The story · 1985

The story of Fast Forward Wafer

Fast Forward Wafer looked like a rented movie, black wrapper and all, down to a little white label spot on the side. Snap it in half and two caramel circles stretched apart like tape reels. Kids ate it during the previews and then spent the whole movie with caramel fingers all over the rental remote.

Fun fact

Snapping it slowly stretched the caramel into a long ribbon, which kids called eating the tape.
