The box says “Skate Pocket” but the cookie and the graphics say snowboard. Someone forgot to tell the art director about the wheels. Head on over to Sa ka roulé for larger pics and a bonus shot of some other choco mix drink that isn’t this one.
JF Fullum sent me some pics of the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a while, outside of the hole in Mark’s back yard. It’s a giant chocolate skateboard that his mother gave him for Easter, and mind you, he’s a grown man now, but I’m just jealous. It came from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. so I guess I can cut my mom some slack.
That video of Rob Dyrdek eating it pretty hard while dressed up as a Carls Jr mascott has been making the rounds lately. He’s got some promotional drink cups coming out through Carls Jr, who have also made a donation to the Skate Plaza foundation. This is as good an excuse as any to trot out these old 70’s era collectable skateboard cups from 7-11.

I found these Chupa Chups over on a blog called sa ka woulé which might be French for something I don’t know, but over here in the U.S. we call these things Blow Pops. I’m digging the fact that the skater is dressed up in a suit.
Mandy and Dandy Dude are the official mascots of the Duda foods Dandy brand of oranges. One one side of this bag of clementine oranges, Dandy Dude is taking green skateboard technologies to another level. Unfortunately, Mandy isn’t skating on the other side. When are we finally going to see parity (not pear-ity?) for female mascots in world of extreme food marketing? A tip of the hat to my wife for picking these up at the grocery store.
It’s already been established that Jack in the Box usually has crappy kids meal prizes. This time the bag the meal came in had a skateboarder on it, as well as a few fun facts and a jumble. The other half of the bag had nothing to do with skateboards, and the toy was a small flying disk made to look like the old electronic Simon game. What, is it 2008 or 1978 again?
You’d be amazed what some companies will send you if you just ask them. For example, the recently released Tony Hawk Gummies, a teen multiple vitamin and mineral supplement.
Whether he’s busy shredding the halfpipe, working on his latest video game, touring the country with his Boom Boom HuckJam or making one of his numerous television appearances, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is first and foremost an athlete. And athletes know the importance of good nutrition. However, most of Tony’s fans are boys ages 8 to 16 – not the most nutritionally conscious group around. So, Tony has joined forces with NBTY, Inc., a leading manufacturer of nutritional supplements and children’s vitamins, and created the Tony Hawk HuckJam brand of vitamins. These chewy “gummy” vitamins, shaped like miniature skateboard decks, skateboard wheels and Tony’s signature hawk skull, provide a good source of 11 vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, which bolsters the immune system*, and Vitamin B-12, a major factor in energy metabolism*.
Giant box. Small portion. What else would you expect from a movie theater concession stand. This particular box of gummi bears is several years old, but probably still as fresh as the day it was bought. Engorge or enlarge? Check out the parallel stance on that fat bear. It looks like he’s riding a Techni-Ski. What’s with the target on his shirt?
Hippie dippie tea company Celestial Seasonings is getting in the Extreme!™ kids marketing game with these drink mixes called Go Stix. Sure, they have extra vitamins, and half the sugar of competing products, but they are still meant to be poured into convenience store bottled water, which doesn’t seem “all good” as far as mother earth goes. Hey! What do you call a prehistoric monster that is asleep? Find out after the jump.
Halloween is coming and so far I haven’t seen anything skateboard related outside of this big bag of Dubble Bubble with a skateboarder on it. Dubble Bubble was always a favorite when I was a kid, but damned if that bubble gum doesn’t lose it’s flavor after about two minutes. Still tastes the same though.

I was in high school when a friend turned me onto JFA. He had a sarcastic sense of humor and found JFA’s “Beach Blanket Bongout” to be the most brilliant thing ever. The Valley of the Yakes EP had skatefish on skateboasrds all over it, so that was an instant turn on. Then there the subtleties …
