Oh, I forgot to tell everyone what I got for Xmas... shame on me.
My dear loving sister got me something Ive always wanted....a GIANT PEZ DISPENSER!!!
WOO HOO!!!
She got me the Elmo one. Its like 12 inches tall and when you lean his head back, he sings the Sesame Street song.
Love it. BUt wouldnt you think that PEZ would make extra large pez candies for the xtra big PEZ dispensers? They dont and I think thats really odd.
So somehow, someway, Im supposed to put this half inch PEZ into the neck of Elmo even though Elmo is like 20 Times the size of a regular PEZ dispenser.
Isnt that odd? Maybe I should write to PEZ and ask them if they plan on doing something about it. Does any one have a mold for an XTRA BIG PeZ candy, because I need one. There's some money to be made for the person who can make the XTRA big PEZ candy that will fit into the XTRA big dispensers. I know Im not the only person in America with this problem. Why should I buy the regular size PEz for my xtra big dispenser? Thats like buying an xtra big car and putting the tires from your smaller car on them. It doesnt make any sense.
Ok, next.
Guess what else I got..just guess....guess.
I got..........a ......... POPPLE!!!
Yes, I nearly cried. The POPPPLES were OFF THE HOOK in the eighties. You could kick them, through them, whatever. Me and my sister would fight over Popples when I was a kid.WE were poor, but we hadPopples. Who needs money, and gifts, when you have a Popple. She even had a Popple sleeping bag. I never had one. Anyways, the Popples are back...HOORAY!! There was even a POPPLE TV Show. The POPPLES need to come back. they just have too. So I got a Popple and I sleep with it every night cuz I love it. HInt hint, they have them at Target. Who manufactures Poppples.. I think its Mattel right? Im pretty sure it is/was.
Anyways, so I got a Popple anda Xtra Large Pez Dispenser and im soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy. that with my Lego ice cubes, what more do i need? NOTHING!!!! My world is complete !!!
Update: I sent a letter to Mr. verrecchia and he hasnt responded yet. Its okay. I still love him and his company anyway. HASBRO has never sent me a mean, disappointing, discouraging letter. Now Mattel on the other hand.... well, thats a whole different blog.
Im still waiting to hear news regarding my census data regarding the US population and how that affects the toy economy. If anyone would like a copy of that, please let me know. Its a VERY Good report. Im an Economist, so the analysis is quite concise.

FUN GADGETS ONLINE
Im back everyone!!!
Last week I ordered some gadgets from a website referred to as PERPETUAL KID. I found it out because I was checking out Play dOH ON LINE (cuz i used to eat that stuff, and yes, I still do every now and then). So I was looking for Playdoh and then I found Play Doh cologne andI was like,"How cool". Then i was like,"what else does this site have?? This website sells uncommon gadgets, such as toast stamps and things your probably havent thought of. Things I have thought of, but things the common non-toy oriented person would not think of. This is why this blog exists, to make you aware of the world you are missing : the toy world.
So I ordered 4 really big pens ( for my co workers- it will be their Xmas gifts, yeah I know, Im kind of late. But who says you cant celebrate Xmas in March??), the I LOVE YOU and HOLY toast stamp, and 2 Cassette Bags.
i really wanted the Cassette bags. As a child of the 80's, I actually know what a cassette is. Ahh, memories. Am I the only one who had the "get in Shape girl" physical fitness announcements on tape? I still have it. Oh, and all of my bootleg Mariah Carey songs straight off of the radio.... I had a vision of love ....... After youd record it, youd rewind and pause it right where the song ended. And if the tape got caught up, youd put it between your lips because you thought your lips had the same power as an ironing board...certainly your lips would be able to straighten out that tape.
Ok, sorry for the tangent.. lets talk about my products:
The Cassete Bags: On the website, there is a girl holding it and the bag looks really big. Now I know that the girl was just really skinny. I got my bag and it was quite small, in width. I wish it was like 2x the size.
You know what? This bag is cool and I love it but you know how it could be made to be even cooler.
1) Make it from more studier material. Put a cut in the side of the bad, so that the "tape" can be dispensed, so the "tape" can be written on, like a note pad. Make it a secret cover. Then, make the bag from a sturdy plastic so that on the bag , I could write with a special eraseable pen " Going to the gym" where the Side A line is. ha,ha,ha, that would be so hot. I could put different messages on the "tape bag".
I love the bag but I can see it breaking real easily if Im not careful with it.
i wish it had an internal zipper on it.
The toast things: I havent tried them yet, but they look neat. I think the company needs to get bridal companies to put the I LOVE YOU toast stamp on their sites.Like websites like knot, wedding channel, etc. They would make great wedding gifts. Thats why I bought it, I bought one for my sister and the other one is for my future huband who is out there somewhere drooling over his cassette tapes as well.Ha,ha,ha.
The big pens: they are wrapped up, they are for co workers, they seem neat too.
So those are my latest purchases my friends.
