I never called it, but I remember seeing the commercials.

I wonder how many kids actually got their parents permission. If I remember correctly, the charge just showed up on your phone bill, so it's not like you had to call with a credit card. I imagine so many poor parents opening that phone bill and screaming back then. 😯😄

@admin at least they were explicit about "asking for parents' permission".

@costume-n00b Haha. I suspect it was legally required but indeed!

It kind of surprises me they talked John Erwin and Melendy Britt into it.  I'd be curious as to what stories were told.  It sounds like paying to mostly hear a sales pitch on merch to buy.

@firefly That may be Britt but that does not sound like John Erwin to me.
