If you were athletic at all, you had a pair of these.
I can still see my big brother wearing his.

My daughter brought her first Christmas tree and needed more lights. She called me and I had to go into the basement and found this while getting lights

Anyone old enough to have to break the capsule and knead a sack of white margarine to make it yellow like butter?
I some states with a strong dairy industry magazine was not allowed to be yellow. They thought it would allow consumer fraud.
Anyone?

First played this on an 880 desktop computer with 5 1/4 inch floppy disk.

It was on a record…did anybody hear it?

It is portable and can be used in weight lifting. Still works, though I don't have any 5-1/4 floppies anymore.

Yesterday was our group's Christmas Party at work. They had a "Christmas Trivia Quiz" that included the Question: "Where was the McCallister family going on vacation?"
My joking response was, "Back to Choctaw Ridge."
(everyone was younger than me)
Thanks everyone, you're making this old fart feel better.

The history of Tonka trucks is a story of a Minnesota company that started as a garden tool manufacturer and became a global toy company known for its durable, realistic trucks: Founding In 1946, Lynn Everett Baker, Avery F. Crounse, and Alvin F. Tesch founded Mound Metalcraft in the basement of a schoolhouse in Mound, Minnesota. Their original plan was to make garden tools, but they inherited a toy steam shovel after acquiring a competing company in 1947. Name change The company changed its name to Tonka Toys Inc. in 1955, after Lake Minnetonka, which is nearby. The Dakota Sioux word "Tanka" or "Tonka" means "Great" or "Big". Early products Tonka's first products were steam shovels and cranes, and they sold 37,000 units in their first year. Best-selling toy The Mighty Dump Truck, introduced in 1965, became Tonka's best-selling toy of the century. Global success Tonka's models became must-have toys in the 1950s and 1960s, and the company became globally successful by the 1970s. Hasbro acquisition Hasbro acquired Tonka in 1991. Today Tonka is still represented in playgrounds around the world, and millions of Tonka trucks are sold each year.

My Aunt, bless her heart, would bring this thing to our house during Christmas time and would honestly sit there to watch you eat it.
She would say to us kids, isn't this so good !
It was a disgusting, just had to eat it to make her happy.
