90s memories, part 2

Hasbro Puppy Surprise (The "mom" dog had "baby" dogs inside of her, which you extracted through a Velcro pouch or something. Kind of weird. The "surprise" part is that you didn't know how many puppies you'd get until you'd sliced 'er open. Woo.)

Quints. Way ahead of you, Octo-mom.

Moon Shoes

Cherry Merry Muffin

This commercial came on every year around Christmas, and it STILL gets stuck in my head sometimes.

Sky Dancers, which were eventually recalled for their tendency to, you know, fly in all directions and take kids' eyes out.

Cookies 'N Cream Twix

I CAN'T find an image for it, unfortunately, but Kraft (I think) put out a line of salad dressings for kids. I believe one of them was pizza-flavored, which may explain why it was discontinued.

Wendy's SuperBar. I HATE that they discontinued this.

Wendy's Hot Dogs

Sprite Remix

I don't remember this, but I'm assuming, from the heavy emphasis on the MAGIC of MICROWAVES!, that it's from the 80s. I just had to add this in because, to the best of my knowledge, a microwave isn't the appliance of choice for making a milkshake.
Who knows. Maybe the 80s really were MAGIC.

Halloween pails.

I've heard a lot about the MCDLT, but I've never had one and apparently never will. I think they were an 80s thing... From what I gather, the meat was on one side, the lettuce and tomato were on the other, and then you squished them together to keep the "hot side hot and the cool side cool"... which, you know, totally justifies enough styrofoam packaging to use as a pillow.

Far outsold its competitor, the "Baby Dead."

Magic Slates

Mmmm, these were so good.

Also, SnackWells came out with a cookie in the mid-90s that was basically a small chocolate cake with caramel in the middle. It was eventually discontinued, marking a sad, sad day in American history.

Very early packaging for something I would eat all the time in elementary school. These were DELICIOUS, and also (naturally) discontinued.

They still make these... and yes, occasionally I still eat them.

These were disgusting.

Again, kids, it can go in the MICROWAVE! What's it called? A MICROWAVE! Say it again! MIC-RO-WAVE!

Discovery Zone. What I usually discovered is that someone would either be under me when I jumped into the ball pit or jump into the ball pit just as I sank under it. I'm just going to say ball pit again. Ball pit.

Holy CRAP these were good.

McNuggets Buddies

Also, those Cabbage patch kids Happy Meals toys that came out every Christmas. My sister and I used to hide them in our stockings when taking the decorations down, and then "rediscover" them every year when putting our stockings up again.
