Teen Titans Go Fruit Snacks

Previously:



"Teen Titans Go" is a show that exists for some reason.  It's not the Teen Titans show I would have liked but my kids love it.  They also love fruit snacks.  And a brief intro like that can mean only one thing...


The little guys have a new movie coming out and nothing pairs better with promotion than snacks so this box was there to greet me on the grocery aisle. Other than some popsicles from years ago, I haven't seen a lot of TT foodstuffs.  Which is odd since they seem like such a no-brainer to slap on a box of waffles or a nice line of steak sauces.  But we don't have any of that so let's take a look in inside:


The gang's all here including "Silkie."  And I have to admit, I have no idea who Silkie is.  I've seen a few episodes (or at least had them playing in the background while my kids watched) and I'm not sure I've ever seen him/her.  I'm assuming that maybe the character shows up in the movie?  (Feel free to not let me know, it's not that important.)

Eat 'em up while you can because both Teen Titans movies and Teen Titans food are few and far between.  Don't even get me started on the lack of Doom Patrol snacks...

Sweet & Power

Previously:

 The DC Super Hero Girls franchise has released plenty of merchandise.  In fact, Santa brought a ton of it to my daughter this past December.  But among the dolls, costumes and play sets there was a serious lacking of any food products.  I don't know what caused the delay but I'm glad it's over because I'm pleased to announce that we now live in a world with Super Hero Girls Fruit Snacks!


DCSHG has a huge cast of characters.  At one point or other, a big chunk of the DC Universe has ended up in the web series or at least in the background of the first movie.  But the main group usually consists of Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Bumblebee and Katana with some occasional assists (for some reason) by Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn.

And it's that Fab Five that made the cover of the box and who also got bios on the back:


Each one is written in first person and does a pretty good job of introducing character traits and super powers while being personable.    Of course, they include the tried and true dotted lines for cutting out your favorite characters and staging battle scenes while snacking...this kind of thing is not done NEARLY enough.

Let's crack open a box and take a gander at the goodies:


Now I've been documenting novelty fruit snacks for a while now and it seems like lately they're making them harder to photograph/scan.  When I have time, I'll get my conspiracy theory thoughts organized.

Until then we've got the faces of Supergirl, Wonder Woman and Batgirl as well as the logos of Supergirl, Bumblebee and, I believe, Katana.  Not bad but, once again, we run into my pet peeve of doubling up on a character instead of including an additional one.  Sure, it would have been great to see Star Sapphire or Starfire or Fire but for now these will do fine.

War Rations

(Previously):

 War, what is it good for?  In this instance a brand new box of Fruit Snacks.  Summer is coming and the season's theme is "heroes fighting heroes."  We've covered some Batman v Superman nosh but now it's Marvel's turn.  In preparation for Captain America: Civil War the movie, we get Captain America: Civil War the fruit snacks!


Much like Cap's last foray into the fruit snack genre, he must share the billing.  Not only does his antagonist Iron Man join him, but a few other characters show up and some even make their fruit snack debut.  Let's check out the team line ups:


Team Cap: Captain America, Ant-Man & Hawkeye
Team Tony: Iron Man, Black Widow & Black Panther

While Black Widow and Hawkeye have been on a package or two and possibly on some actual food, this is (to my knowledge) the freshman effort by both Ant-Man and Black Panther.  Welcome aboard guys!
