Hahahah. Reminds me of the the old magazines my mom found under the mattress when I was a young lad.

"What's THIS??! Huh? Where'd you get THIS?? Bet your eyes were popping out when you saw that, weren't they? ANSWER ME! You have anymore? Because they're allll going out in the garbage. And your grounded too."

Manners in youths. Has that been said yet?

I was up in Redding California last year. My wife and I went to the local mall and two teenagers opened the door to the mall for us. They were regular looking kid nothing unusual about them except there gracious smiles. My wife and I were in a state of shock and didn't know how to respond. So I just muttered thank you and walked in.

Maybe I'm showing how young I am, but Dino Eggs cereal anyone? And who had the little racing tracks with the little cars that you held a button and they went flying around a track? I used to love burning those out and sending them flying I'll se if I can find some pics.

You can still find it from time to time (Halloween especially)
But it's not often any longer to see the General Mills monster cereals.

Franken-berry, Boo-berry, Count-Chocula.

My phone wouldn't let me post a pic so my apologies.

I had one like it as well, but I don't remember the players being those colors Well, truth be told there is a lot I don't remember !

This was the coolest gift I got as a kid besides my 5speed bike

Found them! They were called slot cars, I had a track similar to this one but it was a two lane and it covered an entire bed I loved these things!

Here's a huge 8 lane track race, this kind of stalling and flying off the track was what happened whenever you pushed it full throttle, was I the only one who remembers these?

You can buy Franken-berry, Boo-berry, Count-Chocula around here all the time. The two flavors that disappeared years ago were Fruity Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute

My dad was a designer in the toy department at Mattel in the early '70s. I vividly remember him bringing home a Sizzler setup. It was awesome!!

These were kind of fun:

Dude. You were supposed to paint the players some uniforms on to match your favorite teams. Testor's model paint. Start with the flesh parts and work your way out to the shoes. Bonus points for painting the player bases to match the color of the "turf".

Anyone here ever own a johnny seven?

Haven't had time to go through this entire thread yet. I'm sure there are lots of memories for me here. One thing I'm certain you don't see anymore is cigarettes for 45 cents a pack. That's how much they cost in the old machine in the laundromat around the corner from my house when I started smoking at around 12 years old. Pretty sure they were 60 cents everywhere else.

And fer those into HO and Aurora racing, anyone ever get into this stuff. For me it was standard fare anytime I got a new car:
