Super fruity Bonkers fruit candy makes a big hit

The first use of “Nabisco” was in a cracker brand first produced by National Biscuit Company in 1901.

Super Hero fights for Super Tide

Tide is the name of a popular laundry detergent on the market in the United States, Canada and other countries like Morocco. It is manufactured by Procter & Gamble. First introduced in test markets in 1946 with national distribution reached in 1949, Tide was touted as “America’s Washday Favorite.” It quickly gained dominance in the detergent market, dwarfing the sales of other P&G products, such as Ivory Snow, as well as the competition from Rinso. The latter two were soap products. Originally, Tide was a white powdered solid, but the brand line was later expanded to include a liquid form, an orange-tinted clear fluid; today, liquid Tide is generally a darkish blue color.

Snap Crackle Pop makes the world go round

Rice Krispies (called Rice Bubbles in Australia) is a brand of breakfast cereal that has been produced by Kellogg’s since 1928. They are made of rice grain which is cooked, dried and toasted. These kernels bubble and rise in a manner which forms very thin walls. When the cereal is exposed to milk or juices, these walls tend to collapse suddenly, creating the famous “Snap, crackle and pop” sounds. This is in contrast to puffed rice, which was introduced in 1904.

Snap, Crackle and Pop! are the cartoon mascots of Kellogg’s breakfast cereal Rice Krispies (Rice Bubbles in Australia).

Spongmonkeys love the Quizno Subs

Quiznos Sub is a fast-food sandwich franchise that specializes in toasted submarine sandwiches. As of 2005, it is the second-largest submarine sandwich shop chain in North America, passing the older and slower-growing Blimpie, though still a fraction of the size of Subway.

In early 2004 the Spongmonkeys began appearing in television advertisements for Quizno’s Subs singing an altered version of their song called “We Love the Subs.” One commercial featured the oft-imitated line “they got a pepper bar,” referring to the self-serve assortments of peppers that are a Quizno’s selling point. The comments on the commercials were mixed, and a few months later the commercials stopped airing.
