Interlude: Every Real-World Brand Mascot in the Movie
Time for another interlude! Cool, huh? Okay, this admittedly isn't super interesting since it's just a game of "spot the cameo" with characters that are already in the movie, but I felt the need to trek my way through and point out just how many brand mascots (that is, ones based on actual grocery store products) we see in the movie. I'm aware there's already a list like this on Foodfight's Lost Media Wiki page, but it's slightly inaccurate and anyway mine has pictures. So let's do this!
(Sidenote: This doesn't include products that are shown or mentioned throughout the movie but have no notable mascot to speak of. For example, we see Crest toothpaste on the shelves as the store closes, but there's no Crest mascot so I'm not including it)

#1: The Vlasic Stork: Okay so this one is obvious, since he's on the DVD cover and all, he's the first one we see in the whole movie, at around 1:50!
#2: Mr Clean. Again this one's super obvious and notable, I'm just getting all of these for completion's sake. I chose the screenshot of him with sewage on his clothes because I think it's funny.
#3: Mama Celeste. I'm talking about the woman in the foreground in a red dress and a white apron- she just looks like a regular old woman but she's actually the mascot for a bunch of microwavable meals (like Celeste Pizza For One, which a friend of mine says is a very sad pizza for sad lonely men)
#4: Punchy. Not much to say about this one in particular, but it's Punchy, the mascot for Hawaiian Punch. He has no lines but he DOES perform his signature move of offering someone a drink before punching them in the face.
#5: Twinkie The Kid: The mascot for Twinkies, this character appears multiple times throughout the movie, but I'm just including the first time he shows up because it's easier (this is during a crowd scene early on where lots of cameos can be seen)
#6: Spammy. See, I wasn't even aware Spam had a mascot? But apparently they do, and he can be seen right here staring right at you, the person reading this! He's basically just a can of Spam with a face and arms.
#7: The Dinty Moore Lumberjack. The mascot for Dinty Moore stew, he can be seen here waving his hands in the air and being stared at by a rabbi. (The rabbi in question is called Rabbi Kayman in case anyone's wondering, he's an original character created for the movie and is the mascot for a brand of granola bars and cookies. God, I know way too much about this movie)
#8 and #9: Tootsie Roll Owl and Tootsie Roll Man. In the background of the same scene, we can see these two characters. The owl, famous for the "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" commercials, and a walking Tootsie Roll (on the right, he's kinda blurry) who Google tells me is just called Tootsie Roll Man.
#10: The California Raisins. I don't have much to say about these guys, other than that they're the California Raisins. In the scene this screenshot is from, their band is singing a cover of "I Heard it Through The Grapevine" which is cute. Fun fact, they're also one of the only real-world brand mascots from the movie to actually get merchandise too, as there was a plush released of one of the band members! (The only other real-world mascot to get a plush, or indeed any form of merchandise, was Charlie The Tuna. Speaking of...)
#11: Charlie The Tuna. The mascot for Starkist Tuna, he's notable in this movie for being one of the few brand mascots to get actual dialogue . I like his Brooklyn accent, and as mentioned above he's one of only two real-world mascots to get any merchandise released tying in with the movie. There were a whole line of plush toys released- Dex Dogtective, Daredevil Dan (I have this one!), Maximilius Moose, Cheasel the Weasel, Polar Penguin, a California Raisin, and Charlie the Tuna. But the majority of these are the movie's original characters, not mascots for real brands. He's also on the DVD cover! So Charlie the Tuna must be quite the star, getting his own plush and everything... either that or tuna companies typically don't get the chance to sell merchandise based around their canned fish mascot and jumped at the opportunity.
#12: Mrs Buttersworth. One of the few other brand mascots with dialogue, she throws pancakes at the Brand X army at one point and spills a glass of juice on Mr Clean. You have to wonder, with only three or four of these (relatively) popular characters getting speaking roles, if more of them had dialogue but it was cut before the movie was released. Mr Clean is credited as having a voice actor but never talks in the movie. Makes you think, right?
#13: Energizer Bunny. This one is a real "blink and you'll miss it" type cameo in the USDA meeting scene, but this is undoubtedly the Energizer Bunny. (Energizer Batteries also feature in a scene in the real-world grocery store)
#14: Mr Bubble. The mascot for a now-discontinued (as far as I'm aware) brand of bubble bath, Mr Bubble appears multiple times throughout the movie.
#15: Kid Cuisine Penguin. Another "blink and you'll miss it" cameo, the Kid Cuisine Penguin shows up in a few scenes, but he's really hard to spot. It's almost like they don't want you to see him...?
#16: Chef Boyardee. He shows up in a few scenes throughout the movie, and they've made sure to put the Chef Boyardee logo on his uniform because otherwise he just looks like a kinda normal chef.
#17: Hungry-Man. We're really getting into the pits of the cameos now. Hungry-Man is a brand of frozen dinners... but they don't have a mascot. I looked it up, they definitely don't. So for this movie they've created a mascot for Hungry-Man by just taking a regular-looking guy and slapping a shirt that says "Hungry-Man" on him. The only interesting thing about this is it implies that in the world of Foodfight!, even products without mascots in the real world still have an Ike in the Marketropolis world.
#18: Duncan Hines. Okay, last one now. I watched this movie a BUNCH and I had idea who this was supposed to be, only to spot a logo on his apron right towards the end and realize this is supposed to be Duncan Hines. He doesn't look anything like the real-life Duncan Hines (a restaurant critic who definitely does not have a mustache) and as far as I know Duncan Hines cake mix doesn't HAVE a mascot. So for this movie I guess they just...created a mascot that looks nothing like the real-world man the company is named after? Okay FINE.
So all in all that makes 18 cameos from 18 different brand mascots...in a previous post I said there were around 15 and that I'd have to pore through and catalogue them all at some point. And here I am! My guess was surprisingly accurate. A lot of these are so obscure and so easy to miss though, that I'd barely say they even count as cameos. The only real notable ones are the ones that get a shot focusing on them or some actual dialogue, like Charlie Tuna, Twinkie The Kid, Mrs Buttersworth and the Vlasic Stork. It makes sense those are the ones featured on the DVD cover and poster- they're the most recognizable of all these and some of the only actual mascots with a notable role in the plot.
Tumblr media
Sidenote: This particular variation of the DVD cover/poster (the same art is used for both) lists a bunch of cameos featured in the movie. Charlie The Tuna, Vlasic The Stork, Twinkie The Kid, Mr Clean, Mrs Buttersworth, Hawaiian Punchy, California Raisins, Chef Boyardee and...Chiquita Banana?? But the Chiquita Banana lady isn't in this movie at all! I should know, I just spent way too long wading through every second of it trying to pick out every last cameo. So either she was removed very late into production (considering this poster was released in 2012, just before the movie came out) or whoever wrote the text for this poster made a mistake. I genuinely don't know which though? The mystery of this movie really never ends...

#OnThisDay in 1896, the Tootsie Roll was introduced in Brooklyn by inventor Leo Hirshfield who named the candy after his 5-year-old daughter Clara who was often called “Tootsie.”
