This is “Analog Agent Benjamin” coming at you this week with…. Cadbury Cream Eggs

Well its almost Easter time, and already the stores are stocking up on Easter Egg Paint, Marshmallow Peeps, and the most popular of all Easter Candy, The Cadbury Cream Eggs.


I remember seeing these ads on TV as kid and I always thought they were cute, and that I always wanted to try one of the Cadbury Cream Eggs. On the day before Easter, my Mom got me one to eat and I was so happy that I was going to finally get to try one, too bad it did not end well. The very second I bit into it, all I tasted was something that was like sugar flavored slime, it was so gross. And the worst part was that it got all over my hands and clothes. My Mom thought it was so funny. That was the very first and last day I ever tried to eat a Cadbury Cream Egg.

Thank goodness they only come around once a year. But I do feel sorry for any kid who has to go through the same thing I did when they try to eat a Cadbury “Slime” Egg.

Did anyone else try to eat a Cadbury Cream Egg as a kid? Did you like it, or did you think it was gross as well?

You start to hear the sounds of the morning, the wind rustling the leaves, the chirping of the birds and that’s when you realize what day it is–Saturday! Cartoons! All week long you’ve been starved of cartoons, and now it is your time to feast! You throw off the covers, shove your feet in your slippers and sprint downstairs!

Grab that big bowl of C-3POs, adjust the antennae and plop down on the floor for your weekly dose of animated fun!

This is “Analog Agent Benjamin” coming at you this week with… Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Does anyone here remember when Fox started its own line-up of Saturday Morning Cartoons? Well I do, and one of the first Fox cartoons I ever saw was Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (based on the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes movies).

This cartoon was one of the “It’s so silly, it’s fun” shows that I would love to watch as a kid. Like the movies, the series was about the “Angry” Scientist Dr. Putrid T. Gangreen and his army of Mutated Killer Tomatoes trying to take over the world, only to be stopped every time by a group of unlikely heroes like Tara Boumdeay (a tomato turned human), F.T. (a fur-covered tomato), Chad Finletter, and Wilbur Finletter (the Great Tomato War veteran).

So, did anyone here see this show when it was on? And if so, what did you think of it?
