    who was a 10 year old in the early 70's?

    anyone remember packs of stickers that came with a stick of gum, 5 stickers to a pack i think, that had cartoons of garish characters on ridiculous bikes and cars. i thought they were made by scanlons but that turned up nothing on any s/e.
    am i ringing a bell here with anyone?

      I was a fetus in the 60's.
      I used to get high on life but then I built up a tolerance.

          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                                  I was 10 in '75. I barely remember the stickers.

                                                  I'm still looking for the cards/stickers of girls/guys that came with a box of candy at the drive-ins in the seventies. For some reason, I keep thinking of SweetTart candy.

                                                                                      You got a box of these candies that looked exactly like a cig.. You even peeled the rolling paper wrapper off.

                                                                                      The best part was you got 1-2 "puffs" per smoke. It was just blowing powder sugar, but it sure seemed realistic.

We had to carve out our own retinal nerves, wait for sunlight to flash burn the stored electrons onto a rock. Iffin' you had a rock! Rocks was for rich people in them days!

                                                                                                      'Gum Cigarettes'???? If you had 'Gum Cigarettes' you was livin' high on the hog in them days! They didn't even invent 'GUM' back then, just 'GM'. You had to save up 500 'GM' boxtops just for one stick of 'GUM' and you had to boil it in water to have 'Gum Soup' and share it with the rest of the family.

                                                                                                      If you was good and ate all your Gum Soup yer ma would let you lick the bottom of the pot. Many a day we went to school with a smile on our faces and a pot stuck to our tongues cause you had to wait for it to dissolve or it'd rip your tongue out.

This moron mother was giving the clerk crap for selling them (like the $6 an hour kid had control over that). I asked her if she also lectured all the clerks at the grocery and quickmarts for having REAL cigarettes for sale. That shut her up. Like Candy/Gum cigarettes are going to make you smoke.

It's west on Hollywood Blvd. where it intersects with Vermont Ave.

                                                                                                                                                  It has the coolest toys and model kits. Also Hollywood Costumes and Toys near Mann's Chinese theatre. If you're an old fart like me you'll remember the old 'Aurora' Model kits like 'Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea' and 'Lost in Space' and those Universal Monster kits.

                                                                                                                                                  A ton of resin model kits too.
