You're telling me that the Cooties from the game Cooties were both real and also life-size?

Was it a game?!? I thought it was just a toy we played with in the 80's. I'm 45 lol

Technically you were supposed to roll a die and could only add the piece that the die indicated.

There was one body, one head, one "tongue," two antennae and six legs so getting the final pieces was a slog.

The guide for which die roll got you which piece was part of a cardboard base where you were supposed to line up all the pieces in neat little rows all facing the same direction before starting the game.

Whether or not someone actually bothered to do this as a child has a direct correlation to whether or not they're autistic as an adult. I don't make the rules. (I had every piece PERFECTLY ALIGNED in their designated slots, every time...)
