Crack Team

There are two types of Super Hero Food: one type that ties in with a movie or TV show and another that doesn't.  The first kind is a dime a dozen whereas the second is a little more rare.  This type seems to be an effort to keep the characters in the public eye and, of course, make a little money.

These are always more fun because they just "are."  Justice League Crackers are Justice League Crackers for the sake of being Justice League Crackers.  Which brings us to today's entry: Justice League Crackers!

Nabisco Justice League Mini Cheese Nips are the most recent item to make its way into my shopping cart.  They are your standard cheese cracker but with the theme of never-ending justice.  The usual gang is involved and, wisely, Nabisco decided to go with logos instead of faces.  Let's see how the cracker crumbles:

No Green Lantern and, of course, the ongoing Martian Manhunter snub is still in full effect.  Also, apparently Cyborg has a logo now and it's not bad.  Looks like a "C" with a gear in the middle which is a pretty clean design and translates well into the cracker medium.

The rest of the usual line up get their own crackers, as per their Justice League contracts.  All the logos look pretty good and are easily more recognizable than they tend to be in gummie format which makes me wonder why we don't get more character cracker stuff on a regular basis. 

There's a group shot on the back along with a nice little quiz.  As with most "back of the box" fare, this feels less like homework and more like a little light snack time fun.  You can see that the cracker-less Green Lantern makes an appearance at the back of the group shot and even gets his own trivia question.

The twelve packs of these beauties will fit very nicely in your Justice League lunch box with your Doom Patrol Tuna Salad sandwich.  Enjoy!

"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...

Snack Time: Egg Salad

Sometimes I'll come across some super hero related food that is interesting but not quite interesting enough for its own blog entry. When that happen they get combined into a "Snack Time" entry.

Most of these were spotted at my local "Big Lots!" store.  As I've said before, they stock discontinued or low selling items from the previous year so it tends to be a jackpot for the type of weirdo branded foodstuffs that I'm always on the lookout for. 

Let's start with some seasonal offerings:

First off, are some large (maybe six inches tall or more) Easter Eggs with Spider-Man and Batman.  They've been known to be bros in the past and their team-up continues with offerings of jelly beans and a "figure dispenser." 

Next up are "Viewer Eggs" featuring Spider-Man and the Avengers.  You look through the hole in the egg to see pics of your favorite crime fighters.  Then you crack 'em open and eat the jelly beans inside.  What's not to like?

I had never heard of ROAR beverages before but apparently they have Iron Man (apple) and Spider-Man (fruit punch) drinks.  I later learned they also have a Captain America (grape) drink floating around out there somewhere but I didn't see one on this trip.  A couple of these beauties made it home with me.

And, of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the Avengers have been popping up on bananas lately.  And, yes, I'm collecting the stickers.  So far I have the Hulk, Black Panther, Iron Man and Cap.  I think all I need is Black Widow and Thor to complete the set but maybe there are others I haven't seen yet.

So that's the latest round of snacks...but it's important to stay vigilant in the grocery aisles.
