Everybody has something that they wanted for
Christmas when they were a kid
and never got..
Well.. unless you were a spoiled little bastard and got everything you wanted
Here's my toy that never was...
The infamous Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine
Circa 1983
I wanted it bad. But did I get it? - No
"You drop an ice cube in and get a snow cone out
yum yum fun is what its all about."
But I guess I'll never know if the
"yum yum fun" is really what it was all about...

Go to eBay and search for item #200049862242 and you can bid on one right now!
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to be a kid.
I never got one of those either. But I think it was more like 1980 for me.
ReplyDeleteI know there was lots of other stuff too.
Oh, I so got one of these and loved it! That would be a great gift to have again. Have you seen the new Easy Bake Ovens? Now they have a stovetop where you can melt icing/toppings.
ReplyDeleteOH, I remember this one.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Jen, my family didn't have money when I was a kid and I NEVER got everything that I wanted. Not that I wanted alot but my mom tried the best she could.
Maybe we should take up a collection and buy you those toys you always wanted but never got?
For me it was those darn Cabbage Patch kids - all the cool (read - RICH) kids got one. I got a knock-off that my aunt made...not nearly as cool then - but now - it's very cool to have something that must have taken her hours to make.
ReplyDeleteWell, there was that .357 mag like Dirty Harry that I always wanted, but I guess I had cruel parents.
ReplyDeleteA sno-cone machine?
ReplyDeleteDid you ever try to do one of those things? My kids wanted one and I picked one up at the store.
You drop in a few ice cubes, bust a serious hump turning a small crank, and after about 1/2 hour; you get 3 tablespoons of ice.
I have three kids and there is no way I was going to put an evening's worth of wrestling a plastic toy dog house for that. Thank God for the blender.
Snoopy = cool character
sno-cone machine = instrument of Hell
I got a snow-cone maker but around '72. And it wasn't snoopy. So while I did get a snow-cone machine, it wasn't a cool one like snoopy. Damn, even when I win, I lose.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted bell-bottoms. Thank HEAVENS mom never pulled through on THAT one..
ReplyDeleteI wanted one of those too Jen! Sooooo badly too and never got one, even though it was on my list EVERY year.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted Star Wars toys of any kind but never got any because I was a girl (damn sexist parents!). But I now have my revenge because I have a HUGE Star Wars collection! Bwahahahaha!
I wanted "Scrub-a-Dub Dolly" or was it "Rub-a-dub" I don't know. Either way, I never got it.
ReplyDeleteI wanted PXL 600 Cam-corder,too. YOU GOT IT, you bitch, I didn't. Not that I'm bitter. HAHA
You know what I DID get that I've always wanted, Jen? The Book of Mormon. Yes, I received it on Saturday...addressed to me... "Ms. Angelica Bobo". Thank you, Jen. I'll expect the Latter Day Saints to knock on my door any day now.
HAHAHAHA
I remember those. I believe I had a friend who got everything they wanted.
ReplyDeleteI probably got the easy bake oven and that was enough.
I am sure there is a picture somewhere of Dick with bell bottoms on!
a chopper
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, my brother had one of those and we loved it!!
ReplyDeleteI got a lite-bright and thought I'd died and gone to heaven...
I remember wanting roller-skates sooo bad, we eventually got some second hand ones, but it wasn't the same...
Mushy - It's just not the same
ReplyDeleteNobody - Yeah come to think of it
it was before 85 I changed it
Pixie- LUCKY! I never got the easy bake oven either.. This is the reason I can't cook. I blame my parents for never getting me the oven - I wanted one.. Damn Them!!
Dirty - I wanted a big wheel too
but we lived on this huge hill.. I think my parents were afraid I would kill myself..
Teri- I accept money orders & cash
Fantastagirl - Cabbage Patch kids...
remember when people would trample
each other in the stores for those things! I never wanted one
mixednut - maybe santa will bring you a nice 357 mag if you're good
stjarna - 3 tablespoons of ice
is better than no ice - I want one!!!! LOL
Dick Small - I bet anything you have bell bottoms on right now Dick..
don't ya...
Bloomin' Crazy - I had some
Star Wars toys.. my parents were not sexist.. just clueless
I wanted Luke & Han I got the Hammerhead dude and Bosk
BOSK for christ's sake!!
2 fools _ I haD RUB A BUD
BWAHAHAHAH
and the PXL 2000 will always be the greatest gift of all time
Lynda - He's wearing them now

Ritardo - Maybe Santa will bring you a chopper... well.. then again
You probably havent been good
have you? - doubt it
j.k.a - LOVED lite brite!!
A snow making machine in RI! What? Am I missing something here Jenster?
ReplyDeletehaha
You wubbed Snoopy.
I think I was probably pretty spoiled. I even got a Cabbage Patch Kid. I'm sure I wanted the Snoopy Sno-cone maker, but I know I didn't get it.
ReplyDeleteI do remember one year my parents got me a table easel for painting, and wrapped with it was a note that said "IOU paints and paper"... I never got the paints and paper.
Jen, I would totally love to get you that for Christmas. I had one as a child, and my darling, you would love it. Ebay it!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted the Castle of Greyskull. I am such a tomboy.
Ohh THAT'S right. THAT was the year I asked for a snoopy snow cone machine and instead I got marlboro's in my stocking. Sure, now it's all coming back clearly...
