In my day, it looked like this:

This is child's play in comparison to plain kool aid powder.

Plain kool aid powder was more sour than any candy you could buy at the store.

my dad drank the grape koolaid without sugar. then I got use to it

You'd think that bulk barn is awesome for the bulk food and candy, but the best part is they have this at the cash

It's hilarious that people thought these were gum

And yes, Saturday morning hockey wasn't complete without walking out of the rink with a handful of these

I don't know why they didn't just make a pack of Root Beer bottle caps. It was the flavour I wanted. I was just getting through the other flavours to get to the next root beer.

Thats because it was just dried up food colouring.....it didnt even have sugar.

If you are designing mandatory online "training" programs, and you have quizzes at the end of sections, don't make every correct answer d) all of the above.

HR is evil.

I've had this conversation a few times this past few months:

Remember when arenas had automated coin-op coffee machines?

The coffee was franking horrible, but it was better than nothing. It also made crappy tea and even crappier hot chocolate.

I'm going into arenas now where the snack shops are not operating.

I'd kill for some coin-op coffee vending machine coffee.

- Monkeypunk

YES!!! Me too.


Fun Dip:

Trying to get thru the Fun Dip powder without eating the stick first was always a challenge. The stick tasted amazing. I couldn't wait to finish all the powder lick by lick so I would always take a small bite of the stick. It wasn't long after that I would just say (frank) it and eat the whole stick and throw out the left over powder.

Wasn't there some powder stuff that turned into gum??? What am I thinking about???

What was the gum that squirts? It had some kind of liquid centre.

Also, candy for breakfast was kind of cool. Pop-Tarts probably took more years off my life than drugs

Glad the jays did not lock in matz for 4 years.
- Fakepartofme

Apparently the Jays offered him 3 years. Can't blame him for taking the 4th.

But I also don't know how good he'll be without Walker. He does an incredible job at bringing the best out of guys with something to prove.

What was the gum that cums? It had some kind of liquid centre.

Freshen-Up. "The gum that goes squirt!"

- Fakepartofme

It had a ton of sugar. The sugar that it contained was extremely sour though and needed to be offset with even more sweet sugar.

Pure syrup. 😂

I also remember glass bottles in pop machines. Fanta. And for the adults, cigarette machines. Thick layer of smoke along the ceiling in every rink lobby.

The big question is whether they’re ok going forward with Bunting and Kerfoot as their top two LWs. If not, some combo moves. They don’t need to rush and can even give Mik an audition.
- Canada Cup

Ya, right side and middle are virtual locks. The left side is a set of lawn chairs on a windy day.

Bunting
Kerfoot
Ritchie
Engvall
Clifford
Mikheyev

I think they'll have to do something when/before Mikheyev comes off the IR but I agree they could add a rental at the deadline which would mean moving a few of these pieces out the door.

Game day and I don’t even have to tape the game
