Epic Win: Shark Bites Fruit Snacks

Jan. 9, 2010

Shark Bites Fruit Snacks

Submitted by Ryan S, cherry-flavored hammerhead.

I feel as though, at one time or another, just about everything in the world has been molded into a fruit snack. Sharks are pretty cool, though. I definitely remember my mom packing one of these into some of my school lunches. Delicious and fun!

Epic Win: Chicken Tonight

Jan. 7, 2010

Submitted by Adam D, chicken dance king.

I would hope that this jingle should make an appearance on everyone’s Favorite Jingles Ever list. I mean, it really just gets right to the point, doesn’t it? You know it’s successful when it makes an appearance on The Simpsons, as it did during the episode “Lady Bouvier’s Lover.” To the surprise of perhaps no one, the product, despite the advertisement, was not a success in the US. However, it is still sold in a few countries and was successful enough to spawn products called “Beef Tonight” and “Sausages Tonight.” I’m trying to sing “Sausages Tonight” to myself, and, I have to say, it just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Epic Win: Straw Cups and Bowls

Jan. 2, 2010

Submitted by Tom S, with built-in straw.

I understand the straw cups. I really do. With a straw built right in, one could go as far as to say they’re a rather convenient invention. The bowls, though? The only use the bowls have that I can think of is to slurp up the milk leftover from your cereal. Am I missing something? Nevertheless, I most certainly remember using these as a child. And only once or twice as an adult. They do what a lot of good products do (looking at you, crazy straws!): Make eating food even more fun!

Epic Win: ’80s Juicy Fruit Commercials

Dec. 27, 2009

Submitted by B. Hunter, who was moved by the taste:

1980s Juicy Fruit commercial: Epically epic.

They certainly did come up with a catchy, persistent jingle, eh? It’s lasted so long (they’d want me to say something like “almost as long as Juicy Fruit’s flavor!”) that it was used in a new commercial as recently as last year. Some might call that lazy, using the same song for 2 decades of commercials, but I say they just got it right early on!

Epic Win: TMNT Cereal Bowls

Dec. 22, 2009

Submitted by Justin A, cereal power!

I don’t even remember if I liked the cereal, but I had to have one of these bowls. Once I got a bowl, I think I only ate “bowl and spoon” foods for months.

For those of you who missed out on these cereal bowls during your youth, you can still buy complete sets online and for cheap. I know because I checked. That way, your “cereal only” diet can never end. I just hope you alternate your sugary corn cereals with something healthy that has, like, raisins in it. You could even serve yourself a small salad in one of these bowls. I would suggest Michelangelo, but that’s just me.
