The swicy trend isn’t quite dead yet, folks. For much of the year, we’ve been talking about the never-ending prevalence of sweet-spicy foods, and while it looks as though other food trends might be poised to take over for 2027, food brands just cannot help but put out a few more swicy products before the year’s done. Last month, for instance, Philadelphia teamed up with Mike’s Hot Honey to make a swicy version of its classic cream cheese, proving that there’s still money to be made in this flavor world.

And now, Sam’s Club is hoping to reel swicyheads in with a returning dip that a lot of customers are delighted to see back in stores. This one will light up your holiday table.
Sam’s Club Member’s Mark Pineapple Jalapeño Popper Dip
Sam’s Club-focused content creator @samsclubfoodreview recently revealed on Instagram that the store had brought back its Member’s Mark Pineapple Jalapeño Popper Dip. This dip, as you might expect from its name, emulates jalapeño poppers in spreadable, scoopable form. A combo of cream cheese, jalapeños, pineapples, onions, green onions, salt, and a touch of lemon juice, it’s not only swicy, but tangy, vegetal, and with a kick of saltiness tying the whole thing together. It’s not too hot, either, so friends who prefer the milder side of life will probably get on with it well.
The news of its return prompted a lot of joyful celebration from Sam’s Club shoppers, who have long admired this dip. It currently boasts a 4.6 out of 5 rating on the Sam’s Club website, out of well over 2,200 reviews, and people recommend using it on everything from sandwiches to gratin, to a topping for fruit salads. The only irritating thing is that not every Sam’s Club seems to stock it, so it might be worth checking your app before you make a trip specifically to buy some.
The State Of Swicy
As a fan of swicy, I can’t say I mind more options being out there; I know this trend’s been milked to within an inch of its life, but I had a hot honey pepperoni pizza last week and was reminded how dynamite the combination of piquancy, salt, and sugary notes is. I also don’t feel like it’s going away any time soon, despite the buzz slightly dying down. If anything, this dip proves that swicy flavors can, and will, persist amongst the rise and fall of their fortunes: It’s been around since 2022, and we probably wouldn’t have called it “swicy” back then. It’s just a good dip with a lotta flavor going on.
