Something also worth mentioning that was very important for me during my childhood was Trading Cards...It was basically Soccer cards,but was very popular here in the early/mid 90's.
I bought and traded tons of Star Wars cards in the late 70s/early 80s. I even got in trouble in the 5th grade because of them. I still have my complete sets from the OT. Stickers and all.
I also have a set of ALIEN cards. I was the only one who collected them, so unfortunately I didn't have any of my friends to trade with. I think it was because I was the only 13-year-old whose parents let them see ALIEN at the time.
And these Commandrons from Mc Donalds too, made by Tomy Japan..again, i posted these in the Vintage Toy Thread..pretty sure..
I loved those, along with the pudding pies (especially vanilla) and zingers!!!
We had a Dolly Madison Bakery outlet about 20min from the house we used to get all of that nutritional goodness!!! And of course, the Peanuts gang and those puzzles made it all worth while as well.
Too bad they were bought by Hostess. They just don't taste the same anymore, imo.
