Fruity Oaty Bars
From The Firefly and Serenity Database
- "Fruity Oaty Bars, make a man out of a mouse. Fruity Oaty Bars, make you bust out of your blouse"
- ―Advertisement, shown in the Maidenhead[src]
Fruity Oaty Bars are a manufactured foodstuff. A video advertisement for them is seen in Serenity.
The advertisement shown in the Maidenhead was just one of many carriers for a subliminal Alliance signal intended to seek out River Tam after her escape from their experiments.
Due to the scarcity of fresh produce, it is unclear whether they were made from real fruit and oats, and therefore expensive, or merely made from artifical proteins and flavourings.
Because of their broad scope of products and ties with the Alliance, it is not unreasonable to assume that the bars are manufactued by the Blue Sun Corporation.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- An easter egg featurette can be found on the Region 2 DVD by pressing left when 'Play' is highlighted. Not only does this give a brief 'Making of', but also shows the advertisement in full.
