Wow, the last post on here turned out to be prophetic. I found out on Wednesday that the Toys ‘R’ Us in Times Square was hosting a special version of the Midnight Madness event — the night where toy stores across the country open their doors at 12 AM to give Star Wars nuts first dibs on all the new Revenge of the Sith merchandise. I’m sure a few of you attended the event in your area, but at this particular TRU, it wasn’t just about toys — it was about costumed M&M’s dressed as Star Wars characters, giant Darth Taters and enough “real” Stormtroopers to take down the city. Quite a night we had — check out the four page report!
So yes, the Sith-craze has officially begun. The stuff is just everywhere. We’ve covered similar phenomena when Shrek 2 and The Hulk came out, but it’s a little different this time, since I actually, you know, like Star Wars. I’ll review as much of the crap as time allows, but let’s start with a big one: tongue-coloring Star Wars Cheetos!
Yes, “Cheetos Twisted” snacks, all dolled up for Revenge of the Sith. Apparently, food companies at large were simultaneously handed research results proving that kids across the world are more inclined to eat things filled with dried food coloring…thus, the Cheetos turn one’s tongue either “Yoda Green” or “Darth Vader Dark.” Incredible. They’ve even got Chester wearing the black helmet and swinging a lightsaber on the package, along with a few other images the serve the church of sacreligion.
Illustrated above, moisture makes the cheesy twirls let go of their inner secret colors, staining everything they touch either green or black. What fun! Though I’m sure many will buy these for the novelty factor, I don’t think every kid at school’s gonna want a lunchtime snack that makes their mouth area look so dirty. As if Cheetos didn’t leave enough messy residue already.
That’s all for now — if you participated in any of the midnight events or hit the stores over the weekend, let us know what you picked up! I plan on hitting TRU everyday till I land myself a red Royal Guard. Disgustingly, I’m pretty excited about doing that.
