Jordan said...: I remember those! My favorite, at the time. I totally bought into their hype about the "need" to keep the two halves separate.

The Onion's Our Dumb Century book (which purports to show "old" Onion front pages going back a hundred years) had a gag about this, showing a diagram of a hamburger served already assembled ("before" the invention of the McDLT), and how this forced the lettuce and tomato to warm up, with a caption reading, "Can Anything Be Done?"; February 2, 2018 at 8:46 PM
Jordan said...: Hey Cal, thanks again for hipping me onto Batman 36-7. Fantastic two-issue story!; February 2, 2018 at 8:46 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: It really was well done by people who really understand the characters. I love the way they see each other totally different than you would think. So complicated.; February 2, 2018 at 9:03 PM

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: Sorry Jordan I did that by accident. But yeh, the styrofoam was the worst. The cups too. But they kept the food hot or cold. To bad that it damages the environment and never biodegrades. One level of trash around the world is full of this stuff.; February 2, 2018 at 10:04 PM
Dr. Theda said...: we even remember when they switched to cardboard packing for burgers... and the Mc D.L.T. was supposed to keep the lettuce "crisp"...; February 3, 2018 at 11:32 AM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
