The more I think about it, that probably was the right name. What a stupid name. I thought KidWhiz was a lot cooler, but leave it to Burger King to be difficult. What the crap does Vid stand for anyway? Vid...eo? Or perhaps Vid is an Icelandic variation of the word "whiz".

Me being a total loser, I had to know who was who so I did a search on Google. Wheels was the wheelchair guy, Kid Vid was the hip, early 90's conformist skateboarder with all the crazy gear and IQ was the nerdy graphing calculator guy. This time was better spent than doing actual work though.

The more I think about it, there's a little of everyone from the Burger King Kid's Club embodied in Roberto. That is, except for the black kid that plays basketball. I'm gonna call him "hoops." Roberto is not represented in that kid. I wonder what Roberto will think when he (inevitably) reads all this...

Oh, kudos to you Marty for the research.

Sorry, it's early in the morning when I type this stuff.
