Burger King Kids Club.

By Alex in Food & Drink on Apr 13, 2007 at 12:47 pm

Were you a kid in the early 90s? Then chances are, you’ll remember this: the multi-ethnic Burger King Kids Club.

The members of the gang were:

* Boomer, a sports loving tomboy with red hair;
* I.Q., male nerd who wore red glasses, a green lab coat, and a pocket protector;
* Jaws, A tall African-American male with an insatiable appetite;
* J.D., a dog and the group’s mascot;
* Kid Vid, a male who loves video games and technology (leader of the group);
* Lingo, an multi-lingual, Hispanic male who likes art and carried an easel;
* Snaps, a blonde female who always carries her camera;
* Wheels, a parapalegic male in a wheelchair.

After several years a new female character was added to the group:

* Jazz, an Asian girl who loves music and sports a beret.

Was this a TV show? ‘Cause Burger King still has a a Kid’s Club of sorts. My daughter registered several months ago, then forgot about it. Last week, they sent her a free meal for her birthday!

I remember this. This was the theme for their Kid’s Meals. My favorite cup from Burger King had them all on it; they were in front of x-ray machines, and when you put a cold drink in the cup it revealed the contents of their stomachs. For some reason some of them ate nuts and bolts, remote controls, butterflies, just other junk. I think I remember liking McDonald’s Crescent-Moon-Headed-Man’s toys more, though. I always wondered what happened to that character.

Off subject but did anyone else notice that the Power Rangers consisted of:
Yellow Ranger – an Asian
Black Ranger – an African American
Pink Ranger – the only other girl
plus white dudes.

Early 90′s nothing. This crew is still very much around. Though they seldom show up in commercials, they still festoon the Kids Club mailers and kids meal sacks from time to time.
