There’s a brand new swamp deal with at Common Studios Orlando’s newly opened Dreamworks Land and it pays homage to Shrek within the weirdest, most unhinged manner. It’s a pretzel within the form of Mike Myers’ ogre face impressed by the hit fairytale parody franchise—a “Shrekzel,” because it’s grow to be recognized on-line by theme park foodies—and we needed to get it.
See, a part of the job of a theme park correspondent is to strive the synergy-driven treats and drinks rolled out to tie into the films and tv. We’ve tried the great and the unhealthy—whether or not it’s a Star Wars ration, Halloween Horror Nights spooky deal with, a Muppets Lab inexperienced pickle milkshake (hundred yard stare), and on this case, the Shrekzel… which comes full with inexperienced ear slime cheese as pictured under. Brace your self for a leap scare:
It’s so disturbing to have a look at since you begin to surprise if Donkey went on an ogre bloodbath (ogre-ssacre?) after snapping in the future, and Dragon went all Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd with him. It astoundingly seems just like the peeled face of beloved hero and pop Shrek! Did issues go all Home of the Dragon? Critically, it’s like they deep-fried the ogre’s face and dipped it within the ear wax. The place are Fiona and the youngsters? Did the Greens lose?
Canon hypothesis apart, the Shrekzel is the scale of a masks, as you’ll be able to see. As for that inexperienced slime cheese accompaniment, it was was a reduction to find it had extra of a milky consistency than plastic neon inexperienced cheese—however it did look a bit just like the pea-colored snot you get from being actually sick. For those who don’t give it some thought too exhausting, it’s good for theme park cheese, making the salted pretzel slimy but satisfying.

Total, the Shrekzel is your normal baked amusement park fare—and don’t fear, it doesn’t style like onions in any respect, although Dreamworks Land ought to take into account including a variant with the flavour to honor Shrek’s emotional layers. Although one individual might end it, it’s positively the form of theme-park snack made for sharing; at Common Studios Florida, the place there’s so many cinematic themed meals, you don’t need to simply replenish on bread. Go away room for the numerous different enjoyable treats across the park too, just like the desserts on the Summer time Blockbuster tribute retailer impressed by motion pictures like Again to the Future, E.T., and Jaws. We didn’t get to strive these because of Shrek’s deep fried face, however subsequent time we’ll you’ll want to eat E.T.

The vibe of the Shrekzel is deranged and price getting for the imagery alone. It suits the unserious parody nature of the franchise, as a nightmarish-looking different to the lovable mouse face pretzels on the different Orlando parks. Discover the Shrekzel and extra cinematic treats at Common Studios Orlando this summer time!
