Scooby Snacks



Scooby Snacks are a fictional food item of unknown and undetermined origin. Used as a form of bribery for the characters of Scooby-Doo and Shaggy from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Scooby Doo, Where Are You! and its various incarnations. Producer William Hanna had always imagined that a "Scooby Snack" would taste like some sort of a caramel-flavored cookie, and he and Joseph Barbera had previously used the concept of a dog that goes wild for doggie treats in the Quick Draw McGraw series in 1959.

Cartoon Network today licenses "Scooby Snacks" as both an official brand of doggie treats and as a human-consumable cookie snack.

Scooby Snacks have also become associated with illegal drugs due to the character Shaggy--whose large apetite and unusually effective metabolism have caused many viewers to wonder what exactly is in "Scooby Snacks."

The Scooby Snack cocktail

There is also a cocktail called the "Scooby snack". It is made of equal part melon liqueur and coconut flavored rum, shaken with a splash of pineapple juice, half and half or milk, and ice.
