New TMNT Fruit Snacks! I don’t think anything has gotten me to drive around Indianapolis’ department and grocery stores in more of a frenzy lately than these have. I was so excited that Turtlemania 2.0 is at Licensed Food Product levels already that I had to have a bunch of boxes. Some to keep, some to eat, and some to send to friends. I’d seen them on Instagram and before I found them, Shawn over at Branded in the 80s found some at his local Wal-Mart, so I knew they were out there. I just couldn’t find any. Luckily I finally tracked some down today!

I’m way more excited about these than I should be. I mean, I like fruit snacks as much as the next guy, but it’s the idea that the Turtles are popular enough to warrant said fruit snacks that gets me pumped up. I keep hoping that before long we’ll get a new TMNT cereal, cookies, and maybe even some Crunchabungas. Ok, so probably not, but I can dream right?

The Halloween season is rapidly approaching and today I officially decided to be pumped about it. I love so many things about Halloween, but one thing that always gets me in the spirit is seeing Halloween-themed candy at the store, and today I brought home a bag full.

So, in the spirit of Holiday money-grubbing by the snack food industry, and my desire to use this site as an excuse to load up on candy, I give you the first edition of a new series called Geek Eats with a special Halloween edition.

Candy Corn Oreos, Snickers Pumpkins, Cadbury Screme Eggs, and Box of Boogers gummies are all pretty awesome, although I wouldn’t recommend eating them all at once in order to write an article. That will make you feel not so awesome.

Cupcakes are one of life’s most perfect substances. No one can pass up a delicious cupcake topped with a glob of sweet icing. On the other hand, I would have to give pause before sinking my teeth into these Muppet-themed creations by Cupcake Occasions. The UK-based baker served up cakes topped with everyone’s favorite Muppet characters.

These are such a work of art I don’t think I could bring myself to destroy it by biting into it. Unless perhaps the Miss Piggy ones taste like bacon.
