Nickelodeon Flash Screen

The Flash Screen was meant to be played in a dark room and included a white glow in the dark poster with a two in one “Zapper” which featured a camera flash top with flashlight bottom. The user would turn on the camera flash and leave a shadow silhouette of themselves on the white poster emitting a green glow. The user can then take the flashlight pen and draw on their silhouette. The toy was eventually canceled due to claims of health hazards with children experiencing seizures due to staring at the flashbulb too much. Click here to watch the commercial »

Gushers

Fruit gushers (occasionally just called Gushers) are hexagon-shaped snacks made from fruit, sugar, and/or other natural and artificial flavors and colors. Gushers, like many other varieties of fruit snacks, are high in vitamin C and are low fat, but are high in sugar. The center of each gusher is a thick sweetened liquid made from fruit juice and concentrated pears, and is surrounded by a chewy gelatinous sugar covering. When one bites into the snack, the liquid inside gushes out, hence the name of the snack.

Gushers originally came in two flavors: Gushin’ Grape and Strawberry Splash. Later, grape was discontinued, although there is a movement among consumers to have it brought back. Gushers now come in a variety of flavors, including: Tropical Flavors, Watermelon Blast, Strawberry Splash, Screamin’ Green Apple, Triple Berry Shock, Rockin’ Blue Raspberry, Fruitomic Punch, G Force Berry Radical, Xtreme Kiwi Xplosion, Tropical, Passion Berry Punch, Double Dare Berry and Roboberry Ultra Blast. Now there are also mood gushers. There are also variety packs: the traditional Variety Pack, which contains all of the flavors mentioned above. The most recent addition to the Gusher family is the “Mystery Flavor.” Stores such as Sams Club and Wal-Mart, plus associates, carry Gushers in bulk. Click here to watch a commercial »
