Tang - before it was Pooty

There used to be one kind of Tang, it was orange and Godly.



Sure, this guy was really popular too:


But when a kid couldn't talk their mother into two cups of colored sugar.... Tang always came through.  Good old Tang.  You can still buy it. But last look it was expensive for drink mix - Tang got proud of itself somewhere along the years.


Totally True:                                                                                     

It is the first time that the Simpsons. invented by Matt Groening,  are shown as a series of 30 seconds spots in the Tracey Ullman show. Because of its success, it becomes an own television series. 1987.  True story my pop met Matt Groening at a sales convention right around this time, I have a signed photo, much like the below with a bubble from Bart's mouth that reads "Yo Jenni!"  and his signature, he was not insanely famous from the Simpson's at this point to be attending sales conventions, neat though.  




Radical Recall:                                                                                

1986:  Run DMC: It's Tricky 

... they took your what?!?  Your CHAIN!"  Oh shit no, they did what? 

Also of interest, do you also see a very young Penn and Teller in this video..?  /nod.






1989: Bix Markie:  Just a Friend
Now, don't hold me to it.... but I don't think he goes to Georgetown U. 




Ligit Lingo:
