01/12/2004 Entry: "Freezy Freakies?"

I've gotten a bunch of e-mails about this, and while I don't have enough material about the things to work an entire article around, they're certainly worthy of a mention. A lot of you seem to recall owning a pair of really cool gloves that featured words and/or characters that appeared and disappeared as they got colder and warmer. You're not crazy -- they really existed, and they were called "Freezy Freakies."

At the peak of the gloves' popularity, it seemed like every kid had a pair. At that young age, it was really difficult to pick "cool clothes." We usually had our terminally unhip mothers guiding the shopping experience, and that matched with the low-rent stores our outfits were purchased at made for some major fashion faux plural-of-pas. With the advent of Freezy Freakies, at least you had your hands covered. Everybody thought Freezy Freakies were cool.

Shown above is one of the old favorites -- the "Robot" Freezy Freakies. When cold, a robot would appear under the title. Other gloves had schemes to delight both male and female audiences, and eventually, there were a number of knockoff gloves that used the same mechanics for more recognizable cartoon characters. They haven't been made for years, save for the occasional "retro month" at some "boutique" that's brave enough to use the Freezy Freakies copyright without permission. Even at the deepest corners of the collector's market, they're tragically hard to find. If you're lucky enough to find a pair, buy 'em immediately. If you were smart enough to hold on to a pair since childhood, do the right thing and give 'em here.

Even if you couldn't throw a lick, "Freezy Freakies" made snowball fights so much fun.

Dood! I remember these!!! I wanted some desperately but I don't think the folks caved. They did for my bro, though. He had a pair. Hell, even my neighbors, whose parents were the cheapest SOBs around, both had some. I would gladly relate how cheap the neighbors were if anyone wants to know.

Chestnuts roasted by Killer Duck @ 01/12/2004 01:57 AM EST

I agree with chopstick sensei I also grew up in southern California and I used to use my plain mittens to eat otter pops. I stained them blue.

Chestnuts roasted by pikachulover @ 01/12/2004 02:04 AM EST

I don't remember these. But I do remember wanting a knee-length winter coat that my three best friends had. They were neon colours, almost like a neo quilt with really big patches. My parents said no, and I ended up with a lime green snowsuit with hot pink accents. When I look back, my snowsuit kicked the long coat's ass, because I could roll around in the snow without getting my pants all wet and snowy.

Chestnuts roasted by Gabbylicious @ 01/12/2004 02:24 AM EST

Oh man, I totally had those robot freazy freakies as a kid! I thought they were the best. I had some other pairs later but I will always remember the robots because I was robot-obsessed, as with many kids. I think I may have worn Freakies long after they were fashionable and moved into the 'you get picked on for them' stage, but then my sister had them too (it was an age thing I guess). In the summer, I always kept mine in the freezer.

Chestnuts roasted by Kit @ 01/12/2004 02:39 AM EST

I only vaugely (SP) remember those but I would love to have a pair now. If they didn't, they should have made ones with super heros and when it's warm the glove shows just the normal person (i.e. Peter Parker) and then when it gets cold they go away and out comes the super hero (i.e. Spiderman)
That would be boss.

Anything that changes color immediately has cool factor points in its corner. As for Robots, more points for that too.

Chestnuts roasted by Don't Touch, Willy @ 01/12/2004 09:22 AM EST

damn I'm jealos I don't think Ive ever seen these, and they are the coolest thing ever. I want em right now.

Chestnuts roasted by brandon @ 01/12/2004 09:55 AM EST

I had a pair...they were light purple with a rainbow across them, and a cute little unicorn appeared when they got cold. And surprisingly, I still have them!

Chestnuts roasted by Pam @ 01/12/2004 10:35 AM EST

I loved those Freezy Freakies. I like every single other kid in my school had a pair. I don't remember which ones i had exactly but i remember i had gloves that had pictures appear on them in the cold.

Chestnuts roasted by Bright Noah @ 01/12/2004 10:43 AM EST

Ahem.... I take offense at the suggestion that robots would not appeal to females. When I was a kid I always played with the "boy" toys, and any Barbies I may have owned usually ended up being tortured and killed by a team of Lego men and Batman action figures.

