Furbies…..

AMFlite Magic Line bowling ball (1991)  

@RhodieNite  
Fancy.

@The Equestrian Zodiac
 
That episode, though. The Twotones were good parodies of rubberhose animation.

The Nerf Pulsator  

 
These twin barreled plastic launching destruction were advertised everywhere on TV back when I was a kid.  
Pretty catchy ad

@Selaphiel
 
God, that gave me nostalgia. Hearing that in the credits was nice.

@Dirty Bit  
You heard that song there too?
 
yeah.
 
The style was so distinctly 90s pop. Particularly the late 90s.  
Early 90s was more 80s-ish.

@Selaphiel  
AAAAAHHHHH!

@Selaphiel
 
And then Shrek popularized it to the point of memedom

@Dirty Bit  
It’s weird to think Shrek was back in the 90’s.

@Cyborg_pony
 
2001, actually

@Dirty Bit  
Account for rollback it just squeeks in.

Another meme song from 2001
 
But the song does sound late 90s-ish.  
90s were still strong in 2000-03

@Selaphiel
 
I liked Pain For Pleasure by them

@Dirty Bit  
Sum41 is a musical treasure trove.
 
Some of these tracks sound like cartoon intros.

Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse Type W140 300SE (Sonderklasse - German for Special Class)  
 
The best or nothing - Das Beste oder nichts  
The luxury car that symbolizes an unified Germany (Deutsche Wiedervereinigung)

 
My first favourites i could ever remember.  
Still produced. But I haven’t eaten them in years. I dunno if they changed the flavour. They weren’t available in Canada when I moved into the country. Now they are.

It has to mean something if even Mercedes-Benz admits they’ve overdone it.
 
The W140 was the first car that was too big to fit on the shuttle trains to Sylt. (Solution: Modify the automobile carriers.)
 
The 600 SEL was 2.2 tons of decadence. Mercedes’ first post-war V12 (they had intended to put a V12 into the W126 already and didn’t, but BMW built one into their next 7-class). They couldn’t step down because they absolutely had to beat the BMW 750iL (although the 500 SEL already had more horse power than the Bimmer with four fewer cylinders), but the measures taken to push it over 400bhp made it a second-to-none gas guzzler. They actually had to tone it down again — just for tuners to crank it up to street-legal 580hp and more within a couple of years.
 
Better yet, do you know why the W140 is so humongous? It was actually designed around an 8-litre, 540bhp V16, and in order to keep the proportions somewhat sensible, the whole car had to be supersized. The 800 SEL would have been the most powerful serial production car ever by a magnitude, but it would have been so outrageously senseless that Mercedes-Benz cancelled it a few days before its production would have started.
 
By the way, after catching wind of Mercedes’ V16 plans (which were shown in all their glory in the Auto BILD), BMW wanted a V16 badly, so they built one and shoehorned it into a modified 7-class. Now, “modified” in this case meant that the water cooler had to be relocated into the boot in order for the engine to fit. Since this left them with the choice of making the next 7-class a monster of a car or a hideous abomination with a big lateral air intake and next to no boot in the back, they picked the third option and abandoned the idea again.

@Selaphiel  
How are they?

@Cyborg_pony  
Think of a creamy very crispy aromatic and sweet Scottish shortbread.  
I’m sure you can find them in some Asian grocery stores.

@Selaphiel  
Sounds like a Calorie Mate.
