I recently became re-addicted to Tab, the first popular diet cola drink. Did you know they even still made Tab? Made by Coke, Diet Coke has pretty much blown it out of the fizzy, brown, too-sweet water since it was introduced in 1982, but Tab still has a hardcore fanbase that keeps it in production. (Less than 1 percent of all soda sold today is Tab.)

If you have a good amount of LEGO is differing colors, I imagine you can do something pretty spectacular with these step by step instructions for building a Light Cycle out of LEGO. The Intruction were posted by twitter user -2×4- who has many other amazing LEGO creations that are worth checking out.

I never watched Scarecrow and Mrs. King during its initial run and its coverage in syndication has been rather spotty. So when I saw that Scarecrow and Mrs. King Season 1 was being released on DVD, I thought I would give it a go and I am glad that I did. The show ran originally from October 3, 1983, to May 28, 1987 on the CBS. It starred Kate Jackson and Bruce Boxleitner as divorced housewife Amanda King and “Agency” operative Lee Stetson. After the two encounter each other in a subway station while Stetson is on a mission, the who fall in love. It is not too much a of a stretch to compare this show to the movie “True Lies” in that the two eventually both start working for this mysterious “Agency” and getting into adventures together.

The DVD has all 21 episodes from the first season on 5 discs. I kind of shrugged off the fact that the set has no “extras”, but now that I have watched the show and thoroughly enjoyed it I wish they had put something on the disc. A promo or featurette maybe? (When will they learn that we are a sucker for retro commercials and promos?) Well I guess they needed to release season 1 and see how it did, before committing to any extras on future sets. I will keep my fingers crossed hoping those will be released in short order.

I loved Marshmallow Krispies and ate them right up until they were discontinued the 1990s. Snap, Crackle, Pop, Rice Krispies!

Mattel’s Tastitoy Tootsweet Candy Whistle Maker was inspired by the movie “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” This super cool toy from 1968, allows you to make real candy whistles from common Tootsie Rolls. The set included 8 molds, a mold making machine, instructions and Tootsie Rolls (which you could easily replace once you used them up). This is a toy that needs a reboot.
