Tab! :lol: I accidentally grabbed one of those as a kid; I thought I was going to die. :lol:

Was that the product that had the "pinch an inch" commercials? The idea was that if a person could pinch an inch, they were fat and needed to drink diet soda. :shock: In America today it would have to be adjusted. :lol: Or maybe instead of pinching at the waistline we would pinch our foreheads.

Oh yeah! That's it, Special K cereal. There was also one with a girl on the back of a motorcycle. Standards certainly have changed.

You'll have to be more specific or find a link, that one is not ringing a bell.

Apparently there were quite a few of these commercials in the 70s and 80s.

I'm very thankful to finish high school prior to computers being in every classroom and cellphones became computers. I miss the '90s.

Don't know about the kid, but We had the full volume of World Book Encyclopedias in the den/rec room I posted about earlier in this thread. I found a picture on Amazon of them. What made this particular version so cool were all the page edges were shiny gold!
