The famous ad campaign from the ’70s and ’80s that launched the candy, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups boasted “two great tastes that taste great together.” Surprisingly clever, eh? Makes you wonder if that’s how they thought to combine ham and pineapple on a Hawaiian pizza. OK, maybe it doesn’t.

We got a lot of submissions, and unfortunately, not all of them garner enough votes to make it to the front page (it’s very democratic). But there are also a lot of great write ups that never get the attention they deserve, so I thought I would post some of my favorite unsung write ups here.

Doritos 3-D Chips

Submitted by Lil Blossom Katz

If Doritos, Bugles and Cheese Doodles were to get together and produce offspring, this would be it. This was peak of the doritos snack empire because of the wearable delight of these puffy light snacks made you begging for more. You could bite off one of the corners and wear it on your finger and pretend your fingers are either Baby Spice or Bubbles from PPG.

Muzzy

Submitted by eahern

Muzzy was the coolest thing you could ever watch in foreign language. An adorable alien who ate metal, he distracted us from the fact we were learning. It was really the cute little narrator who taught us how to count, the seasons and weather and much more in a strange, seemingly unrelated sequiturs to the actual story line. Whether we retained any actual knowledge of the foreign language, or even watched it in a language other than the english tape, we’ll always remember Muzzy enjoying a meal as he destroyed public property.

Baby Rollerblade

Submitted by Katie R

Baby Rollerblade made me want to learn how to Rollerblade- until she crossed over that line from the linoleum on the kitchen floor to the carpet in the living room and fell over onto one of her beautiful blond pigtails.

With the Mickey Mouse Talking Phone, you could invite all of your favorite Disney characters over, then feel like this later.

What’s up with this ad? Are the kids crank calling Mickey? Oh, she said party, not potty…

From Space Ghost Coast to Coast — one of the original programs from Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim — Brak’s appearance would eventually lead to the creation of his own show called, uh, The Brak Show. Though it was good, it would never top Brak’s talk show appearances.

Is Brak supposed to be a cat of some sort?

Correction: This sketch is from Cartoon Planet, which spawned spin-off Coast to Coast. Thx Petey Rave.

This gorgeous 1940 classic won our hearts as young children, despite featuring classical music and no dialogue, except for a few intros (and they say kids have no attention span!). There’s not much more I can say about it. Enjoy!

Feel free to post your favorite parts of Fantasia in the comments.
