What is Mulder drinking?
Shaqer R Rashid
I have a question about something Mulder did in an episode I saw a couple
of nights ago on FX.
It was the one where the two high school girls acquire some powers because
of some stellar conjunction, and all hell breaks loose as a result (the
townspeople think satan is behind the trouble.)
In one sequence, we see Scully smoking, and Mulder drinking. But what is
it that he mixes with the vodka (the yellow stuff?) I'm not familiar with
the standards of alchohol use, so is it something "normal" he did, or was
it just for laughs?
Thanks.

If he is drinking Vodka and a "yellow stuff"...it is probably orange juice.
Which is called a Screwdriver. they are good if you like vodka, i personally
do not, i prefer scotch.
i'd love to see scully smoking...it would be hilarous for some reason... but
i digress.

It was concentrated orange juice, you normally mix it with water to get orange
juice but I guess he was in the mood for a screwdriver.

likely orange juice concentrate. Normally one would mix vodka and orange
juice to make a Screwdriver, not vodka and orange juice concentrate - but
that's the point of the episode - nothing was very normal.

i think it's screwdriver mix, though i'm not positive. it's been
a while since i've seen that one, but i think we are shown the
packet at one point.

The breakfast of astronauts. (Or was that something else?)
Anyway, it's an orange drink packed with vitamin C, which pretty much glows
in the dark and can be used to eat through asteroids.

AH - fond memories - every time I was sick my mother would make me tea and
Tang.

Uggh, that reminds me of powdered milk. Quite possibly the most heinous

They also had strawberry ones.
You know, if it wasn't for this post, I would've gone the rest of my life
without ever remembering those things even existed. I think we're talking late
50's/early 60's here.
Also, if you repeatedly sucked the milk half-way up the straw and then spit it

A friend of mine had two roomates a year or so ago who used to make
(and get this, consume) something they called "tangwiches." What you
do is take a two pieces of bread, dump a bunch of tang powder on them,
pinch the edges together, and then eat the whole mess like a sandwich.

Ahhh, Tang. A glass of Tang with a bowl of Quisp cereal was a nutritious
breakfast. And then for lunch I'd have Koogle's chocolate flavored
peanutbutter sandwiches washed down with some Choo Choo Cherry flavor
Funny Face drink mix (the poor man's Kool-Aid of the 70's). All this was
packed neatly away in my Space 1999 lunchbox. And if I was really good my
mom would give me a quarter so i could buy a Marathon bar at the school
store.

It's pretty close. My roommate used to chug a can of Tab (remember Tab?)
first thing in the morning, but I think the "tangwiches" are worse.

Other than Tang, I have no recollection any of the other products you
mentioned. Now I know we're only 1 month apart in age, so it's not a
generational gap. Maybe we just grew up on different planets or
something. ;-D

I believe it was frozen orange juice mixed with vodka, thereby creating a

I'm willing to bet regression therapy would bring it all back to you. And
before you know it, you'll be singing the Zoom theme again, speaking
ubbi-dubbi, while swooning over that picture of Leif Cassidy on the cover
of Dynamite magazine. You know the one with the neat article on Fred

Yeah, except for the bad poprock incident. Back when the term knockers
referred to that kids toy with the glass speres attached to a yo-yo string

Quisp is back on the shelfs, but Koogle isn't :(
I for one would love to see them bring it back. I was probably 6 when they
stopped making it, and from what my mom told me, it was very popular.
Nutella just isn't the same.

I thought they were called Clackers (or possibly Klackers). I recall that
the clear ones were banned, or something, in Canada. The seven-year-old in
me recalls being told it was because if you played with them out in the sun
they'd melt your eyeballs. To which the seven-year-old in me replied
"Coooooool!!
Later, I recall being able to buy rubber or opaque plastic ones but they
could hardly be called "Clackers", probably "Clunkers".
On similar nostagic note, I was watching Rosie O'Donnell a couple of month
ago and someone had sent her some Super Elastic Bubble Plastic -- unused.
She mixed it up, put in the mould, and it still worked. This stuff has
apparently not been on the market since (what?) 1972?
By the way, does anyone remember "Shake-A-Puddin' " ?

