Hello, and welcome to a new month of Show Me Something, one of my very favorite threads.

I am starting out April with a tribute to one of our best that is no longer with us. This is a group of his CB&Q EMD hood unit locomotives.

Please show me another EMD hood unit.

How about an REA express reefer.

Yipes, stripes. (bonus points if you can identify the 1960s ad campaign that used this expression).

I used to really like Fruit Stripe gum!


Broad, colorful stripes (perhaps a carload of Fruit Stripe gum flavorings?)

I liked Fruit Stripe gum too. In fact, just thinking about it gives me the cravings for some which I probably haven't chewed in over 50 years.

I'm surprised they were still using the slogan in 1991 although not the full jingle.

Yipes, stripes, Beech-Nut's got 'em

Yipes, stripes, in Fruit Stripe Gum

Yipes, stripes, five different flavors
