If Ads From The Amanda Show Were Real Products

I may be speaking broadly here but I feel like most, if not all, 90s kids were enchanted by Nickelodeon's "The Amanda Show." Those quirky skits were the equivalent to SNL for eight-year-olds. Although I appreciated every character (those included but not limited to Totally Kyle, Judge Trudy, Penelope, Moody’s friend who lost all of her hair and the employees at Block Blister), the advertisements mid-episode flew way under the radar. What a life it would be if we could enjoy all the amenities that Amanda and friends

got to play with during "commercial breaks" on the show.

Some products are more likely than others....

Egg Splat: WOW!! A whole box of eggs to throw at things! Re-branding the use of eggs, genius.

HAM: A box that contains a single piece of sliced ham. This can be used for "tickling people," "scaring your step mom," you can make it "walk down the stairs," and much, much more.

Chili: Chili was brought to us by the same company as HAM and wow are we all #blessed for that. It's main purpose was to throw it at other people. Think of the fun we could have had with this product if it were in the toy isle rather than in the supermarket a decade ago.

Products that were a little more far fetched....

Sugar Veggies: Swapping out the homegrown veggies for sugar cubes designed to fool mom and dad at dinner time... yeah, I would've bought those.

Sick Poppies: This product may give the Weasley Brothers a run for their money. You can choose from an array of flavors, each offering a choice between chicken pox, pneumonia, or a sore throat to get out of any school assignment. What a win!

Grown Up Remote: What a wonderful 2003 it would've been if we could have fast forwarded through people telling us to do our homework or clean our rooms. I think a few of us wouldn't putting this to use on some of our professors now... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Mammal O's: Who wouldn't want to open their favorite box of cereal to find a fuzzy creature hiding inside??? Okay, me. .I would prefer this to never to happen, sorry Amanda...

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
