ClayFighter
ClayFighter is a fighting game released for the Super NES in 1993 and later ported to Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994. It was later released on Nintendo's Virtual Console.
Most of the game features a circus theme focused more on humor than serious gameplay. It features claymation-style graphics that were created by photographing and digitizing actual clay models.
The game was one of the two "clay" themed game franchises made by Interplay, the second being a platformer titled Claymates.
History
ClayFighter's design was originally made to compete with fighting games such as Mortal Kombat, but without the heavy violence and gore that was becoming controversial. Interplay pushed the game saying "Parents who object to blood-and-guts games now have an alternative title that gives kids the kind of intense action they want to see in fighting games" to draw sales.
Plot
A meteor made entirely out of clay crash-lands on the grounds of a humble American circus. The goo from the interstellar object contaminates all of the circus' attractions, transforming them into bizarre caricatures of their former selves, with new superpowers.
Taffy (candy)
Taffy, or chews, are a type of candy similar to toffee. Taffy is often sold alongside bubblegum and hard candy. Taffy is made by stretching or pulling a sticky mass of boiled sugar, butter or vegetable oil, flavorings, and coloring until it becomes aerated (meaning that tiny air bubbles are produced, resulting in a light, fluffy and chewy candy). When this process is complete, the taffy is rolled, cut into small pastel-coloured pieces and wrapped in wax paper to keep it soft. It usually has a fruity flavor, but other flavors are common as well, including molasses and the classic unflavored taffy.
Salt water taffy was a noted invention of Atlantic City, New Jersey, and became a common souvenir of many coastal resort towns. Modern commercial taffy is made primarily from corn syrup, glycerin and butter. The pulling process, which makes the candy lighter and chewier, consists of stretching out the mixture, folding it over and stretching it out again. Although it is called "salt water" taffy, it does not include any salt water in its manufacture at all. In the nearby Philadelphia regional dialect, the term "taffy", without "salt water" before it, used to refer to a lollipop or sucker.

Bambina (Idoli song)
"Bambina" is the third single by the Serbian band Idoli. It was chosen to be the only single from the Čokolada album which was the band's highest commercial peak.
History
Having finished the tour for Odbrana i poslednji dani the band started writing new material for a new release which was planned to be a double EP. The record company, Jugoton, did not agree and decided to release Čokolada as a long play record.
"Bambina" was chosen as the promo single first given only to radio stations and later, due to large popularity, appeared for sale as well. As the writer of the song also appeared Dušan Gerzić partially because he was the writer of the track "Čokolada" which was intended for the band Via Talas, but Šaper presented it as an Idoli song. The B-side was chosen to be "Stranac u noći" ("Stranger In The Night").
