If you owe a couple cavities to Marathon candy bars, learned
your adverbs from Schoolhouse Rock!, and can still imitate
the slo-mo bionic running sound of The Six Million Dollar
Man, this book is for you. Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? takes you back in time to
the tastes, smells, and sounds of childhood in the '70s and
'80s, when the Mystery Date board game didn't seem sexist,
and exploding Pop Rocks was the epitome of candy science. But what happened to the toys, tastes, and trends of our
youth? Some vanished totally, like Freakies cereal. Some
stayed around, but faded from the spotlight, like
Sea-Monkeys and Shrinky Dinks. Some were yanked from the
market, revised, and reintroduced...but you'll have to read
the book to find out which ones. So flip up the collar of that polo shirt and revisit with us
the glory and the shame of those goofy decades only a native
could love.
