I’ll take most disappointing gift to unwrap for $1000 Alex.
Next worse was a Lifesavers Candy Puzzle. The box was the size to plausibly hold 8-10 rolls of Lifesavers and covered in a glossy image of the candy. Such a let down.
(I never got a game boy at the time and I’m a little bit salty about it, but now as a parent, I understand my parents’ choice not to).
My parents got me a gameboy but the only games I had for it was Babe Pig in the City and a copy of Ducktales that was lost in the attic before they gave it to me and wasn't found until last year.
Wow. My in laws used to find Xmas presents the following year (or 3) when my wife was a kid.
I think those "earbuds" are war crimes under the Geneva Convention.
That's true for all earbuds, as far as I'm concerned.
They are supposed to have soft foam.
Doesn't fit even more.
But they wre so low quality by then, that they are ruined
If radio wasn't absolute shit 'round here (nothing but commercials, Christian talk, and bad country), I would actually rock one of these if they became available again.
There's a radio station in Ohio called The Summit and it's only been around for a few years but they are locally owned. They play new music, local stuff, old singles most people have never heard and more. On saturdays they turn it over to older people for polkas, spanish music etc. On sundays they play Americana and a Canadian music history show
It's been a real game changer for our radio scene. I've discovered a bunch of good songs thanks to them, here's a link to listen if anyone is interested
Step 1: make a low power FM station Step 2: use this to listen Step 3: profit!
Forget FCC licenses! Let's do pirate radio.
Change those earbuds at some point.
It's from 1992 but it have CassetteFuturism Vibe.
