In the 90s, you’d want to get up at 6am on a Saturday so you could see the best cartoons.
hosted by Captain Kangaroo himself
So true I miss that. Of course I was always a heavy sleeper so I missed most of the early early ones.
I’d set our VCR on a timer so that I wouldn’t miss Gamepro TV.
Back in the 1980s a pack of gum could snap on your finger like a mousetrap.
Or turn your mouth black. Or burn like hellfire.
In 2000s a pack of gum could electrocute you.
Believe it or not this is true.
My community college friend once offered me a snake in a can, but when I opened it, it just contained nuts.
I was delighted when he showed me Annie’s Boobs, but in a totally different way than I was expecting.
I love that
You might like the TV show, Community, then. I know I do.
Oh was this a Community reference I missed? Damn it.
Minor Community spoiler?
Troy named a capuchin monkey “Annie’s Boobs.”
Yeah, Season 1, Episode 20: https://subslikescript.com/series/Community-1439629/season-1/episode-20-The_Science_of_Illusion
That’s okay. That’s what I love about the show. It’s fun to just watch, but there’s a lot of extra content in the details. I’ve watched every episode several times, at least once with headphones, subtitles and my full attention, and there’s no way I can remember every single reference. As long as you don’t forget Troy and Abed in the Morning, you’re good.
I’ve always felt that was more like the 70s.
Not sure how relevant this is to determining this. But Spongebob is from the late 90s and showcased them
I wasn’t alive in the 70s, but I remember seeing them a bunch when I was a kid in the 80s. A lot of the time they were in cans labeled “peanut brittle,” which I always thought was weird because to this day I have never once seen actual peanut brittle packaged in a can.
Playing on your ignorance… everybody has to learn it for themselves one day… PEANUT 👏 BRITTLE 👏 DOES 👏 NOT 👏 COME 👏 IN 👏 A 👏 CAN 👏
It wasn’t the 90’s.
I lived through the 90’s and never once actually saw one of these. They were always in cartoons, though.
I lived through the 90s and definitely saw these and had one during the 90s
I lived through the 90s, frequently saw snakes jump out of cans of peanut brittle.
But I basically never saw any real cans of peanut brittle.
Yeah, I know I found them at my grand parents house, with my dad’s sruff from the 70s. But the last time I saw one was then, in the 90s. Everyone probably threw them out when they got discovered that way with old stuff.
But at least you could still afford them in the 90s, and even have the money to electively buy snack sized cans of nuts in the first place.
Can somebody remind me what this content creator / series name is? There’s one I want to dig up on YouTube but I can’t remember what to search.

This generation’s bukowski.
Whayesaybuddy?
Who’s the one that done this grass seed?
By god they knew what they was doin
I’ve still got the snake in a can that my grandparents had when I was a child, it’s a fun prank
Is this some Australian joke?
‘can of snakes’ is an old physical prank consisting of a spring loaded snake inside a can disguised as peanuts or candy.
TIL
THAT’S not an Australian joke… THIS is an Australian joke!
I see you’ve played knifey-jokey before
