Ecto Cooler
In light of the Mountain Dew crazy mouse carcass dissolving revelations, I found myself in the middle of a revelry of a different toxic green colored beverage of our youth. Unlike the Dew, which I was never inclined to, I ingested absurd amounts of slime-colored, yet orangey-flavored Ecto Cooler, the Hi-C juice box flavor of true sugar water connoisseurs. Check out the awesome article over at Foodiggity after you take a gander of this classic footage of targeted marketing (read: child brainwashing.)

This kid is crazy in love with Leonardo, cries over a spilt pizza-pie and observes fairly tight meter. I just can’t believe he passed up the golden opportunity to get “The Foot Clan Stinks” in there.
‘Our friendship means more than this pizza that fell on the floor.’
This is the best thing ever, ergo, cowabunga, dudes.

El Chavo del ocho!

Classic syndicated childrens tv show from México. El Chavo (center-with the plaid trapper hat) was an orphan so poor, he lived/slept in a barrel (considered apartment 8, hence the ocho in the title.) And every one just took out their frustrations on him all the time, or at least, lost their tempers too easily. That’s why I always cheered for him when he stole some golosinas or made Kiko cry like La Chilindrina.

Also, why all the senseless bullying towards don Ramón? Dude was a single father doin’ the best he could. He should have sued doña Florinda and prof. Girafales for harassment, assault and battery, defamation of character and mental anguish (who wouldn’t turn to the bottle, having to put up with these bitches call you ‘chusma’ day after day?!)

Chespirito, the actor who played El Chavo, was best known for playing El Chapulín colorado. But for some reason, I enjoyed watching this show more. I guess I must’ve gotten a real kick outta watching really old looking people acting like whiny, petulant, little kids.

Also, how gross is it that it turns out that the actress who played Doña Florinda was having an affair with the dude playing her son Kiko. It’s just disgusting and traumatic to my childhood rêverie. If I were to guess which two actors were having an affair, my money would have been on Ñoño and Prof. Girafales. Those two are so repressing some urges, for defs.
