If your family had a cat when you were growing up, this was always a great "toy" to drag on the floor as you walk/run away for entertainment:
So Drew, how long were you mesmerized by it?

They have Sugar Babies, those colored sugar dots stuck to wax paper, pixie stix, those little wax bottles filled with gross tasting syrup, every kind of candy bar I've ever seen and my favorite, candy cigarettes (in a little cig box) that send a puff of powdered sugar (smoke) when you blow on them! After going there last summer, I couldn't think of any candy from my childhood that I hadn't seen that day! One crazy place to visit!
They had Razzles, Spree, Bottlecaps, Boston Baked Beans,
They also claim to have the world's largest soda selection - Bacon Flavored Soda, anyone?

I wonder if they have the "politically incorrect" version of "Sugar Babies"?
-
What about the "sugar momma", and for @Viking64, "sugar daddies"...?

The Sugar Babies are in a little bag/pouch and are little pebble-sized candies. One of my old time favorites!
They did have the Sugar Daddy (a big sucker) too! I don't remember any Sugar Momma. Seriously, any candy I'd ever even heard of in my lifetime, they had. Pretty incredible! A "Must-Visit" for anyone with a sweet tooth who's spending any time in the Twin Cities!

had 'em all, 'cept mumps.
Mrs H had one called Fifth Disease, too, when she was a kid. Apparently they'd run out of cool disease names. Must've been a New Yawk thing; I never heard of it growin' up in Baltimore (hon).

There are three things I won't part with. My Star Wars toys, Micronauts, and my Atari. You can't put a price on my childhood. Plus, if I ever have a traumatic brain injury and find myself with the intelligence of a 7 year old, I'll have something to play with.txcoastal1 wrote: »

Spent hours with this - I still remember that ozone/electric smell, and cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser...
But this is the one I always wanted:-)

I had that! You're right, I had forgotten all about that distinct smell. And if you didn't have the track snapped together perfectly level, it would either stop the car as if it hit a brick wall or derail it.

On the topic of old race track sets and stuff, here is a sale coming up.

Rode the wheels off one of these.

Can't find the pics of the big go cart me and my daughter built many years ago.
It was homemade and ugly....Ended up putting a Rupp 440 snowmobile engine on it which made driving it even more interesting.
No live axle on it and damn near would pull the front tires up.
GREAT memories just me and her tinkering on the dumb thing.

Loads of fun and skinned up knees and elbows too!!...A Rupp??...

I'll still stand by my statement. That movie was a pile of horse dooky. -
May have been a Kohler engine on a Rupp sled. Wish I could find the pictures of it.

I remember those, but I never had one. The closest I got was The Hindenburg. This was BEFORE I realized there was a connection with Led Zeppelin.Had one of these as a kid. They were popular around here being close to Goodyear HQ.
You couldn't make your own signs, but it came with those cool swastika decals.
