2. Lego is a great product, but I wish they'd go back to less syndicates themes.

MegaBlocks is the current rip-off. I've messed with them and they don't hold together as well. I wish Lego would bring back the forestry men (think Robin Hood). The castle stuff is really good. And Technics was the coolest thing they ever came out with. I built a six-foot scissors extension thingy (think boxing glove coming out of a box here) that I could easily use to turn on/off a light switch. Yeah, it took more effort to build than to just get the hell up and flick the switch, but that wasn't the point of it.

3. Love Hydrox! A Tasty Memory From My Childhood......

So much better than Oreos. But, you can't hardly find them anymore. If they're still even being made, probably adulterated with high-fructose corn syrup and similar junk.

6. I did find them, at least ten years ago,

and they'd changed the recipe for the filling. I remember that part as being hard, grainy, and not "creamy", and why I liked them better than Oreos. Now, they're almost exactly the same.

7. I will forever, until my dying day, prefer Hydrox

4. The fact that LEGO is a ripoff makes me laugh when they sue other companies for ripping them off.

Sauce for the goose!

5. Doesn't surprise me...

I know of an artist who draws pornographic art of copyrighted characters like cartoon characters, yet he throws a fit if anyone posts his art at art message boards.
