Fruit Snacks, Manly Fruit Snacks

When one buys fruit snacks to tide one over during one's wife's labor, one has options. (It's weird what you'll write about when sleep deprived, but stick with me. This blog has been an anchor for me.)

It seems that Kellogg's has the market on girly snacks. They boast Dora the Explorer, Disney Princesses, and Barbie. Unfortunately, Kellogg's fruit snacks list high-fructose corn syrup and sugar as the first two ingredients. (Sad clown face.)

Betty Crocker to the rescue! The first ingredients listed are fruit juice (apple and pear) and corn syrup (not the high-fructose kind either). As a bonus, Betty secured the licence for the coolest boy themed fruit snacks. Shown above are the top three: Batman, Spider-Man, and Transformers. Left at the store were the Scooby Doo snacks. Discretion is the better part of valor, but imagine being able to carry a pouch of Scooby snacks in your pocket for emergencies.

Then again, one only seems to have Scooby snack related emergencies when one is high.

That's not how I roll.
