Anime NYC is always a highlight of the fall convention season, spanning four days of panels, screenings, and an overwhelming array of exhibitors and fan experiences. This year, however, my time on the show floor was limited to the Thursday evening preview, since I flew out the next morning for a long-planned San Diego vacation. That meant I had just a few hours to explore before the weekend crowds rolled in, and I knew I’d need to be selective with what I chose to cover.

Spotted at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show, these wildly whimsical Freeze Dried Candy Clusters from High Snack are a technicolor dream of sugary delight — and they just so happen to be perfectly pink (and the little warrior characters on the bag? Insanely cute). These fluffy, crunchy morsels look like cereal marshmallows got a glam makeover, complete with tiny golden sprinkles and an unapologetically artificial hue. In the realm of foods clearly not found in nature, this treat earns top marks. Sweet, crunchy, and impossible to ignore — just like all our favorite Pink Things.
