Hey, So Good readers! It’s your friendly neighborhood Junk Food Guy, back atcha this post-Super Bowl / Valentine’s Day week. I don’t know what is more emotionally draining – having to sit through the longest Super Bowl game ever, or having to think up something romantic for Valentine’s Day. Flowers, candy, nice dinner, a gift, and I STILL have to put on pants when I meet your friends?? …. Some holiday THIS is.
Well, to ease my pain, the good ole people from CVS Gold Emblem Brand Products sent me a big box of stuff. Well, So Good kingpin Eick had CVS send me a big box of stuff to review. At least, I hoped it was a box of something edible. When it arrived, it was heavy. I opened the box to find this:
Er…I was sort of scared. After I determined it was not a severed head, I slowly peeled back some bubble wrap…
Wait, is that what I THINK it is??
IT WAS.

Yes, that is INDEED a CVS football helmet. Bam.
Ok then – Head on over to So Good to read the rest. See you tomorrow…

Wait, the gummi bears are just Haribo bears in a CVS bag? How is that not cheating?
Whoops, I just dismissed Trader Joe’s entire business model.
@A. Dana: LOL, too true. I remember back in the day in California where they wouldn’t repurpose the labels, and just leave the original small business labels in tact. Memories…
Wow, they totally didn’t send you the good stuff, IMO. My favorite CVS Gold Emblem snacks are the Raspberry Lemon sandwich cookies and the Baked Cheese Crisps, which are basically like Cheez-Its, but lighter and healthier. LOVE CVS!
@Teresapalooza: I KNOW! LOL
DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THE GOLD EMBLEM SOFT PEPPERMITS PUFFS ARE NOW REPLACED WITH red bird southern refresh mints? Same Gold Emblem bag – different mints
I CAN’T STAND IT . . . .
@MsClark: Hmmmm, that’s BS! Stop changing things, CVS!
