Growing up in the 80's, we had some of the most amazing food and snacks. After school, we'd get a bag of Cooler Ranch Doritos, a Hostess Chocolate Pudding Pie, and wash it all down with a Jolt cola. We would get home, play some Nintendo, and then burn the roof of our mouth on some molten-hot Totino's Pizza Rolls. Dad would come home and we'd settle in for a TV Dinner of Salisbury steak, whipped potatoes, and peas and carrots. For desert, we'd re-burn the roof of our mouths on the cherry pie. Here's part 1 of Latch-Key Dads talking about 80s food. Enjoy!

On this gripping episode of Latch-Key Dads, Tim and Greg dare to crack open a topic long kept behind closed doors. A question whispered in hushed tones, dismissed by the mainstream, yet burning for answers. A debate so controversial, so bizarrely profound, it might just change how you see cinema forever.

If you could remake any movie—and replace all but one character with Muppets… which film would you choose?
