Deadpool gets even weirder with sour gummie ‘TinyHands’

Promotional items and movies go hand in hand, or in the case of “Deadpool 2,” hand in tiny hand. The merc with a mouth, known for shattering the fourth wall in comics and on screen, is getting his own candy. And it’s weird, even by Trolli standards. Gummie-product gurus Trolli will roll out Sour Brite TinyHands exclusively at 7-11, starting on May 7. (The movie starring Ryan Reynolds hits theaters in the U.S. on May 18.) For reference: In the original movie, Deadpool chops off his left hand to messily escape from one of the X-Men. Luckily, his regenerative powers help grow a new hand, but it starts small. Really, really small. Here’s a closer look at the candy, as well as a tongue-in-cheek message from Deadpool: Deadpool’s gummie TinyHands are one of the more unusual movie tie-ins, but we’ll let you decide if any of these are weirder: •…

Pixar’s upcoming new short film is about a dumpling

Pixar via Twitter

It’s been 14 years since The Incredibles first hit theaters, and the long-awaited sequel is finally about to premier this summer. As exciting as the release of a new Pixar film is, there’s another part of the Pixar moving-going experience that we look forward to just as much: the short film. The Incredibles 2 will run after new short film Bao, a seven-and-a-half-minute short film about an empty-nested Chinese-Canadian woman who gets a chance to be a mother again when one of her handmade dumplings comes to life. The heart-warming tale is also the first Pixar short film to be directed by a woman. Domee Shi, the only child to Chinese immigrants, shared her inspiration for the story with Entertainment Weekly. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg9DpX-l6D8/?utm_source=ig_embed “Often times it felt like mom would treat me like a precious little dumpling, wanting to make sure I was safe, that I didn’t go out late, all that stuff,” Shi…

To commemorate Disney California Adventure’s new Guardians of the Galaxy ride, the park created a special menu for the Summer of Heroes celebration. The large $9 sourdough Baby Groot-shaped bread was the first epic item to take off. The character-inspired bread is baked fresh at Disney California Adventure’s Boudin Bakery, and using black olives for eyes and jalapeño cheddar for hair, looks just like the lovable on-screen character. But it’s the glowing Infinity-Ade drink that is popping up all over Instagram now. At $8, the lavender lemonade comes with a glow cube that you can save all use at home all summer. Reportedly, you can choose your own “stone” color. One fan wrote of the new non-alcoholic drink, “[It] is a lavender lemonade with a sugar/ lavender rim. You can choose your “infinity stone” aka the color setting of the glow cube,” and gave it a high recommendation. Another reviewer…

Candy is the most wanted Valentine’s Day gift with a full 94% of Americans hoping to receive chocolate for Valentine’s Day—more than any other gift.
