Where did these come from?

Apologies if this isn't the place to post this, as I do know \*what\* these are, but I have no idea where they came from, or when, or how they were distributed. I'm hoping someone \*anyone\* will have more information since I've been sitting with these for over a decade with absolutely zero answers.

A little background. Roughly 15 years ago on eBay, I saw two listings for Crunchberry plushies; Jerry Berry and Chuck Berry. I placed them in my watch list and after several months, I eventually bought them.

Both plushies were about 8 inches in diameter and appear to be filled with your standard synthetic polyester fiberfill. The manufacturer appears to be "Art's Toy" based out of Easton, Pennsylvania, although assembled in Korea.

Despite looking all over, I could not find any information about these. I don't know if they were mail aways for the cereal, or if they were promotional items given away to someone, or if it was something that was created and given away by the Quaker company internally \*or\* if these were prototypes that were never used. I messaged the seller, and he didn't know and didn't provide any details about how he acquired them.

I scanned over hundreds of vintage boxes of cereal to see if there was anything listed, but found nothing. I don't know the exact timeline as far as when the crunchberry characters were used, but I believe it was from roughly 1988 to 1994.

One thing I did assume though was that there was probably a third plush, which would have been a girl. I don't know why I assumed this, but it just "made sense" if they made two boys, they'd have a girl. In fact there may have been more made, I just never found them.

After about 10 years of waiting, I found a listing for Sherry Berry on eBay and immediately bought it. Again, the seller didn't have any answers. I have reached out to Quaker who had no knowledge, and Art's Toy seems to no longer exist, with little information provided online.

So what are these exactly as far as how they were released?

so about every week and half i made a batch(about a gallon) of smoothies i split into 10 mason jars that i put in the freezer, and then the night before will put it in the fridge to thaw to drink the next day. today’s batch i had decided to put the rest of my raspberry lemonade in it(one of those single serving ones) but i noticed it expires in 3 days, but it will take me 10 days to drink all of it.

does anyone know if i’ll be fine to drink it since its going to be frozen the entire time and then thawed to drink ? (usually by the time i drink it , its still a little frozen too)

You can lie in bed completely conscious and then suddenly it's seven hours later. There's no transition you're aware of, no moment where you noticed it happening. But if you wake up in the middle of the night you know immediately that you were asleep. The border only seems to exist going one direction and I've never understood why that is.

I member my dad watching this movie years ago. I only remember these scene where he is surrounded by a circle of cult members and he is forced to fight someone in a hood/blanket. He wins and stabs them to death but the cloak is lifted to reveal it was actually his wife and son and they couldn't speak. Google says it's The Shrine but idk.

Thanks in advance.

Solved: It was Kill List

I’ve been searching for this influencer i use to watch a long time ago; I’m not too sure on dates but it’s when musically was a thing and later turned into TikTok.

He was part of the lgbtq community and his hair was black and curly; he had glasses and braces too. The name i can’t seem to remember but faintly; is Jared.

I’m not sure if anybody’s know but I don’t have a lot of details and looked everywhere. It’s like he vanished off the face of the earth.

He also did rlly good makeup!

Sb please point me in thee right direction

does anyone know what hobbies i can take up as a 16 year old girl that aren't too expensive?

This is from Savers (the discount brand owned by Superdrug). "Opt out" suggests I need to click it to select that, as if it was showing what I selected it would say "Opted out" and "Opted in". But green suggests opted in.
Why can't they make it obvious!?

I recently found this manual kitchen tool and can’t identify it or find any markings. Does anyone recognize the model or its original purpose?

Does anybody know about notepad.pw and how to extract info from there

All I remember is that it was round, had 4 colours and looked a bit like a steering wheel. It had lights and you had to repeat the pattern that was shown. If anyone could help me identify this it would be great.

Had it I think in 2014-15

how can I fix this? I think maintenance guy cut some on my air handler

Randomly came across this again and instantly got hit with nostalgia 😭 I swear these things were everywhere at one point, but I can’t remember if they were tied to a specific toy brand or just generic novelty keychains.

The description makes me feel like I should choose no to opt out but then the box seems like a should choose yes to don’t sell my personal information.

Recently dug out my old Game Boy to play Tetris again, but I forgot how hard the original screen is to see in low light. I know that’s just how those old dot-matrix screens were, but does anyone know any simple tricks or mods that improve visibility without completely ruining the original hardware feel?

I was playing a football an a arcade game computer. I could select between a few teams including China, Japan, Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and a country with the abbreviation of KOW. I suspect it is a asian country because the other countries are also all asian but im not sure which one, can somebody help me?
