New Article: Eating Spongebob Squarepants.

The 11th hour...just in time. Today's article is a special feature about some of the incredibly many Spongebob Squarepants food promotions that have just hit store shelves, ranging from Pop Tarts to cereal, popsicles, Cheez-It crackers, fruit snacks and more. He even got his own macaroni and cheese! He's pretty much everywhere you look in the supermarkets these days -- it's almost as bad as those Hulk promotions we looked at last summer. Here's the article, including several really giant pictures that may potentially cause hunger. When will it end? When there's Spongebob chicken.

Matt what are your initials?
Your tax attorney must have a REALLY long convo w/you every year.
Great article. Funny how it’s now the main line cereal companies (Kellogg’s) doing the themed cereal.
Kids Bop Volume 5? Did I miss something?

Fine Job. My little cousin has Kidz Bop, and now knows the words to POD. Heh….

Aye, Spongebob is certainly everywhere. My 3 year old son loves Spongebob, me being 26 I like the cartoon as well. But my son wants everything Spongebob. I remember the good ole days of Nickelodeon… you know, shows like You Can’t Do that on Television. I remember ditching school in the ’80s and watching the now ‘classic’ Nick Jr line-up, shows they wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole now. Granted, I would never admit to my friends that I was ditching school and being relegated to watch Nick Jr. but you have to take the pro’s with the con’s.

Not a fan of the big yellow guy myself, so it was a bit tough for me to read, but I’ve seen most of this stuff in the local minor groceries, and it’s all NUUUUUUUTS!

Funny thing is, I noticed all the Spongebob stuff the other day and thought it’d make a perfect X-E article. And here it is!

Spongebob’s growth in the supermarkets remind me of when they taught us how bacteria reproduces and multiplies in a room. I watched in awe as Spongebob strawberry juice that contains no juice (Coffee Talk. . . discuss) raped, pillaged and plundered through the aisles until there was Spongebob Garlic Powder, Spongebob Teriyaki Marinade, and Spongebob Maxi Pads with wings. Too bad I hate the guy. . . otherwise I would work my shopping list to exclusive Spongebobness.

Ah, but they used to have BLUE Spongebob Mac n Cheese. In a special bigger box I think.

I had it. It was blue. Yeah…. Blue. Cheese.

I hate when I miss the blue editions, but know what’s still sitting in my freezer? Blue Funky Fries. I’m pretty sure they killed those off real quick — this bag has got to be almost two-years-old now. I should post it up sometime.

Dude, I would kill for the mp3 of the Kids Bop version of "Bring Me To Life." Something great about preteens singing "Save me from the nothing I’ve become."

Chestnuts roasted by TEd @ 02/04/2004 12:16 PM

Those Kids Bop CD’s worry me for some strange reason. I just wonder if they remove certain words, or if they are meant to be taken into a different context when the kids sing it, versus the adult version of the songs. Heck I don’t know why it bothers me so much, I grew up listening to Van Halen, Kiss, Motley Crue, and alot of other bands that had the most raunchiest lyrics, and me being 6 or 7 being totally oblivious to what some of the meanings of the songs actually meant.

Hi Matt, thank god you’re on the side of He-Man. I’m lighting a candle at church in your name.

I made my own spongebob costume for last years high school costume contest and WON, and got to sing the theme song, I was briefly estatic before kids started calling me spongebob and i was forced to sing the song at ever school event, Xmas, Idol, Prom, Graduation, and then my mom thought I loved it and got me all the stuff, I love the show but am now suffering from SPSB overkill, still gotta love that Squidward

Oh yeah, I don’t want to be a dick, but it’s been like 34 days Matt, it’s 2004

Chestnuts roasted by Brrent @ 02/04/2004 1:08 AM

There’s no Spongebobs in that cereal!
The blue Spongebob mac-n-cheese has the funkiest, most disgusting smell on the planet, but if you have to babysit it’s a get out of jail free card.
I don’t know if anybody around here watched HBO’s show Carnivale but I was a big fan, especially of Clancy Brown’s performance as the demonic priest. My enjoyment was greatly enhanced by the fact that everytime he opened his mouth I pictured him saying "Me money! Me precious, precious money!"

Fixed , sorry for the tough love, I just enjoy pointing out the small mistakes of others and pretending I spell perfectly.

Chestnuts roasted by Brrent @ 02/04/2004 1:31 AM

those yellow & brown spongebob marshmallows are so cute! mmmmm. mac and cheese….

Chestnuts roasted by Rachel Cakes @ 02/04/2004 1:31 AM

Brrent: you could have at least waited till morning so I wouldn’t have to go to sleep having bad dreams.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 02/04/2004 1:32 AM

Who are you kidding?? you’ll be up for hours anyways, and I’m slowly but surely making my way through the old articles, "you’re site is great" but still not enough tigers

Chestnuts roasted by Brrent @ 02/04/2004 1:35 AM

i tried the chocolate funky fries when they first came out….BAD CHOICE!! Worst thing I’ve ever consumed in my life…just thinking about them scares me, and the stores have like 15 freezers full of just them. never any missing but they are always there.

I was going to say something else but i forgot. @_@

Chestnuts roasted by heeloyd @ 02/04/2004 1:40 AM

squee- I was a big fan of the Carnivale, especially of the deliciousness know as Clancy Brown.

This whole Kidz Bop thing reminds me of when they sang on the Mickey Mouse Club and they had to change the words. A line from Salt n Pepa- "I think I wanna have your baby" becomes "I wanna be your baby"

Chestnuts roasted by allicat @ 02/04/2004 1:43 AM

wow. you go to bed late, matt.

Chestnuts roasted by Rachel Cakes @ 02/04/2004 1:44 AM

Chestnuts roasted by meef @ 02/04/2004 1:51 AM

Spongebob…ah, Spongebob. What is there to say that hasn’t already been said?

And I hope Matt’s initials are "M.A.C." Just because.
