When we (well, one of us) were little kids, we watched a TV show called the “Popeye Club.” The host, Officer Don, would put four paper bags on a flat turntable – three of which were “goody bags” and one contained the infamous “ooey gooey” (mixed live on set, we recall). Officer Don would turn the turntable so blindfolded kids from the live audience who played the game almost always got the goody bags, but when Officer Don was blindfolded, well….
We may not remember much about our early elementary school days, but we still remember the exaggerated expression on Officer Don’s face when he stuck his hand into the ooey gooey (made from stuff like coffee grounds, fresh broken eggs (shells included), Bosco, ketchup, and cottage cheese). Nobody could look more grossed out than Officer Don.
