I recently read that Americans are sticking to basic products instead of interesting variations in their grocery shopping thanks to the rise in popularity of drive-up grocery pickup services due to the Covid-19.
What a shame, because I have some fall product ideas that are really going to knock your socks off. They are popular items with a fun, seasonal twist.
1) Pumpkin Spice Flavored Toothpaste: Don’t you just love it when the air gets that crisp feeling? Aren’t you excited when a certain coffee chain starts offering their beloved Pumpkin Spice latte? Do you want to continue that love affair late into the evening when you are brushing your teeth, or maybe first thing in the morning? You could cut that coffee chain right out of your day if you just brushed with pumpkin spice toothpaste.
2) V8: Now with Vodka: Life’s hard isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be great to take the edge off as soon as you woke up? Buy V8: Now with Vodka and get your day off on the right foot! Every can mini can includes 2 oz of vodka to energize and disengage you! Add you own Worchester sauce, hot sauce, and celery to take your can to the next level or enjoy it in the classic style, straight out of the can.
3) Peppermint Hot Chocolate Flavored Sparkling Water: Doesn’t just seem like the sparkling water trend has permeated our hearts and minds? Why not have a delicious, seasonal variety, like Peppermint Chocolate flavored sparkling water? It would taste just like a candy cane melted into hot cocoa but if that beverage was water (instead of milk) that was carbonated and instead of being hot and rich it was thin and served cold. Yum, imagine cozying up that a glass of that and a sugar cookie.
Speaking of Sugar Cookie, how about some delicious . . .
4) Sugar Cookie Flavored Energy Gel: Take your stress exercising to the next level with this delicious packet of Sugar Cookie flavored energy gel. When life gets you down, just run a 10 miler. The Nike Run app told me that running a 10 miler every week is like giving your heart a massage. You are going to need some energy to get it done, so why not indulge in a seasonal treat while you are at it?
5) Cheese Based Artificially Flavored Peanut Spread: You might be asking yourself, what is Katie talking about? Well, it’s back to school time and if your child’s school is anything like mine, you are forbidden to pack any product processed at a plant that handles nuts. That means parents cannot pack any nut-based foods of any food that was ever in 50 yards of a nut. I have a solution: make a cheese-based spread that is flavored with artificial nut flavoring and use it on one your PB&J’s. Why not? Many vegan recipes suggest substituting food processed water-soaked nuts for milk products in cream sauces. I am suggesting a reverse situation, instead substitute cheese for nuts in nut-based recipes. The artificial peanut sauce can then be blended with artificial nut flavoring and voila: fake peanut butter. PBJ rules again!
What seasonal products would you invent?
Also, please consider subscribing to my blog. I don’t want to get weird but as you read it my last post, some of my former subscribers have passed away.
Talk to you soon,

Cinnamon-apple flavored toothpaste! There’s nothing like the apple & minty toothpaste combination to wake you up in the morning by making you wince.
I love these. I would probably give chocolate mint flavored sparkling water a fair try.
Thank you for reading. I think I would actual use said products. How are you doing?