...Although I have to admit, I did have a particular fondness for My Little Ponies.

At any rate, I never heard of those gloves but I can't believe they're not still on the market. They're one of those fun AND practical toys. Trippy robots, magic pictures, what's not to like? How did they work?

Chestnuts roasted by Kristen @ 01/12/2004 11:34 AM EST

I used to have a Super Powers Mr. Freeze that would change color in the freezer. And, yeah, it was cool.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 01/12/2004 12:12 PM EST

Hey, Matt, I've been catching up on your site again because I need something to do now that I've been working full time again. You're doing a nice variety now, and your writing has improved. Hey, you even inspired me to start writing long, drawn out articles again. Keep it up!

Chestnuts roasted by Aaron @ 01/12/2004 12:22 PM EST

I was going to ask if Zartan changed colors in the freezer but I think it was with a light bulb or sun or whatever. Ditto his siblings.
How cheap my neighbors were- They have two kids, son and daughter. They're adults now but we all hung out as little 'uns. One year for Xmas they gave their son something like a Voltron lions set (kickass) and OPtimus Prime. They gave their daughter a television for her bedroom. Thing is, the tv had been the one in the family room. They got new TV for the family room and gave her the old tv. I remember being stunned that parents would do that. In fact, I am still stunned looking back. The daughter is now a research scientist.

Chestnuts roasted by Killer Duck @ 01/12/2004 01:39 PM EST

I too had the unicorn ones that Pam brought up. I think the figers of the gloves were decorated in this rainbow pattern. My mom ordered my niece (yes, I have a niece my age) and I the gloves from the Sears Catalouge, and we got them in the mail in August, and I remember doing things such as putting ice cubes and water on the gloves to make the unicorn appear.

I must think about those things once a week.

Chestnuts roasted by Anita @ 01/12/2004 01:51 PM EST

Zartan had kneepads and a chestplate that were temperature sensitive. Little Brother got two Zartans one Christmas. One became the subject of experimentation involving a B.A.T. and a Buck Rodgers figure, with the help of a small screwdriver and the whispered commands of my TransFormers.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 01/12/2004 02:07 PM EST

I wish I had robot mittens. Mittens are much like a de-evolution, one that gives you two fingers. They make snowball fights a bitch. But if they turned into -robot- gloves, then it'd be worth it!

I in no way meant that last comment to sound like a hate comment. Although reading it now, I can see how some may interprit it as such.
Ah what the hell, everybody knows that turkeys are the supreme fowls/poultrys. Chickens/ducks and I think partridges beware...
Turkey Power!!!!

Um...I have had to explain to king before that I am not really a duck, I just play one on TV. King, I am still trying to figure out what state you live in (I was guessing Oklahoma). I don't fight anymore. I have been trying to give up the violent part of my life except for watching horror movies. And collecting knives. But I don't use the knives. Well, except to cut food but that's a different knife. And well, knives for hobbies and shit...and throwing knives but I only throw at targets. That are not alive. Well hay bales and cork and wood used to be alive but I don't even throw at trees (can damage them, according to the guy who taught me to throw). Aw hell I don;t know why I feel compelled to explain.

Chestnuts roasted by Killer Duck @ 01/12/2004 05:13 PM EST

It's Oklahoma, Duck. And it could be just a heated game of Scrabble. Loser recieves a wedgie. Whatever blows your hair back. In my culture, women always carried knives. Knives are cool.

The neon tetra's or whatever are really common around southern Idaho, everybody's got them, and they look kick ass as far as I'm concerened. Of course I always wanted one of those see-through catfish.

well here's something randomly unrelated, I was reminicing over old articles here on x-e, and double agent 73 came up. I used the search on the main page, and found mr t's recepie for sexy things to do w/ land o' lakes butter. but no acctual review. Are there still some things missing matt?

Chestnuts roasted by Killer Duck @ 01/12/2004 07:13 PM EST

Okay, sorry, Matt, please forgive me for thinking this, but, for whatever reason, the way the gloves look in that photograph, without the thumbs visible, reminds me exactly of the sort of, ahem, "novelty items" that they sell at Montreal's world famous La Capoterie store, of the sort made out of Latex and moulded and painted to resemble everything from elephant trunks to Pikachu.

(Well, I'm more familiar with one of La Capoterie's competitors, which is about a block away from Cordia University, but that picture of those gloves would not look out of place in one of La Capoterie's ads.)

Chestnuts roasted by Steve Brandon @ 01/12/2004 09:09 PM EST

"Cordia University"... I meant Concordia University. Damn, I've had to correct myself twice in one day.

Chestnuts roasted by Steve Brandon @ 01/12/2004 09:11 PM EST

I do remember "Freaky Freezies," but I don't think I ever had a pair - they were expensive and I've always hated mittens. It's too hard to grip handlebars or snowballs with them.

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 01/12/2004 09:45 PM EST

I went to the grocery store a few hours ago. They didn't have Chocodiles nor was there a shelf tag for them (hey, I can wish, can't I?). But I did buy a couple of double decker Moonpies. I never knew they sold them there. Ate one and it was friggin good.

Chestnuts roasted by Killer Duck @ 01/12/2004 10:49 PM EST

Whoa...an item that everyone's heard of but me? I must've missed out somethin' awful as a kid.

Or maybe it had something to do with the fact that no self-respecting kid would handicap himself so badly in a snowball fight by wearing mittens...that would've been suicide in my little corner of the Boston suburbs...

Chestnuts roasted by Monster Dog @ 01/12/2004 11:52 PM EST

Don't feel bad Monster Dog, I am 100% clueless on these items too. They look hella cool though and I would wear them now if I could find them.

Does anyone remember the silver and blue ones that would turn green with a kind of "fence" like pattern? I lost these and my mother wouldn't let me have any pie. Not coincidentally, this was the same day my two brothers lost their mittens too. Oh well, we all know fruit is better for you. POMEGRANATE!

Chestnuts roasted by Freezy Freakies are NU! NU! NU! @ 01/13/2004 02:50 AM EST

Despite your mangling of words, I understood it...I don't know what to think maybe being tired makes my brain function differently. Hot Potato was a game with two teams of contestants, either 3,4 or 5 people on a side (I can't remember), all who had something in common. You might see doctors against nurses or cops against firefighters or pilots against flight attendants. Anyway, Bill Cullen would read a question that had multiple answers, such as "Name 8 of the 15 most populated cities in the world?" Then one team would have a go. They'd keep guessing until they either guessed wrong or passed the "hot potato" to the other team. This meant that team A one person would pick a person from team B to answer. If the team B person answered right, the person on team A who challenged would have to sit out, if the person answered wrong he would have to sit out. The bonus round was similar except only one team played and no one sat out.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 01/13/2004 05:23 AM EST

YOu know...I actually still do have a pair of those in the big basket of doom on my front porch. Actually, sayign that I have a pair may be a misnomer...I more than likely have 1...maybe 1.5. It all depends on if my dog got to them.

If I find them/it, I'll ship it down to NJ. Having meathooks for hands makes it hard to wear kids gloves around campus.

Dreaming of TurDucKen Voltron.....eew
I never heard of Freezer Freakies either, but they sound cool. My family unit lived the entire 70's in the San Francisco Bay Area, so when we came back to southwest OK, I spent most of my winters indoors. But, there is that undefinable joy in a snowball fight. Splak! Hey, that one had a rock in it!

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 01/13/2004 11:53 AM EST

I don't know if I had the Freezies or just a cheap knock-off. Knowing my mom, it was whatever was on sale....But I do know I had a stellar pair of Moon Boots. Moon Boots should come back...well, not here in Florida...that would be silly.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 01/13/2004 01:47 PM EST

Moon Boots in the Sunshine State, sounds fine to me. Dadaism amongst the Deco.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 01/13/2004 02:02 PM EST

Yep, i had a pair of these. I believe that mine were golves though, not mittens with lightning bolts that appeared on the back of the hand. Bought at Venture, a Chicagoland K'mart type store, but it was better, it was VENTURE.

Heeloyd Update:

well i still havent gotten my computer fixed or a new one, so i pulled out my lego collection and sorted them out and i'm going to take a pic of each set for my inventory im making.

Also been working on my car, got a new stereo and some stuff for it.

The world is a lot different without my own computer, but I seem to be doing just fine.

