"I asked her for Adidas and she bought me ZIPS!"

Oh my gosh!!! I forgot all about that York peppermint patty commercial. I miss the older commercials.

That speak and Spell is all fun and games till the batteries run down. The voice pitch gets *higher*, stati noises fill the background, and the whole thing goes loco and the power of does not even work when it gets to that point! that kid would be screaming bloody murder.

The guy doing the voice-over for Zips is the guy who played "Big Fig" in the classic Fig Newton ads. Love that York ad: "Lovely, Arthur, you win a silver. Now don't ever put your fuckin' feet on my coffee table ever again!" Drag King - isn't that what they call the guy who wins on "RuPaul's Drag Race"? Very convincing read of her lines by Lauralee Bell . . . just kidding, she's awful. No feeling whatsoever. The robot girl from "Small Wonder" was a better actress than her.
