Food Rocks was an attraction at Epcot's "The Land" pavilion presented by Nestlé in the Walt Disney World Resort. It was a musical stage show, with audio-animatronic figures.

It replaced the older Kitchen Kabaret presented by Kraft when Nestle took over sponsorship in 1994 and was replaced by Soarin', an Epcot version of the Disney's California Adventure Park attraction in 2005. Most of the Audio-Animatronics from the show were sold by Mouse Surplus on the online auction site eBay.

ynopsis

The show was themed as a benefit concert for good nutrition hosted by Fud Wrapper. However, the show was continually interrupted by the Excess, a junk food heavy metal band that detests nutrition. In the end, Excess lost their power as Fud Wrapper exclaimed. "No power, you guys have been unplugged. There's plenty of foods out there that are good to eat, but remember, always eat with moderation".

The Audio-Animatronic characters were food items with human features. The music was based on popular songs by well-known performers, with lyrics adapted to the topic of nutrition. For example, "The Peach Boys", singing "Good Nutrition", was based on The Beach Boys' song "Good Vibrations". Five of these acts used the voices of the parodied musicians themselves: Tone Loc, Neil Sedaka, Little Richard, The Pointer Sisters, and Chubby Checker. Many of the characters returned for the finale.
