My mother-in-law is moving house, so we went over there to clear out stuff of ours she still had in storage. Came across a few small treasures, including a Zip drive with a couple of disks (look forward to finding out what’s on them):



And a big box full of colour reversals with posters, backdrops, logos and characters from a wide range of WB properties:

What connection does that Zip drive use? I seem to recall mine was FireWire or SCSI so not sure if a USB one ever existed.

Because it has nothing to do with monkey glands? It’s basically just a better and thicker version of the sweet and sour taste profile with some South African twists.

I have a pretty good recipe somewhere, let me find it quick.

From 7:25 onwards.

Still a terrible way to market a sauce.

Would be like saying “Steak will snot balls” even though there’s no actual snot balls in it.

I liked the taste of it but the name, eish.

There’s plenty of lore around the origins and I guess the name just stuck.

As a kid the name brought to mind Temple of Doom - part of what made me like it I think.

Who remembers this?

For me this was in primary school in the mid to late 80s.

Yip, up in my primary school as well. Also had an officer come around and give is a talk on explosives.
