That brings back some college memories. Fuzzy memories, but memories nonetheless.
Strawberry Hill or Wild Mountain Grape???

I remember 'Tickle Pink'. They apparently don't make that one any more.

Watermelon Tango - used to buy a plain slush at the Tastee-Freeze and pour Watermelon Tango over it and cruise the strip. Now, in 1974 - I was only 2, but I do remember Watermelon Tango and Mad Dog 20/20! How about Purple Passion?

When I was in college, my roommates and I would have a "Mad Dog and Grilled Cheese Night". It basically was a big party, staring the George Foreman Grill, and a lot of Mad Dog.
The next day ALWAYS hurt.

I guess I must be older because all we could have were "hot pots" or the electric popcorn poppers. You could only buy commercial grade microwaves at that time.
I do remember the Strawberry Boone's Farm. We used to have a drink prior to our Friday morning chem-physics class.

Those are the microwaves I'm talking about! LOL I had one and if I didn't turn off the stereo, my lights, and make sure everyone on my wing had their lights out before I used it, fuses would blow and the entire dorm would go dark.... There's a reason I only lived in the dorm one semester

The other day my kids thought I was a genius! The microwave broke and we were getting ready to watch some DVDs... The kids whined "Not fair, we can't have popcorn!" I pull out a pot, tore open the bag of unpopped microwave popcorn and put it on the burner. You should have seen the look on my kids' faces when they heard the popping.
