Sesame Street Apple Sauce is all Wrong

by Steve

The fact that another co-branded line of apple sauces has come out is not "strange". What's strange are the flavor names and colors. They're named after a few Sesame Street characters, but did someone not watch Sesame Street when they were a kid?

"Big Bird Green Apple" - Why is Big Bird associated with green? He's yellow. Maybe he/she (whatever it is) ought to be "lemon apple", or "banana apple", or even "Pineapple Apple".

"Cookie Monster Grape" - Hello? Cookie Monster ate cookies, not grapes! Otherwise he'd be the Grape Monster. It would have been cooler to have chocolate-chip cookie dough apple sauce.

"Elmo Cherry" - Ok, I can understand that one. Elmo is red, cherries are red. But then again, Elmo's a wuss. It would have been more appropriate to have "milk toast apple sauce".

Boy, I can't wait for them to come out with "Kermit the Frog Leg Apple Sauce", or "Snuffleupagus Peanut Apple Sauce", or "Ernie & Bert Quiche Apple Sauce".

Actually, Cookie Monster is no more. He has been changed into the Fruit and Veggie Monster due to cookies aren't exactly in a major food group catagory (being all sugar and/or empty carbs). So, all hail the Produce monster....
(Me still want more cookies)

wouldn't "grover grape" make a lot more sense (and sound better?)

first off i thought the chocolate chip cookie dough applesauce might be a good idea, but what is with milk toast applesauce? that doesnt even make any sense. i thnk you need to stand facing into the corner and thnk about the dumb ideas before you lower everyone elses intelligence anymore! THAT sounds like the best idea i have heard all year.
