Snack Market Shudders as DeathHydra Debuts in Supermarkets of the Underworld—After a 19th-Century Origin and a Sinister Resurrection

Shares in traditional snack companies dip as the undead consumer class rallies around dark new fruit line.

Wall Scream Street analysts were left slack-jawed — and in some cases, spiritually disemboweled — this week as DeathHydra, a mysterious new snack brand, hit the undead consumer market with the subtlety of a demonic freight train.

Launched with the slogan “Dehydrated Fruits to Die For”, DeathHydra offers an ominously curated lineup of dehydrated fruit snacks that somehow manage to be both tempting and twisted. Market analysts report that within the first 24 hours of launch, interest in traditional snack stocks dipped 6.66% — a statistically hellish omen.

“Never seen a product cannibalize shelf space like this... and I used to cover energy drinks,” said one analyst before vanishing in a puff of violet smoke.

Retailers are scrambling to adapt. Aisles once dedicated to pastel-wrapped granola bars and over-friendly trail mixes are being retrofitted with shadowy display columns, flickering LED candelabras, and tiny altars for the brand's infamous Apple Cadavers.

The rollout has been particularly aggressive in key underworld metro hubs like Nether York, Tombstonia, and the collective unconscious. Pop-up booths near subway vents, crypt cafes, and vintage clothing stores are drawing crowds of millennials, goth moms, and wandering souls alike.

DeathHydra’s founder — Dr. Hydra (aka “The Fruit Whisperer”) — declined to comment, though whispers from the shadow shelf say they “glide rather than walk” and communicate exclusively in riddles and trade secrets.

As the company gears up for its “Spring Sacrifice Sampler”, industry veterans are watching closely... and nervously. Whether this is a passing trend or a permanent shift in the snack-o-sphere remains unclear — but one thing’s certain: the fruit aisle will never be the same.
