Macdeo Lurjtux posted:At State College the local Taco Bells used to do 39 cent tacos every Sunday. My roommates and I would kick in to get ~20 of them every week. And judging by the lines every Sunday afternoon so did half the campus. I probably made more tacos in those few months than any normal human will make in a lifetime.

People would come in and order like 50 of the things for their entire office or whatever. $800 lunch ring and like 95% of it was goddamn quarter tacos. Taco Time the national chain??

holy poo poo, haven't thought about this game in at least 20 years. I think I still have it in a box somewhere. I vaguely remember this dude at It's Your Move convincing me to buy it in like 1993 and then I actually played it maybe 5 times over the next 10 years.

Micro machines were rad as hell. Even the non military ones were super detailed. Little hydraulic lifts in the mechanics, etc. I assume they were too big (lol) a choking hazard?

I still have one on my workbench. A little white Porsche 928. Thank god for them putting magnets on the bottom so it just sticks to a neodymium magnet I have on one of the legs of the bench. I think I also have the car carrier Semi somewhere filled with a bunch more

When I was a kid I had a subscription to nickelodeon magazine but i didn't even know it. Every time it came in the mail i thought it was a mistake. Didn't say anything though because i didn't want them to stop coming, call it superstition. I remember loving those issues so much. Anyway, I never even thought about all that till just now, and I realize since I didn't know any better I never thanked my grandma (whom I was living with at the time), so it makes sense why the magazines stopped coming after a year. I better call and thank her.

ugh speaking of 90s toys I had one as a kid that I loved that was like an orb covered in lights that would light up in different colors to do different games, like Simon says and some other basic poo poo. I loved it and I can’t find any sign it existed and don’t know what it was called

I remember seeing it and never gave it a go because well, the texture sounded disgusting. I don't drink boba either. I also never tried any of those Sobe drinks. Were they any good?

My wife and I were fans back in the day but we eventually came to think they were way too sweet—though never as awful as fruitopia was, ugh. I have more nostalgia for Snapple Elements Rain nowadays, specifically because it was milder.
