Title: XE Spotlight's C-3PO's!
Post by: CorranHorn on January 25, 2005, 05:14 AM: This is sorta OT, but it's definitely vintage-related. 80's/90's pop culture website X-Entertainment has a great article on the C-3PO's cereal from the mid 80's. In reading the article, Matt who runs X-E, recalls some vivid SW-related memories and how SW helped to somewhat shape his life. As someone who clearly remembers seeing C-3PO's on the shelf in the cereal aisle, I too was brought back to those days of yore. So enjoy this article and bring back your youth, if even for a moment....

C-3PO's was nowhere near as good as Boo Berry, however. :)

"Okay, the stench is pretty explosive. Twenty years of fermentation will do that". ;D

It was chocolate/peanut butter long before anything else appeared on the market again

I probably had that box at one time in the dark, forgotten past. Ah, the glory days...

Thing is, I was 22 years old. ::) :D

Post by: Morgbug on February 6, 2005, 09:32 PM: And you're blaming the Frankenberry for this? :D

Post by: Ben on February 7, 2005, 12:21 AM: Well, yeah. I was fine till I ate the cereal.

Note to self: Frankenberry does NOT go well with tequila.
