The Cobra that got away.

Now, I am a huge nerd of Potsie-like proportions (Happy Days reference), so I was thinking about all the cool stuff that I had as a kid.
I remembered in the late 70's/early 80's period, there was a book series called "Sweet Pickles" that was put out by Avon to try and teach kids good grooming habits and what not... They were animals who's names started with every letter of the alphabet like "Goof off Goose", "Worried Walrus" and "Loving Lion". They made hairbrushes and toothbrushes and shampoo and all to try and teach kids to be clean and behave! Maybe NOT as cool as GI Joe soldiers defending the world against Cobra, but not bad, huh? Welcome I just heard they will be re-introducing the brand to the world again soon and it made me remember some of the sweeter times of childhood! It almost makes me wish I had a kid! Merry X-Mas, Dino

I had a whole set that came with orange plastic bookends that looked like the characters. I haven't thought about those in years.

I had the whole set as well, they were some of the first books I ever read. My favorite was the Walrus guy, nothing went right for that guy.

Oh yeah, I remember Sweet Pickles. It was primarily book-based, but didn't they have a cartoon on PBS? I seem to remember Sweet Pickles most from Dentist and Doctor's offices....

WOW! I had the complete set with the bookends also.
I'm glad that some people still remember! Ain't it funny!

I don't think any of us have any doubts when it comes to Unclassified's childhood bus length.
