Has there ever been any long-lasting snack associated with a movie release? Other than Willy Wonka candies, perhaps? (Which reminds me--my class action lawsuit over the Everlasting Gobstopper, which is NOT anything like the movie version, is still ongoing).
Here we have a perfectly good classic snack, the Twinkie, being altered to promote a mediocre film. But at least they chose a flavor that doesn't completely ruin the experience. I like lime in general, and key lime pie in particular, but the flavor here is very weak. It's more like Hostess took a spoonful of lime Kool-aid and mixed it into the creme filling.
The visual is less disgusting than I expected, as it is more guacamole-colored than florescent green slime-colored, so that's not even a selling point for kids wanting to gross out their friends or parents. In the end, it is just a Twinkie with a hint of lime. Definitely not bold enough...even if you drink a bottle of Ecto-Cooler with it.
RATING: 3/5
