Wow, Cranbiz, you're coming dangerously close to giving a full description. Now be honest: Were they cute?


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Heh. I'd forgotten the Pabst bear! Good times, good times.

One slight correction, though: Joe Camel is the cigarette one. This is Joe Cool:

I saw this on the Brand X board and although I'm not big on political
correctness, I do have to agree that is was a BAAAAD idea. But the bigger issue
is the drinking age...personally I agree with the Europeans on that whole thing,
and if we had their attitude, it wouldn't be an issue. My grandma and grandpa
were European, and they gave me beer and wine mixed with 7-Up from the time
I was weaned, and I turned out just fine...well, maybe that's subject to
interpretation...but at least I'm not an alcoholic!

You got dumped because he was obsessed with a cartoon character? Trust me
on this, you're better off.

I am sorry but it was Hamm's Beer and I was just a kid then, honest. They had a Native American sounding music. "Land of Sky Blue Waters"

It was fun and all us kids wanted the Bear's stuff that was available.
