New Article: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cookies!

When you happen upon a sealed box of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cookies from 1989, you shouldn't keep it to yourself. In today's article, we open up and examine the doughy legacy, complete with two commercial reviews and an epilogue featuring Rocksteady rhyming. The cookies came in four flavors, and Leonardo really wanted you to eat them. Have a nice weekend. Love being a turtle.

Drats. Foiled again

Chestnuts roasted by Pygmalien @ 03/05/2004 4:17 PM

Okay. I actually hate it when people do that, but I figured I had to try for it at least once. Forgive me. Never again, I promise.

Holy shit, my brother loved these. They were no TMNT pudding pies, but oh well.

Hey, those things look just like Teddy Grahams.
I’m amazed at your ability to buy ancient food in order to review it, even when it looks/smells/is crap. Seriously, I probably would have done almost anything to avoid touching those, especially if they smelt a little bad and they were that old.
…so, yeah. Love the site. Keep it coming. ^_^

I love those old local commercials that try to feature popular characters. I have a tape with an old commercial for "Ewoks on Ice." Yeah, Ewoks on FRICKEN ICE! It’s a little local commercial featuring seven-foot Ewoks.

I heard the dude. Well, not him, but when local stations or malls had Turtle promotions, there was always some poor shmuck trying to sound like a surfer, and failing in spectacular fashion. But what do I know from surfing? I lived in Oakland, where only tough, rugged guys (and girls) surf. Mainly because you tell someone from the east bay you surf Alameda, and watch them check you over for scars. Rocks the size of VWs, and rats the size of small rocks.

ewoks on ice>? ugh, all that "on ice" shit is shit!

Matt, you didn’t tell us where you got this box of ancient cookies.

Who keeps this stuff????

Chestnuts roasted by Servum septum @ 03/05/2004 5:06 PM

Oh man, I used to eat those things all the time. Good stuff. And yeah, I think they did pretty much just taste like Teddy Grahams.

A few weeks ago I promised/threatened myself that I would watch all three of the live action TMNT-movies in a row, this might be the thing to finally push me over the edge to do it.. Oh and I would have definitely picked the apple-cinnamon cookies. I’m a sucker for cinnamon..

It seems like I always had the variety that came in the turtle van shaped box. I don’t really remember the commercial or the other varieties of packaging, but that van-shaped box is eternally stamped upon my brain.

Chestnuts roasted by Rood @ 03/05/2004 5:16 PM

I can’t remember having eaten those, but it stands to reason that I must have at some point, what with the TMNT obessession I shared with every other kid on the planet. Those bank/jars do look awfully familiar.

Chestnuts roasted by Frostor @ 03/05/2004 5:35 PM

"Obsession"–curses, why do I always make typos on this one blog?!

Chestnuts roasted by Frostor @ 03/05/2004 5:36 PM

Wow, talk about bang for the buck.
Not one, not two.. no not even 3 but 8 article to read..
Plus that sweet StarWars drop-down at the end of the 4 *new* turtles article, You should do more of those Matt.. It’s even better than a working archives :P

Chestnuts roasted by Cyanyde @ 03/05/2004 5:40 PM

Speaking of which, I notice you used the same background in the archives page as the Muckman article.. Coincidence?
(or just wishful association on my part?)

Chestnuts roasted by Cyanyde @ 03/05/2004 5:46 PM

The Dr. Seuss rhymes made my day!

Chestnuts roasted by Gabbylicious @ 03/05/2004 5:59 PM

I remember eating the chocolate chip kind as a kid, I don’t think I liked them but they were TMNT so I ate them anyways. I got a box of chocolate chip Teddy Grahams a few years ago and it was like being 6 again, only eating bears instead of mutant turtle freaks. (sorry if this double posts, I got a DNS error on the first try)

Chestnuts roasted by Trampus @ 03/05/2004 6:12 PM

Hm…

…nope, sorry, I’m still reeling over Bebop and Rocksteady’s sexuality.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessie @ 03/05/2004 6:51 PM

Darn…I don’t remember getting these when I was a kid. I had the gigantic cereal bowls, though, so all was cool.

Chestnuts roasted by The ORIGINAL Paul @ 03/05/2004 9:23 PM

I don’t remember these, either, but my parents didn’t buy a lot of the "fad" food unless my sisters and I really, really begged. It was also likely that the cookies never made it to South Jersey in great quanties or at all. The normal boxes and the commercial ring vague bells, but I don’t recognize the coin banks (although they are cute – I want Raphael) or the vehicle-shaped animal cracker boxes.

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 03/05/2004 10:02 PM

Now this article brings me back a few years. Hell I remember eating these things WAY back in the day, I always thought they were pretty good.

Chestnuts roasted by West @ 03/05/2004 10:20 PM

Ah, yes, Ninja Turtle cookies. I used to have the turtle cookie jar. I probably didn’t like the cookies but I did keep the package. It was sitting on a shelf for years (empty of course) and it got thrown out eventually. This site makes me remember weird stuff.

Chestnuts roasted by JG! @ 03/05/2004 10:22 PM

Did the company that made these have peanut butter and jelly sandwich cookies? I remember eating those a lot.
