I have that one! I love Wacky Packages! My mom hated them!

One of my favorite memories as a kid involved wacky packages. My brother and I started collecting in about 79 or 80. We were hooked from the get go. One night we went with my mom to pick up Chinese food. As with comic books back then any different convenience store ment the possibility of something new or different. The order wasn't ready yet so we begged to go to the store across the street. It wasn't the best section town and the store was old and rundown, but she relented. When we got to the candy aisle there were wacky packages we had never seen! We thought they were some new series, but it turned out to be old, probably 74 or 75. She must have seen and somehow understood this was a big deal because she bought us a few packs each (you maybe got one pack on a usual store visit) I can still remember the excitement of opening those packs on the way home.
