Scarrots
Bogleech.com's Halloween Collecting Blog 2010:
SIGHTED: Wal-Mart
I'm really, really torn here. On one hand, this is the most appealing packaging carrots
have ever had, and the monster carrot mascots are so precious it
hurts. On the other
hand, this attempt to market crunchy vegetables as an alternative to candy feels strangely
insulting. "Eat 'em like junk food?" Who are they fooling? Maybe after dunking them in
chocolate frosting, or something. The glow in the dark tattoos are the only thing most kids
might find vaguely acceptable, but I'm guessing they're glow in the dark tattoos of carrots,
which would just get most of them bullied the next school day.
