    I’ll take most disappointing gift to unwrap for $1000 Alex.

    Next worse was a Lifesavers Candy Puzzle. The box was the size to plausibly hold 8-10 rolls of Lifesavers and covered in a glossy image of the candy. Such a let down.

    (I never got a game boy at the time and I’m a little bit salty about it, but now as a parent, I understand my parents’ choice not to).

      As someone who grew up in the early 80s, I would have been gitty for this. While I enjoyed video games, my heart was listening to music. I much rather have a portable radio than a game boy at that time.

      My parents got me a gameboy but the only games I had for it was Babe Pig in the City and a copy of Ducktales that was lost in the attic before they gave it to me and wasn’t found until last year.
