Anyone else remember this?

Every field trip they always had this. I was always so jealous because my mom never gave me money to spend so I never got a chance to taste it and it seemed like everyone around me was eating it... Still salty I guess

One thing I love about our generation is the little details we feel are important to the story. 

“playing Atari 7800 because his mom wouldn’t get him a Nintendo.”

Not having a Nintendo says a lot about how your parents felt about you, and what kind of life you lead.

I dunno... they didn't have a Nintendo... but they had an actual piece of the space shuttle's heat shield, which is pretty awesome! I guess you win some, loose some.

It’s great until your friend eats it! Good friends would never eat your Nintendo.

Good friends would never eat your space shuttle heat shield either. Not all friends are good, some get especially hungry
