A new movie inevitably means new tie-in food, especially at a theme park operated by a studio hoping to cash in on its latest release. The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters this week and is therefore in its prime time for this kind of marketing. We’ve all seen and/or shuddered at the blue Pop-Tarts, the questionable Little Caesars pizza, and the blue milk—but Disney Parks has just entered the chat with its own color-coordinated munchies.
The top image seen here is the most startling item by far. Disney Parks Blog offers a description much milder than the visual. Behold the “Fantastic Elastic Mozzarella Stick,” an edible homage to Reed Richards’ stretchy powers. There’s no mention of which ingredient goes into making its exterior that particular hue, but Mister Fantastic’s severed limb does come with a side of sour cream and onion ranch.
You can find the mozzarella stick at Pym’s Test Kitchen at Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus, which also happens to be home to the other notable menu item: “Invisible Indulgence,” a nod to Sue Storm, described as “clear lemon pie with a shortbread crust, whipped cream, and meringue pieces.” Would you call this clear? Close enough?
You’ll have to head to Disneyland Paris to get a Johnny Storm-specific item: a mocktail (one of many new, specialty Fantastic Four drinks) called the “Flame On” (what else?) that’s made with “mango nectar, lime drink, Paragon Timur Berry flavor cordial, cinnamon roll flavor, blood orange syrup, and Sprite.”
But back in Disneyland, you can salute the Thing at multiple food outlets by picking up the “Clobberin’ Sipper” to efficiently clobber your thirst and maybe your little brother if he gets out of line:
These limited-time offerings arrive July 24 to ride the wave of Fantastic Four: First Steps hype; head to the Disney Parks Blog to see what’s coming to Disneyland Resort (other than the above, nothing notably blue or invisible), Disneyland Paris (mostly drinks), and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (just a popcorn cup).
