Those fruits snacks of the "fleshy" variety always make me gag just looking at them.

Second! I love it!

I occasionaly find myself babysitting a few kids late at night while their mother goes off to shoot some juice with her girlfriends. I don’t have to make them dinner, but I am capable of giving them a late-night snack.

However, all they have in the kitchen are ten thousand boxes of different brands of fruit snacks. Toy Story, Winnie-The-Pooh, Fruit Rollups, generics, you name it, they have it. Every… single… kind of fruit snack. Every single one.

I’m sick of fruit snacks.

Well, except these. These never get old.

I’m sad. I was never really into fruit snacks. Maybe I should start… And Matt? Can’t we please have a new survey? Naturally, something Halloween-related…

6th! Personal best! Woot! I have nothing else to say!

Okay, I give in, I suppose I’ll add to the favorite death scenes list. In the movie Blood Dolls, a man is killed by his sado-masochistic wife in a very…naughty…contraption constructed of a large frame and a web of constricting wires. This movie is an absolute must-see for anyone who enjoys watching deadly dolls …and midgets.

I LOVE fruit snacks.

Hey Matt, have you ever thought about putting your articles together and publishing them in a book? I think it would be a big hit.

My fave fruit snack from back in the day was something called Tootie Fruit. The fruit snack "log" featured two flavors at once. It had a more firm outer shell and a really soft middle of a different flavor. I don’t know if anyone remembers these but they were around in the mid to late 80′s possibly early 90′s. I can’t find anything on the on the web. Hopefully no one thinks i’m just crazy.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention the Farley Fruit Snacks rock too. They are even softer than gummi bears and taste better. yummmmmm……

Is there anything closer on our planet to the nectar of the Gods, I ask you, is there anything closer than the venerated fruit snack?

They’re delicious. They’re (usually) good for you (but not Gushers… if fruit snacks were drugs, Gushers are crack-stay away!). They come in individual packages (that’s a definite plus… I hate to admit this, but I can remember several times I’ve just decided not to eat when I have dozens of cans of canned food in my dorm room).

But you know what? Life has a way of teasing you into happiness, into hope, into trust, and then pulling the goddamn rug out from under you at JUST the right speed so you make exactly half a revolution in the air before falling on your damn head. I’ll probably find out tomorrow that fruit snacks cause cancer.

People tell me I borrow trouble. I mean really, what does THAT mean?

Matt, you’re the motherfuckin’ Adonis of comedy. I just took time out from outlining French Industrial Revolution (in French) and your cookie article (complete with my all-time favorite Gary Coleman’s safety video) really justified my boring night.

Are you single?

…j/k

I like the idea of an X-Entertainment book…

Chestnuts roasted by Nephets @ 10/15/2004 2:36 AM

Mmm. I expected more comments by now. Those snacks look good. I’ll have to keep an eye out.

Chestnuts roasted by Komichi @ 10/15/2004 6:58 AM

Did anybody mention Gogo’s death from Kill Bill. Cause it’s pretty rockin’.

Chestnuts roasted by D @ 10/15/2004 7:39 AM

So…Gushers are still around then? Because I definitely remember eating a LOT of those as a kid…as I watched AAH! Real Monsters! Those were the days.

Chestnuts roasted by 1drland @ 10/15/2004 8:30 AM

you can get boo-berry cereal off of general mills website. boo-berry is much better than fruit snacks. who wants fruti snacks anyways? I want fliet, shrimp and lobster for a snack and spongebob ice cream with hot caramel on it for dinner. The two presidential candidates are jokers – please vote Mr. T for president!!

I’m particularly impressed by the detail on each fruit snack. You have to admire the fact that you won’t have to consult the key on the box to figure out what it looks like it was most trying to be.
On a personal note, I still mourn the loss of what I feel was the holy trinity of fruit snacks: Fruit Roll-Ups, Fruit Bars, and Fruit Wrinkles. Though the roll-ups are still around, they’re only a shadow of their former selves. They come in, what, two flavors now? Pitiful…

My favorite fruit snacks have to be Gushers, just because they are SO not made of natural juices, but rather that liquid candy you can find on the counter rack at Rite Aid.
They’re like candy disguised as good food. The parent gets their child Gushers and wonders why later the kid is flying off the walls.

Chestnuts roasted by AngeFaitore @ 10/15/2004 8:48 AM

Anyone mentioned Old Yeller yet? Killed me as a kid when the kid had to shoot his own dog. Animal deaths are like that in movies, especially dogs for some reason. Even Turner and Hooch will give me a little lump in my throat.

Tell the theme song to Mr. Belvedere to stop singing in my HEAD!!!!!!

One of the most creative deaths I’ve seen is at the beginning of the sci-fi movie Cube where someone is basically diced into the shape of ice cubes by a laser grid. Not very gory but good.

Why do people respond to surveys more than the actual articles? I guess we’re survey-crazy.

I would include either of DVD or CD-ROM with the X-entertainment book with the commercials, movie clips, tv clips, and music videos. I got the Greatest Tv moments book with a DVD and CD and it’s awesome. Same goes for the wrestlemania book released a few years ago.

The only problem I see is that wouldn’t Matt have to get permission to publish with the photos needed? Or are they public domain since it’s a sorta satire ala Mad magazine.

Speaking of Halloween and Nickelodion, does anyone remember the contest they used to do called "Nick-or-Treat?" They would call you and you were supposed to say that to win prizes and play a matching-type game. There was also the Tv show "Are you Afraid of the Dark." that was pretty good.

Remember when R.L Stine was mega popular-in the eaarly to mid 90′s with Goosebumps and later Fear Street? There were even tv shows on them. I liked those things.

I guess I’m chatty today.

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 10/15/2004 11:06 AM

They have brought back Nick or Treat! You go to the Nick WebSite, sign up, and wait by your phone. Like in the days of yore, you answer each call with "Nick or Treat!" to win. Woo-hoo! Another icon of the holidays comes shambling back from the dead! Blorgh!

Mr. T eats steak and eggs!
