As some of you may already know, Hostess has once again struck up its relationship with comics and is now offering Justice League-branded versions of some of their most popular snack cakes, including Green Lantern GloBalls. And to answer your question: Of course I’m going to eat them and then write comprehensive reviews detailing how they fit in with their representative characters. I’m Chris Sims.
So today at ComicsAlliance, enjoy the sacrifice my teeth and blood sugar have made to bring you a full-on review of the Justice League of Snack Cakes! It’s a little weird, but I was a big fan of articles like this back in the late ’90s when I’d read ’em in different places, so hopefully The People will dig it. If so, I can totally go back and get those Spider-Man Gummies and an Iron Man Bellywasher. It’s 100% juice!
I saw these in the store just the other day… did you notice (assuming I saw it right) that they are promoting “give hostess treats out for halloween” on packages that have an expiration date *before* Halloween?
“I’m Chris Sims.”
I feel a catch-phrase coming on.
@silverpantsblue
Wait, Hostess products have expiration dates?
My initial instinct is that they are a red herring/marketing ploy…
That flash/robin suggestion of yours really does seem like they’ve made a massive marketing blunder… both with the zinger being a better fit for the Flash, but also with your Robin cupcake’s instead idea… Im sure that while shopping for snacks if some kid saw that there were batman cupcakes and also sold separately robin cupcakes, well you’ve doubled your cupcake sales right there. Man, when will big business learn to 1st check with the comics blogosphere before doing anything?
Bruce Wayne can eat Hostess Cup Cakes and keep his rugged physique because he’s the goddamn Batman.
I know it’s bad form to sling accusations on someone’s blog, but I’m beginning to suspect Batmanology is not a real science.
Them Spider-Man Gummies; they’s just Gummies.
Cue complaints about the lack of a Wonder Woman themed portable toothrot delivery system in 3…2…1…
My understanding of it is that there are actually a few female DC characters variants available all right – check your grocer’s freezer aisle.
Your Glo-Ball oath reduced me to a giggling cretin.
The FLASH CAKES! i got from you were ok.
Caught this over at CA – I’d seen these on the shelves and it reminded me of the ads they used to run with spiderman – where he dashes out to snuff some crime going on (right outside MJ’s window, tough neighborhood) and shes kicking back at home eating a stack twinkies off a silver platter. Why do I suddenly feel ashamed of my riches because I balk at putting out twinkies on a platter?
