Trader Joe’s Reveals List of Their Most Popular Products for 2024 — with Some Surprising Winners

• Each January, Trader Joe’s unveils a list of customer-choice awards. This is the 15th year of the store
• In a surprising twist, Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches beat last year’s winner Hold the Cone! Mini ice cream cones for your favorite treat
• Many popular items — like tangerine chicken and peanut butter stuffed pretzels — don’t qualify because they’ve won so many years in a row and are now in the “Hall of Fame.”

Trader Joe’s has announced the winners of the 15th annual Customer Choice Awards.

For more than a decade, several products have dominated grocery store brand lists — including Trader Joe’s Tangerine Chicken, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, Unexpected Cheddar, Soy Chorizo ​​and Peanut Butter Pretzel Nuggets. But after so many years at the top, Trader Joe’s has created a separate Hall of Fame category for products that have consistently won and are no longer eligible for Customer Choice Awards.

Now there are new repeat winners. Just like last year, Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips took home the overall fan favorite crown. Gluten-free fries are “spicy little rolls made with ground corn.” As the shop describes, “the chips are cut and rolled a little thicker for extra crunch.”

Runners-up for first place overall included Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings (2nd), Kimbap (3rd), Steamed Pork Ginger Soup Dumplings (4th), and Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese (5th).

These are the winners of the other categories:
