Who doesn't remember The Noid? Domino's Pizza mascot? That pesky....whatever he was....was always trying to foil Domino's plan to make a tasty pizza. And we all know he failed.
Next up, Cool Spot. 7-Up's cool guy of the 80's. This guy was on mud flaps, made into telephones, he was on everything. I don't really remember him talking. He was that cool.
Last, but certainly not least, was Kool-Aid Man. The big, red jug of sugary fun. Back in the day he had enemies, The Thirsties, who were always trying to keep him down. This spawned an entire comic series, and I remember reading them all the time. This was also the time when Kool-Aid points were cut out and redeemed religiously. Who didn't have those cheap plastic mini Kool-Aid Man cups in every color?? Hey! Kool-Aid!!
I think the best part about the 80's and brand mascots was that almost everything got turned into a video game. They were the new technology, and everyone wanted in on it. I played each and everyone one of these games.
Really, are there better classic games than the ones you find on the original NES? No, the answer is no.
Anyone remember the Intellivision?? Technology at it's finest.
A favorite at my Aunt Cheryl's house, us cousins would always play the Kool-Aid trivia game. We bust it out occasionally when we all get together. I should steal it next time I'm there....Anyone care to add more to the list??

I'm pretty sure we totally had the Cool Spot nintendo game. So sweet. I had forgotten all about him. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
We TOTALLY had Intellivision. That Kool-Aid game was the best where you had to make Kool-Aid in the house while the ghosts were chasing you. You had to get the water, the sugar, and mix and put it in the jar. It was amazing.
You forgot--->
Chester Cheetah--who has made a creepy comeback as of late.
The California Raisins--my brother had a piece of plastic bread that played "I heard it through the grapevine" and served as a stage for 3 charismatic wrinkled grapes.

GTFO I totally had the yo! noid game and the 7 up one too! I liked you noid better cause my older sibling always beat me at the 7 up one.
