Sodaburst
A solution without a problem. So much easier than scooping a dollop of vanilla ice cream into a glass of root beer. Now with limited flavor choices!

Strange Snacks
You will certainly have fun browsing at the Taquitos snack site and reading their blunt appraisals. For instance, on the item pictured above.
Taste: Weird chemical taste. Crunchy and thick, but rather nasty.
Aroma: They smell like rancid oil.

Spray Cake
Newly available: cake in a spray can. Just spray, microwave, and eat.But, of course, you'll also need some spray can frosting. That's already been available for a couple of years.

Borden Ice Cream Ads
I watch only one half-hour of TV per week--THE SIMPSONS--so I am not really qualified to assert this. Maybe a reader can clarify. Are there such things nowadays as TV ads for ice cream? I think not. In the 1950s, Americans had to be trained to consume luxuries like ice cream. Now we eat it automatically, three times a day! So why waste money on ads?
