Considering Wally West’s favorite cereal is canonically Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs (a 1990s-era Calvin & Hobbes reference), this seems appropriate.

The Flash Drink Recipe
Way back in 2009, when Speed Force hit 500 posts, my wife invented a Flash drink to celebrate. With the Flash TV Show premiering tonight, and Flash TV Talk posting their drink ideas, it seemed like a good time to repost our recipe:
Recipe: Flash Drink
- 4 oz Izze Pomegranate soda (or other red soda that goes well with cranberry)
- 2 oz cranberry juice cocktail
- 2 oz vodka (for non-alcoholic version, replace this with more cranberry juice)
- 1 Lemon
- Peel zest from entire lemon in one long spiral with vegetable peeler.
- Cut jagged bits into lemon peel to give it a zig-zag or lightning bolt look.
- Cut lemon peel strip in half crosswise (use one half for each of two drinks).
- Mix all liquid ingredients cold and pour into glass.
- Place lemon peel decoratively in glass.
Ideally, you should have something else you can use the rest of the lemon for.
Enjoy!
Flash Cakes and the Flash Fury
Remember those Hostess Flash Cakes? Shannon writes in:
Just thought I would share with you, we were in our local store and found Flash Cakes awhile back (we haven’t found them since though), and loved the whole idea. My boyfriend, Joe, is an Indy wrestler for RCW (a few others as well) and goes by the name Flash Fury. When we found the cakes on the shelf, he grabbed up a box up did a little pose with them for a picture, our friends at the wrestling shows love the picture. We are hoping to find more Flash cakes to take with us to the shows. We love them!
Great story, Shannon! Thanks for sharing!
More Flash and GL Cupcakes!
Jeff sent in these photos of the Flash and Green Lantern cupcakes his partner made for his birthday last year.
Instead of frosting, the symbols were made by cutting out and layering fondant.
Now THESE are Flash Cupcakes!
When I showed my wife the photos of the Flash Cakes and GLO Balls, the first thing she said was, “You realize I have to make these now, right?”
Here’s how she describes them on the Flickr photo page:
Chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow-creme filling, decorated with the Flash logo. Made on an informal dare after the discovery of Hostess “Flash Cakes,” which are simply frosted in red with yellow sprinkles. I will not, however, be making a real-food version of the Green-Lantern-themed “Glo Balls.”
They also happen to taste fantastic!
Flash Cakes & GLO Balls from Hostess (Who Else?)
Rickey Purdin’s discovery of Green Lantern GLO-Balls in the supermarket has been making the rounds of comics blogs this week, but he spotted another super-hero-themed snack at the same time: Flash Cakes.
OK, so the name doesn’t amuse the inner twelve-year-old. But it does call to mind those 1970s Hostess ads in which super-heroes, the Flash included, defeated villains with the power of Twinkies. Usually they were low-rent villains like the Bureauc-Rat, Destroyer, Medusa and Dr. Sorcery, but occasionally real villains like Mirror Master or the Penguin.
They’re also surprisingly close to convincing me to buy Hostess cupcakes for the first time in a decade, and I’m married to someone who can make considerably better cupcakes in her sleep. (Of course, she’d probably draw the Flash symbol on the top, rather than simply toss yellow sprinkles onto the red frosting.) Update: She did!
Oh, for the record:
