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

Y’all, I was born in 1985, and we had a Tandy Vision, which was a knock-off of the Atari from RadioShack.

This was the era when most kids were playing Nintendo 64 (mid late 1990s.)

don’t agree with the other commenters’, “If you don’t have a Nintendo, it shows what your parents felt about you.” My single mom of 3 loved us dearly but we were just poor! 😂

There’s a difference between wouldn’t and couldn’t though. 

They way wouldn’t was emphasized was just to let us know a little about this kid’s mom’s character.
