Analogman Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I saw some the other day - Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, and some orange pop. There were loose bottles though, and they were not returnable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 That's the brand of caps I remember. We didn't have a gun that took the roll caps, so we'd take the rolls and beat on them with hammers and stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 There was also this alternative to the capgun: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 We also use to take knifes and pick at the caps until they flashed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 There was also this alternative to the capgun:Wow, I totally forgot about those. If I get laid off this year I'm going to sit on stoops, eat candy and play with caps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyjimmy Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Forgotten all about those cap grenades.Oddly, I don't recall ever chucking one at anyone. Smart $$ says I probably did tho... Speaking of cheap toys.. it reminds me of these I bet I bought a half dozen of the 'Gordo" ones as a kid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 That makes me think of Parachute Men. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 That makes me think of Parachute Men.My dentist had a box of those, always. Made going there somewhat bearable, knowing one of those was on the other end of the visit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 More cheap toys ... I remember having a series of these: I think at one point I had one that had a plastic propeller on the front that was hooked to a rubber band. You wound the propeller backwards to twist up the rubber band, then let it go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