I do! Boy did they hurt when the got out of control. On a brighter

Ah Quisp. But my favourite was crispy critters. I remember the animated
animals in the ads, and I think the elephant always stampeded over the
other critters <stares off into space, and smiles gently>
Ahhh - fruit stripe gum.. Yipes! Stripes! Beechnut gum..
And cherry pez. yep no doubt about it...
<sigh>
Goofy Grape was my favourite funny face drink mix though..
A big glass of Goofy Grape - and a fluffernutter - a big old Marshmallow
Fluff and Peanut butter ( either Skippy or Jif) sandwich.. made your
teeth ache just looking at it. And sweet?! Woo hoo hoo!
Ah - and Bosco. Who could forget Bosco. And maypo...maple flavoured hot
breakfast cereal. It looked so cool in the animated commercials...then I
got my Mom to buy some... tasted like maple flavoured wallpaper paste.
It resided in the trash can after that...
The commercials must have had more power than I thought.. that's why I
ended up in animation...
<stares off dreamily into space again>

I was scouring the web looking for any information on Koogle's and found
out that Kraft made it. Since Kraft has developped foodstuffs for other
countries (I believe Kraft invented vegemite for australian consumers),
why don't we write them and ask they bring back Koogle's.

I'm still trying to rember the flavor they had to rename because of the

Yay, I remember both poprocks *and* knockers! Or maybe I'm thinking of
Ker-bangers -- two plastic balls on a string that you held by a plastic
piece in the middle and knocked them together up then down then up,
etc. Same thing?

Yeah, it was an amalgam of Leif Garrett and Sean Cassidy. Both made their
singing careers doing cheesy covers of songs that were already cheesy to
begin with.

I think they called those toys by different names depending on where you

Hah! I had a pair that were blue. ...still had 'em up until a few

Not the one's I'm talking about. They were flat, round
tabs. You put them in a drink and they fizzed for a
while. Then you had a great fizzy drink.
Last I saw of them was in the mid 60;'s. I was just
a fetus at the time. But a smart fetus.

Um, my nephew had several boxes of fizzies over the holidays this
year. I have to say that by the time the boys had finished mixing that
stuff up, the kitchen was a mess, with brightly colored foam and fizz
all over. Glad it wasn't my kitchen. Although getting the neon stains
off the kids faces was a real trick.

Yes, I remember all those things! For some odd reason, I didn't own
many garanimals clothes, but I do remember the animal tags to match
shirts and pants.
With dippers I'd just bite off the top and suck out the liquid, but I
never could stand the wax (some people would chew it like gum).
And I *loved* (and still do) Schoolhouse Rock! I've even got the
Official Guide with all the lyrics on the shelf behind me. In eighth
grade, we had a quiz where we had to write out the Preamble to the
Constitution, and the whole class was humming the Schoolhouse Rock
song. I still remember it (the Preamble) today.

Since I am afflicted witht he latest sinus flu that's going around, I
tried the Mulder Screwdriver formula last night. My recommendation:
Dilute the frozen concentrate with one, not two, part water. Then
depending on whether you see drinking as an art or a calling, use one
part vodka to two parts orange mix, or equal parts of both.
After two of the first kind and one of the second kind, guzzling about
18 ounces of the good stuff, getting through "Washington, Weak in
Review" and most of "Brimstone" (which I do like, especially the devil
and his white counterpart), I still felt like shit but didn't much care.
And then Millennium was on, even if it was a repeat.

Now today, in your weakened condition, you can try some of that Two
Father's green jello. (but just add a cup of vodka instead of the cold
water.) That should make you feel even better.

Okay, how about those tops that you wound up by rubbing them quickly
on the sidewalk. They'd shoot sparks when you finally let it go. Then
there were those balls on a string that you looped around one ankle
and then had to jump over with the other foot? I got tangled in mine

I had a really cool top that you could put stickers on and
balance attachments on but my memory is going and I can't
remember the brand name. I also got the game "Battling
Tops" for Christmas when I was in kindergarten. I made me
a big hit at my new school earning me instant "cool"
status. Didn't have the other toy you mention but a friend
did. I had a red Hoppety-Hop. Now *that* was cool!

Leif Garrett, Sean Cassidy. Or David Cassidy, but he was too "old" for my

I also loved Zoom. But now I only remember the song. And thanks to

I remember the song, and I also have some vague memory about getting Zoom
cards in the mail. Was there a Zoom club or something like that?

remember the show.
