A Little Advertising!

 I don't think I've seen this ad before:

Interesting that "The Little Cratchits" get some love!

In This Mug!

Of course, the Scrooge McDuck coffee could go in this mug:

You need two for display purposes to get the full effect!

The Coffee Itself!

If this were a real brand of coffee, it would be good for those mugs:

What would that taste like?

Happy World Turtle Day!

Today's World Turtle Day!

Good to see the TMNTs getting into the act:

More Coffee!

If Scrooge needs more coffee, he can also use this mug:

It's shaped like the hat worn by Scrooge in the Jim Carrey Disney 2009 version of "A Christmas Carol."

Pretty fun!

Cup of Joe!

This circa 1991 coffee mug from Denny's is pretty cool...

It looks like this:

Until you pour a hot beverage into it, and:

If only Bob Cratchit had made a coffee run!

Old School!

We run into a couple of cheapo VHS releases of the "A Christmas Carol" episode of "Tales from Dickens" series from 1959.

First is this one from Burbank video:

Interesting art choice!

I notice that the back cover actually admits it's in the EP mode. For those of you who don't remember (or weren't born?), that was the slow speed on a VCR as in it used the lest amount of tape, so the quality was lower. But, hey, for $1.99!

It also says it's color, but I doubt that.

And the copy is just so strange. I hope my writing is better than that!

Then there's this one from PMC Video:

The cover is kind of striking if you can picture it on a VHS box.

Odd that it's titled "Scrooge," though, with no indication of the source.

And the back has a generic synopsis of the story, which is also odd, as if you know the story, you don't need them rehashing it, and if you somehow don't know the story, it's totally spoiled for you!

The woods were full of cheap VHS copies of public domain material back in the day, but we were happy to be able to watch stuff at our leisure and couldn't squawk too much!
