  • He Likes It! Hey Mikey!
    2023/09/19

    Every Gen-Xer who watched TV knows the words to the limited script:

    Boy 1: “What’s this stuff?”

    Boy 2: “Some cereal. It’’s supposed to be good for you.”

    Boy 1: “Are you gonna try it?

    Boy 2: “I’m not gonna try it. YOU try it!”

    Boy 1: “I’m not gonna try it.”

    [enter lightbulb moment/stroke of genius here]

    Boy 2: “I know! Let’s get Mikey!”

    Boy 1: “He won’t eat it. He hates everything.”

    Camera pans to Mikey, who has been given the unwanted bowl of cereal.

    Mikey, completely unawares, starts eating and doesn’t stop.

    Boy 1: “He likes it!! Hey Mikey!!”

    Cue voiceover with a call to action about how Life Cereal is good or you, etc.

    Never again could four words in simple succession immediately become the catch-phrase of the era.

    You can read the full post here: He Likes It! Hey Mikey!

  • Real Men Didn't Eat Quiche in the 70s
    2023/08/27

    This hardline regarding one’s life choices - as important as the choice of a career or life partner, and as insignificant as what was on the menu for brunch (quiche if you had a double-x chromosome) - was one that was not to be crossed. You were on one side or the other. Quiche or steak. Choose your side.

  • Older and Wiser?
    2023/07/06

    When we look at pictures and videos of people in the past - say the 50s, 60s and 70s - don't you find that they look a lot older than people of the same age now? Why is that? What are the reasons that a 15-year-old in 1972 looks so much older than a teen of the same age today? What the heck is going on?
