YES! I thought those were the best things ever. It was between that and my 1000+ sticker collection, most of them scratch-n-sniff.

I remember all of those! Do you remember Tom Hanks' TV show Bosom Buddies? I loved that show, even though I was only 3 or so when it came on.

And I had one of those batons. It was also the isht along with my stickers and charm necklace.

And who could forget "Downtown Julie Brown"??? She was awesome!
