Scrabble Cheez-Its
Your favorite cheese snack multiplied by your favorite nerdy wordy board game. Kellogg launched Cheez-It Scrabble Junior in January, and it's supposedly hitting shelves nationally. No clue why it refers to the munchkin version of the game, but it's still a good day to be a wordsmith with the munchies. [via Endless Simmer]

As a word geek (and former professional wordsmith) and foodie, I'm loving this idea! Perhaps Scrabble Jr. is featured so as to appeal to kids--the target demographic for Cheez-Its--and their parents in an attempt to stem the tide of text-message spelling? One can only hope.

I keep hoping to find these in Canada.

I see this and imagine a permanently orange stained scrabble board and sticky letter racks.

refers to the "munchkin" version of the game cuz its marketed to kids. like a lot of other things that are educational foods. (alpha-bit, alphabet soup, etc)

I can imagine me reaching into the bottom of the box and finding Q, S and G and having to run to the store for a new box so I could make a word before I ate them.

I think maybe it's called Scrabble Junior because they resemble the letter tiles in that game vs. the ones in regular Scrabble that have numbers on them showing letter values.
