I asked for the Cap Underoos for my ninth Christmas. Because my mother was rushing, she grabbed the Spideys. I was *not8 a happy camper, because *every* kid in the projects had Spideys. I wanted to be different. I later bought myself the Caps from a collector I met at a comic-book store in Virginia. Couldn't wear them, of course, so I held onto them until I learned that my youngest sister Donna had had a baby boy, and gave them to him as a birth gift.
He still wears them. ;-D ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : [scifinoir2] Top Five Old School Underoos Date : Mon, 25 May 2009 16:36:25 -0000 From : "ravenadal" <ravena...@yahoo.com> To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com I got a hoot out of this.

If you where a kid in the late 70's and early 80's, your in the age range where they where a phenomnon and have a set of Underroos. Check out the commercial below in case you forgot. On a side note you will never see a commercial get broadcast today with a bunch of boys running aroung in there underwear for obvious reasons. Its amazing how the world has changed. Underoos is a brand of underwear for children, produced by the Fruit of the Loom company. The packages include a matching top and bottom for either boys or girls, featuring a character from popular entertainment media, especially superhero comics, animated programs, and fantasy/science fiction. In many cases, the garment mimics the distinctive costume of the character, encouraging the wearer to pretend to be the character. In others it features an image of the character and/or logo on the undershirt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQdwk8Yntds
