Does anyone remember when Jack in the box changed it's name for about 3 months? It was called Montery Jacks.

How about when minimum wage was $ 3.35?

<< -You remember the garbage pail kids, and owned some >>



No I didn't. I always went to the convenience store with my mom after school. She bought lottery tickets, and I got a pack of Garbage Pail Kids and a Hostess Puddin Pie. Then I went home and watched Tranzor Z and Voltron.
