A new contender has surfaced at Costco, but instead of in the pantry section, this one lurks in the frozen dessert aisle. Meet the newest fish making waves at the warehouse: Binggrae Samanco frozen dairy desserts. These confections are a classic Korean treat made by the same company that makes Melona frozen ice cream bars. They are just as adorable as the iconic cheesy snack crackers, with an even more realistic look (they're reportedly made specifically to look like carp).
Despite one or two less than stellar Trader Joe's frozen dumpling flavors, the grocery giant really hit its stride with its pork gyoza potstickers. Easily earning the top spot in our ranking of the chain's dumplings, the pork potstickers provide savory goodness in each bite. Filled with pork, cabbage, green onions, and a touch of garlic and ginger, the potstickers don't skimp on the meat. From the first taste, pork is clearly the main character, with the veggies adding an herbaceous balance.

Starting February 2026, retailers across the U.S. and Canada are stocking shelves with these new additions, giving consumers more cherry-forward options than ever before.
Kaleidoscopic seems a fitting word to describe the assemblage of drinks curated by Sparkling Ice. The brand has some serious range.

It makes for a colorful grocery store display and happy customers who can always find a flavor that suits their taste buds.
If you've followed David Chang over the years, you know he really loves fried chicken - and to many people's surprise, he thinks fried chicken doesn't get much better than at McDonald's in China. This may be a mind-blowing pick, but Chang has never been shy about his appreciation for chain fried chicken. He's a documented fan of Popeye's, and heaped massive praise on China's local KFCs during an episode of his show "Ugly Delicious" dedicated entirely to fried chicken.
This chewy and taffy-like chocolatey candy came into being in 1896 and was even the first individually-wrapped penny candy sold in the U.S. The log-shaped vintage candy maintained its spot in the cultural zeitgeist all the way throughout the 1900s and even into today, but not without a little innovation and variety being added to the mix. In 1970, the Tootsie brand launched a brand-new take on its famous chewy confection with Frooties, becoming an instant hit with youth.
