Remember when..... - Page 11

Loved the Snoopy snow cone maker and spirograph. The problem is, I've bought many of the these old school toys for my kids and they're so crappy now. They're not made the same way at all. What's happened to the American toy industry?

I begged for them for YEARS! They were so appealing in the back of my Little Archie comics! I never was allowed to get them. And you know, I heard through the grapevine that they were those little brine shrimp but I still wanted to see it for myself.

I Know that every time I came running in my moms room with a comic book page open she was cringing! Because of all the advertisements.

I wrote this company to please release the monkeys.

This is a disposable world we live in now. Nothing is built to last. Manufacturers and Industries can't make money off things that never break.

Remember these??

OMG and we were the cool peeps on the block with this contraption... Shake the fat away!! Yeh right!! I was 6yo, the damn belts reached my neck and head... I think my siblings may have tortured me on this thing at some point...
