I wonder if you are right about Kansas testing products. I’m certain I once tried Pringles Corn Chips here but no one has ever heard of them. They were shaped like pringles but tasted like sun chips. I loved em but they never caught on.

I’ll have to check out Walmart blogging. Didn’t know they did that.

I think I remember those plastic bag puppets now that I’ve seen a picture of one! I remember what you’re talking about—how long it took, and the no free refills, and all of it. I think the sauce tasted different back then. I liked it better. You’re right about this kind of thing being an event.

I think Kansas is a test kitchen for lots of products. We saw the first McDLT we had ever seen in a McDonald’s in Hays, KS, and it seems like every once in a while when we drove through, they’d be trying McPizza again.

Oh, wow. That is just icky all around. Hideous new logo (why does everything “new” have to be completely devoid of character?) and frightening about the veggies. Eeeuwww!

I agree, they could gain a lot from a social marketing outreach campaign. Just look at the changes Wal-Mart has made with input from actual shoppers…
