A Dose of Ephemera, Quisp Cereal

April 26, 2010 by Chris Durso 3 Comments

Originally released in 1965, Quisp was your typical kiddie-crack in corn cereal form. The cereal was named after its mascot, Quisp the Alien — a lovable, propeller-headed goofball with a severe speech impediment.

Quisp was discontinued in the late 70’s, but was reborn the following decade with limited distribution, and has since become an internet sensation.

Not long after this article was originally written, Quisp started showing up in limited release throughout the U.S. Are were you more of a Quake person?

Uncle O’Grimacey, Everyone’s Favorite Green Deadbeat Uncle

March 17, 2010 by Chris Durso Leave a Comment

Uncle O’Grimacey was the Irish uncle of our favorite velvet McDonald’s mascot, Grimace. He had been responsible for bringing McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes over from Ireland every March.

However, just like a typical deadbeat uncle, he hadn’t been seen in decades, and the infamous green shakes became nothing but a legend in these parts.

Although, the frozen green treat is back on its annual schedule, Uncle O’Grimacey is nowhere to be found. Just like Uncle Ned, who no longer sends you a birthday card.
