Nope. They happen to be the same size and shape as a kid's throat. They were my favorite. Seriously, when I was ten my mom tossed the ones I played with when I was really little and I was crushed. I loved those things.

I loved them also and I had a little car that they fit in. LOL But if they are the size of children's throats then I can see why they aren't made any more.

Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you Here's a wish and prayer that every dream comes true And though it's always sweet sorrow to part I know you'll always remain in my heart Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true And now 'til we meet again Adios, au revior, auf weidersehen.....Good Night!

I was driving my husband's car today and he's got it tuned to some conservative talk radio blah blah and they played this song - and it's been stuck in my head all d*** day! Anybody know what it is?

Of course I despised the Lawrence Welk show as a kid. Now it shows up frequently on PBS, and I like it.

Remember 15min TV shows, and Pong?
