Episode 7: GI JOE... ANd Candy Buttons

3/3/2022

0 Comments

 
First, we tried out candy buttons, those delightful, rainbow-colored sugary dots that come on a strip of paper. You can buy a box of them HERE on Amazon OR you can make your own by clicking HERE! (The make your own recipe features meringue instead of cornstarch, which could taste better than the store-bought version!)

Then, we talk all things GI Joe!
There are four series that you can find for free on HERE ON TUBI
  • GI Joe: A Real American Hero Miniseries (1983)
  • GI Joe: A Real American Hero (TV Show) (1986)
  • GI Joe: Sigma Six (2005)
  • GI Joe: Renegades (2011)

We watched the first episode from the 1983, 1986, and 2011 series, and episode 9 from the 2005 version. 

And we revisited the classic PSA "Knowing is Half the Battle" messages at the end of each 1986 GI Joe episode. You can find a compilation from YouTube below!
