  • 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.

  • Real Men Didn't Eat Quiche In The 70s
    2023/08/27

     

    "Quiche was, apparently, a no-no, as was expressing emotions, sensitivity and romance. According to the societal edict of the time, men were to eat lots of meat, participate in “masculine” activities and wear only rugged and “manly” clothing. These proscribed directives were to be followed, no questions asked. That is, if you really were a man of the era."
