@cavale – Totally – I would be very angry if I were these ladies and they manufactured profiles of my “not so good side”.

@yvo, @andrea – yes, hard to believe that was 20 years ago! We were in high school when that came out. Haven’t been together for 20 years, and married for only 10, but that’s a Disney tale for another day =)

@orchid – I always wonder whether I should give them credit that they at least minimally try, or lambast them for corporate greed. Leaning toward the latter, but then I wouldn’t be able to write fun reviews like this…

@tim – I would buy Disney Pepto Bismal in a HEARTBEAT! So much to write about that.

@ew – Ariel IS kinda hot – but after they started cloning her “innocent wide-eyed mute joy” expression for all the Disney movies that followed, I sorta lost interest.

@wanda – wait, there’s Spiderman Spaghettios!?

Thanks for the chuckle.

Isn’t this just a sign of the times though – churn out unappetizing food, shove it in a can and try to convince everyone that they really should eat it because the Disney Princesses or Spiderman or whatever endorse it.

And although there are lots of people who wont be sucked into buying this product, there are many who will succumb to the pressure of their kids – to whom of course the packaging is aimed at.

Once again, thanks for the chuckle.
Cheers

If it wasn’t for the chart on the can I never would have known what they were.

Also, Ariel is a hottie. Jasmine too.

Ick. The Disney Princess Cult is now spreading to the grocery store shelves. The color pink is forever associated with Pepto Bismal, and I for one wouldn’t want to eat anything from a package sporting that horrendous hue.

Princess Spaghettios. There’s a joke in there somewhere but this early in the morning, I’m not finding it! Ariel did get a bit squished. I have to give them credit for the shapes even if they do seem a bit strange. :p

20years, dang how long have you all been together?! That’s fabbo!

Wow, those shapes are impressively lame! I guess it was tough to recreate them in pasta, but still!

LOL omg I started cracking up reading the editor’s note and when I read “that was like 20 years ago” my face screwed up angrily and I thought “that was NOT f*cking 20 years ago, I was in 4th grade!” and then I realized I turn 29 this year so that makes it 20 years ago and now I’m all sad that I can’t leave an indignant response about how you can’t do math because I am not that old… sigh.
