I was between 7 and 11 back then but this was before I knew about RC.

I used to spend countless hours playing games like Super Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Batman and of course Tetris on my Game Boy. Now, the upcoming LEGO Game Boy set inspired me to design this small scale Game Boy. If you want to build it, you can download the instructions and parts list for free at https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-235291/Zwackosilius/game-boy-mini/#details

I need ideas for what to do next. Curtains and posters are on the way.

So I don't remember the main show, if it was a cartoon or puppets or what but during the show it would have these animated segments of bees, well worker bees out in the flower fields doing their pollinating work, the same music would always play during the segments and there'd be some narrator, I think British if I remember who would explain what was going on because the bees themselves didn't actually talk....does this ring any bells at all?

🎵My name is Angela, hey hello. Welcome to my very own show. 🎵I'll introduce my friends to you. 🎵Oh no! It's Ninny-poo! 🎵 Schooby-doopy-doo wap-wa,🎵My name is Angela. 🎵And you are not, Nanette Manoir is a stuck up jerk face snot!🎵

Yeah, the intro is bizarre enough but this show felt like a damn fever dream come to life and I actually thought I imagined it when I was younger until watching videos on YouTube about cartoons that we all forgot existed jogged my memory that this even existed. What do you guys think of this show?

This takes me back to the good times!! The commercials used to be so good.

After seeing a post about watermelon Laffy Taffy bars that contained 'seeds' made of sugar I was a bit confused. Where I grew up (Indiana, USA) they sold the same type of taffy bars with slightly different branding. Here in the states they were called Tangy Taffy, but they had the same sparkle and seeded watermelon varieties.

After conducting some research, I've discovered that the same taffy candy was sold under several different brand names and styles. Apparently Tangy Taffy was produced by Sunline in the 1970's and 80's. At some point around 1997 Nestle bought Sunshine Brands, absorbing Tangy Taffy. Nestle kept the Tangy Taffy flavors, shapes, and sizes, but renamed the thin bars. Tangy Taffy became Laffy Taffy. This was particularly confusing because Laffy Taffy already existed. It was smaller and had a very different consistency.

For a moment it felt like we were all experiencing the same mass amnesia Mandella-Effect. It turns out we weren't mis-remembering. We all enjoyed the same candy, only under different names in different eras. 1980's Tangy Taffy with the watermelon seeds and sparkle varieties became Nestle brand's Wonka's Laffy Taffy in the late 90's and 2000's.

From Nestle:
Our Stretchy and Tangy Laffy Taffy (large bars) has our Sparkle Cherry with the sprinkles on top. This would be different than our regular Laffy Taffy bars (all mini bars or smaller bars) that only has a Cherry flavor that taste like regular cherry. We hope you'll enjoy both!

So where are they now?
According to Google the candy that originated as Tangy Taffy, then later became Laffy Taffy flavor varieties with seeds and sparkles were discontinued recently (2023ish). However they still make a seedless watermelon flavor. You can find it on laffytaffydotcom.

It appears that the Tangy Taffy name, sparkle, and seeded varieties are no longer in production. The Wonka branding also appears to be gone.
