Back when it first hit the market, they used it as a "psychic energizer" and for those pesky kids who wouldn't sit still and watch "Leave it to Beaver".
C emp,
I find this remark to be particularly offensive. Many of "Those pesky kids" had/have parents who have had to make extremely difficult decisions in terms of what is best for their children, not just while they watch TV. These decisions effect education, learning to socialize appropriatly with other children, and how to interact with the world at large. This is not easy for parent or child. I feel it should not be mocked in this way.
