Title: Thanks, EBI and Reading Rainbow!
Post by: bradl on August 02, 2015, 12:03:09 AM

This actually has nothing to do with their products, but does, so to speak.

For those not in the know, have young children, or simply want to relive your childhood, starting this month, Netflix added to their catalog various episodes from what they consider the 'first season' of Reading Rainbow. I say "what they consider", because the first season was made in 1985, and the first episode Netflix has is from 1993.

Speaking of that first episode, LeVar Burton covers chain reactions, and for his example, the entire episode has him a bowling alley, rolling a couple of games, showing the pits and pinsetters, plus going through the entire pouring process from EBI's plant in Hopkinsville. They actually show them pouring a Turbo, Turbo-X, purple Nitro, and have the robes for the Crush/R. For your kids who have wondered how that happens, it's a good episode to watch, and LeVar actually has some decent form.

So a 23 year old belated thanks, EBI, for not only allowing my kids to get more interested in bowling than they already are, and thanks, RR, for getting them even more interested in books than they are as well!
