None, because I'd never had the opportunity to buy any. Thank you for crushing my dreams.
Oh my darling, can't you hear the pleas in my whispers?

Chubby: Uh okay, Dorothy. Here's hopin' Miss Crabtree will be like minded when I propel position her tonight!
What does propel position mean, and how does it affect the gang?

It was an old football play, in which 9 huge Lithuanian offensive linemen opened a hole through the middle big enough to drive a Mack Truck through, and yet the terrified Alfalfa still lateraled the football to Buckwheat.
Why didn't the Starship Enterprise ever land on an Our Gang planet, replete with monkeys, fidgets, bulging cakes, Oelze gags and hand-built vehicles? Shatner could have chewed more scenery than Billy Gilbert would go through in a lifetime.

Because Darla refused to play a Green Orion Slave Girl.

Why, of course, it's the Candy Man... it is said that he makes everything he takes satisfying and delicious... in fact claims have been made (unverified to date) that you can even eat the dishes.
Did it occasionally seem, ancient slurs and cheap race jokes aside, that racial harmony was nonetheless GREATER at the time these shorts were filmed?

I don't understand what you mean. It's always been great.
Was Max crazy, or was there really food there, meaning Farina was the crazy one?

This was a long-standing folie a deux between Davidson and Hoskins; they did the riff (often in Yiddish!) whether there was or wasn't food about. Farina's Yiddish was so good that he briefly became the most admired person in Vilnius. Lithuania, that longtime Jewish haven, and he is a hero to Litvaks to this very date.
What dirt or compromising photos did Darla have on Roach and/or McGowan that enabled her to carry her real-life last name over to Our Gang shorts? Or was it just the monosyllabic thing that carried the day?

Well, Darla's compromising photos of Hal Roach and those silly bulls with mono were of some "interest" to be sure!
What is it with Truant Officers (And Officers of all types!) that can't tell "fidgets" apart from kids?

You see, in those days, all law enforcement officers got their start with the Keystone Kops, who enforced incompetence.
Who dubbed the voice of the tiniest of the fidgets?

Froggy. It was his audition for the Gang. Unfortunately, he passed.
Still, even setting aside the male fidgets, didn't anyone who confused Olive Brasno with a child wonder why she was wearing full makeup?

This was a decided fail by the infamous Smithers, whose son, Waylon, became famous for toadying up to Mr. Burns on "The Simpsons", as well as for his Malibu Stacy collection.
By the way, has any female (not with the surname "Oyl") in fact been NAMED "Olive" in the last 70 years?

[Wikipedia says 2019 is the 100th anniversary of Olive Oyl's first appearance.]
There was only one: Olive the Other Reindeer.
At the end of "Chicken Feed," Mango was thought to be a ghost. How did she get back to normal in the following films, like "Olympic Games," "The Glorious Fourth," "Playin' Hookey," and "The Smile Wins"?

The same way Kenny McCormick returned every being killed off in every episode of "South Park" - everyone just pretended it never happened, and there she was. A little later on it was established that Mango is indeed immortal. It's her greatest gift - and curse. In fact, the entire Hoskins clan is incapable of dying, as evidenced by Farina's ability to avoid getting killed in a train track accident on two separate occasions.
What did Stymie's father do for a living?

What did Buckwheat's father do?

He was the famed poet Langston Hughes. Buckwheat was actually a master of English-language diction; he faked up the speech infelicities so he could get chosen for the part.
Was there some key gene lacking in the general Culver City area which prevented people from being able to tell real bears from guys in bear costumes?
