Hey, Tim! Or should I say it like Rocky Balboa(’cause I’m a huge Rocky Balboa fan), Yo, Tim! It’s me, Memphis! You know, when it comes to Rock’em Sock’em Robots, I’m the undisputed king! I’ve been playing Rock’em Sock’em Robots ever since I was just a teenager. I saw Rock’em Sock’em Robots from Toy Story 2, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory(2005), the old commercials of Rock’em Sock’em Robots, and even other videos of Rock’em Sock’em Robots on KZbin, and ever since then, I was so ready to rumble with Rock’em Sock’em Robots every single chance I get! I lost count of how many fights I had won but in late December 2020, I got the count back to 0, and let’s just say that I’ve made it to the big leagues. On February 1st, 2022, I became the first-ever Rock’em Sock’em Robots World Heavyweight Champion! I kept my undisputed streak rolling and on December 25th, 2022, I became the first-ever Undisputed Rock’em Sock’em Robots World Heavyweight Champion! I’ve been the Rock’em Sock’em Robots World Heavyweight Champion for 994 days(that’s almost 1,000 days!)! Then, on May 3rd, 2024, I decided to get the King Of The Ring Championships to happen monthly. Ever since then, I became the first-ever 6-consecutive-time Rock’em Sock’em Robots King Of The Ring Champion! I guess you could say that I’m the Roman Reigns of Rock’em Sock’em Robots(Acknowledge me!), but I’m also the Superman, the Michael Jordan, the Rocky Balboa, and the Rocky Marciano of Rock’em Sock’em Robots, and here are my stats to prove it! 306 consecutive wins 191 of those fights were won by way of Flawless Victory(never getting my block knocked off a single time!) 171 of those fights were Title Defenses 0 losses 0 draws 2,942 Career Points Earned 6-consecutive-time Rock’em Sock’em Robots King Of The Ring Champion Rock’em Sock’em Robots World Heavyweight Champion (994 days) I’ve been earning myself a lot of nicknames such as “Mighty Man”, “The Soul Reaper”, “The Raging Bull Of Steel”, and my favorite nickname of all time, “The Knockout Blockbuster”. So, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you play Rock’em Sock’em Robots against me, you’re not just playing to win, you’re playing to survive! You better have the eye of the tiger if you want to stay hungry against all comers in the world of Rock’em Sock’em Robots, ‘cause I’m more than just a champion, I’m an icon, a living legend amongst the other Rock’em Sock’em Robots players, and maybe, just maybe, an induction in the Hall of Fame someday. My favorite robot to play with is the Red Rocker, ‘cause you know, I know, and these KZbin people know that when I step into the ring and the fight begins, I’m seeing red, and when I win the fight(possibly a 50-50 chance of a Flawless Victory), and you lose as the Blue Bomber, you’ll know that I just rocked you with some hard-hitting bombs that’ll make you feel so blue.

The non-toxic, non-staining, reusable modeling compound that came to be known as "Play-Doh" was a pliable, putty-like substance concocted by Noah McVicker of Cincinnati-based soap manufacturer Kutol Products. It was devised at the request of Kroger Grocery, which wanted a product that could clean coal residue from wallpaper. Kutol (pronounced cut-all) began business as a manufacturer of wallpaper cleaner. This pliable, putty-like flour-based material was the foundation for Play-Doh, created in 1933. In 1950, the Rainbow Crafts Company was created to make and sell Play-Doh, and Kutol continued to focus on its core business of powdered hand cleaners. According to Wikipedia

@SeizethePlayАй бұрын
Cool! The copy I show in the video is marked 1971 and has 112 cards in it. In my book, Timeless Toys, I write: "While Bob Tezak served as the company figurehead, Ed Akeman ran day-to-day business. International Games started in Akeman’s Lockport, Illinois apartment, and because the game was not available in many stores outside of Cincinnati, Ed took write-in orders directly from Uno fans and shipped games from his apartment-turned-warehouse. Store orders trickled in as the game started to take off. “I would pass cases of Uno out the first floor window of my apartment, directly to the UPS man,” Akeman remembered. “That was how we began.” Part of the purchase from the Robbins family included inventory, and after they sold out of the remaining original “pea-soup” green Uno games, International Games (or IGI as they were known) made several changes...."
