Strawberry-flavored string cheese is now something you can buy
The 90s were amazing. Flannel shirts, Spice Girls and all the chemically-enhanced, prepackaged snacks a kid could ever want.
But that era ended. It's done and no matter how many times jelly shoes are trendy, it's not coming back.
Somebody should probably give the message to Cow Candy's fruit flavored string cheese.
Yep, the cheese company is selling string cheese inspired by classic 90s tv characters like Pinkie Pie (My Little Pony) and Optimus Prime (Transformers). That branding isn't the outlandish part. The outlandish part is that the string cheese is flavored like strawberry, grape or fruit punch.
Impressively, the fluorescent Monterey Jack cheese sticks apparently contain only natural flavors and colorings and four grams of protein per stick.
Though this might have some initial appeal with your kids or your (very) drunk roommate, initial consumer reviews have been less than complimentary.
Then again, people drank Orbitz, so there is hope for this snack.
