obscure things from my childhood that I miss

My neighbor bought these at Sam’s Club and they were so good. I think they were discontinued. I still see the cup versions sometimes but not these guys.

Baby’s first (and only) drawing tablet. My dad sold mine before we moved from Florida to Texas and apparently they were fairly rare!!!! I’m so pissed!!!! I remember that when I was learning how to use it I drew on it with yellow crayon. I still say “erase the whole picture” sometimes and no one ever knows what I mean. I would love to get my hands on one again.

I split Coke all over mine. F in the chat. Also tell me that isn’t the coolest fucking controller you’ve ever seen, I dare you.

I’m from the southern US and lived in Orlando at the time so my dad wanted me to do the Spanish part, but the French section had a cat so I always did that one. Fun Fact: It’s where I learned Frere Jacques.

They’d sell these for 25 cents each every Wednesday at my elementary school. The teacher would write down a list of what everyone wanted and at the end of the day someone would deliver the bag of lollipops and the teacher would distribute them. We never had the pink lemonade ones though, ours were cherry, green apple, watermelon, and grape.
Additionally, I had to stay after school a lot, since my dad didn’t get off of work until 5:30 (school ended at 3:30) and after school kinda sucked for me since no one really liked me (ended up being autistic whoops). The office lady would give us some of the extras and that always made me happy. I never see this kind anymore, only the flat ones with no chewy jolly ranchers in the middle.  
Unknown Windows 98 Program: So when I was a kid my dad and I would make these characters in this app? game? And then we’d print them out, laminate them, tape them to wooden popcicle sticks and write their names on the back of them. That computer is long dead and we lost the dolls themselves in the move, too.
Unknown Windows XP/Vista/7 Game Collection: My grandma had this game on her computer (don’t recall if it was an XP, Vista, or 7) that was a collection of a bunch of random games, but the only two I remember playing were Yahtzee and a game called Bump ‘Em (I think?). It was kinda like Sorry! but with cars(?) You could play as like, a fake Elvis, an alien, a cowgirl, and some others.

How was my Halloween? What Halloween? xD Fun Fact: in Peru, October 31 is, officially, "Creole Music Day", and unofficially but, sadly, way more popular, is also Halloween. As you can see, in my country we celebrate two completely different things the same day... but I'm sure you all know which one is the one prefered by the kids and, through them, by their parents xD Anyway, that day I was going to go to a custome party with my friends from my workplace, but certain events and my own laziness played into making me staying at home with my mother, uncle, aunt and cousin instead. So, my uncle only had to put some creole songs from youtube to start celebrating Creole Music day... the alcoholic beveragescame after that and we all had a fun night xD Since I had no party but still had a good night, I wanted to draw Slow and Ambrossia enjoying their own October 31 by hearing Creole Music, drinking some alcoholic drinks and enjoying each other's company as the couple they are :3 Anyway, this came this long because I'm busy as hell :V but still hope you like this! ^^ PD: They are hearing: "Estoy enamorada de mi país" from Eva Ayllon, a song where she tells why she loves her country so much xD (Lyrics in spanish)
