The stick that changed the world

What was it about Stick Stickly that made Nickelodeon afternoons so enjoyable? Better yet, why did they base a whole block of quality programming around a popsicle stick with eyes?

Either way, that whole summer was spent watching Stick Stickly in the afternoon. I even remember the jingle to write to him. Sad I know.

Now you wanna know what it was don't you?

"Write to me, Stick Stickly, PO Box 963. New York City, New York State 10108"

It takes a special person...

Stick wasn't alone either. He had Holly B Wood (her beeper's on and her hair looks good) who was nothing more than an ice cream stick with hair.

Perhaps the best segment was "Dip Stick" where fans could write in and choose what to dip him into.

Or there was that WHOLE SUMMER where a camera and a Popsicle stick went around finding celebrities to chew a gumball so that it could be put into the "Chewed Gumball hall of fame"

Oh the memories....
