1. Bobabam Instant Boba Drink Kits
There's nothing more fun than drinking boba tea but making it at home from scratch can be pretty time-consuming. These kits, which average a bit more than a dollar per serving, promise "60 seconds to boba shop bliss." The punchy new packaging for Bobabam has Redditors excited too, as these come with large compostable straws for slurping. Users have found the Bobabam drink kits in the freezer section of their local Costcos and report back that they're a good dupe for the real thing saying "I like them. In fact, I am a fan. I loved the Brown sugar flavor" and "It’s a good fix if you’re wanting to not leave the house." One genius Redditor even shares a hack for making these saying "Pro tip: Combine with Fairlife’s salted caramel protein shake to make pseudo-brown boba milk tea."

2. Zapp's Voodoo Chips
The perfect kick to end your summer parties, this giant bag of cult-favorite chips features the flavors of jalapeno, BBQ and salt and vinegar. Redditors have left comment after comment about these chips, saying "These are not the spicy version, which I absolutely love but it's hard to find (been many years since I've seen it!) If Costco ends up offering the Spicy Voodoo chips, I'd stash at least 10 bags. Delicious!!" and "I am in New Orleans and always figured these were one of the local products that our store carries. Nice to know that y'all in the rest of the [US] got Zapped."

3. Premier Protein Pancakes
High protein is everywhere these days, and Costco is no exception. Instagram users in the southern central area of the country (like Texas and Oklahoma) are loading their carts with these new 15 grams of protein pancakes while the rest of the U.S. patiently waits their turn. "Hurry up already. Sams has had these for months. They are amazing. Come on Costco sell them everywhere" says one IG commenter. "ooooo, I would fly to Texas to try these!" says another.

4. Island Way Sorbet
Users on TikTok are in agreement about these delicious tropical treats. Each sorbet is cutely presented inside of real fruit shells, making these a standout item for your party table. The frozen confections come in mango, pomegranate, coconut and pineapple. "The absolute best. I go to Costco just for this product. Everyone loves them," says one IG user. TikToker and recipe developer Grace Elkus even has a genius hack for these treats that make them taste like an Almond Joy: melting chocolate, a bit of coconut oil and pouring over the top, sprinkling with almonds and freezing again briefly. The 12-pack retails for $14.99.
