The Power Pad (known in Japan as Family Trainer, and in Europe and briefly in the United States as Family Fun Fitness) is a floor mat game controller for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is a gray mat with twelve pressure-sensors embedded between two layers of flexible plastic. It was originally developed by Bandai.

Bandai first released the accessory in 1986 as the Family Trainer pack for the Famicom in Japan, and later released in the United States under the name Family Fun Fitness. Soon after its American release, Nintendo bought the rights for it and rereleased it in 1988 as the Power Pad, along with the game World Class Track Meet, which was a rebranding of an earlier game.

Marvel Mustang? A rather uncomfortable, hard plastic horse that had very sturdy springs built into the legs. You really had to bounce hard in order to make good ol’ Marvel inch his way forward across the floor. My trusty steed and I had many wild adventures together. Ride ‘em Cowgirl!

Bonkers was a candy offering from Nabisco in the mid 1980s. It consisted of chewable rectangular shaped candies with a fruity outside and an even fruitier filling. The candy came in a large rectangular package with several of them individually wrapped. Common flavors included grape, orange, strawberry, watermelon and chocolate.

The product is perhaps most memorable for a series of television commercials in which one or more apparently uptight characters would take one bite of a Bonkers candy, and a giant fruit such as a bunch of grapes would fall from above and knock them into hysterical laughter. The tagline in the commercials was “Bonkers! Bonks ya out!”[1] Several of the commercials featured an older Southern woman who said in a deadpan voice that “Some folks think Bonkers is gum” after which the aforementioned giant fruit would fall on someone, inducing raucous laughter. The woman would then deadpan the line: “They know it’s candy now.”

Popples was a series of fantasy characters created by Those Characters From Cleveland (TCFC), a creative think tank and subsidiary company of American Greetings. Susan Trentel, who worked for TCFC and had created the first prototypes on Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears, was the plush designer who invented the method for transforming the Popple. The idea spark came from rolling up socks. Trentel worked with art director Thomas Schneider on the creation of the first prototypes (Patent # 4614505). The plush toys were manufactured by Mattel. Produced in the 1980s, these toys resemble brightly colored teddy bears or marsupials (but with long tails with pom-poms on the tip), and have pouches on their backs that can be inverted, so they go into the pouches and resemble brightly colored balls.
