    21:14 - That is Rosita! She's a Mexican monster and first appeared on Sesame Street in 1991 (WAY after my time... I was a senior in high school). 21:22 - That is indeed Zoe! 26:31 - The box of Wheaties was for Maryland, the athlete on the box is Cal Ripken Jr, who played his entire career with the Baltimore Orioles and holds the record for most consecutive games played in MLB at 2,632 (previous record holder was Lou Gehrig with 2,130 - Ripken surpassed that record on September 6, 1995).

    If you go first in tic tac toe you can guarantee a win. Just put your first three marks in the corners. You will have two options to win diagonal and one on the edge. Your opponent can only block one. This only works if you go first.

    Thanks a lot. Enjoyed the video and museum. However, what I see is the massive thematic display with the "nostalgia items" , very suitable for adults born in 70-s, 80-s, 90-s , cause they had and loved these toys, probably interconnected with some deep memories. The modern kid will go through it, constantly looking at his/her phone and will see in all of these only old toys, that even not possible to touch / play with.
