Couldn’t they at least have the decency to re-title it The Original Snoopy Exercise in Futility Machine? Or The Original Snoopy Elbow Grease and Frustration Factory? Or The Original Snoopy Frosty Child Labor Palace? Or The Original Snoopy Ha-Ha-Hope-You-Didn’t-Actually-Want-A-Snow-Cone Plastic House-Shaped Box of Disappointment? Or The Original Snoopy Summertime Fuck You Jamboree?
I mean, really. Show me an Original Snoopy Sno-cone Machine that has actually produced a snow cone, even once, and I’ll show you a beagle that can fly a goddamn plane.
Lay off the Original Snoopy Sno-cone Machine. What, are you trying to destroy the garage sale industry? It’s about the only thing keeping this country going right now.
But it’s Snoopy! And it tries so hard to be a snowcone! And you can pour sugary goodness out of Snoopy’s hat. I think our original is still at my parent’s house, otherwise I’d be ordering one right now. The Original Childhood Nostalgia Machine!
I have fond memories of owning, but not necessarily using, this toy. It’s like the summertime version of an EZ Bake Oven. Which reminds me that EISA is forever changing the face of incandescent cookery. The new EZ Bake Oven doesn’t use a lightbulb!
It works fine when you use cocaine.
Anybody remember Shrinky Dinks? Those were a lot of fun to make. But very hard to chew.
Todd, they still make Shrinky Dinks; Finnegans, downtown, has them. You can get blank sheets there, tons of fun for making mobiles and… keychains? I don’t know.
Oh goodness, I LOVED Shrinky Dinks. I didn’t know Finnegans had them. Now, to procreate, so I have an excuse to buy them…
Cool, thanks, C&B. I’ll have to send some to my niece and nephews. Why should I be the only one in the family with scarred fingers from hot baking pans?
@4 As do so many things.
