Book Synopsis New Zealand Cereal Toys, 1950-2000 by : Stephen Summers
Download or read book New Zealand Cereal Toys, 1950-2000 written by Stephen Summers and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cereal toys are one of the few childhood items that held a place in almost every New Zealand household over the last five decades. After a trip to the local dairy or supermarket, cereal packets bearing the tempting wording "Free gift inside!" or "Collect the whole set!" were brought home to young eyes that widened with excitement and anticipation over what was hiding within... While the cereal toys of today are better crafted, their predecessors of the 1950s through to the 1970s come from an age when toys were not as easily available. For many children of that time, real toys were often still expensive and only obtained on special occasions, therefore give-away toys in cereal packets were one way o make a significant contribution to the toy box... New Zealand Cereal Toys 1950-2000 will not only be a useful reference guide as it contains information on over 100 cereal (and other) toy sets but also re-kindle childhood memories of excitement and anticipation of opening a packet of cereal with an unknown toy inside.

Book Synopsis Searching for Kingly Critter by : Barry Divola
Download or read book Searching for Kingly Critter written by Barry Divola and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was war at Australian breakfast tables as children raced to claim the small plastic toy hidden at the bottom of the pack of cereal. A couple of decades after the last toy rolled off the production line, hidden stashes of these wildly innovative toys were unearthed by those keen to relive their childhoods and reanimate the 7-year-old within who was obsessed with completing a set of Crater Critters, Tooly Birds or Camel Train. Searching for Kingly Critter is part pop-cultural history, part character study and part quest. The quest is Barry Divola's dogged hunt for the rarest cereal toy of all: a 1968 Kingly Critter. Along the way he encounters the perpetrators, the designers, the hoarders, the collectors, the scammers, the celebrities, the freaks and the lovely old ladies who keep hidden treasure in a biscuit tin at the bottom of the linen cupboard. What we find in this smart, inventive and intriguing book is not just piles of coloured plastic but a door leading back to another time and a key to the nature of obsession.
Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food by : Andrew F. Smith
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food written by Andrew F. Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-08-30 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eating junk food and fast food is a great all-American passion. American kids and grownups love their candy bars, Big Macs and supersized fries, Doritos, Twinkies, and Good Humor ice cream bars. The disastrous health effects from the enormous appetite for these processed fat- and sugar-loaded foods are well publicized now. This was particularly dramatically evidenced by Super Size Me (2004), filmmaker Morgan Spurlock's 30-day all-McDonald's diet in which his liver suffered the same poisoning as if he had been on an extended alcohol binge. Through increased globalization, American popular food culture is being increasingly emulated elsewhere in the world, such as China, with the potential for similar disastrous consequences. This A-to-Z reference is the first to focus on the junk food and fast food phenomena from a multitude of angles in addition to health and diet concerns. More than 250 essay entries objectively explore the scope of the topics to illuminate the American way through products, corporations and entrepreneurs, social history, popular culture, organizations, issues, politics, commercialism and consumerism, and much more. Interest in these topics is high. This informative and fascinating work, with entries on current controversies such as mad cow disease and factory farming, the food pyramid, movie tie-ins, and marketing to children, will be highly useful for reports, research, and browsing. It takes readers behind the scenes, examining the significance of such things as uniforms, training, packaging, and franchising. Readers of every age will also enjoy the nostalgia factor, learning about the background of iconic drive-ins, the story behind the mascots, facts about their favorite candy bar, and collectables. Each entry ends with suggested reading. Besides an introduction, a timeline, glossary, bibliography, resource guide, and photos enhance the text. Sample entries: A&W Root Beer; Advertising; Automobiles; Ben & Jerry's; Burger King; Carhops; Center for Science in the Public Interest; Christmas; Cola Wars; Employment; Fair Food; Fast Food Nation; Hershey, Milton; Hollywood; Injury; Krispy Kreme; Lobbying; Nabisco; Obesity; PepsiCo; Salt; Soda Fountain; Teen Hangouts; Vegetarianism; White Castle; Yum!

Download or read book Everyone is Tulip written by Dave Baker and published by Dark Horse Comics. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Library Journal’s best graphic novels of 2021! Centered around the aspiring actress Becca and her whirlwind rise to stardom, Everyone is Tulip is an original graphic novel that explores what it means to be a "star" in a generation that places more attention and value on YouTube clips and memes than it does Hollywood celebrities. Becca Harper lands an acting role she didn't think would go anywhere, and suddenly finds herself flung into a "15 minutes of fame" that sees her likeness not up in lights, but in memes, reaction videos, and even conspiracy theories. Donning the guise of "Tulip" for an experimental artsy video, directed by an affluent jerk (that she somehow ends up dating), Becca's dreams seem to have come true when her persona becomes the talk of the internet. With a sudden army of fans, complications arise when Becca begins to question whether or not she has the right to consider herself a star. Created by indie comic all-stars Dave Baker (Star Trek: Voyager - Seven's Reckoning, F*ck Off Squad, Night Hunters) and Nicole Goux (Shadow of The Batgirl, F*ck Off Squad, Jem and The Holograms: Dimensions 3, Murders), Everyone is Tulip is a deeply psychological exploration of the new frontier of modern media and the discomfort of internet fame.
Download or read book Came the Dawn written by Wallace Wood and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking its title from one of Wallace Wood’s all-time classics, the evil little paranoid thriller “Came the Dawn,” this collection features page after page after page of Wood’s sleek and meticulously crafted artwork put in the service of cunning twist-ending stories, most often from the typewriter of EC editor Al Feldstein. These tales range from supernatural shockers from the pages of Tales From the Cryptand The Haunt of Fear (“The Living Corpse,” “Terror Ride,” “Man From the Grave,” “Horror in the Freak Tent”) to often pointedly contemporary crime thrillers from Crime SuspenStories (“The Assault,” “The Whipping,” and “Confession,” which was singled out for specific excoriation in the anti-comics screed Seduction of the Innocent, thus giving it a special cachet), but the breathtaking art and whiplash-inducing shock endings are constants throughout.
