To this day, sometimes instead of simply saying, "Thanks" like a normal person, I'll say "Thanks for the gumball Mickey". Then I feel like an idiot when I have to explain what the hell I'm talking about.
Those days are over because from now on instead of telling them, I'll just show them. Show them this Youtube video for gumball banks that is.
Here it is.
I used to say that too...and I had that thing.
ReplyDeleteWe had one too. Would you steal gumballs from yours by sticking your index finger up the gum shoot and pushing the disc to the side?
ReplyDeleteLike that commercial, I am also from the mid 70's. I totally remember seeing that as a kid... but I completely forgot that I remember it. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteMore embarrassing than that is when someone offers you a malted milk ball and you say “thanks for the charles nelson reilly.”
ReplyDeleteThat's it! I'm retiring from the human race. We used to make fun of that commercial when I was in high school! Getting old's not what it's cracked up to be!
ReplyDeleteI knew what you meant. Does that make us both old?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I wanted more than this was the Snoopy sno-cone machine.
