Have you ever noticed how much innovation goes down in the food industry?
First there were 100 calorie packs that revolutionized our urge to devour entire boxes of [name your favorite] snacks. Then there were chefs nationwide telling us delicious bacon was not only for breakfast, it was also a savory addition to our favorite desserts (like the bacon chocolate chip cookie to your left there). Many, many thanks to that genius. Any reason to eat bacon is welcomed.
New about to come out are Cheetos the size of ping pong balls (not good for beer bong) and Oreo's that are shaped as straws to sip milk through call Fun Stix.
Check out the explanation behind the giant Cheetos and Oreos Fun Stix in this article, "Don't worry, buy happy: Cheerful stuff is selling well" by USA Today. Supposedly in this economic climate, it's the little stuff that makes the everyday person happy and thus sells well. The article mentions that when we're stressed, we revert back to the things that comforted us as kids. I must either stay stressed or I'm still a kid because Oreos never stopped comforting me in the first place. Just saying.
Anyway, I wonder what's next? Maybe a gummy bear edible doll house so I can play with my gummy bears before I eat them. Then I would really revert back to being a kid. Ok, maybe not.
