Reese’s can do nothing wrong. It’s the only mass-produced American chocolate product that can truly stand toe to toe with the Europeans.

Came here to correct, but you beat me too it.

I’m with you 1000% and then some!

Oh, I’m sure that Elmo’s mainstream marketability played a role as well, but I think that was partially a result of their earlier programming choices. He wasn’t the first character with major marketing ssuccess, as a kid of the late 80’s, I remember Big Bird, Kermit, Cookie Monster, and Ernie and Bert were also…

I grew up in Boston, and was pretty close via family to some of the folks running WGBH, which has always kind of been the brain trust for all PBS programming in general. So I feel qualified to give a little background on how and why Elmo ruined Sesame Street.

Now the REAL question is:

Supposedly the -J’s have some major COG and flight characteristic differences from earlier hercs, which the AC’s boom-boom kit apparently exacerbated.

I heard accounts on other sites of Hawker Hurricane-style skin ripples from the fuselage sagging, and I’d bet its cross-section is more elliptical than circular now.

The TL:DR version:

I’d call it “The M.O.A.B.B.”

A festering hive of “[X] studies” majors being clueless about something as intricate as middle-eastern foreign policy?
