I certainly remember SYZ, although I never ate them - thought they were pretty gross. But the box they came in was more than psychedelic - it was made to glow in black light. Remember those days? Also, I believe that the text on the back was the story of the development of the snack - it sounded like some "heads" were sitting around one day, and had something that used to be called a "profound revelation"! (Remember what that was all about?) Anyway, like everything else these days, SYZ's are now bland and ordinary. Too bad! Sandy (She's so Unusual!) decvax!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-hamstr!tortorino

The mention of Screaming Yellow Zonkers reminds me of my
first husband.
No, really! He worked for a short time (he worked everywhere
for a short time :-)) at a factory making the stuff. This was
in the late 60's. It was about 120 degrees in the place. Once
a worker fell into one of the vats and died--was deep fried to death.
He said there was cruddy junk put in those things that
you wouldn't believe. Big sacks of chemicals that smelled
long dead.
I have never eaten them since.
