yeah with a exp date of June 77 right?


oh man and Big wheels.... Holy shit i used to kill those

i scoured my neighborhood looking for an ASHTRAY last friday.

not one place in my big city neighborhood sold 'em!

oh, i could find any kind of cigarette or cigar i wanted, but nothing to put 'em out in.

i even came across butterfinger-flavored lube. who wants to squirt something down there that tastes like butterfinger? that's NASTY! but apparently it's more in-demand than a damn ashtray!

so anyway, yeah. ashtrays.

hart sport

my waist

god knows where it went

that chit tasted like carbonated kids' cough syrup, in a way.

stuff i miss (most of this stuff is iowa-related):

-- hiland potato chips ("the chippiest chips around"...dunno if they were just an iowa thing or if they were distributed all over the midwest)

-- mustards restaurants (namely, the mustards that used to be over on 19th and forest in des moines. they used to serve up sugar biscuits along with the usual menu )

-- rosie the bookmobile

-- jolly rancher fire stix

-- hy-vee stores (when i moved here to mpls i thought ya'll would have one up here...but nope, i'd have to go towards the minnesota-iowa border to set foot in one)

-- pig ears (seriously! my mom used to buy packs of 'em all the time when i was a kid...haven't seen any since)

-- boxes of government cheese (again, haven't seen any since i was a kid)

I've trying to remember the jingle for it but I can't remember. I've lost sleep over it. Haha!!! Something about "There's always time for a chocodile" or something like that.

I never saw and ad for them, I just remember getting them by the dozen at the Hostess thrift shop, along with jelly-filled powdered donuts that they used to make as well.
