Welcome to the forum, fellow Des Moineser How about candy cigarettes....they kinda tasted odd. The pink buble gum cigars were awesome...could feel your teeth rot. Yeah those candy cigarettes weren’t very good. They did have a red painted tip though, to emulate a lit cigarette, and that was cool |

Heck I tell my kids about buying Bazooka Joe bubble gum---complete with a comic!---with the two pennies I found on the ground outside and their minds are blown. Nothing in their world costs less than $0.50 and $20 is a decent amount to hit the toy section with. I remember my maternal grandparents (both born around 1920) expressing shock they had spent $30 on a Transformer for me for Christmas (Defensor, #7 below). Some years later they spent $200 on a Discman, but I think by then they understood the "new" cost of things. And back when Electronic Arts wasn't a soulless micro-transaction focused shit company. I stacked several cords of firewood to pay for this game...which wasn't really a game at all, it was work and when you were done building a game you had something really cool, but ultimately a bit deflating since you knew how to solve all the puzzles and missions you'd built. Such is the life of a game developer... |

I remember when going trick or treating on Halloween was a huge event in the surrounding neighborhoods. It's pretty sucky it's dwindled into nothing. I loved going and taking part in scaring people at my friend's highly decorated home. |
