Oh man, that reminds me of a Pixie Stix story.
A few years ago we were over to my sisters place for vacation and went to one of the fun parks, with go karts and skee-ball and such. So here we ar playing these game and winning tickets. This was before babygirl so we had to find something to purchase with the tickets for ourselves at the end of the day.
We're looking around at the "prizes" they have to offer and we see the giant Pixie Stix. You know the ones that are three foot tall? We think to ourselves "Oh yeah, I remember those from when I was a kid"
So we get them and are walking out to the parking lot giggling like schoolkids. My brother-in-law decided not to get one, and we considered him a party pooper for not indulging in our childhood with us.
We snip off the ends and the three of us, my sister, my wife and myself all tip them back anticipating the greatness to which we remember.
Did you know those are pure sugar???
Well yeah, so did we. But we remembered them tasing a lot better.
My brother-in-law still reminds us of that incident to this day.
At least now everytime we go over there and win tickets, at least we have someone with us to use the tickets.
