Freakies car. I remember crying so hard when my brother had one that my mom got another box just to shut me up.

That’s my favorite too. It was in Post Honey Comb for me. I had over two dozen of them. They shot the airplanes pretty far. I still have one left, sitting on a display shelf in our main room. I tried to explain it to my wife, but it’s clear to me they she just doesn’t get how cool it was.

When I would go food shopping with my Mom, she would leave me in the cereal isle so I could look through which cereal had the best toy in it

Runner up for me was the Quisp flying saucer that launched Quisp also using rubber band propulsion.
Once cereal toys stopped shooting things, I lost interest.

I was an artistic kid so my 2 faves were the creepy crawlie machine that used "Goop" to create your own colorful bugs and such. Also, there was a product where you bent wires and dipped them is the special liquid which hardened to a translucent plastic, Probably toxic as hell and I burned myself often on that damn Thing Maker machine and it's metal molds.

Quoted from Enchantress:I would only eat white bread as a tike, and this was definitely an incentive.
[quoted image]
Did you eat the crust, too? Or were you making dough balls of the bread

I still have a Thingmaker and several of the sets, including Fright Factory. Hands down the greatest toy ever. The smell of curing plasti-goop at Halloween....fyi, there's someone on ebay who sells "Patti-goop", which is a direct replacement for the goop.

Very Cool....although I think my Godzilla Premium has usurped it as the "greatest toy ever"!

I forgot about the Fright Factory. Glow in the Dark Goop FTW!

stfu.gifQuoted from edward472:I still keep a CRT in my house to watch some of my older media that just doesn't look right on a flat screen. The degauss going on and then off when you turn it on takes me back every time .
[quoted image]
Yeah, but that CRT isn't going to make a 1080P Blu-Ray copy of Batman TAS look very good.

Quoted from CapeCodPin:How about these!?
[quoted image]
I have one I bring out for the kids when I get the pool open. But that one there doesn't have the sealing washer so it is not likely to work well.

I remember having a package, more like a small paper envelope, of Sen Sen as a kid. Each square was about 1/8" and 1/16" thick. It had a strange flavor (and this is coming from someone who likes licorice).
I see it was discontinued in 2013 so the packages on e-bay are at least a decade old. Then again, they always seemed to me like the kind of thing you could put in a time capsule and it would still be OK to eat when in was opened 100 years later.
Here is a quiz
probably before everyone here's time
But what TV family sitcom starred
Paul Hartman as Pop (Albie) (best know as Emmett Clark the handyman on Andy Griffith show)
Fray Wray as the Mother Catherine (from King Kong)
Natalie Wood as the Daughter Anne (from Miracle on 34th St and Rebel without a Cause and West Side Story, to name a few)
And Bobby Hyatt as Junior (Kid & young adult actor from 50s & 60s TV)

Back when a season of TV had 39 episodes (not 6 to 10 episodes we have now with streaming series)
Quoted from bob_e:Sony tri screen TV 1981?
[quoted image]
Wrong manufacturer. It's a Sampo Triscreen Color TV 9519 Ch= CS-19T

Quoted from pinwiztom:cool
Wonder if the 5in screens were in color.
Watch 3 games at once.
Wonder if there was an easy way feature
to switch programs to the big screen from little.
The two smaller screens were monochrome, and intended for use with security cameras.
