Sensational Snacks 2 & Coconutty Chicken

Some snacks are just awesome, we've said that before. Doesn't matter what the reason, the reason can vary and some snacks are just awesome for totally obvious reasons..

Crazy, just random or coincidental there are times when a marketing department either seems to set upon something intentionally or stumbles upon it by complete fluke. Sometimes it might even be that they didn't mean to discover something or do something as is the cases with the fluke marketing that isn't always a good thing but is equally awesome.. Especially for those that catch such things..

Whatever the case awesome works in mysterious ways.. Definitely mysterious..

Squirrel Brand Peanut Bar:

Why is this awesome? It's not because it's the first Peanut Bar ever introduced.. Which it actually is.. The first I mean, a Peanut Bar from the 1950s-1960s this was a bar whose awesomeness is not derived from being the first of it's kind but rather what it's name is, 'Squirrel Brand'.

Squirrels as a point are probably definitively the most unstable and unexpectedly crazy animals on the planet.

 
Crazy, mind you.. Not evil.. No, the honour of most evil animal belongs to the Emu.

Sufficed to say you want to die, go piss an emu off.

At any rate, the Squirrel Peanut Bar is a snack from way back and is awesome because it's a Peanut Bar named after a crazy critter. Naturally it's not the only product introduced by Squirrel Brand, it doesn't need to be, it's just the one we're touching upon.

'Squirrel Brand' is seriously just an awesome name brand and as a general rule you can't really go wrong with squirrel related marketing or mascots. I point to the Peanut Butter Crackles of an earlier post or their fruity Cap'n Crunch knock-off counterpart;

He's evidently moving so fast he's vibrating and vibrating the goddamn cereal causing at least one piece to change from green to blue and multi form.

Jello Pudding Bites:

I posted in the past about Pudding Roll Ups which were epic little snacks almost like the skin that forms over pudding when you leave it out in open air, pudding skin is fucking delicious.

Introduced around 2002 these are fucking amazing and were fucking amazing because they were delicious, awesome and everything that is good and right in the world! Yes, I'm raving! The Jello Pudding Bites were basically pudding skin in a soft and bite-sized helping, delicious, chewy and they came in Vanilla and Chocolate and Vanilla and Strawberry, Vanilla being the perfect accompanying flavour for either Strawberry or Chocolate, these really soared!

How bad I miss these because I haven't seen them around since about late 2002 or early 2003, I think they might have been discontinued and I could cry!

PUDDIIIIING!!!!

Squeez Meez:

Fuck you Go-Gurt and your attempted claims to being the first to create squeezable snacking, fuck you right in the face. Squeez Meez weren't even the first but are an oldie ranging back from 1974 and introduced by the Hunt's Company.

Not many would remember these I'd bet but I'm sure a lot of kids from the 90s remember cardboard squeezable tubes that were filled with frozen fruit juice or what was claimed to be frozen fruit juice but was typically sugar-laden concentrate.. Delicious nevertheless but also frozen sugar juice concentrate nevertheless as well.

These are awesome because obviously they are the precursors and predecessor of Go Gurt and other snacks like them. Squeeze Meez were also delicious because when frozen they were epic, frozen pudding is more or less like frozen yogurt pops and oh man.. Delicious? You bet'cha.


Dinner:

Tonight's dinner was Kokonattsu Niwatori (Coconut Chicken) and was a delicious main dish of Sweet Peas, Fresh Mushrooms and Chicken in a delicious Asian Coconut Glaze sauce! The side was a Blueberry Cheesecake Anpan (Sweet Roll) - Delightfully decadent and succulent sweet! James clearly enjoyed this dish!
