Hostess Grizzly Chomps

Hostess released Grizzly Chomps in 1991, sprinkle topped cupcakes marketed as ninety seven percent fat free and fronted by a bear mascot named Grizzly B, whose tagline promised he'd take the first bite so kids could finish the rest. The product didn't last past its debut year, and it later earned a spot in the Museum of Failure as an example of a product that didn't connect with consumers despite a memorable mascot.
