I had a sizable collection of California Raisin figures, multiple Noids and several M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. The ‘80s were collectibly terrible in so many ways.

I had a full-on Smurf collection that I was just telling a friend about.  I cut the conversation short and swiftly changed the discussion to monster trucks.

Smurfs were cool. Not as cool as Voltron, obviously, but still plenty OK in my book.

All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.

I remember the one time my parents bought me a chemistry set, and not being all that interested in chemistry, I proceeded to try and make napalm. It didn’t work, but I did burn some stuff( I did finally figure out how to make napalm—or something very close to it—but that was’t until I was 16). 
Do they even make chemistry sets any more? Giving kids vials full of potentially dangerous substances doesn’t seem all that smart.

That’s something I haven’t thought of in a long time, but you’re right. I’m sure in our litigious nanny-state form of society, such things are as unheard of as lawn darts and diving boards. We had chemistry sets for kids back then. All I remember doing with them was mixing everything together to see what would happen.
