Universal Orlando Resort is "celebrating" the release of the new DreamWorks film "Dog Man" with, well, dog food. And a tennis ball cupcake.
The Ruff Mix Mac and Cheese and Greg the Dog Tennis Ball are available at DreamWorks Imagination Cafe. Discounts do apply to the two dog dishes.
This mix comes in a can just like wet dog food. We would call it more "mac and beef" than "mac and cheese." There isn't much cheese to speak of.
It does look like dog food with some pasta mixed in. The meat smells like cafeteria food and isn't seasoned. There's not bite or spice -- it's just plain meat.
The pasta is curly and cooked well. But we can't recommend this rough ruff mix. The can is cute if you want to go through the effort of cleaning it out and keeping it.
This is a moist vanilla cupcake. It's topped with peanut butter mousse that is smooth and melts. But it can be overpowering if you don't love peanut butter.
It's very sweet. The peanut butter mixed with the jelly filling is good. That almost bumps up the score but there isn't enough jelly.
So it's edible but not life-altering. The hard outer shell also doesn't look that much like a tennis ball, so it's not the kind of Instagrammable treat you might be looking for.
