Viewing This Site Will Rot Your Teeth. (via The Imaginary World)

  • Mmm, Switzer's licorice. Rots teeth, turns tongue black, encourages chewing (my cat's vet says that's important) and tastes dreamy! What more could you ask? (And you folks who think anything flavored with ersatz raspberry is "licorice" have another think coming.)
  • Oop, oop! Fascinating connections here to all sorts of 50s-70s toys and ephemera going back to Cecil and Beany, Crusader Rabbit -- thanks, Dizzy!
  • Cecil rocked. Beany had this maniacal grin that made me pee my pants.
  • Nya-ha-ha! /Dishonest John
  • I would covertly switch the Jaw Teasers with the Jaw Breakers and watch the hilarity ensue.
  • It isn't as much fun as you think, Doc: One time at the Senior Center I replaced all the bacon in the BLTs with Bac*Os and the ones who could still talk said it was their best lunch ever...
  • what? no pop tart candy?
  • I have watched every episode of Beany and Cecil in French. This is not a joke.
  • Snirkles: The Really Good 5
  • Spooky-- Ever since my Pop-Tart Cologne patent battle of the late eighties (The Go-Gos sold me out to Nabisco--the bitches), I am bound by Nevada law to notify the Kelloggs Company before I may come within 25 feet of their product lines or subsidiaries. Before the war, as you know, there was speculation of a "Breakfast Foods Bubble" on the net, especially at some of the shadier sites on e-Bay, and I did manage to acquire a goodly amount of Pop-Tart Units (roughly $234,000 in '03 dollars) but I must stress that these are ONLY FOR MY PERSONAL USE. So. Pop-Tart candy would be an abomination. Shame on you!
  • path feeds his cat licorice? great link BTW. i love that the internet allows nostalgic stuff like this to live on indefinitely.
  • which, of course, raises the question: do cats like pop-tarts? someone go find out, please.
  • I want a Pecan Pete bar. Those look good.
  • As The Honorable James Loy,USN,(Ret'd), once told me, in the back of a rib-joint in Valentine, Nebraska: "Give a kitty a Pop-Tart, he will eat lick off the frosting for a day. Teach a kitty to steal Pop-Tarts from some strung-out Sophomore pledge named Vicki, and you will lick the frosting the rest of your life."
  • Tracicle I want to be your sock monkey.
  • (is that what the kids are calling 'em these days?)
  • I want to be your sock monkey. Wait a minute, so you mean-? Oh never mind... On to more improtant matters, like why there aren't any snirkles left. C'mon? How can you give up a candy bar called a snirkle, huh? huh? HUH??
