I could write love letters about so many of Aldi’s snacks—and, in fact, I have. There are so many good ones that sometimes it feels like my weekly grocery run is just a restock for chips and cookies with a few staples, like Red Bag Chicken and cottage cheese, thrown into the mix.

The Aldi Snack I Buy by the Case Is Finally Back

Sweet tea—or as they call it in the South, “tea”—is an American summertime institution. It combines all the key elements of a hot-weather beverage: It’s cold (preferably iced), sweet, light, and refreshing. It’s even got caffeine, so it packs a bit of a punch. And since it's not a soda and is technically derived from a plant, it has the faint aura of being healthy (just don’t look too closely at the nutrition facts on the back of the bottle).

If you’ve spent any time on the internet in the past year, you’ve likely come across the stainless steel tumbler frenzy. In all sincerity, there’s a lot to appreciate about these tall, durable drinking vessels and their hefty handles. Not only do they keep drinks incredibly cold for hours (sometimes days), but they can hold a substantial amount of water to achieve daily intake goals.

It’s a bit surprising that McDonald’s Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry, with its inclusion of bananas, doesn’t have a Minions tie-in. The McFlurry cups could’ve totally been dressed up as Minions. But I guess it would’ve been weird to have two tie-in promotions simultaneously. The...
