      It has been said that in the restaurant in the 1965 scene, the woman asks her son for a Cherry Coke and that Cherry Coke wasn't created until 1985. However, in the 50's and 60's, a popular drink was a Cherry Coke, using plain Coca-Cola and adding maraschino cherries and (sometimes) cherry juice.

    What's Not to Love?

    When my sister brought home the movie 'Blast From the Past' from the video store, I can tell you, I was not pleased. It looked really sappy and I'm not a big fan of Alicia Silverstone. During the opening credits I was surprised to see such a great cast; Dave Foley, Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek. It was one of the funniest movies I've seen. I went out and bought it after we returned it. Too many good parts to describe. As you can tell from my screen name, I have a bit of a 'thing' for Dave Foley, and I was not disappointed with this movie at all. A guaranteed laugh out loud. My whole family liked it, so I can recommend it to everyone! What a laugh!
