  • What is that on the roof of Indian homes/businesses?

    In India, there is a head statue on most homes business (looks like a devil's head with the tongue sticking out). I was told it was to keep evil away, but who can tell me exactly what the statue is called and more about it?

    Please see the Cornquistos' Petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/cornquis/petition.ht... and hear the voices of 227 Cornquistos lovers.

    To: Masterfoods

    Dear Masterfoods at http://masterfoods.com/country.asp?c=USA please oh please bring back the most delicious snack of the 80's and beyond... the Cornquisto. So many of us in this world today long to taste that deliciously crispy outer corn shell filled with cheesy goodness that can only come from the original Cornquisto. Combo's can not even hold a candle to the brilliant light of the delectable Cornquisto.

    Please, from all of the 80's children, and from the children of the latter generations, yet to know that magnificently unique Cornquisto taste, bring Cornquistos back!

    Only you, Dearest Masterfoods, have the ability to bring back taste bud nostalgia to us.

    Please oh Please... Please Please Please Please Please... bring back our Cornquistos! We want Cornquistos! We want Cornquistos! We want Cornquistos! We want Cornquistos!

    Thank You!

    Sincerely,

    The Undersigned

    227. Sharron Sharp There has never been anything else like them.

    226. Jeane Moore Cornquistos were and have always been my favorite snck food of all time. I would love for my children to be able to try them. They love combos and when I tell them about my child hood snack and how much better it was they don't say its not possible. Please bring it back I would love to show them how great that snack is. Jeane

    225. EMILY SHACK YUM

    224. Tammy Tyson I miss Cornquistos!!! Even the ooey glob of cheese at the bottom of the bag when I left them in the hot sun.

    223. JL Jones Please oh please bring them back nothing compares! Mmmm

    222. Tonia Quonones bring them back along with doolies!! nothing will ever compare!

    221. Daniel Schweitzer I loved this snack and much prefer it to Combos

    220. Luke Emory

    219. Rebecca McAfee In the 80's my bf and I would walk in the 100 degree heat to the nearest convenient store just to buy Cornquistos. Please bring them back so I can share their great taste with my own daughter!

    218. Debbie Jones please, after all these years I still crave them!

    217. Cynthia Allen I can't believe there is a petition to bring Cornquistos back. I just so happen to think about Cornquistos today and thought the web might have information on them and that's when I came upon this petition. I will definitely sign. Yes, Combos are okay but Cornquistos are way better.

    216. Hernán Cortés I think we need to get internet search traffic up for this site. Let's add some tags: Britney Spears Brad Pitt Miley Cyrus Obama Recession Facebook. Bring back Cornquistos!!!!!!!!!!

    215. shewn

    214. JACKIE LEJEUNE

    213. Krista boaz please bring this snack back. my parents even love this.

    212. Tamikko

    211. charles eastlick superior to Combos

    210. Debra Tyrolt I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA! I am pleading and begging please bring them back

    209. sasha tormenda These are the only things that truly made me happy. Sad, I know but true

    208. Bret Mix Please please please

    207. Henry Peterson Cornquistos were introduced to the market before the American public’s palette was diverse enough to appreciate the flavor sensation that was Cornqustos. There is no better time than now to reintroduce this wonderful product to a consumer base that is sure to embrace it. If our pleading is not enough then think of the profits that could be made from a product that with the right marketing could corner the savory snack market. No need to tweak the formula since it was perfect and the reason this petition exists.

    206. teresa PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    205. nuna

    204. stephanie

    203. Blaise Forrest I absolutely loved cornquistos. Combos don't even compare

  • i would like help naming my kitten... she's silver... with silver eyes... and she looks much like a wolf...?

    I wanted to name her the Hindi word for "wolf" but I do not care for the name... I would prefer a Hindi word that is an uncommon Hindi name (if that makes sense) I really do not care to name her something as common as Kali, for example.

    Ideas of random names I like but do not want to name her (so maybe you can help read my mind as I am unsuccessful at the moment):

    Amelia

    ilsa

    Ollie

    Lalita (Lali for short)

    Teagan

    Sati

    Chaya

    Parvati

    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated... thanks so much!

  • Vegetarians... gelatin...?

    If you are a vegetarian did you know this:

    What is gelatin made from?

    Gelatin is made from the bones, skins, hoofs, and tendons of cows, pigs, fish and other animals. It is animal protein used especially for its thickening and gelling properties. It is a non-vegetarian product. It is often used in candies and Jello. http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/faqingredients.htm#gel...

    Kosher gelatin can be made with fish bones, and/or beef or pork skins. Contrary to assumptions, it is also considered kosher to use it with dairy products.

    I read this fact yesterday and it sparked curiosity in me, The type of gelatin used is pork skin in Circus Peanuts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Peanuts

    I am not a vegetarian, however have friends who are for religious reasons and wonder if many vegetarians are aware of this? who would have thought a food product would be in candy? Any other products you know of in same respect?

  • Does anyone remember a Lays chip from the 80's Italian Cheese? Am pretty sure that's what they were called...

    But not positive. They were that or "something" cheese. They were the most delicious Lays ever... only remember them in the 80's. I believe they were in a blue and white bag.

    Thanks for any possible Help!

  • Does anyone remember the snack from the 80's Cornitos - is like a Combo but different? Am not sure if they...

    were called Cornitos or not. What I remember is that they looked very much like Combos. However, the outer part was very dense; so much so, you could suck the cheese out from the middle in one piece. The outside was like a Frito in taste, if I remember correctly. I am positive, however, they were not Combo's and they were out in the 80's. Have wondered about these for years and no one can remember them.

    Thanks for any possible help.

  • Polygraph - need fake results - please help...?

    Hello,

    I need to "present" a polygraph test to someone for personal reasons... I need to look like I pass it... even if I do not. Is there a way to get a fake "pass" or whatever on a polygraph test? I honestly have no clue about the process either.

    Thank You...

  • Remember the video with the girl new to the city? She had a huge heart she was carrying the heart around?

    It came out several years ago and I want to say it was almost a techno beat? In the video - which was very sad - she had this huge heart that she carried around - it represented her own heart. She was kind/smiled to people, they would hurt her and the heart would get smaller and smaller. In the beginning it was very cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. People would glare at her on the subway, crossing the street, etc. Finally the heart ended up tiny as she was hurt so much and no one received all the love she had to give. I can't remember the ending.

    Thanks for your help...
