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.

I love time capsules -- I made a bunch of them as a kid, and there may be one or two still in my parents' backyard (complete with a cassette tape recording of all my friends and a 1978 issue of TIME magazine). One of my favorite time capsule stories was the one about an Oklahoma community digging up one that included a 1957 Plymouth. Everyone expected the car to be in pristine condition... but when the reached it, they found that it had completely rusted out!