Also an Atkins update: I have lost about 15 pounds in the past two weeks, and I'm feelin great!! ^_^

Back to the mittens...they're apparently far before my time. Odds are that by the time I would have been able to remember them - say, 1990 - they were dead.

That's the one bad thing about XE for me...seeing all of the cool things you old fogies had when you were growing up. Ah well - at least I'll still be young and nubile while you're in Florida with your oatmeal and shuffleboard games.

Hey Duckie, It do get super cold down here, just not as often. I heard, once on the radio news, a DJ from way up north blow soap bubbles on the coldest day of the year. All you heard was a kind of musical sound as the flash-frozen spheres shattered on the sidewalk. At least here in Stack o'Pancakes, OK I have the comfort of knowing that if there is a snap-a-cat-in-half kind of freeze, there's a couple thou' other residents suffering as much as me.

Killer Duck, thanks for reminding me why I moved to Nevada. It's a delicious 45 degrees today in the Biggest Little City, and we've had maybe a total of 2 inches of snow all winter.

Give it another month and it'll be around 55-60 every day...and in the summer we hit 95, but with nay a drop of humidity.

I miss the ocean, I miss Newburyport, I miss fall color. But I don't miss much else about New England.

Chestnuts roasted by Nachokhaki @ 01/14/2004 06:10 PM EST

Kristen, over night we were around -20 with the wind chill and that's not too common down here. The next few days are going to be bitterly cold. Today's high was 4. Four degrees F. Because the wind died down the wind chill made it feel like -13. This kind of weather you go outside and it hurts to breathe in unless you wear a scarf or a ski mask. Even then it hurts a bit. Your eyes burn but it's the moisture on them freezing up. Shit, INSIDE my house the temperature is around 40 degrees and that's with the heater on (drafty house). Kristen I can believe you completely that it's that cold because all our air is coming from Canada right now. Nice and fresh though :) Next time can you try to warm it a little?

Chestnuts roasted by Killer Duck @ 01/14/2004 06:13 PM EST

It's really pretty nice in Colorado right now. I like. :D I hate being cold and I hate snow and winter, but I love CO so I have to deal with it.

So last night I took a different way home from school downtown, and this is a stretch of I-25 N I've never been on before (having always got off before/got on after it). And so I turn my head to the left and, lo and behold, shining in the night sky - HOME OF WONDER BREAD/HOSTESS CAKES.

Holy SHIT. We have one!! It's the X-E effect in action, too. Matt reviews a movie or some item, and suddenly it's on or you find it. Beautiful.

Too bad I'm on Atkins right now (but thirty lost pounds is damn worth it...)

Chestnuts roasted by Amanda Swiftgold @ 01/14/2004 06:31 PM EST

Nachokhaki - Sorry if I offended you. I'm usually not this bad...I'm just a bit cranky today. Midterms are NOT fun to take. Good thing I'm finished...

Besides...doesn't XE need at least one angsty teen poster? :)

The shuffleboard part was a joke, but I'm still jealous of all the cool things you had when you were growing up - what with color changing mittens and the like.

Chestnuts roasted by Paul @ 01/14/2004 06:35 PM EST

Not offended at all, Paul! Unfortunately, sarcasm doesn't carry well into text. Perhaps I shoulda put "" in front of my comment.

But, see, there are some benefits to being "old" like no more freaking midterms!

Well, I just saw Exorcist 3 for the first time. All I can say is this- I dunno what the hell those giant shears were used for but I hope I never see any if I go to a hospital. I was surprised, though. It was a decent movie. Less gore than I expected, for some reason. Still, though, out five stars, I'd go with 3 and a half, possibly four.

turkeys can't fly: Foufounes (Electriques)? Dunno... I'm a Montreal anglophone and I've never been into punk. I thought Foufounes was mainly for Francophone punkers.

Honestly, the last time (actually, the only time) I saw a non-comedy show at a bar was seeing Shonen Knife at the long-closed Woodstock back in 1994, and, I liked seeing them in person, but the place was so packed that it was sweltering (and it was only june), and there was nowhere to sit except for a few tattered couches, and... meh, that one experience kind of put me off ever seeing another show like that at a bar ever again.
