Subject: RE: BS: Things you grew up with, still around
The only toy I ever wanted that I didn't get was a Radio Flyer wagon--one of the really big ones you can haul your friends around in. I still swear I'm going to get one some day just for the Hell of it.

Do they still make the sleds with the metal runners? I've got my dad's Yankee Clipper--I can't use it here in Texas, but I nearly killed myself on it a few times when we lived in Colorado and could get good ice tracks on the hills in the winter.

My mother pines for Red Hot Dollars (which are actually fruit-flavored, go figure). They still make them but a lot of places don't carry them.

I almost forgot Necco wafers. You can't roof a gingerbread house without them!
