Turboranger Sausage

I don't understand my fascination with licensed character meat snack commercials, but fortunately there's an abundance of them to be fascinated by. I've also learned that without spell check, I cannot spell fortunately. This commercial for said meat snack features the heroes of Kousoku Sentai Turboranger selling snack sausages. It's pretty standard fair as far as these things go. Action footage with voice over with a shot of the Red Ranger holding a box.  

It's the very end of the commercial that really grabs my attention. Inside each box is a randomly packed Turboranger keshi toy! I don't know if they were the same from capsule machines or brand new figures for this promotion, but that's the kind of thing I go nuts for. I do wonder just how tasty the sausages are? I like meat snacks as is, but the ones here look more like Vienna sausages compared to the Jack Links jerky sticks I normally buy.

Pour one out for Beast Wars Sausages

 Beast Wars Sausages, you were too good for this world. 

I'll never let you go, Transformer meat snacks

It was sometime in college when I first became aware of Beast Wars Sausages. Being the 90's, I didn't have the useless ability to acquire snack food from around the world at the snap of my finger. I mean, the stuff I take for granted that I do with my phone was not even imaginable then. The most I could do then was wait for a geo cities page to load and hope the guy I sent a a money order to came through.

So of course now that getting amazing Beast Wars Sausages would be easy, they are no longer made. I'm pretty sure meat snack makers are latched onto something else.

In the world of Transformers, everyone has holy grail items. Mine are usually stupid.
