Epic Win: Alvin and the Chipmunks

Apr. 15, 2009

Submitted by Michael R

“ALLLLVIIIIIIIIIINNN!!!!”

After revisiting some YouTube clips of Alvin and the Chipmunks, we’ve decided that it was definitely one of those, “had to been there” kind of things where unless you were there for the cartoon, you just can’t see why this was an epic win. Especially after that terrible movie came out. In any case, here’s Alvin and the Chipmunks rendition of Love Potion #9 (if you’re easily susceptible to earworms, we highly recommend you avoid watching this clip):

Epic Win: You Don’t Know Jack

Apr. 14, 2009

once upon a win

You Don’t Know Jack was the ultimate catalyst for fighting with siblings and cousins. Since you had to share the keyboard to enter your answers, eventually the poor-sport of the group would start smacking hands, answering questions for you and generally making it difficult to get a good score. At the same time the comedian host of YDKJ would mock you when you got answers wrong, to questions that were complicated, silly or confusing, which only added to tension.

Don’t remember how frustrating it was? Play YDKJ Online and see if you can beat our top trivia player’s scrore of $15,113. Choose your answers wisely because the questions don’t change, so if you play a second time you already know all the answers.

Epic Win: Kaleidoscopes

Submitted by Kayla R

Don’t like what you get? Spin the dial and a whole new picture appears. Kaleidoscopes were our generations cure for ADD. Why do you think screen savers and media player “visualizations” are so popular among stoners? It’s like an endless electronic kaleidoscope.

Forgot how awesome kaleidoscopes are? Click this and tell us you didn’t watch the whole thing…

Epic Win: Paint with Water

Apr. 13, 2009

once upon a win

Submitted by Susan O

Even though we didn’t know it, our parents were totally tricking us into doing art when we they gave us the watercolor Paint with Water books. It’s a shame most of us never graduated to painting with water without the books as a guide, however, many a masterpiece, torn from the book, were hung from our refrigerators. Most of our masterpieces are probably still filed away in some folder or file, waiting to be remembered.

Epic Win: Tastee Freez

Apr. 13, 2009

once upon a win

If you grew up with a Tastee Freez in your neighborhood, or on the way to a relative’s house, or were just passing through and stopped, you know what we’re talking about when we say we totally miss the Tastee Freez. Fortunately, there’s still a few around and you can still get Tastee Freez soft-serve from select Wienerschnitzel locations.

Also, do you remember Tee and Eff?
