Is there a color palette more retro than this? Methinks not.

Epic Win: Cracker Jack
Feb. 1, 2010
Submitted by Amber H, caramel-coated.
We could all sit here and chat about how we loved to rip open a box of Cracker Jack and munch down the caramel-coated popcorn and nuts. But let’s be honest: We really only cared about the prize hidden somewhere in the sugary goodness.

Just what every video gamer needed: video game cereal. I wish I could still find this stuff.
Epic Win: Bob and Quello
Jan. 19, 2010
Submitted by Kenny O, curiously cinnamon.
In or around 1992, Bob and Quello “disappeared” from boxes and commercials without explanation, leaving Wendell as the sole mascot for the popular General Mills cereal brand. While the trio never reached the same level of fame as Snap, Crackle and Pop, they are still fondly remembered.
A little research reveals that, despite being popularly known and Bob and Quello, the two “missing” characters officially had no names! It seems that “Bob” and “Quello” were ousted after consumer feedback indicated that Wendell, aka Cinnamon Toast Baker (who names their child Cinnamon?!?!), worked better as a solo act.

Monday WTF: Crystal Pepsi
Jan. 18, 2010
Because what we all wanted was the taste of Pepsi while drinking something that looked like 7-Up. Almost unbelievably, this product was available for only a year in the United States. The slogan, “You’ve never seen a taste like this,” does provide a good laugh though. I really would like to know who thought this would be a success. So FAIL it’s WIN. It’s always fun to look back and giggle (perhaps while sipping a REAL pepsi, like the rock star that you are).
