12 Weirdest Pieces Of Movie Merchandise Ever Created
10. Shrek-Themed Twinkies
Namedropped in the likes of Die Hard, Family Guy and Zombieland
and thought to be capable of surviving any apocalypse that may befall our sweet
planet, Twinkies are the quintessential American candy.
It’s quite natural then that the fabled Twinkie would one day become entwined with a popular movie franchise. That day came in 2004 when Twinkie manufacturers Hostess teamed up with the people behind Shrek 2 to come up with the Shrek Twinkie, crammed with ‘ogre green creamy filling’. Yummers.
Call us squeamish but even without the ogre ejaculate connotations that instantly come to mind, the thought of consuming a ‘green creamy filling’ doesn’t exactly get our tummies rumbling. Neither Hostess nor the makers of Shrek learned the lesson that their product tie-in sounded !*$% disgusting though because they teamed up again in 2010 with the release of Shrek Forever After.
