please remember foil candy wrappers

The other day when I ate an entire bag of Werther's Originals at work, I was a little sad that the wrappers are cheap plastic instead of foil like they used to be. I used to fold the wrappers up when I was done with them. Foil folds much better than plastic. The same goes for M&Ms and Skittles wrappers which used to be paper but are now plastic. When will candy manufacturers realize that texture of packaging is half the appeal?

please remember how kelly clarkson was the best american idol

I don't care that much about American Idol, but we all know that Kelly Clarkson is the only one that has been worth anything.

please remember zoltar

Zoltar is the mystical machine in one of my favorite movies, Big, starring Tom Hanks. I like to credit Zoltar with a supporting role, because without that guy we wouldn't have a plot. I saw a Zoltar machine a few months ago at Venice Beach. I wish Zoltar was here right now so I could make wishes come true. I guess what I'm saying is that if I had a Zoltar machine, I would wish for a Zoltar machine.

please remember pee-wee's playhouse

Fun, educational, cartoons, scooters, pajama parties, secret words, talking inanimate objects, Laurence Fishburne. You do the math.

please remember starship

Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship--whichever you prefer. My fondest memory of them (aside from "We Built This City" being named VH1's most awesomely bad song ever) is the song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," in which I once misheard some lyrics as saying: "And we can build this dream together / Santa's gone forever." A sad realization for a four-year-old.

please remember "again" by janet jackson

Recently remembering this song has revived some great feelings. This is surely one of Janet's more emotional songs. My favorite part is toward the end when her voice quivers because she's CRYING. How many artists can pull that off?

P.S. My media player just shuffled to this song out of thousands of songs--not a coincidence.

please remember crystal pepsi

So maybe it tasted a little different from regular Pepsi, but wasn't it so cool and refreshing?

please remember squeeze pops

Arguably the most delicious gelatin-based candy ever made. I really don't care what you say, I'll probably buy some on eBay pretty soon. Only the cherry flavor though.

please remember barbara hershey

Remember how scary she was in The Natural? Remember how awesome she was in Beaches?

please remember giga pets

I had a koala. The only pet I ever had. Except for that time I got 30 goldfish for my birthday.

please remember hanson

They didn't get the credit they deserved. Three brothers with three voices at different stages of puberty. Harmonic genius.
