It was like a Kool-aide but in an effevescent tablet like an alka seltzer. You would drop it in yor glass of water and it would fiz and color and flavor your drink. I loved watching scary movies when I was a kid. Gave myself nightmares! There was one about a pool that was filled with acid

I remember those! :D
They tasted like carbonated Kool-Aid. Ours never made it into a pitcher of water though. I'd steal them, sneak them into my room and lick them! haha. I guess I liked the feeling of the bubbles on my tongue. I've said it over and over on here, and I'll say it again.... I was a weird kid! :P

Speaking of the Wizard of Oz, it seems like it used to come on like on a year and was a big occasion. It does seem like I remember fizzies. I remember something like that, but I can't place it for sure. Hey, what happens to your foot if it is a pool of acid ;)

Yup! :D
It only came on once a year. And we didn't have any VCRs back then to tape it if we wouldn't be home when the show came on.

I can remember Sky King. Maybe I saw some of the reruns instead of the show itself. It was like a modern day western with the star of the show using an airplane to track down the bad guys or searching for someone who was lost. Sky King was a decent TV show as I remember it.
I also remember Shock Watch that came on WSAZ-TV Channel 3 in Huntington, WVA on saturday nights after the news and weather about 11:30 PM. The host of the show would come out of his coffin to get the movies started. Shock Watch always had the old horror film classics. Some of the movies I remember from Shock Watch were: Dracula with Bela Lugosi, The Mummy, Daughter of Dracula, House of Dracula, Frankenstein, etc. My brother and myself were allowed to stay up until 2 AM on saturday night which was about the time that Shock Watch went off the air.

I don't think I had it on my bicycle for more than 3 months before Dad ripped it off my bike and threw it away! It drove him nuts. So, after that, I resorted to attaching playing cards to my bike spokes to make those cool motor sounds! :laugh:

Thats interesting David. My kids must have fallen into the gap because I never heard of that gadget. I'm kinda glad too. ::)

It played for years, and I remember seeing it on TV all the time when I was a kid. I won't even tell you what it's about. You'll just have to watch the commercial and see for yourself. But it sure is a blast from the past for those of us old enough to remember it!

Isn't that just amazing that cigarette ads accompanied children's programming. Not that The Flintstones was only for kids, but primarily I think.
