Trader Joe's may or may not be known for their holiday treats, but one Trader Joe's original is getting some extra attention this year, and it isn't just because of how tasty it looks.

For some customers, Jingle Jangle simply sounds like a fun name for a mix of holiday snacks. But for fans of the popular CW show Riverdale, based on the Archie comics, it has a different connotation entirely.

You see, in season 2 of the show, a major plot point has been how a new party drug called Jingle Jangle is gaining popularity among the teens in town, causing them to be high for several days, and acting something like this:

In the show, the drug is sold in pixie stick form, and (SPOILER), Archie starts using it to stay awake for several days at a time to protect his dad from murderers. Very intense.

So imagine Riverdale fans' surprise when they walked into Trader Joe's to find Jingle Jangle for sale with a sign saying: "the seasonal treat will sweep you off your feet." And for the low price of just $8.99:

Twitter users were flabbergasted:

Even Netflix got in on the faux outrage:

Although it did seem sort of tempting to some...

Trader Joe's definitely had some explaining to do. Lucky for us, a reporter from Vulture asked the hard questions, and it turns out the name is just a coincidence. In fact, Trader Joe's Jingle Jangle has been around for several years.

A representative from Trader Joe's said: "Trader Joe’s Jingle Jangle was introduced years ago. It’s just a fun name that plays off of sleigh bells referenced in Christmas carols, since it is a holiday item. It’s also a fun way to describe the sound customers might hear when they give the tin can a shake."

So if anything, Riverdale stole the name. Looks like maybe someone on the writing staff has an addiction to chocolate holiday treats:

It would appear this Jingle Jangle might be required snacking during future viewings of Riverdale:

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
