I may be speaking broadly here but I feel like most, if not all, 90s kids were enchanted by Nickelodeon's "The Amanda Show." Those quirky skits were the equivalent to SNL for eight-year-olds. Although I appreciated every character (those included but not limited to Totally Kyle, Judge Trudy, Penelope, Moody’s friend who lost all of her hair and the employees at Block Blister), the advertisements mid-episode flew way under the radar. What a life it would be if we could enjoy all the amenities that Amanda and friends
got to play with during "commercial breaks" on the show.Some products are more likely than others....
Egg Splat: WOW!! A whole box of eggs to throw at things! Re-branding the use of eggs, genius.
HAM: A box that contains a single piece of sliced ham. This can be used for "tickling people," "scaring your step mom," you can make it "walk down the stairs," and much, much more.
Chili: Chili was brought to us by the same company as HAM and wow are we all #blessed for that. It's main purpose was to throw it at other people. Think of the fun we could have had with this product if it were in the toy isle rather than in the supermarket a decade ago.
Products that were a little more far fetched....
Sugar Veggies: Swapping out the homegrown veggies for sugar cubes designed to fool mom and dad at dinner time... yeah, I would've bought those.
Sick Poppies: This product may give the Weasley Brothers a run for their money. You can choose from an array of flavors, each offering a choice between chicken pox, pneumonia, or a sore throat to get out of any school assignment. What a win!
Grown Up Remote: What a wonderful 2003 it would've been if we could have fast forwarded through people telling us to do our homework or clean our rooms. I think a few of us wouldn't putting this to use on some of our professors now... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mammal O's: Who wouldn't want to open their favorite box of cereal to find a fuzzy creature hiding inside??? Okay, me. .I would prefer this to never to happen, sorry Amanda...
