Strawberry Applesauce

strawberry apple sauce‘Strawberry applesauce’ (APPLE SAUCE IS TWO WORDS) was mentioned by Pete in my previous post about the BK Stacker Quad burgz0r, but I refused to believe it. However, further googling confirms that yes – not only does Strawberry Flavour Apple Sauce exist, but it’s marketed as a HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TO FRIES in Kids Meals! What on God’s Green Earth were they imbibing in the boardroom that day?

1/ Apple sauce tasting like strawberries?! We’re not fooled that it’s even BETTER for you if there are TWO fruits in the title!

2/ Apple sauce tasting like strawberries to go with a BABY CHEESEBURGER or CHICKEN NUGGETS?? Strawberries do… just… not… GO!!

I mean, it’s not like “banana chocolate” flavour, because I can actually imagine bananas being NICE with some chocolate, more like “fillet o fish with banana flavoured blackberry crunchy squirty cheese strings”.

The eleventh GRILLION seal must have opened by now….

    Point of order: this very marketing principle is what lies behind the smoothie boom!

    But they’re not asking you to pour the smoothies all over yr CHIPS!!

    Actually perhaps that is a vision of WHAT IS TO COME!

    However Tom this isn’t claiming to be both a blend of strawberries and apples, this is claiming to something that tastes of strawberries (ie the flavour) but I guess with the supposed “better for you” benefits of the “applesauce” TWO WORDS DAMMIT.

    This reminds me of a Fruits Of The Forest Cider I meant to post. But beyond saying Fruits-Of-The-Forest Cider!!!!, there was little else to say.

    Well Brothers Bar Strawberry + Mental Strength Apple + Regular Strength Apple for starters… do they have any other flavours, eg sardine, burger, quinoa?
