Now in grocery stores you can find Mario Kart Fruit Snacks! But don’t let the “NEW” label on the box fool you. These are actually the exact same fruit snacks I wrote about a few years ago, just with different packaging. But we’ll take a look at these anyway, just because that’s just how I am.

Here is a closer shot of the box. It’s just the same art from the game box, so nothing creative here.

Like I said, these are the same exact shapes from when they were just Super Mario fruit snacks. I took a picture of the top of the box so you could see them all. The actual fruit snacks don’t photograph as well. So you have Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, a Koopa Shell, Star, and Toad. They didn’t even bother putting them in karts or anything. And I hate how they call the Koopa Shell a Koopa Troopa even though it’s just a shell. But I guess that’s being nitpicky. At least Toad is still in there, he’s always been my favorite Mario character, mostly because I use him in the Kart titles. The snacks don’t taste very well to me either. I used to love fruit snacks as a kid, but not so much anymore. I don’t know if it’s an age thing or if they aren’t making them as good as they used to. I think it’s a little of both. Anyway, here is a picture of the top of the box.

The back of the box just had some generic ideas for playing outside, and since it wasn’t Nintendo related, I didn’t take a picture of it. They did change the pouches the snacks come in, though, at least. One has Mario on it and the other has Luigi. So here’s a picture of those:

And that’s it! Nothing new about these fruit snacks at all, but I guess it just shows you how popular Mario Kart is. I wish Kirby or Pac-Man would get their own fruit snacks, so long as they taste better than these! –Cary
