So true, I'm well aware of all that now (thank god) but damn those pies tasted good............. (My teeth are so fucked)
um, did you not see it had the Ninja Turtles on them!!!!!!??! They promote health, I eat those and become ninja..duh...
Maybe. To be fair though, I haven't thought about Ninja turtles in years and I'm still craving a Splinter twinkie.
Haha... speaking of blatant marketing to children, just look at the commercial for these things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj1-wEaL6uo
From Wiki: "During the height of their popularity ('88-'93) the Turtles had a number of food tie-ins. Among the most notable of these products was Ninja Turtles Cereal, produced by Ralston-Purina as a kind of "Chex with TMNT-themed marshmallows" which also came with a small pouch of; Pizza Crunchabungas, pizza flavored corn snacks in the shape of pizzas (the commercial starred the Ninja Turtles as Will Vinton-created claymations); Hostess Ninja Turtles Pudding Pies, featuring a green sugar crust and vanilla pudding inside; and Royal OOZE Gelatin Desserts, distributed by Nabisco under "Royal Gelatin" in three different flavors: orange, strawberry, and lime. Shreddies used to give out TMNT toys in their boxes when the cereal advertising was still geared toward children. One example of a TMNT prize was rings featuring a character on the cartoon (1992). There was also green Ninja Turtle ice cream with different toppings according to which turtle flavour you ordered. Franco-American also released a spaghetti-O type canned pasta with the pasta in the shapes of the four turtles themselves." .
That line in the ad "straight from the sewer" sounds funny. I get this image of a group of young kids lifting up manhole covers in their neighborhood looking for Ninjas or green pies. .
