Vote up the seasonal items that should be available 24/7, 365.
Have you ever experienced the soul-crushing disappointment of visiting a Trader Joe's to pick up a new, favorite item only to discover that it was a seasonal product? Or realizing that you won't be able to taste an addictive new Starbucks drink for a whole year? The problem with seasonal products is… the wait. It can be maddening, especially when the item is especially tasty and/or necessary to one's happiness.
Here are a few things that should available 24/7 all year round, but for many, are not. Vote up the items that need better availability.
When Are They Available: From January until April
Thin Mints, Do-si-Dos, Tagalongs, Samoas… it starts with an email or an order form passed around. Or perhaps you noticed a table set up in from of Home Depot. That's how you know it's Cookie Season! The Girl Scouts are out and it is time to buy cookies. And good thing, too, because these snacks can't be purchased at a store. Girl Scout Cookies are available only via an actual Girl Scout, either from a booth in front of a daily destination (grocery store, bank, etc.), or perhaps through an annual guilt trip from a distant family member or co-worker. Then you have to stock up for the year. Seems so unfair to not have Thin Mints available whenever you like.

Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs
When Is It Available: Easter time, but only in limited quantities
It's just like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, but in a giant, edible blob form that is more fun to gobble and far bigger than an average cup o' sugary peanut butter goodness.
When Is It Available: Halloween time, depending on stores and availability
Count Chocula and his buddies Franken Berry and Boo Berry are part of breakfast only during the spooky season, when the Monster Cereals from General Mills are available in stories for a limited time.
When Is It Available: From New Year's Day until Easter Sunday
The Cadbury Creme Egg was first added to Easter baskets in 1971. There were earlier versions and other eggs, but the Cadbury version fans know and love featuring a chocolate shell with a fondant egg-like center was perfected and added to the egg hunt in the ‘70s. It’s available for three and a half months out of the year, so candy enthusiasts look forward to January when retailers start stocking their favorite faux egg.

McDonald's Shamrock Shake
When Is It Available: February - March
Created in 1967 to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, the minty shake was introduced to select US locations in 1970 and became a phenomenon. In 2012 it went nationwide for the first time, and in 2020, crossed over into Canada. Taking the world by storm, but still available only two months out of the year.
