Epic Win: Polly-O String Cheese

Jul. 21, 2009

Submitted by Arin L

String cheese was all the rage at lunch time. Polly-O’s brand of peelable mozzarella was the most popular, and for a tasty, (somewhat) healthy snack, you couldn’t do better than string cheese. The band String Cheese Incident is not an epic win, though.

Epic Win: Candy Buttons

Submitted by E Dedd

Candy Buttons were little sugar candies that you ate off a strip of paper. Maybe that sounds silly today, but candy is all about fun ways to get your sugar fix (Fun Dip, anyone?). Candy Buttons were an awesome treat, if you didn’t mind unintentionally eating little bits of paper.

Epic Win: Robocop

Jul. 20, 2009

Once Upon a Win Robocop

Robocop is arguably the most badass cyborg of all time; he had no qualms about blowing up as much stuff as possible, all in the name of the law. The movie was so over-the-top violent that it originally earned an X rating and had to be re-edited eleven times to bring it down to an R.

Epic Win: Stellaluna

Jul. 19, 2009

Stellaluna

Submitted by Laura F

Jannell Cannon’s children’s book Stellaluna was an enchanting story about a baby fruit bat separated from her mother. She ends up in a nest of birds, who teach her how to fly (which is kind of like the bat equivalent of being raised by wolves, I guess). Anyway, Stellaluna remains in our hearts as the world’s second coolest bat.

Epic Win: Cool Runnings

Jul. 18, 2009

Submitted by Shauna P

Cool Runnings was a ‘93 comedy about the Jamaican Olympic bobsled team. True story. The movie also inspired a friend of mine to put an egg in his pants when he went sledding, like one of the characters from the film. The point was to see if it would crack. It cracked. True story.
