Everyone loves a good Publix sub but are you willing to steal them? First off, it's crazy to steal your favorite sandwich from Publix when most of them are super affordable and constantly on sale. That didn't matter to two suspects who are accused of snatching two pub subs over the weekend and running out of the store. They were caught on camera stealing inside the store and on camera in their getaway car. Police are asking for your help to find them.

Where Are The Publix Sub Thieves:

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said that a couple walked into the Publix and continued up to the deli station Saturday afternoon. The Florida Publix located on Del Prado Boulevard in Cape Coraland looked for an order they had previously placed online. According to WFLA, they were not being able to find their sandwiches, they previously ordered online, the Deli Clerk made them new ones. After they were done, they took their pub-subs and walked out of the store without paying. According to the police report, each sub cost $9.99, bringing the sandwich’s total value to $21.28.

They stole two turkey subs, and it was all caught on security footage plus they got the couple driving away in a black Ford Explorer. Police are asking for your help in catching the couple that got away. Anyone who recognizes the couple or has any information about this incident is asked to contact Lee County deputies at 239-477-1000. It's important to note that it's not worth stealing two turkey sandwiches. There are way better Pub subs that you can order there so we assumed they would have ordered something different. Publix is known for many delicious sandwiches and one if their most famous chicken tender sub. We highly recommend trying that one and actually paying for it that way you don't go to jail.

Publix today announced their new lineup of limited time summer ice cream flavors you'll see in stores soon. There are 8 new summer Publix ice cream flavors in total. 5 have my name written all over them. The other 3 you can have.

You may already have some of these in the freezers at your Publix now. But the limited-time summer flavors will disappear August 30, according to the Publix website.

You might see a Publix ice cream truck with the new flavors There are 3 Tampa are stops coming up. Look for them in Lakeland June 29 at Common Ground Park, in Tampa at Sparkman Wharf June 30, or at the St. Pete Pier July 4.

The 3 Summer Publix ice cream flavors I'm going to pass on:

Before I get to the 5 summer Publix ice cream flavors I've gotta try, here are the 3 runner ups that aren't so much for me... but you might like. I'm not an almonds fan so Coffee Almond Fudge will be a no for me. I'm not so much into pecans either so I'm going to pass on the Caramel Turtle Cheesecake. And my lack of love for nuts continues... I'm going to say "no thanks" to Hula Hula Macadamia.

Now, here are the 5 I'm going to be definitely looking for that BOGO on.

#5: Cold Brew Cookies and Crème

Cold Brew Cookies and Crème

This one doesn't take me back to my childhood so much like the others do.  I didn't become a coffee drinker until way late in life.  It started when I was a morning guy on the radio in California.  That caffeine kick was a necessity when I had to be up every morning at 5.  A mashup with chocolate sounds good to me.  Publix describes this one as "cold brew coffee flavored ice cream with crème filled chocolate cookie pieces throughout."  So is it ok to eat this one first thing in the morning?  Asking for a fri... me, asking for me.

#4: Marry Me Strawberry

Marry Me Strawberry

I didn't get a chance to get over to Plant City for the Florida Strawberry Festival this year.  So this will have to do.  Publix describes it as "strawberry flavored ice cream with ribbons of strawberry flavored sauce, studded with pieces of white chocolate flavored strawberry pecan bark."  Now I mentioned I'm not a big pecans fan.  But I'll still take this one for a spin for sure.  

#3: Buckeyes & Fudge

Buckeyes & Fudge

Any dessert with peanut butter and chocolate is an instant yes for me.  I'm Team Reese's Peanut Butter Cups all the way.  This one isn't affiliated with the candy, but it sounds like the ice cream equivalent to me.  Publix describes it as "peanut butter ice cream loaded with chocolatey covered peanut butter buckeye candies and swirls of thick fudge."  I'm 100% in.

The ice cream truck menu only needed one thing to make me happy as a kid.  Ice cream sandwiches.  As simple as they are, that's what summer tastes like to me.  So I'm way into this one.  Publix describes it as "chocolate ice cream with decadent chocolate cookie crumb swirls and chunks of flavored chocolate sandwich cookies."

#1: Lemon Berry Bliss

You probably heard me talk about this one on the show today. This one's got my name all over it. I love lemon flavored desserts. And being a kid from Maine, blueberries have always been a part of my life. Blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, I'll even buy blueberry coffee when I see it. So to see these 2 flavors together? Psh. No brainer. I'm all in. Publix describes it as lemon crème flavored ice cream with lemonade flavored flakes and blueberry flavored swirls.
