| 1987 | Article | Vaporman87 | When did Mr. Pibb go extinct? It was still in my area up until recently (I hadn't checked lately). Unless you mean the old formula. In 2001 the cinnamon formula became Pibb Xtra. | Feb 12, 2015 |  | |
| 1988 | Article | jkatz | Yeah, I was talking about original Pibb. | Things Are Going To Be OK | Feb 12, 2015 | |
| 1991 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | So it was an OK soda? | Things Are Going To Be OK | Feb 13, 2015 | |
| 2000 | Article | OldSchool80s | Never even heard of OK soda before and I am even from the state right next door in Wisconsin. Seems to have made quite an impression on you, though. Love how certain things from our youth can have that kind of long-term impact. | Things Are Going To Be OK | Feb 16, 2015 | |
| 2001 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I love the interactive nature of their marketing campaign with the whole phone message gimmick. It would be interesting to know if the OK formula ever got re-purposed for another soda in a foreign country or something. | Things Are Going To Be OK | Feb 16, 2015 | |
| 2055 | Article | shakin steak | I think I saw this. I was never into soda so I wouldn't have drank it. Or maybe I just recognize Dan Clowes' art. (Either way it's perfect for what they were trying to do.) I remember a different weird prerecorded phone message campaign from around the same time that my friend and I called incessantly, but we never bought the product. A video game called Alfred Chicken. | Things Are Going To Be OK | Feb 27, 2015 | |
| 178 | Video | Mr Magic | Wow, Bobby and Ted's Spook House was beyond a success. | Bobby's World - Halloween | Jan 22, 2013 | |
| 2003 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great article Hoju. This really hits home, as I am in the same boat as you. My memories of sleepovers past are golden. We had a lot of fun, though more innocent fun. Probably the most ornery thing we did was squirt fake blood on my best friend's sister while she slept. LOL. But we do live in different times. Kids are allowed to get away with far more than ever before, and if you don't want your kids possibly exposed to that, your choices are hard and limited. A great deal of the decision to allow sleepovers depends on the lifestyle of the parents of the friends, and that is not always an easy thing to discover. With the invention of the internet, and social media, you can get a little more familiar with the parents AND children, but even that has its limits (parents aren't always going to be forthcoming about their faults and shortcomings on the internet). One thing that may help you better determine what to do, is to know that as your kids get older, you develop a level of trust in them. My daughter (our oldest) has been a very trustworthy kid and if she continues to be, she might be allowed a limited opportunity to do the sleepover thing. She has had a friend sleepover at our own house, and we are familiar with the grandparents of this other child (with whom she stays while in our area - not her parents). I would probably be okay with her staying at their house. But likely not her parents, whom I know very little about. My best memories of sleepovers involve similar things to what you mentioned. In earlier years, we would enjoy gaming on Atari and Intellivision, the NES, and watching music videos. Sometimes we would enact drama in our school using G.I. Joes. I would be Duke, and my crush would be The Baroness. Later on, we would start our "careers" in audio recordings, making movies, and doing outdoor activities. They were good times for sure. And yeah, we would try to stay up as late as possible. Very rarely did we make it through the whole night though. | Sleepovers | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2011 | Article | vkimo | Yeah, I don't think I would let my kid do a sleep over. Kids could sleep over our house because I know I'd make sure it was all in good form. But with kids having smart phones at 9 years old I just don't want them all looking at nudie sites upstairs rather than playing SNES like I did. | Sleepovers | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2013 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Glad to know we're not alone on this one. @Vaporman87 Yeah, talking about the "hottest babes" in school was definitely a topic during sleepovers. A lot of times we would go through the yearbook and rate the girls, but acting the encounters out with action figures is a great twist. @vkimo If only our kids could stay in the sweet, safe glow of the SNES, but alas "That Internet" comes a callin'. | Sleepovers | Feb 17, 2015 | |
