I loved Fab and Feast.  I also remember Funny Feet.  When I was young, there used to be a lot of ice lollies named after things like The Empire Strikes Back and The Hulk (a friend of mine remembers a Blondie ice lolly) and in some of them you would get things like collectable cards or stickers with them.

I miss old crisps too.  I was just wondering the other day, what ever happened to Tudor crisps and had to go and look it up.  I remember Golden Wonder releasing a barbecue beef Superman crisp and a pickled onion Spider Man one.  A friend of mine used to love a particular one from childhood called Rancheros which seem to have long since disappeared.

Funny Feet! It was always a gamble in case you left a toe in the wrapper though.

A workmate claims that Rancheros still exist in a pub in the wilds of Cornwall but I think it's wishful thinking.

Fab is also a cola drink here in the States.  I think it's a diet cola.  I'm not sure if they make it any more.

Funny feet?...toes in ice cream wrappers...
We're not livin right here Frecky... in the ice cream department.

I heard of Tab cola. *cringes*
My Aunt used to drink it. It came in pink cans...lol... I dont know if they even make it any more. Probably causes cancer or somethng.

Oh, that's what I'm thinking of!  Fab is a laundry detergent.

Sounds like everyone here is looking for a case of indigestion. And yes Watcher, Tab was taken off the market because it contained saccharin which was shown to cause cancer. My mom used to drink that awful stuff. Worst aftertaste I think I've ever experienced. Yuck!
Love ice cream. Some of those sound really good, except the rum one. I'll have my rum in eggnog.

You do the same and thanks for befriending us! You can never have too many friends!
Morning guys...gals...I just usually say "guys". Where I come from it is a unisex term to cover both...I just didnt want any one to think I was leaving out the woman when I say "guys".

It is shaping up to be a really nice day here on this side of the pond. I know we have our Canadian friends here and our UKers...Im from New York. Where else in the world is everybody else from?

I'm from Pennsylvania which is pretty close to your neck of the woods. Finally stopped raining here after 2 days and nights I hope. Just checking the site before I gotta leave for work. Hope everyone has a great day.

Same here, the weather is nice and warm, should be a great day.

So you're from New York, yet you are a Cowboys fan ?! Must be a rarity.
