This is sad that that we could watch them and not go out and try to kill ourselves or anyone else but you have to take the stuff out for this group. What's next taking out the cartoons that has Bugs Bunny in drag?


We aren't getting old....we just remember better.

I wanna see a Chicken Hawk cartoon...they don't show his too often




"I'ma Chicken Hawk, are ya gonna come quietly or am i gonna haveta mess you up???

lol Henry Hawk...good times! I don't know WHAT they're showing on Saturdays now. For me, I used to watch cartoons all morning and then Soul Train at noon. You had the X-Men, Spiderman, Bugs & The Crew (LOL), and some other ones I can't remember but they were GOOD. You can still catch these cartoons but you REALLY have to be on the lookout for them. I'm nowhere near thirty but I realllllly can relate to both forwards posted in this thread.

Plus, when you played outside, someone grown was actually outside WITH you. Nowadays, you have a bunch of children running around unsupervised. And we used to have imaginative games like making "dinner" from mud, grass, and pine cones! And you soooo could not come in and out the house without hearing "You better stay in or out! You lettin' out my air!" I still remember all the jump rope songs and hopscotch. DO KIDS EVEN KNOW WHAT HOPSCOTCH IS TODAY?! ANNNND we had better candy. Can you said lemonheads and Boston Baked Beans? I can't even FIND Boston Baked Beans today! *sigh*

Don't forget about Johnny Apple Seeds (i.e., Appleheads)!

Or Alexander the Grape! I remember finishing the candy and turning the box into a musical instrument, like I was getting the choir in tune. LOL

I asked someone about them the other day and I got a blank stare. I think they are called Grapeheads now. WTH? What was wrong with Alexander the Grape?? Sigh...can't have nuttin nowadays

[unspokenone25]

Yes, they are called Grapeheads. I loved me some Alexander the Grape. I forgot what the cherry ones were called but it had a stereotypical picture of a Chinaman on the box. Those are now called...you guessed it, Cherryheads!

They were called Charlie Chans.....I used to love those. Nothing like palying jacks on a Saturday afternoon and eating penny candy and penny cookies. Remeber the butter cookies shaped like a flower with the hole in the middle? I used to wear them on my pinkies!
