I guess you are too young to have experienced the sharp soda pull-tabs of the 70s and early 80s. :coy:

Yes, they did cause cuts and some people even stuffed them inside the can before drinking them erroneously believing that it couldn't be swallowed. :smirk:
oh my gosh i know what u are talking about i cut my self on them at sometime wow they where crazy i can not belive that some people would put them in the can while drinking from the can that is crazy . Is that really one of those tabs on the necklace that is cool i can not wait to see your video that would be so cool " hugs "

I didn't think of Mokey's necklace being made of beads I thought it was wovan threads like those in friendship bracelets just made with differn't coloured threads. As for the sliver thing I thought it was a pop tab for sure. I noticed in later episoads she wore a kind of shaet thingie. Not sure the reason for it maybe akind of purse or religous or maybe just a personal thing she has.

Well, the Fraggles did change over time. I mean, Gobo went from a inquisitive Fraggle to being the leaderly Fraggle he became in future episodes. So perhaps the change in clothes was Mokey's way of having character development of sorts.

Well, it was so small I am going to go with the idea that they were beads (Even in my fanfic version of the FR world where they are a part of her backstory) :3. I'm sure she had more than one necklace but for being simples sake I'm just going to do the soda tab one..I worked very hard for it after all :excited:

To each their own, I suppose.
Well, golly, it's not like I am ever going to be near enough to the real Mokey puppet to check for sure *lol* And friendship bracelet weaving has always been hard for me with my cerebral palsy anyway even if it was true. So beads with cultural background in the rock it is :excited:!

Who knows? With the way you write, you could become a Muppet writer (and don't forget that writers oversee performances).
