Talk:Screaming Yellow Zonkers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Reminiscences

I remember that the box once had a contest to "Win a Continent". The fine print explained that the offer expires in 1947 (or something like that).

I also remember the list of ingredients was a multiple choice question. The first choice was "I don't know" The second was "I'm sure I don't know" Another choice was "Adolphe Menjou" (old movie actor from 20's to 40's) 205.161.9.9 14:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] “The poster was recently listed on eBay at a starting bid of $5000.”

Here's the poster actually selling for $100 on eBay. eBay staring bids are often uninformed flights of fancy (or traps for those who presume that they don't exceed market price). I am therefore removing the reference to the $5K starting bid. —SlamDiego 21:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] product may be discontinued

con-agra foods says they have no record of this product. when asked if they had any record of ever having screaming yellow zonkers, they said that someone from media relations will be in touch with me. if so, i will make a note here. Badmachine (talk) 17:08, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

See this article, too. Looks like they're gone. ЭLСОВВОLД _talk 17:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Bummer. Well, I stand corrected. I reverted myself and added a citation of the link to that article (and deleted some dead links to Lincoln Foods). If anyone has any more sourced information, or can provide sources for the (now) un-cited claim about the black packaging, please add it. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 18:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
