"pop culture junk mail" news and stories

I never had the Kenner IceBird Snow Cone machine, but I do remember this song. Boy, do I remember this song. It's imbedded in my mind like my home phone number. But in a "wow, I didn't even know I remembered this song" sort of way. Once the song started, all the memories started to come back.

After the jump, the commercial for the IceBird. Please note the kids eating the stuff like they haven't had food in days. And also notice the "flavor packets" that look a lot like Chinese takeout soy sauce packets.

And we're talking literally - painted fingernails and everything.

Gael over at Pop Culture Junk Mail made these ladyfingers for her book club. Pretty easy instructions. You just shape dough into finger shapes (see pic), poach it in simmering water with baking soda. Drain them and sprinkle with rosemary (I love rosemary), use almonds for the fingernails, and bake them. She doesn't say what to bake them at or for how long, but you can probably figure it out and keep an eye on them. Or leave a comment for her and see what she did.

Anyone else making Halloween treats shaped like body parts? Maybe eyeballs or ears?
