I vaguely remember being told I can't have one at some point, I remember because my mom got mad at the cashier and we left right before she was about to pay.<br /><br />7year old me "screw you mcdonalds!

I loved Barbies, Treasure Trolls, I had one of those cupcake dolls, and I had a jazzy jewelry kit, which allowed me to make my own hair barretts. But I always wanted a Creepy Crawlers toy. Not because I liked bugs, but the idea of making them was so appealing to me. I was so disappointed I never got it. :(Opanga-Tayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08461567030586783286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345383431077061384.post-70792499798102293992009-10-28T14:55:46.139-05:002009-10-28T14:55:46.139-05:00I remember the Cabbage Patch Happy Meal toys...wer...I remember the Cabbage Patch Happy Meal toys...were they accompanied by Hot Wheels, too, or were they on their own?Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648938739688419407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345383431077061384.post-75447873788353378942009-10-28T14:28:49.752-05:002009-10-28T14:28:49.752-05:00Excellent Point!!!

We had to say, "Barbie or Hot Wheels?" to know which toy to give. In response, most customers just told me the gender of their child:<br /><br />"Barbie or Hot Wheels?"<br />"It's for a girl."<br />"Hot Wheels it is!"
