1. Britannia's Ginger-Nut cookies. TOtally delish. Why did they stop making them?

2. Cadbury's Temptations Orange Apricot. Yummmmmmm.

3. Glo-Toys. They came out in '82, three years before I was born. I had received a Glo-Spider on my fourth birthday. Without them I have practically no living proof of my childhood in the 80s! :(

4. I want a My Little Pony as well. I used to have the violet one called Blossom - I have NO idea where she is now. They were so pretty (and I love horses.)

5. Care Bears. I never had the toy, but I used to LOVE the movie (or was it a TV show?)

 

Here is a great link to the hottest toys of the 80s.

 

EDIT: OMG PONIES!!1! They still make them!!!

 

WANT.

EDIT EDIT:

I discovered this blog called Toybender, with a section called Custom Figure Corner. I found some of the most weird-ass customised toys I've ever seen.

 

 

Weird: My Little BatPony

(but not as weird as the My Little Stripper Demon Pony)

Weirder: Dune Lego

Since I was born 500 years ago, I remember the truly great toys, the ones that were dangerous and had to be taken off the market...Creepy Crawlers, anyone?

OMG, I had Blossom too!! Although, I didn't know her name, I'd recognize her anywhere. :-) I had a Glo-Worm and I later found out that my "Care Bear" was actually a generic that my mom made. :-) But I had two for reals Care Bear records, they were so cool!

This is So cool. I especially like the green Justice Leaguer..wonder why I never had any of these toys.

Welcome to the neighborhood!
