Not much to be said, but these were central to every one of my childhood summers. Sometimes my neighbour would keep a whole one to herself, rather than breaking it in half and sharing, and I thought she was horrible for that.

Anybody see the episode of Mad Men where Peggy comes up with an ad campaign for popsicles?

These commercials were as epic to me as the Mentos guy, “This Is Your Brain on Drugs,” and the native american crying over garbage. Even as a small child, I dreamed of riding with a driver and making a delicious sandwich at the same time. All while having a cute British accent, of course.

I had this memory flash back to me while in the grocery store today. The old Parkay commercials with the talking tubs.

Before I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! (yes, the exclamation point is part of the brand name), Kraft was trying to fool people into thinking Parkay Margarine was, in fact, just as good as real butter… with the use of terrifying talking containers.

Deacon Jones is also awesome. There’s a reason they nicknamed him the “Secretary of Defense.”

Mother’s Cookies was founded in 1914, and eventually shut down in late 2008. The company was responsible for the classic Mother’s Circus Animal Cookies, which were brought back to supermarket shelves by Kelloggs earlier this year.

I remember when I was a young lad I would check the grocery bags every time for some delicious little cookies shaped like lovable bears: Teddy Grahams. These were absolutely delectable. I remember I loved the yellow-boxed honey flavor the best, but my favorite color was blue and everything I had learned in my short life told me that if my favorite color is blue, I must always choose blue. So although the blue-boxed chocolate ones were good, it always left me wanting a little bit more, wanting to taste that sweet honey flavor.
