In anticipation of the May 25 movie premiere of Men in Black 3, Baskin-Robbins introduced a few frozen treats inspired by the film on May 1. The Lunar Cheesecake flavor was originally created in 1969 to commemorate the first spaceflight to land on the moon; the ice cream chain rebooted the flavor for MIB 3 with green and white cheesecake ice cream, cheesecake chunks, and a graham cracker crust ribbon. The Pink Surprise Cake is evidently inspired by a pivotal scene in the movie; it includes Oreo ice cream layered between two sheets of devil's food cake.

The milk chocolate frogs may not hop around like they do in the movies, but they do include crisped rice to make them a bit bumpy. 

Post Cereal debuted Pebbles Cereal in 1971, inspired by the characters in The Flintstones. The original Cocoa Pebbles includes chocolate-flavored crisped rice and the Fruity Pebbles feature the same crisped rice cereal in a variety of fruit flavors.

The Dark Burger is the same as the Dark Vador, but with a traditional bun. The Jedi Burger includes two patties topped with mozzarella cheese, melted emmental cheese, and creamy mayo spread.
