Flashlight Food
February 14th, 2008
Do you remember when Bobby and Cindy got lost in the Grand Canyon? (Lucky dogs! I thought so even when I was 10.) Well, for those of you who are not familiar with the Brady Bunch, what happens is these two cute kids get lost in the Grand Canyon. They wander around for a while and then they run into this native american boy, who takes pity on them and does the coolest thing ever: he brings them dinner in an empty flashlight! Yeah! So here they are eating beans and franks out of an empty metal flashlight. So cool!!! Man, I was so wanting to eat out of a flashlight after I saw that (keep in mind again, I was 10.)
Today it dawned on me that it would never happen like that now. We’ve got these tiny LED lights that are smaller than most franks. (I guess this is what you think about during your 1,345,654,345th commute via the Bay Bridge.)

OK, P. Ummm….don’t Bobby & Cindy bring the flashlight full of grub to the native american boy in the canyon? And isn’t it THEN that they get lost and the whole “Bobby!…Cindy!…” chorus ensues?
This is what my 10 year old brain remembers. Not that I’m still 10, but I was then & you get the point. God, I wish I was still 10.
Anyone else’s tiny mind remember the facts?
And, yeah, you’re right. You couldn’t fit even 1 bean in today’s LEDs, much less one frank. You’d have to repurpose your 2 oz titanium trekking poles for a decent meal these days.

I think you’re right. Actually I tried to get information on this episode and found out that they got lost while following the boy.
What can I say….I was 10, I have no idea how it went, all I know is it all looked like so much darn fun!
Anyone else remember this episode? Set us straight!
