The genesis of this was to try and have family/food names AUNTJEMIMA/UNCLEBEN but I couldn't come with more. But then I started thinking about food icons across the board...vegetables, cereal, condiments...Though it's ultimately "just a list" I thought the fact that they were all animated, colorful characters from our childhood would make up for lack of a ton of wordplay.
Sometimes I like to evoke nostalgia or stories for the solver to share. I'm a former standup comic who is part of the storytelling scene here in SF...so I love when solvers share stories that the puzzle has triggered. That's part of the whole constructing/solving experience. I like the idea of the conversation continuing after the solve...or even inspiring others to come up with a follow-up puzzle.
