Funny Stuff Crap gifts you liked at the time, where are they now?

scho63 · 08-21-2018, 02:08 PM

Not sure why I thought of this now but the other day I was talking with a group of people my age and we started talking about all the silly gifts we have received in our lifetime.

Then we talked about how long did we use or play with the gift before it wore out its welcome.

My grandfather gave me, my brother and sister a Mr Peanut peanut butter maker one Christmas.

I think we used it for a month non-stop before it went into the basement, never to be see again! Used about 10 pounds of peanuts and ate most of the peanut butter before we all tired of it.

I had that. I played with mine for years though. I'd kind of re-discover it every few months.

Micronauts Racket tubes. "The transportation system of the Micronauts"

It looked really cool, and the commercial makes it look like a lot of fun but it took 15 minutes t set up, you pinched your skin in between the sections of tubes when joining them (painful injury) and the fan blower made so much noise you couldn't talk to your friend. Also, all it did was send a car with no guy in it around a loop. If you put the guy in the pod (car) it weighed too much to make it all the way around the circle. Bogus!

I just bought a Dracula by Mego repro doll - it's dope - got it at Target - they're already fetching $40 or so on Ebay. A little off OP topic, but heck..

Don't remember this??? Right in my age wheelhouse so not sure why I don't remember...

One of my buddies had this. I think it was played 4 times from Xmas, never again.

I used to love to play that at my cousin's house.

He didn't love to play it.

Would break this out every now and again, play it for like 10 minutes, get frustrated, and then back into the basement cellar it went.

Here's another game that was played just after receiving it and in the closet it went.
