I was talking to someone who is in her early 20s today and made a joke about someone looking like Grimace. She didn't know who Grimace was. She also didn't know who Mayor McCheese, The Hamburglar or the French Fry Guys were either. Blew my mind. I thought these were pillars of our society to be studied and passed down from generation to generation.
Anyway, POLL:
Name a popular culture icon or character from your childhood that is or is soon to be thought of as passe (if thought of at all). I think we've already exhausted School House Rock conversations and Smurfs are too popular an answer.
