daily knowledge: one of the characters that the jim henson company created prior to sesame street, while they were still heavily into the commercial business, was the la choy dragon.
on top of promoting the la choy brand of chow mein, which he claimed was as crisp as the takeout kind since it was QUICK COOKED IN DRAGON FIRE, he would generally fuck shit up when he was on screen. it was a unique challenge for henson and his team to nail down the dragon's fire breathing effect, but for the 1960s, i think they did a good job.
