So, to the untrained eye, Spidey-O's probably look like a breakfast product that've been created specifically for this film. However, that's not actually the case at all, as Spidey-O's were indeed a thing, and were released to coincide with the animated series from the nineties (y'know - the one with the Aerosmith theme).

Okay, so, it wasn't actually called Spidey-O's, but it did exist and contained little marshmallow-y pieces based on characters and shapes from the wall-crawler's comics. We wouldn't suggest trying to track a box down for your own consumption, of course, but still, they are real!

Sadly, the web-slinger has never released a Christmas album. But Marvel should totally get on that right now, shouldn't they?
