I also collected wacky packs. I would put them all over my notebook and locker.
16 0z soda pop in glass bottles sold at a 7-112 in a cooler. Very tall bottle and needed a pop bottle opener to open..no twist offs.
from the ice cream man..they sold these ice treats that were in an upside down plastic cylander. They had a bum ball on the bottom..usually came in a twisy sherbet combo..needed a wooden spoon to eat. Good Humor aslo sold eclairs that had a chocl bar in the middle...mmmmmmm...

Guess what???? You can STILL buy Wacky Packs! They have them at Target, up front, near all the baseball/football/etc trading cards! I too collected these as a kid - at just 25 cents a package (yes, I know I'm really dating myself there!
) and I almost flipped when I first saw these several months ago. Now I've gotten my 3 kids, especially DD (7) into collecting them, Now they're $.99/pk. Still as much fun as I remember!
And Screwballs were *always* my favorite thing to buy from the ice cream man, That's what I always bought. Too bad (or is it?) the ice cream man doesn't really come into our development, I'm not sure why that is. (We see the ice cream trucks around, just not in our subdivision.) I believe those were probably .50 maybe? I'm sure if I ever saw the prices for what they charge today from the ice cream truck I'd have a heart attack!
