This weekend I was walking through the health food isle looking for some protein bars and I found something new and interesting: Sharkies.
They seem to be just another variant of those chewy fruit snacks that are produced in all sorts of enticing shapes such as little fruits, power rangers, or hannah montana's face. You know what I'm talking about. Awww yeah. However, these snacky snacks are nutritious. At least that was my deduction after finding them near the protein bars. They could probably put marshmellows in that aisle and I would eat them before every workout. Nothing says bench press like a mouth full of mellows.
(This is not me.)
I got home and decided to give the little suckers a try. Looking over the words on the box (yes, I waited till after buying to do this) I noticed a lot of promising marketing phrases all over the place that were already starting to make me feel better as a person. Let's see, they are... Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, A Natural Source of Electrolytes, and ah yes, whats this.... Vegetarian? What?!?! ...... .... .. I thought I was going to be eating real sharkies here. Once again I have become the victim of misleading advertisements! Seriously though, any sane person would have to assume there were little bits of chopped up, rotting shark flesh embedded in these fruity morsels.
(This is also not me.)
They taste alright. But I wonder if they aren't just snazzed-up, more expensive versions of regular fruit snacks. I probably won't get them again. And this concludes my Sharkies review. I will end now with a real-life example of me eating a Sharkie to prove that I don't just talk the talk, I shark the sharkie. Till next time..... stay classy.
