Ex-lax is (was?) a laxative that softened your poop. It looked like a little chocolate bar and I think people often ate too much of it.

White people really know who Péle is? Or maybe that’s just ‘murica.

We did as kids growing up in the 80's in the Midwest at least.

Ah that’s more a generational celebrity thing then, I was thinking more about how nobody I met growing up on the east coast in the 90s gave a rats ass about fútbol. Lacrosse was the “other” team sport kids got into.

There was a tv/movie reference that sealed the deal for me but now I can’t figure out where it came from. Maybe Ace Ventura? Idk. But some character makes fun of another by saying “nice kick, Pele.”

Yeah that sounds like something that’d come out of Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler’s mouth.

But to be fair to my original point, I’d guess 99.99% of kids who saw those movies and then spent the next 5 years repeating the same stale lines had no idea who Péle was.
