Lynda Carter Digs Shakey's Pizza


To get your Monday started on a good note..  Here's an old picture of Lynda Carter wearing a Shakey's Tee circa late 70s / early 80s.  Ah.. two of my first loves. Wonder Woman and Pizza!

Wonder Woman

I've got to say.. I would definitely buy a T-shirt emblazoned with this image on it!

    Yeah, I remember some years ago sportswriter Bill Simmons talking about this particular snap; I love it, and it's my favorite photo of Lynda Carter ever.

First World Problems That Really Get Under My Skin

First world problem noun: A trivial inconvenience or minor annoyance experienced by people living in wealthy, developed societies, often ridiculous when compared to real problems elsewhere in the world. In other words: problems that absolutely should not irritate you as much as they do… but somehow they still manage to crawl under your skin. I will admit it. I sometimes feel a little ashamed at how petty some of these things make me feel. There is so much more to life. Real problems. Serious problems.  And  yet.. h ere are a few small things that still manage to drive me completely nuts. Grounds  in My Coffee ☕ Ugh. We have probably all experienced it.  You take a nice long sip of coffee with the anticipation of warmth and comfort… and instead get a mouthful of coffee grounds. Instant mood killer. This is especially true with Turkish coffee which I love. It is delicious, rich, and aromatic, but that thick layer of sludge sitting at the bottom of the cup feels like a ...

RIP Hostess Raspberry Filled Powdered Donuts — A Nostalgic Favorite

Image
I wrote an article close to a decade ago, to share my dismay with Hostess for discontinuing their Raspberry Filled Donuts. That article was still getting an unreal amount of traffic and interaction to this very day. In fact, no other article I have written has brought the amount of traffic to 'The Retro Dad' that this one has. It's still a subject that lots of folks are interested in, so I have dusted off the article and updated it for the snack cake loving masses in 2023. Enjoy.. Hostess Raspberry Filled Donuts were originally called 'Hostess O's'. I rememeber when we called them O's, and I believe the name was changed in the late 70s. I don't eat a lot of donuts now, but.. Over the last year and a half, I've developed a much healthier relationship with food. The other day while shopping with my wife, I did something that puzzled her. She couldn't believe I was perusing the snack cake aisle intently. A few years ago she wouldn't have even bl...

Discontinued Hostess and Tastykake Cherry Sweet Rolls

Image
In this blog post, I break down what happened with these beloved snack cakes that generations have come to love, are no longer available for purchase, and possible substitutions. The Hostess Sweet Roll Remember these rolls? Well I sure do! In fact, they were a big part of my childhood growing up. My absolute favorite was the Cherry Sweet Rolls, but my parents preferred the Cinnamon Rolls, so that's what they bought 90% of the time. Mind you, I would never complain about eating the cinnamon rolls if they were in front of me. I remember my Mom putting these out for people she would invite over for coffee, or for visitors after dinner. On weekends, my Dad would get up early to buy a newspaper, and would bring these home for us as a snack before breakfast. That was a weekend tradition I carried on after I started my own family. The Hostess Cherry Sweet Roll's Cousin Everything about these rolls are still so very vivid in my mind. The wax paper tray that surrounded the rolls, ...
