Introducing #TazoTuesdays - by @nostalgiaholix X @project.bibliotherapy . . Once upon a time, we gladly bought packets containing 90% air, 10% chips by the dozen, not for the crunch, but for the round, circular disc. . Once upon a time, when Google wasn’t a verb yet, Quizzes mattered. And we tuned in eagerly to Zee TV every Sunday morning to test our grey matter along with Derek O’Brien. . . Often the chips were ignored, all affection besotted upon these colourful collectibles called Tazos. . Often the participants who were lucky enough to press the buzzer were objects of our envy. . . Those cartoon-coins sometimes didn’t make much sense. . Those questions sometimes flew over our head. . . In either case, both make for happy memories 🙃 . . 💡: Share the pictures of your tazos of the same Looney tunes run and we will give you a shoutout in our story! Don't forget to use hashtag #TazoTuesdays and tag @nostalgiaholix and @project.bibliotherapy ⁣. . 💡: Also, don't forget to get your fix of nostalgia at @nostalgiaholix :) . . . . . #derekobrien #bournvitaquizcontest #quiz #tazos #tazoslooneytunes #looneytunes #fritolays #pepsico #projectbibliotherapy #nostalgia #90skid #retrocollective #90s #90skids #cartoonnetwork #flashback #retrocollector #retrostuff #indianchildhood #90sIndia #warnerbros #nostalgiaholix
