Swim Team

 Justice League Cheese Nips  - -  Avengers Cheez-Its


There they were...staring right up at me from the shelf on the cracker aisle at Target.  After Endgame, we thought the Avengers were done but it looks like they've returned.  Now instead of the plains of Wakanda or the streets of Manhattan, this time the battle rages on in your lunchbox.

Looks like the the world's greatest superheroes are teamed up with the Pepperidge Farms Goldfish.  Black Widow (deceased), Captain America (retired), Iron Man (deceased) and the Hulk (alive and less angry?) are the attention-getters on the outside of the bag, but what's on the inside?

 Our snack lineup consists of the Avengers "seal," Iron Man's mask, Black Panther's mask and Black Widow's symbol.  It's good to see Black Panther represented and, at this point, Iron Man is a no-brainer.  But if they were going to include symbols, I wouldn't have minded another character to show up instead of just the Avengers "A."  I also suspect that the Widow's hourglass symbol might have come from some previous franchise that got the cracker treatment.  More research is need to confirm that theory though.

And if you've got some time to kill while snacking, why not treat yourself to a "back of the bag" maze?  Pick your favorite Avenger and make your way to the center...hours of fun.

There are also regular shaped Goldfish in the mix so traditionalists don't get too disoriented while chomping down on these new, unfamiliar superhero shapes.  Grab a handful during the next Marvel Disney Plus show.

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!
