This red tumble buggy

The Pizza Hut hand puppets

Or maybe the McDonald’s hand puppets

Have an aluminum screen door on my house currently, those things are tough as nails.

I still have an aluminum screen door on my house now. Pizzarias chips were the best, especially the pepperoni flavor. My daughter used my old Wikdlife Treasury cards for a report on turtles a few weeks ago. But the best memorygasm was the tumble buggy. I’d totally forgotten that toy!

Sub post of things you forgot about because you didn’t own them but they were at that friend/family members house you always went to.
