Jackpot!

Every day I get a snack for morn­ing break, tra­di­tion­ally it is 4 or 5 cook­ies (Nut­ter­but­ters, Oreos,etc.), but every once in a while I will push the enve­lope. This is one of those times, this week I have Nilla Cak­sters, and here is why:

I wasn’t inter­ested in Oreo Cakesters after the first com­mer­cial I saw, some­thing to do with a board­ing school lunch table and a rumor has it style word­play. But when I first saw that lit­tle kid look­ing in his lunch box and shout­ing “Jack­pot!” I was intrigued. The Nilla Cakesters are sur­pris­ingly pretty good. I have even tried the Oreo ver­sion and they are not that bad either. They will prob­a­bly both get added into the nor­mal snack rotation.

While search­ing for the Nilla Cakester com­mer­cial I found a post on a SFGate.com blog for par­ents of babies and tod­dlers call Poop about kids pro­vid­ing catch­phrases for fam­i­lies with their mala­propisms. The com­mer­cial is men­tioned in one of the com­ments. If you have the time, give the post and the plethora of com­ments a read, very amus­ing. My favorite is “Holy Trap!” which is not funny at all until get the setup and the phrase uttered right after it.

We also use the phrase “holy trap!” because one year our youngest looked in his trick or treat bag and pro­claimed, “Holy trap! There’s tons and tons of tandy torn!”
