Many are not going to like this, but SS is joining with Hannaford Supermarkets to have a SS character promote a different apple each month.
There is an activity book and stickers.(for all you collectors)

Does anyone have any pics of these?

Does anyone have the full list?

I actually think that is a really cool idea!

Update

January - Fuji apples with Grover
February - Pink Lady apples with Elmo and Zoe
March - Granny Smith apples with Oscar the Grouch
April - Braeburn apples with Cookie Monster
May - Cameo apples with Ernie
June - Golden Delicious apples with Big Bird

I ended up emailing Hannaford.
I will email them again at the end of June, if no one elsefinds it first.
Now I just have to find out what Cameo apples are in German.

Well, at least they're trying to see if kids will go for cartoon and TV characters shilling healthy foods...

Why would anyone think this is a bad idea?

 

[Drtooth]

I'm guessing the people he was talking about were the ones who are sick of SS's constant health focus.

Not a bad idea, but yeah...cookie monster eating apples = not funny.

 

[Drtooth]

Cookie Monster eating apples not funny? Anything the dude eats is funny, ESPECIALLY Trucks and foam rubber letters.

BTW, I've seen the characters on packages of Strawberries too....
