My wife just called to tell me this story...

She and our 5 year old son were dropping off our 3 year old girl at day care this morning when he saw one of his sister's classmates getting out of the car. The classmate clearly had a fresh hair cut. Still sitting in the car, our son yells out across the yard, "RINKTUMS!!" Nobody else knew what he was talking about, but my wife was cracking up.

After she called, I decided to Google "Rinktums" and this is what I found. I didn't think I would find anything and was about to give up reading through these comments when I got to C Fry's. My dad was born and raised in and around Houston and he passed the Rinktums/Venture Rinktums tradition on to me and obviously on to my kids. This was a bittersweet moment, however, as my dad passed away just 6 short months ago. :-(   Thanks for the memories, Dad.
