Our Thoughts

My kids L.O.V.E. Pirate's Booty every time I go grocery shopping I have to purchase at least one if not two bags of it. They love taking it with them to school as a healthy snack or just having it in place of popcorn during a movie night. Pirate's Booty is delicious and it's a healthy alternative for the kids. Even my husband and I enjoy eating it with the kids on occasion! 

The Marvel Avengers theme is a great addition to Pirate's Booty! My kids went absolutely APE over the theme. All I could hear out of them was, "I'm Hulk", "No, I'm Ironman!" The argument over which Avenger the kids are is quite funny. It's a treat that the kids appreciate and love, especially when it comes to the theme bags!
