Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse - 28 Easter Eggs & References Explained
26. Spidey-Os
Sony
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).
Marvel
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?
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
