While browsing through her local Hy-Vee, Twitter user Mia Johnson stumbled upon a hilarious find: a snack pack featuring apple cheddar cheese, Ritz crackers, and a mini bottle of Fireball. Capturing the moment for her followers, she simply captioned it, “okay Hy-Vee.” If we were to create a time capsule for 2020, it would undoubtedly include essentials like toilet paper, a face mask, hand sanitizer, a vial of tears, one Xanax, and this unique snack tray.
Hy-Vee does offer a platter called the Party Pleasing Snacking Tray, but let’s be honest—how pleasing is it really without Fireball? This little treat is also the perfect size to sneak under your sweatshirt for a cozy escape from family time.
Mia shared with Scary Mommy that she initially overlooked the snack pack but did a double-take upon realizing its comedic value. “I didn’t think anything of it at first, but then I walked about ten feet and turned around to have a good laugh,” she said.
Interestingly, she decided not to buy it. “I didn’t purchase it because I’m not a Fireball drinker, and I stand by that choice,” she joked, “but I do hope someone else snagged it and found it useful.” She even mentioned how fun it is to think about who that person might be. (Spoiler: It’s me!)
Though the cracker-to-cheese ratio is a tad off, once you indulge in Fireball, you probably won’t mind. Pair it with some Fireball eggnog for an ideal pre-holiday treat—breakfast or dinner, who’s judging?
Fireball is a beloved choice at tailgates, college parties, and, as my partner informs me, golf outings. With current pandemic restrictions keeping us at home, it’s only fitting to enjoy it in the comfort of our own space. Thanks to Hy-Vee, we can now do just that.
The size of the tray is just right (too small to share), so make sure to pace yourself throughout the day. Mia expressed her surprise at how quickly her find gained traction online. “Even though 260 likes isn’t a huge deal, it’s a pretty significant reach for my account,” she noted.
It seems she may have unearthed a hidden treasure in the aisles of this popular Midwestern grocery store, and I suspect demands for this delightful trio will spread fast in the days to come.
