First Broadcast: 9/9/96 Repeated: 3/3/97, 5/4/98, 9/20/99, 9/25/00, 2/25/02 (DV) (Episode joined in progress--about 25 seconds in, judging by when it ended; all opening animation and opening credits cut off)
Kiwi-Strawberry exacts its revenge on myself and the rest of our
taste test panel as we drink down 11 varieties of the flavor
phenomenon, 9 of which were not covered in last year's test in
Episode #55.
The reigning champions from Snapple and Nestea battle it out against
9 other contenders, and several tasters who were on the verge of
vomiting. And the winner is . . . ? I'll give you a hint:
Snapple
should be giving us a free T-shirt or something--purely in the
interests of friendship, of course.
Episode #94: A Proper Noun
First Broadcast: 9/23/96
A commentary on the United States firing 44 Tomahawk missiles at targets
in southern Iraq (at $1,000,000.00 a piece, that's $44 million total --
about $4 million more than all the money the U.S. military spent on World
War One; just thought you'd want to know), and the U.S. media's tendency to
address Iraqi president Saddam Hussein by only his first name, as opposed to
the more "respectable" forms of address most other heads of state get.
