I'm really surprised to learn that hiding prizes inside soda cans was still a thing after the Magic-can fiasco. E: Enjoy the incredibly 90's commercial.

GWBBQ posted:They shipped out hundreds of thousands of cans filled with fart water, of which around 1 in 100 leaked and soaked the prize with fart water instead of popping it up dry. This was back when people believed that D&D promoted satanism and people stuck needles and razors in Halloween candy, so you can imagine how well it went over when people started getting sips of it. lol holy poo poo The only legit poisoned Halloween candy thing I know was in Texas, and it was the child's father, who wanted insurance money. (this being Texas, they executed the father, of course)

I feel like one of the biggest movie trends in the 90s was crime movies with hitmen who quipped at each other and heists that go wrong; I'm not sure if it started after Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction but if they weren't actually written by Quentin Tarantino or Shane Black they were definitely trying to ape them.

I remember watching Blue Streak like 6 times when I was a teenager. And I watched Kung Pow like literally 30 times. My friends and I would just put it on in the background when playing games like non loving stop. I guess because it was fully of stupid jokes and you didn't really need to follow the plot at all.

My friend in middle school would collect the chip bags from the cafeteria from everyone and have his grandmother cut out absolutely loving tons of Ploids (Planet Lunch... pointoids? I guess?) every single day after school. He amassed a staggeringly huge amount, his grandmother cut every single one out, then they just went in a plastic bag and were never redeemed for anything ever

All this soda chat makes me thankful that I'm only 30 or so minutes away from Pops. http://www.pops66.com/soda-ranch/ I've bought Jolt there and Moxie! It's a giant sodatorium where they stock hundreds upon hundreds of different sodas. They even have Bawls, which I hadn't had in years and was unaware it was even being made anymore. The link I posted is their menu of sodas and i bet you'll find something you thought was discontinued or only regional. Fuckin love Pops. Gonna go tomorrow. gently caress it.

Hey old folks; I was born in 1999, but I caught the tail end of this asthetic from my uncles. I do remember Invader Zim looking and feeling very unique for the longest time, until last night when I watched it again after 5 years.  It was still good, but It wasn't as unique as I had thought it was. Maybe for a children's show it was, but It definitely had that Hackers/X-files/Sliders/Nintendo 64/Matrix/Stargate/Goth stank to it.  What do you think separates the 90s from the 2000s, stylistically? Edgy darkness was a common theme i think for both decades.
