OMG!!! I had forgotten about "Bonkers" Candy. I remember as a kid I'd always laugh about those because there was a cat treat also called Bonkers. LOL
Thanks Stormy

Not only do I remember, I remember my college roommate and I eating several boxes of it a while back so that she could get a "Quisp" watch. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

I remember believing that if only I had an Atari game system my life would be complete because Atari asteroids was the pinnacle of computer gaming and computer graphics.

I never got it.

LOL....
"Annoying encyclopedia brittanica boy" and "Zelda Tektikes commercial" are certainly ecclectic finds. Good site.

wow, I am so glad I was too young to be fully affected by the 80's, though I do miss the candies and tv. bonkers rocked, they tasted kinda like some starburst do and I even think they're selling them again.not to mention all my childhood cartoons that I really think they should be showing again (not re-making, cause when you do that you inevitably screw up something.

I aint recognizing anything... [img]graemlins/pi_lightbulb.gif[/img] maybe that depends on that I was born in 1988 [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

The 80's were the best! [img]smile.gif[/img] Perhaps, because I spent most of my "fun" years in the 80's, but the 80's still rocked!

Bloodstalker 06-17-2003 09:29 PM

The 80's are over? Why didn't I get a memo? [img]redface.gif[/img]

Epona 06-18-2003 01:41 AM

Argh, the 80s - big hair and shoulder pads. Seems to me that the fashion aim was to make everyone look as if they were carrot-shaped. Ra-ra skirts and ruched shirts. Legwarmers. Wtf was that about?

I do remember getting my first CD player, in 1985. You couldn't get much on CD back then.
