Army ants with JI JOE vehicles were actually A LOT of fun. Loved these little guys, still have a lot laying around that I pull out every now and then :)

Oh yeah, I remember this commercial from '88 ! Didn't Kissinger try to use (real) army ants to decide a treaty for the Vietnam War ?

As a kid, I just LOVED the army ants toys! I wish I`d been able to collect them all....

Anyhow, I remember regarding the orange ants as the good guys and the blue ants as the bad guys. Of course, this wasn`t the case.

I can just see Big Hoss and Chumlee singing this as well. XD The 80's bore some of the best damn cartoons/toys available...just a shame that it's all about "eye candy" now.
