Branding WIN

It's not just any microwave popcorn, it's Toy Story Microwave Popcorn.

Toy Story Popcorn!

Our parents gave this as a birthday present to our younger cousin (he's like, 3), because, like every boy that age, he's completely obsessed with every thing that's remotely related to Toy Story. Don't get us wrong, we love Toy Story. We always have, and could actually recite the ENTIRE 1st movie (including music themes and sound effects) by heart. We completely approve of his obsession.

Now, the popcorn container is a little crazy, but not the worst thing. I mean, we understand wanting to express yourself while watching a movie. It's kind of like a bumper sticker.

But the little pack of popcorn? Ridiculous! There's no difference between the taste or quality of the popcorn (if anything, it'll be worse than the non-Toy Story stuff)!

We're not actually sure what we're more astounded about: That this is being sold, or that people buy it! (sigh) To quote the Wicked Witch, "What a worlddd!"

P.S. BONUS:

Artificially Flavored!

That makes it much better.
