I love the tripadelic Krazy Kids Food photos on this Flickr group (in fact, I own the book Krazy Kids Food, and have given it to several friends). A few especially great ones:
--Grape A-Go-Go Bubble Gum records
--Corn Crackos cereal (for crackheads?)
--Jo Jo the startling ice-cream clown
--Shake-A-Puddin
--And who are the little gnomey guys in the trees in this pineapple sundae ad? I guess they're "Tee" and "Eff," the Tastee-Freez mascots. We never had Tastee-Freez in the Twin Cities when I was growing up.
About Me
- Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
- I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog, Facebook, and Twitter.

Ah yes...I remember Shake-A-Puddin from fifth grade. Run out to the drinking fountain (the Bubbler in Wisconsinese), fill the cup with water, shake like a maniac. And it was ALWAYS lumpy!
