    Living my best life in 86 with a bowl of fruit loops and my brand new glow in the dark wacky wall walker. They do get tired fast. Even when you washed them.

      Unfortunately that adhesive could only last so long regardless of washing.

    Oh man! Thank you! I commented on the Wacky Wobbler on the cereal video and glad that you guys made a special video! Wow! I didn't know that it was being sold. For $2 I'll probably get one. I think I had the orange one when I was a kid.

    You know what I loved the most about this toy? It actually worked the way they advertised it...😂😂 Until of course you got it all covered in pet hair or it got covered in dirt from the carpet...But they cleaned up pretty decent in warm water.

      Every now and then, I let myself get a current box of one of my childhood favorites. Usually Apple Jacks, Fruity Pebbles, or Cocoa Puffs. The box is typically demolished in a day and a half. My thinking is, you can only put on so much weight in 48 hours 😂 LOVE the Cracker Jack idea!
