Independence Day is just around the corner, and Sam’s Club is all about the party. A large share of fresh arrivals on their shelves is styled to honor the United States’ 250th birthday. Stores everywhere are adorned with displays from brands showing support for the national celebration. If you follow the spirit of the saying, perhaps you eat what’s celebrating, too. Below is a look at Sam’s Club’s latest releases, including several items with a festive twist.
Member’s Mark Star Spangled Chicken Nuggets
The 250th anniversary has prompted a flood of brands to proclaim patriotic sentiments like “God Bless America” to push additional variants of familiar staples. Simply giving an item a new package or altered shape and calling it a day seems to be enough for some. Sam’s Club joins in with its in-house line, Member’s Mark. Though the nuggets remain chicken nuggets at heart, their star-shaped form adds a playful touch to summer meals. It’s hard to fault the change of pace.
Oats Overnight High-Protein Oatmeal Shakes Variety Pack
The idea of a protein-rich oatmeal shake is a bit intimidating, but the two flavors in this pack—cinnamon roll and cookies & cream—have won me over. Those flavor profiles are tough to go wrong with, and any reason to start the day with a dessert-inspired bowl of oatmeal is a win in my book.
Drizzilicious USA 250th Birthday Cake Mini Rice Cakes
Honestly, I would have preferred Drizzilicious’ cinnamon swirl or cookies & cream bites to appear in the lineup. Still, I can assure you the birthday cake variant is worthwhile. This bag at Sam’s Club wears the same 250th-anniversary makeover as the chicken nuggets.
Goodles Mac and Cheese Variety Pack
Sam’s Club’s Goodles Mac and Cheese Variety Pack features their two hallmark varieties: Cheddy Mac and Shella Good (aged white cheddar with shells). We’ve sampled both boxes in the past and had plenty of praise for them, especially since they offer a wholesome twist on the kid-favorite classic.
Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Sparkling Water Variety Pack
Collagen peptides are all the rage. People are adding them to drinks for potential benefits to skin, joints, and muscle support. Sam’s Club is riding the wave by carrying Vital Proteins’ flavored sparkling water to deliver those benefits in a daily beverage. The trio of flavors—blood orange, strawberry blossom, and lemon lime—offers easy, refreshing sips.
