Something here.. I havent written it out yet .. but here you go

Donald Frostsky




The magic of Rocker Poppeteers began in Minot, ND on one chilly Tuesday in 1958 with husband and wife team of Ralph and Ruby Frostsky. Ralph an ex-Air Force pilot and Ruby, a confectioner originally from Cooper Landing Alaska, Wanted to give back to their hard-working, loyal community.
Using Ruby's confectionary skills, Ralph decided to give the children of Minot something so delicious they would feel like they were "flying to the moon!"
That spring, the Frostskys distributed homemade ice pops out of their garage to local area patriots. Their flavor-filled delights were an instant sensation and in early 1959, the Frostskys decided to expand.
The frostskys migrated their business to local Minot factory, producing more ice pop varieties and the prototype or their now-classic Rocket Poppeteers ice pops. With the birth of their son, Donald, the Frostskys were inspired to take the brand to new heights.
The introduction of Captain "Coop" Cooper and his battle against Red Cosmo helped launch Rocket poppeteers' sales into the stratosphere. The Frostskys had finally realized their American dream.
Rocket poppeteers' sales continued to skyrocket over the next two decades, as Ralph supplied his heroic Air Force friends with the frozen treats necessary to in a Cold War, and ad Ruby and Donald restructured production to maximize efficiency, fun and deliciousness.
Did you know that Donald Frostsky's favorite flavor is Cherry Brain Blast?
What's your favorite flavor?
In the spring of 1980, after an unfortunate incident at the factory, the Frostskys decided to close the doors of Rocker Poppeteers and focus on raising their family. The factories were all shuttered, machines intact, and the business quietly slipped from the public eye.
However , observant children knew that the threat of Red Cozmo was far from over and captain "Coop" Cooper may need then again once ( Cannot see this part)
If the Frostky's Minot factory can make 11,400 rocker Poppeteers ice pops per hour, how many ice pops can they make per minute?
Per day?
Per Year?
In 2010 Rocket Poppeteers welcomed a highly unexpected resurgence of interest from loyal cadets far and wide and reactivated its factories with a mission to inspire a new generation of children.
Introducing a brand new patriotic flavor to its Super Speedflier Fleet, Rocket Poppeteers quickly assumed its former glory as a champion in the industry. Today, Rocket Poppeteers has factories in six states, and over 200 mobile trucks operating around the country.
Rocket Poppeteers is proud to remain a mom and "pop" owned and operated business to this day, currently under the caring and watchful eye of Donald Frostsky.


Ps I tried to leave in the typos,, but may have fixed them...eh im sure the site has this now .. so ...blahhhh

 		ahh!!!
So RP has a whole bunch of stuff that is new. The legacy section is open and who knows what else! I'm so exciting to be one of the first posting this! Let's get to it. Very Happy

EDIT: Looking around it seems that the only thing new is the RP Legacy page. Which actually has a fun little story with nice "kid friendly" pictures. But the picture of the map in the back ground seems curious to me. Don't know why.

 		Thanks for all that typing Jane - hope your green beans didn't get cold! Smile

I wonder if this will lead us to other websites or if everything will be through RP.

Oh well, I'm gonna start digging!

 		OK, for everybody without Chrome and IE, I did the screenshots of the story about Rocket Poppeteers:
http://merzmensch.blogspot.com/2011/03/super8-entstehungsgeschichte-von-rocket.html

Now the questions are popping up:

* What was happened 1980, why the production of RP was stopped after all the years so sudden?
* What do we know about Family Frostsky?
* Who the heck is personificated by Red Cozmo? I mean, the times of Cold War it was surely USSR, but now?..

 		Aw man! I'm using Chrome and the site still doesn't work for me Sad It's just loading forever and then comes up the "site doesn't answer" message. I don't know what to do.

 		Try to clear the cash of Chrome. My chrome crushed for a while, before it load the website again. Or better restart Chrome (stopping it with task manager before).

 		The Frostsky's
I can't find anything about the Frostsky family. I agree though, whatever happened in the 80's for them to close down shop is going to be important to the game....possibly.....maybe....i'm always thrown for a loop when it comes to this game though.

 		OK this is weird...

190 per minute
11,400 per second
273,600 per day
99,864,000 per year

190+11400+273600+99864000 = 100149190

http://unixtimesta.mp/100149190

Monday 5th March 1973 Shocked

And 99,864,000 on its own is 1st of March, There's probably nothing in this though...


I've not seen the text like the screen Jane Smith posted, it looks like a bug in their site, that's the same text that's meant to appear on top of the the map, right?
