The Takeover

Yesterday I went on my monthly grocery shopping excursion. I usually go to Target because I like their Archer Farms brand and the grocery section is spacious, clean and I know where everything is. When I was in the produce section, I grabbed my few essential veggies/fruits (for those technical people out there): spinach leaves, onions, potatoes and tomatoes. Since the tomato selection was looking a bit out of season, I opted for a little carton of cherry tomatoes. I briefly examined the contents of the carton and threw it in my cart.

When I got to the checkout line and was unloading my items onto the conveyor belt, I found something very disturbing on my tomatoes... Vanessa Hudgens' face.

If you don't know who that is, she is one of the stars of the High School Musical Franchise (also the gf of Zac Efron. Let's pretend I didn't just write about that).
Apparently, Disney has released its own line of High School Musical produce. W T F.

I thought I just grabbed a simple carton of cherry tomatoes, but alas, I am now the proud owner of some High School Musical brand "Pom Pom Toms"... GO WILDCATS GO! (Also on the label.)

What's next? Hannah Montana Bananas? They probably already have those, now that I think of it.

At least they are marketing healthy produce to children instead of things like cigarettes and slutty clothing. ....Oh wait.....

  1. You're wayyy behind the curve. Rachael Ray has been invading my snack time day in and day out going on four years now. Shame on you, delicious Ritz Crackers.

  2. I don't get what HSM (yeah, I abbreved it) has to do with tomatoes. However, I enjoy their enthusiastic expressions.
    Also, if you will notice in the upper left-hand corner, it is produced in Indianapolis. No surprise there.

  3. A bag of cherries might be more apropos. And it would come with some sort of long phallic rod to pop them. HIGH SCHOOL!
