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.

This isn’t related to the TMNT article (I’ll get to that right after this post), but was anyone watching the Spongebob marathon at about 9:15 this Friday night? Patchy the pirate was doing time-travel-themed ads to promote Spongebob goes Prehistoric, and he went to hokey places like Egypt, the Mayflower, etc.
But then! An ad came up where he stepped out of his time machine deal and this is what he saw:

He time-travelled back to the days of You Can’t Do That on Television! It was the most awesome unexpected crossover since the Ghostbusters fought a parody of He-Man, or Bebop & Rocksteady were watching the Smurfs.
Those episodes would be good for reviews, btw.

Matt, thou hast done well in defeating the Turtle Cookies. Thou hast gained 1 Experience Point. Thou hast gained 2 GOLD.

But seriously, Red Slime’s got nothing on cookies so old Hilary Duff was in diapers when they were first baked…

Mmm…Hilary Duff…brings out the Nabokov in me. Unclean thoughts…about cookies…and milk?!

I’ll shut up now.

yeah teddy grahams shaped like ninja turtles. Either way I still eat them, the chocolate chip kind that is. Cinnamon and the other one aren’t that good.

Oooh and by the way 28th post…The Lucky One and pygmalien you two are both idiots and desrve to choke on some TMNT cookies

Just to follow through on an earlier post: I believe the Ghostbusters ep is called "Station Identification," where a ghost posesses a TV station and makes the main character in a He-Manesque show come to life.
I don’t know which TMNT ep I was talking about, I think I out-obscured myself. But they were definitely watching the "Slurps," who were just like the Smurfs except green all over. Some things you never forget.

Anyhow. Boring cookie time? No such thing! Cookies are always a good time. Except possibly cookies ten years old, which I don’t see very often. I’m okay with that.

Was it actually fashionable to have hand-shaped ass-stamps back then? That’s so WEIRD! Then again, girls that age nowadays have pants with "cutie" or something written on their asses. I go to Tufts University where the mascot is Jumbo the Elephant, and there are girls with "JUMBO" written across their asses. Very hard for me not to giggle.

Oh my god, It’s the Fox 42 Kids Club lady!

I grew up in Nebraska, and the woman doing the voiceover at the end of the second commercial was the host of the local Fox station’s afternoon kids shows for a long, long time. I never thought I’d hear that voice again…

Now I have the jingle stuck in my head.
"Join the Fox 42 Kids club!
The Fox 42 Kids club!"

The older version of TMNT are preferable to my taste than the "new age ones"…the "new age ones" look like villains, what with their eyes lacking pupils and all…

Other than Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles…what other cartoon-promoted food products from the 80s-90s are still out on the market today, anyway?

I remember eating those as a kid. The taste of teddy grahams with the awesome-ness of turtles. I had muckman!! He came with some mutagen ooze!!

I’d love to see you get a hold of a pack of the TMNT juice boxes. I bought a three month’s supply of those one summer. Oh the memories!

Haha funny :)

Chestnuts roasted by Allie @ 03/06/2004 3:59 AM

is it just me, or does the kid in the first black and white picture look like Malcom in the Middle?

is there some sort of wierd Dick Clarck conspiracy going on for child actors these days?

I have a turtle bowl still. Leo has a big smile on his face.

We had Fox 45 Kids Club. The guy was crossed eyed. Their background was made from pvc pipes. I never joined.

I was always sad when I would sleep through the cartoons after school.

Nice way to start a Saturday, busting a gut at a man flopping through a park in an oversized Mikey costume. That would fit perfect on Trigger Happy TV or some other crazy show.

You defenitly need to make a TMNT toy comic strip thing.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 03/06/2004 10:48 AM

Heh. I vaguely remember these cookies.

I think I broke my Pizza Shooter trying to shoot them…

For a bit of realism, I farted while reading the article. Made the article really come alive! Long live Smello-net

Chestnuts roasted by Spiffy McKracken @ 03/06/2004 1:34 PM

I feel like I should remember these but I sadly don’t. I do remember the Turtle pies though. BLEAH! The things we children went through for the sake of loyalty.

Where in the sam hell did they find that terrible costume? I thought it was bad when they dressed them up like gay cowboys for the "Shells" tour outfits, but some fat guy in the midwest running through a park is infinitely worse, and therefore hilarious. I’m seriously going back to the article right now to make sure I didn’t hallucinate it due to lack of sleep.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 03/06/2004 3:03 PM

Good article, as always, and the guy jumping around in the scary fursuit was a hoot. But one little detail is driving me absolutely insane:

Turtles = *Reptiles!* Very different from Amphibians. More evolved and all.

Carry on.

Haha, that Michaelangelo suit looks like a modified Barney suit. I wonder what those cookies actually tasted like BEFORE their expiration date.

Chestnuts roasted by Recoil, webmaster of Contra database @ 03/06/2004 3:30 PM

Ah, they probably tasted pretty much the same as they would right now.

Either that or as a few others said up there ^
"Teddy Grahams"

I wonder what the first cartoon to have a food named for it would have been?

Chestnuts roasted by Cyanyde @ 03/06/2004 4:14 PM

Heeeey, I was right about the Archives thing!

Thanks Matt, now I’ll never get any sleep :D

Chestnuts roasted by Cyanyde @ 03/06/2004 4:16 PM

Great! Now I want old cookies. Time to look in the couch cushions.
