    You should have known that ALL superhero movies have merchandise including food merchandise like Twinkies and fruit snacks.

    Yea, they've been doing this forever. I think they used to have Spider-Man* peanut butter.

    This has been around for as long as I can remember.

    *Does not include real spiders or real man. Intentionally.

    I think it's less about lack of marketing awareness and more about it being a setup for the "Twinkie the kid, fifth horseman of the apocalypse" punchline. Which I'm cool with.

    I think maybe somewhere in the basement attic might be my old Spider-Man Web Shooters sitting atop an incomplete collection of DC Comics exculsive to Radio Shack (Major Disaster's plan would have succeeded had he only gone to Radio Shack first).
