I always liked:

Smokey Joe 'cause he had personality.

Dan, your website is truly a "Temple of Derelict Memories"! I haven't thought about Red Devil Smokey Joes since... 1975 ... and the uncanny-weird perforations at the mouth to get the "cigar" in.

Paging Dr. Freud ... You're needed in the Temple of Derelict Memories... stat.)

Joe was always the last thing left in the box - after those boring snake-pellets and the smoking cabin.

Still, I'd love to see a box of those old '60s and '70s Red Devil fireworks again.

Thanks for the over-30 cultural references once again!

When I was a kid in the 50's,
Smoky Joe was a little black guy
with a bowler hat and vest.

We never thought it was racist or
anything - why would it be?
