I once saved up my $5/week allowance to buy this $35 Optimus Prime that I still have, the only Transformer I didn't sell off. I wish I kept em all though. That was a good purchase, more than meets the eye.

Wow. I had a few of those. I don't think I ever would have remembered that if I hadn't seen a picture of them.

"mexican" jumping beans. they had them in a display case on the check out counter at walgreens. my mother is allergic to anything with fur so really it was the closest thing i had to pet as a child.

Oh I had some of those, I don't remember if they jumped or not. I didn't buy them so that doesn't count. I forget how they work, were there worms inside em?

They are a type of seed in which the egg of a small moth has been laid. It is the moth's larva which makes them "jump".

Oblivious · 11-29-2006, 03:40 PM

yeah they have some larvae inside or something. they were kinda hit or miss. like you'd get one box and they'd all be hopping for weeks and the next box you would get they might hop for a night and then never make another peep. i got into trouble a lot in grade school for bringing them to class with me. i was so scared to leave them alone at home thinking that they would be lonely or sad or miss me or something.

Dead · 11-29-2006, 03:41 PM

Oblivious · 11-29-2006, 03:43 PM
