Vanilla Tootsie, oh so sweet,
A creamy dream in every treat.
Wrapped in love, a chewy feat,
In vanilla bliss, our tastebuds meet.

Oh Cherry Fruit Chews, sweet delight,
In red attire, you shine so bright.
A burst of joy in every chew,
Tootsie's fruit gem, forever true.

Post News was one of many alternatives that emerged in 2022 during the implosion of the Twitter platform. Seemingly loved by journalists, but limited by a ridiculous invite-only launch strategy and the creation of bogus accounts intended to lure publishers to the platform, it always remained very niche. And now it's dead. https://post.news/@/noam/2fJw4PYRFjya343RpiToiyEQr0x

This kid. When he laughs maniacally as he launches flaming embers from Vul-Kar, setting opponents ablaze as he selfishly gathers treasure to complete his plundering of #FireballIsland.

Yeah, I lost.

I never watched the original 1990's series, but agree that this new iteration is a solid watch. Also, it may come as a shocker to those who only know the #XMen from the live-action Fox films, but Cyclops is actually cool! 😜

I appreciated @ernie capturing what many have been thinking lately regarding the actions of Automattic. Just seems really off brand for them - and sad.

@pixelfed My app has been looking like this for the past few weeks. It's the TestFlight version and I haven't been able to resolve. Web version of my account works fine. Any suggestions?

A ridiculous product like this can only be the result of a large conglomerate purchasing a beloved #boardgame brand and applying Hasbro's #Monopoly playbook to all IP without abandon.

Hey #Wendys - is it "Baconator" or "Bacontor"?

Today in 2000, Charles Schulz's final #Peanuts strip ran in Sunday newspapers, the day after he died in his sleep.

He drew 17,897 strips over the entire run. Legend!

Get ready for the big game with the 1994 television special, "You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown."

Produced with a license from the #NFL to use official team uniforms, it was broadcast on NBC and distributed on VHS at Shell gas stations.

You won't find it on Blu-ray or streaming most likely due to licensing issues. But thanks to the @internetarchive, you can watch it now: https://archive.org/details/youreinthesuperbowlcharliebrown

At the kids’ talent show tonight, I realized my best talent would probably be reciting the “McDonald’s Menu Song” from memory.”

Oh dear.

Simplified the rules a bit for my youngest and he kicked my butt. 🏁 Next time, less compassion from Dad!

"A Charlie Brown Christmas" is an iconic holiday tradition, but have you ever explored the source material... the original comic strips that inspired the show?

Thanks to @unpackingpeanuts and Joshua Stauffer, you can explore the surprising inspiration for most of the TV special's scenes. Handy PDF with dates and explanations: https://www.unpackingpeanuts.com/post/a-charlie-brown-christmas-comic-guide

For example, 7/1/59: "Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you’re the Charlie Browniest!”

“A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” turns 50 this year! If you haven’t given the just-released soundtrack a spin, track it down (https://open.spotify.com/album/1QR6ML39zy3dKwIclFsmk8?si=KtmXwXGuTRmw9Y2c2uPfog) - it’s great!
