What do you think? Did you ever ride bikes with the card in the spokes like I did? Is Turbospoke awesome or dumb? Let me know in the comments below. Because I’m pretty sure my old Huffy BMX bike was sold at a garage sale 15 years ago for $10. I wanna sound like I’m riding a dirt bike, ALL THE TIME. Who KNOWS how many Babe Ruth cards I destroyed doing this. Or, the cards would eventually be ground into dust. Now, an old curmudgeon could say, “That’s a waste of money!” But for me, as a kid, I remember that the biggest pain in the ass was that the clothespins would snap off every 30 seconds, get jammed into my wheels and send me flying over the handlebars. It looked like this:Īnd now someone has taken that concept and made it…well, better. No wonder I was so skinny.Īnd one thing my friends and I did consistently was attached baseball cards to the backs of our bikes with clothespins to make dirt bike noises!!! Now, I KNOW I’m not the only one to do that. Did anyone else have this experience? Riding bikes was THE ISH back then. It was all my friends and I would do. When my friends would come over, they wouldn’t say, “Can Eric come out and play?” they’d say, “Can Eric come ride bikes?” Seriously. I didn’t own any real video game system until I was in my teens, so playing outside was literally just riding my bike around and around the neighborhood. When I was a kid, I used to ride my bike…a LOT. You know the drill – comment and I’ll pick someone to win.

I was prepared to hate these, but it’s a great idea and though not executed with premium ingredients, they’re still passable. There are little bits of peppermint candy in it that give a slight crunch and texture. The filling is firm but also has a melty but slightly grainy quality. It has a light cocoa note to it, but it’s barely discernible. The chocolate coating is oily but does have a melt-in-your-mouth quality because of all the tropical oils. The cup is a nice size, could be one bit or two small ones. The foil is clean red & white stripes and easy to identify if you were to put them in a candy dish. Ingredients: Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel, Coconut and/or Palm Oil), Cocoa (processed with alkali), Whey, Skim Milk, Corn Syrup, Soy Lecithin, Peppermint Oil, Modified Corn Starch, Vanillin, Salt and Red #40 I’m not sure what will happen to these if the FDA bans artificial trans fats, though the nutrition panel lists that a serving of 4 cups contains 65% of your RDA of saturated fat, it doesn’t actually show any trans fats (though if it’s less than. The ingredients include a lot of sugar and partially hydrogenated oils.

I happen to know a lot of undiscerning people, but I can’t think of any of them that would call anything “chocolaty” their favorite thing. They kind of lost me at the description on the ribbon on the front of the package: Your Two Favorites. Luckily at only $1.00 at the 99 Cent Only Store, the risk was low and possible rewards were high. I browsed their new Christmas offerings a few weeks ago and was actually excited by just the name of their R.M. Palmer candies (I can’t call their the vast majority of their products chocolate with any accuracy) but I do appreciate their packaging and design.
