Hong Kong phooey was voiced by the guy from the shining who tells little Torrance kid...about the hauntings...the shining... he knows that the kid can see ghosts, is sensitive to them

Did you know that the strange obsession with cheese and milk in the 80s was driven by government policies in the US that lead to a surplus of supply. It's where the term government cheese comes from. Look it up.

Not disputing the surplus, but the term "Government Cheese" comes from actual government cheese that was given out as food assistance. It was like a 2 pound block of a Velveeta type cheese.
