Great video, Babbletop! Although I'm a 2000s person, my mom introduced me to the candies [the non dis-continued ones] of the 80s, and I love them, especially Nerds! She misses Hubba Bubba Soda, and I wish they could've kept it into the 2000s so I could've tried the soda.
6:07-6:10 - Even though the Simpsons hasn’t been funny since 19-something, I agree with what Bart said about Runts (I like bananas but I dislike anything banana-FLAVORED).
My favorites twix, skittles, airheads, big league chews, and reese's pieces but one of my favorite is bubble gum tape that I remembered as a kid I used to collect their containers as a hobby but grew out of it and threw them away. If you wonder why I used to collect the containers is because after you use up the gum they leave behind a nice sweet smell in the container
@Koleyl Taste buds on point! Twix, Skittles, Airheads, Big League Chew, and Reese's Pieces, plus the sweet memories of collecting bubble gum tape containers. Now that's a flavor-packed journey!
The only candies I like on this list are, Reese's pieces obviously everyone loves those 😅, twix, scor/Heath bar, hubba bubba tape and I've tried nerds once I don't like them 🤷♀️, all the other candies on here I really really don't like.
Boston Baked Beans, Alexander the Grape, and Sixlets. I still see Boston Baked Beans and Sixlets, but not Alexander the Grape. Supposedly, Alexander the Grape is now Grapeheads, but it doesn't taste the same. RIP Alexander the Grape, you are missed.
As I remember it, parents complained that Big League Chew was a gateway to chewing tobacco, not something that keep young'ns from trying chewing tobacco
Parents sure did complain about that! In college, I took a class that discussed risks of children dropping out of school. We talked about drugs and alcohol. Then, Big League Chew made it into that discussion. The foil-lined pouch it came in had caricatures of baseball players on the outside. Some baseball players chew tobacco, and parents were concerned that the shredded gum encouraged their children to try tobacco.
Revenge of the Nerds, Skolnik character was named after 'Merrill Skolnik who is the editor on the RADAR Handbook. It is THEW reference for RADAR and parabolic dish antennas. 'Merrill Skolnik was Superintendent of the Radar Division at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory for over 30 years.'
@@JJ.-BB Maybe you should grow up. I spent my life working in Electronics, I did some RADAR work in the US Army, but I worked in satellite communications for many years. That handbook was used to design many satellite and microwave relay antennas for telephone systems prior to Fiber Optic cables. The first generation of Satellite TV equipment was based on existing RADAR designs, which were set by the military. My guess is that you were to big of a coward, to serve. If you weren't a coward, you wouldn't be posting anonymously.
@@BabbleTop I worked on a kU band communications system for the ISS, nd equipment for NOAA's Low Earth Orbit weather satellites. These provide the satellite weather photos that you see on TV. I've worked as a TV Broadcast Engineer and was assigned to mission critical support work while serving. People like Skolnik Armstrong and Marconi turned simple crystal radios into today's electronics. I recently purchased so, LED light bulbs with built in microwave motion sensors based on the crude WW-LL RADAR that was used to defeat Hitler. They are only a couple folrs, each I built my first radio om my eighth birthday, in 1960. I started working in a TV shop at 13, and have worked in every area of electronics, except medical. It takes teamwork, and improving on old ideas to improve everyone's lives. I've worked with other engineers and good technicians to provide top notch equipment.
@michaelterrell Wow, it sounds like you've had an amazing career in electronics and communications! From working on a KU band communications system for the ISS to contributing to NOAA's weather satellite equipment, your experience is truly impressive. 💯
