Prior to the yo quiero taco bell chihuahua capturing the hearts and minds of the nation, Taco Bell -briefly- employed the lovable scamps and nicktoons derivative Nacho and Dog as its means of making it products more appealing to children.



I don't think they really did anything except sit on the couch eating high sodium foodstuffs, or talk about leaving the couch to procure high sodium foodstuffs. No one remembers them, they don't even have an internet nostalgia presence. Many of my friends were employed by Taco Bell during their tenure as corporate mascots, however, so I remember.

In fact, the other day I made some really amazing nachos and I had a pack of hotdogs in the fridge. To honor their memory, I made Nacho and Dogs.

I'm gonna keep posting about N64 games because that's what I know best. Who else loved them some Space Station Silicon Valley?



This game was innovative as poo poo. The graphics are meh, but the sountrack and the gameplay were loving fun as poo poo. You could control literally any animal you saw, and you got different special powers depending on which one you were. And it was awesome. And the whole soundtrack was this ridiculous 60s sounding lounge music that just kicked rear end. I played so much of this game. The peak of the 90s' cultural rehashing in one video game.



Oh hell and drat yes. I spent most of a summer once with that, Wipeout64 and Final Fantasy Tactics as pretty much my only sources of entertainment.....That was in the early 2000's though so I'm not sure it counts.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought it was the one with the ghost old lady. Who became absolutely terrifying when she was mad.

Another important question: What episode of Saved by the Bell was the best looking back? My slightly unreliable memory says it was the dream sequence Zach Attack episode. What I do know is that you can't say it was any episode with that Tori girl in place of Kelly and Jessie. Those episodes didn't exist and you cannot argue with me on this.

But people, please, please post more 90s euro-techno. That is without peer the best genre of music the world has ever seen.

The one where Screech performs as The Dregs of Society. THAT WAS NOT A DREAM.

Oh poo poo Weinerville. Goddamn I completely forgot this existed.

Can someone help me remember a made-for-TV movie that I saw as a kid? I think it was about a kid trying to get into the in-line skating scene, which culminated with him having to compete in a illegal downhill skating competition at the end of the movie. They started the race at the top of a parking garage or something?

I don't remember which song it was, but I swear he did one with the best line ever: "Respect to the man in the ice cream van". Indeed Scooter, respect that Mr Whippy.

Given the genre of music and the time period that is probably a reference to the KLF who, among other things, drove an ice cream van for a period. KingBoy D and Rockman Rock do deserve your respect.

More can be learned about the teachings of the KLF by following this fun and informative thread:

This is still the best song Fergie has ever been involved with. I also like the idea that this is what some television writer thought heavy metal music was like.

It took me a minute to place it, but the music for that is pretty much straight out of Cafe Flesh. Which makes a good thing even better.

I'm pretty sure this was the '90s mascot for Mad Dog 20/20. I remember getting a promotional glow-button for it at a county fair as a kid.
Ah, the 1990s. :allears:

If you're gonna be ignorant, at least you're ignorant about totally inconsequential stuff. MD 20/20 is MD 20/20, "Mad Dog" is a nickname and not the actual name of the product. As such, there has never, to the best of my knowledge, been a dog on its label.

Why does a song that you can't really play around other people have to be so catchy? At least the band name lets you know what you're gonna get.

Because I am somehow compelled to throw money at everything vaguely Neil Gaiman-related, I shelled out for a stack of "The Dreaming" comics from a thrift shop yesterday. The comic doesn't seem to be anything special, but the ads are all for long-forgotten video games, BMG music club, and terrible movies, and are kind of amazing. If anyone's interested, I can probably get them scanned in the next couple days.

I have a request for this thread.

When I was 5 or 6, so early 90's, I had a toy that I loved but it's long since been thrown out and I can't find any trace of it on the internet. It was a toy where you build robots that are piloted by little yellow men out of modular parts that you can reassemble any way you like, a little like a cross between Zoids and Lego. I had a smaller one and it was a bipedal robot with a shovel and a drill for arms. It was black, green and orange. I don't remember the name or if there was any associated cartoon, but I remember that the packaging was a lot fancier than a typical Chinese knockoff toy so I think they were at least somewhat popular. There was a big picture on the back of some of the other kits in a scifi base/factory setting.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? My Google-fu is failing me on this one.

Why couldn't you just have been a child of the '80's? Then it would've Starriors and the mystery could be solved.

Nah, I spent quite a while trying to find them cause I was curious too. Google found nothing - found those by searching ebay for "90s space toy". If you look closely one of them has "mac" written on it which may have been the brand.

Maybe send the dealer a quick message asking them if they know what the name of the line is?
