10.Lion King Cool Creations Ice Cream & Timon & Pumbaa Bug Pops Ice Lollies.
In the '90s, if you lived in America, no hot Summer's day would be complete without a little bit of Lion King. With wild manes from playing out in the sun and sweat dripping down their faces - not to mention the zinc suncream - kids would run in asking their parents for Lion King Cool Creations or Timon & Pumbaa Bug Pops. Summer times are made more fun when you bought Cool Creations or Bug Pops - you can rely on a non-Woke Disney to tempt your kids' taste for frozen treats!
9.Cadbury Spice chocolate.
Just think about it - the Spice Girls' very own chocolate range. They're gone now, because the Spice Girls aren't a thing anymore, but if you were to travel back to 1998, you'd buy one of those from ASDA. You'd see girls everywhere begging their parents to get them some of these cool chocolates with the Spice Girls' images on them, and some Christmases might even see Spice chocolates in their stockings. True girl power!
8.Cadbury Popworld Westlife Chocolate.
Yes, even Westlife got into the chocolate action in the late '90s, when teen pop was the great sensation. They even had their own chocolate egg for Easter. How pop fans stuffed their faces with cool, awesome goodness. If you never got one of those chocolates, you're never one of the cool kids.
7.Bill & Ben Twisting Jar
When Bill & Ben returned to screens in 2001, Kinnerton had a big surprise for new fans of the garden duo - a twisting turning tin with some..er...stuff inside. What stuff you ask? Ask Slowcoach. He knows everything, especially what's inside a twisty turny jar.
6.Toonami Promo On The Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker VHS.
Here, back in 2001, Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker was released on UK store shelves in a glorious bat-black tape. At the beginning of the tape, before the movie actually started, there were promos you'd expect to find on a Pokemon VHS, until...BANG! A Toonami promo turned up on there. It had flashes of shows like Dragon Ball Z, The Real Adventures Of Johnny Quest and of course Batman Beyond. This tape, in my opinion, is a tribute to the UK version of Toonami. It will be dearly missed. Instead of pressing F, press T to pay respects for Tom, Sara and all your toon friends, which were tragically wiped out by the worst cartoon ever - Teen Titans Go. Booooooo!
5.Drongo.
While eating cake and drinking tea, I do believe the Coffee & Cake crew would indulge in my idea of Furaha and Orko living in the outback with their parents and dog. The freedom of being allowed to play with all the animals in the outback and explore its wondrous nature without being a half cast is a vignette NO ONE would want to forget.
4.Spirit Of The Kangaroo.
More Aussie-ness! Spirit Of The Kangaroo will get all the Coffee & Cake crew bouncing on two legs as they hear about Furaha and Orko being raised by kangaroos in the outback. The whole crew would be engrossed as I tell them about Furaha and Orko riding in their kangaroo mother's comfy pouch, playing with the other young joeys and sharing in the fun and joy of the safest places in the outback. Boing! Boing!
3.Orko's Nest Bed
Imagine having a wizard turn your bed into a comfortable nest when you're just a baby and out of your cot playing with him. That's exactly what Orko does when baby Furaha wants to feel more comfortable on a rainy day. The nest bed is enormous and soft, and there's lots of pillows in the shapes of huge white eggs. Orko is the best at being a father bird to his baby sister, cuddling her and bringing her a nice, fresh bottle of milk.
2.Upside Down Peekaboo.
Peekaboo! Orko once again has fun playing with baby Furaha in this vignette, this time playing peekaboo with her. Now babies like Furaha love a good game of peekaboo, and Furaha's constant giggling will get the Coffee & Cake Crew cracking up, especially since Orko plays peekaboo upside down, and then Furaha plays peekaboo with Orko, as if he were a baby. A game of peekaboo can be passed down from generation to generation, and Orko loves playing that game with his little sister. I guess you could call him a second father, which leads to our number 1 spot in my list...
1.Orko's Here To Protect You...
Inspired by such films as Leafie: A Hen Into The Wild and Grave Of The Fireflies, this soothing vignette sees Orko living alone in the forest with only his baby sister Furaha for company. This vignette sees Furaha and Orko explore their forest home together, as they share a strong, deep bond nothing in this non-Eternian forest could break. The way Orko touches, feeds, hugs and cuddles his baby sister whether in their cave home or out of it exploring nature can warm the hearts of the Coffee & Cake Crew for good and always, and will be a truly heartwarming vignette to share with my new friends.
