At his age, i could barely manage a couple of “Glicks” of soda before the burp popped out. That is, if we were allowed anywhere near a soda – which was very very rarely.
I laughed out loud on this one. My guess is he didn’t want to be sexy, but needed to check out the truth of the commercial. I loved Hobbes’ reaction and his bent tail in #3. When a burp goes up your nose it’s not so much fun then.
I remember when I was young Mad magazine had a comic that used the pepsi commercial "Now It’s Pepsi For Those Who Think Young” to its help the elderly belch.
Reminds me of the Coke commercial with Mean Joe Greene. Had to do many retakes on making it because of Joe burping. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/mean-joe-greene-drank-how-many-cokes-for-that-super-bowl-commercial-150044137.html
i’ ve had that happen to me. think tht the BURP would be a deal breaker unless the other person is interested in a contest to see who can BURRRRRRPPPPPPP THE LOUDEST!

Why is a 6 year old, who wants to Get Rid Of Slimy girlS, so concerned about increasing his sex appeal?

Hard to believe a children’s comic strip in the eighties got away with the words “sex appeal”.

That “right up my nose!” feeling? That’s to prepare you for horseradish and wasabi.

It’s all in the marketing. You can sell just about anything if you tell people it will make them “better” somehow. FOMO works very well, too.

It will certainly improve his six appeal…his appeal to other six-year-olds.
