Holy cow, this was the Big Wheels bike that I had. I used to put rocks inside of it to make it sound like a "motorcycle". Man!

These are cool, too! They had a version of it in the Wendy's kids meal a month or so ago.
 
Anyone remember snorks?

What were the costumes kids dressed up as for halloween , they were plastic things that went on you head and then you painted you face, the ones I remember were purple and green. I think they might have been aliens.

LOL! I posted another thread with popular audio and video from the 70's early 80's - remember "Time for timer"? The little yellow guy with a top hat and cane that danced around singing about food and snacks? Well the video that this website shows is him singing about making popcicles with toothpicks! :rotfl: How did we survive without shoving toothpicks down our throats???!! LOL!
 
Man oh man - the spirograph brought memories back of a great birthday when my mom and dad took me to the store in my brand new Surfer shirt, skirt that had a slip that you actually blew up to get the right amount of poof (!) and white Go Go boots (SOOO proud of these!) and got to buy a new Etch a Sketch, an Easy Bake oven and a blue "English" bicycle (that made the clicking sound when you rode it) - best birthday ever! :rotfl:
