In conjunction with the movie The Green Lantern, which hit theaters on June 17, Brisk Iced Tea has developed a new flavor of tea which they are calling a “new flavor-forward product,” and that flavor is Mango Dragonfruit Green Tea.

I don’t exactly drink a lot of iced tea, but new products like this always intrigue me. And this one is extremely refreshing, particularly as I drink some on the seventh straight day of 90+ degree heat in Wisconsin. Admittedly, the flavor is a bit different. Mango is different to begin with, and you throw in the green aspect and you’ve got something quite unique. And the more you drink, the more it grows on you. The bottle also features art from The Green Lantern.

Brisk is also running a promotion at www.anyonecanbechosen.com for the film in conjunction with parent company Frito-Lay in which consumers can enter a game code from specially marked Brisk and also bags of Doritos, Cheetos and Ruffles to win prizes. The promotion continues through July 31.

It’s amazing how many products there are now with Buffalo wing flavor. Not only have we become a nation transfixed on Buffalo chicken wings, but we just love that addictive spicy red pepper flavor. Many of us, myself included, could survive on a diet of beer and wings, or anything and Buffalo wing sauce.

The latest such product is Ruffles potato chips–Molten Hot Wings flavor. I love Ruffles and I’m not saying that so that they will ship me free product (though I wouldn’t turn it away). But this new flavor is just amazing. It’s not wimpy on the Buffalo wing flavor–in fact, it’s called “molten” because they are about a 7 out of 10 on the heat scale–at least the heat scale for the average person who likes spicy food. And the good thing is they are not too spicy so that they will overpower your sandwich, but maybe spicy enough so that you don’t have to share with your significant other who may not like spicy fare.

Anyway, if you’re a fan of either chips or wings, you HAVE to check these chips out…and be sure to let me know what you think!
