Future vs. Prehistoric: Which Era Would You Actually Want To Live In? 🚀🦴
StrangeOne 6 months ago
I'm with the theory that The Flintstones was set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans rebuilt societies using primitive methods. However, there is the theory that the people were time travellers who got stuck in the Jurassic era.

Just A Box Of Pure Childhood
StrangeOne 6 months ago
The contents are too recent. Needs to be those stretchy, gloopy things that stuck to everything until got all covered in pet fur, hair and God knows what else. Finger puppet monsters, cheap, plastic rings that turned your fingers green, bouncy balls, parachute troopers, those fuzzy wormy things on a string, little yoyos that never really worked. Some Runts, Bottle Caps, sour ball gum, Gobbstoppers, Jawbreakers, Skittles, Warheads, Mike N' Ike, Hot Tamales, Jelly Beans, Reese Pieces, Rockets, Rascals, watermelon gumballs, Pucker ups, Cry Baby Tears, tiny Oh Baby Pacifiers, Bonz Bones, Fancy Fruit gumballs, Razzles.

Minute Maid Juice Bars

These WERE really good! They reminded me of the frozen orange juice popsicles my mom made when we were kids. She just poured OJ in to ice cube trays and added toothpicks - fancy 80's popsicles! 😁

Which Dragon Ball Saga Defined Your Childhood The Most?
Laserleader 6 months ago (edited)
DRAGONBALL Z. It was just starting the Cell saga when I met my husband-to-be as a teenager, and I bought him a cassette with the latest dubbing, and we got mad about the voice actor changeover for Vegeta.

BP is experimenting with its set-up again. Yesterday, none of the upvotes stuck, the number remained the same no matter how often you hit the arrow. Today, this. Last week, the left-side ads bar that blocked the voting choices.
