Good Morning Kix Country

The recent peanut butter recall got me thinking about a peanut butter kind of product I used to enjoy as a kid.  I'll date myself by admitting this, but going back to the 70's, I remember I used to love a peanut butter spread that had flavors mixed into it.  Banana was my favorite, although chocolate was a close second, followed by vailla and cinnamon.  I couldnt remember it's name until a similarly obsessed listener emailed me and reminded me it was called Koogle, and it was made by Kraft.  Anyone else have a fond memory of a snack or food product from their you that's no longer made?  What old-timey food item would you like to have brought back?  Click HERE to email me you answer.

In the meantime, I found an old Koogle TV commercial from 1973.  My mouth waters just watching it:

 

I would like to share this acoustic cover of Gangnam Style by PSY. This trio of talented musicans are three Korean Americans who live in the city of Berkeley in California. They actually did very well with this and it has a very different sound to it which is done more seriously as opposed to being done as parody. It sounds like something you would hear in a hipster Jazz lounge.

 

 

 Of course, I could not let you walk away from the blog today without sharing a parody of Gangnam Style, I do not think there is a more rediculous version out right now. This video is made up of Klingons from Star Trek giving us their version of the hit song.

 

 

There’s a movement underway to replace Columbus Day with “Explorer’s Day,” which would salute all famous explorers; Columbus, Balboa, Vasco De Gama, Lewis & Clark, Astronauts, etc.  Not suggesting you SHOULD support this – but if you WANT to, here’s the link to the petition:
