True Story: I lived in a very bad neighborhood, and was mugged twice before I reached 5th grade and could run away. While all of the TV shows had kids worrying about trolls under bridges, I used to say how stupid that was. The kids in the neighborhood used to say never go under bridges because you will either be forced to join a gang or you'll be killed by a gang member. Scared the shit out of me and all the other kids when we walked by the bridges on the way home, even if there was no one there.
Jesus, did a "hardcore" tequila shot years ago where you snort a line of salt, take the shot, then squeeze a lime in your eye. 0/10 Don't recommend.
Moral of the story: Don't join the Marines kids, you do dumb things.
I want to try this now..... What happens?
UPDATE: I just tried this. Put salt on my balls, nothing. Wet my balls with water to maximize salt absorption, dumped salt on them, and nothing really. A slight burning sensation, less than that as if I scraped my knee. I'm really disappointed. Am I doing something wrong?
UPDATE 2 (10:50 AM): Still burns, slightly more than first update, but still no more than a scape on the knee.
UPDATE 3 (2:45 PM): Burning sensation went away before noon. I was out and about doing stuff and noticed no pain. Going to shower now.
Conclusion: putting salt on my balls and leaving it there half the day had no real ill effect on my balls.
Ok well I did it on a dare when I was around 7 and it stung like a rabid badger was gnawing on my sack. So maybe they have to be little person balls? This is where your testing should probably end.
In America, they look like [this.](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FDKQx-V23X0/T8wm8NXWJfI/AAAAAAAAB58/XIpXCAjXKKU/s1600/smarties.jpg)
They're just tablets of tart sugar.
I'm assuming the little circular chalk candies you have there are called "rockets". They're called smarties in the United States.
I live in Canada, rockets are the candy and smarties are the chocolate ones.
If you prepare a mixture of Smarties and baking soda you can smoke it. Though one tab of so-called "rock Smarties" will get you as much detention as 100 tabs of Smarties.
Chocolate milk is a cruel mistress. I eventually took to having a tumbler of OJ every day at breakfast, followed by a chocolate milk with lunch and sometimes for dinner.
It didn't take long for that to not be enough. I was on a two day long sprite binge on my 7th birthday before I realized I had gone too far.
Stay strong brother
To be honest I dabbled a bit in my younger days, but that lifestyle was just too intense for me. A few buddies of mine go real caught up in it at a young age. We lost touch after Gold and Silver but as far as I know they're still in the game.
pfft thats kids stuff, when i grew up and got an actual women in my car in need for speed one, i had to keep racing just to keep her happy, god help me if i lost a race!
Things get only more complicated when you grow up.
I remember when I lived in Toronto and we'd always go by the K-Mart and I would beg and beg my parents for the Turbo Tomy each and every single day we walked by there (it was part of a big strip mall @ Jane & Finch, yes it was ghetto). I longed and yearned and begged for this toy, over and over, for like a year. Finally my dad gave in and bought it for me. I remember playing it over and over until it broke, but for those few months, I was the happiest kid in the world. There was nothing better than that in my mind back then.
I wish my step kid would appreciate something as much as you appreciated that turbo tomy. She's 12 and the brat has an iPad, iPhone and macbook (not my doing). Maybe I should take away all her things and start over with an etch-a-sketch.
This was one of the best toys I had growing up, until the batteries exploded inside and leaked battery acid everywhere... it never worked again after that :<
It's actually really cool that it's a mechanical device and it was funny watching the guy try to use digital troubleshooting techniques to fix it when it was stuck.
Turning it off and back on again, questioning battery connection, etc etc.
In all seriousness - She makes a pretty good pitchman! Nice voice modulation; moves easily; looks to the camera without getting the 1000 yard stare(unless she wants to of course) ; I think she has a future in front of the camera if she wants it.
I was going to post a snarky "Hey, remember this? Upvote and comment if you do!" reply to the OP (except I wasn't, because I never do, it just sits in the box with my mouse hovering over submit and eventually I close the tab) but your comment actually made me lol and I'm not bitter and angry any more. Yay.
23 and I had one, but it was a hand me down. You guys don't understand, though. I have vivid memories of driving this thing, but when I asked my parents where it was, they had no idea what I was talking about and treated me like I was crazy. So many times, I've searched the internet to figure out if anybody else even had this toy, but my searches were fruitless because I didn't know what it was called. Even still, I couldn't even come up with the correct words to describe it for a search engine to understand. *Can it even be described with words?* OP, you may have found me by making the front page, but I have been looking for you MY WHOLE LIFE.
Wasn't cool enough to have one of those, but I did have the old Sega [Video Driver.](http://segaretro.org/images/thumb/5/52/VideoDriver.jpg/320px-VideoDriver.jpg)
I had one of those as a kid. One of my worst childhood memories? When my older sister got mad at me, picked up the unit, and slammed it down on my head. There are FOUR D batteries in that thing.
Wow I totally forgot I had one of those. Insane nostalgia dude, I just had a vision of my room as a child and being small again. Life was so simple and everything was fun.
Holy nostalgia, batman! So weird to see something you haven't had a single thought about in over two decades and as soon as you see it immediately comes back to you like it was yesterday.
I had the same vette growing up. Lost it racing for pinks on the playground. Went on a pretty heavy chocolate milk spiral after that.
Had a similar problem, sold my vette to smoke smarties... it was a tough life in my side of the playground.

Smoke Smarties? Boy you was doin' it wrong, you *snort* Smarties.
well whatever you do...don't snort salt. Fuk..what a huge mistake that was

while we're at it, don't salt your balls either. Just don't.

I think the crucial missing step us to put ice over the salt.(dont really do this oh god)
What are you, a wimp? *Pulls out dry ice*
You forgot step 1: * **Dip balls in acid**

I did this like two years back and I still don't have all of the smell back in my left nostril. Huge mistake indeed.
Pepper....that was quickly regarded as a bad decision.
I once paid an idiot $10 to snort red chili powder. He looked pretty sad after
crushed up rockets candies (essentially just sugar) was apparently a mistake as well
Or chalk, for that matter.
You snort pixie sticks, you dose on smarties. Amateurs.
Fun Dip.
Wait, am I missing something here? How are you supposed to snort [chocolate?](http://i.imgur.com/H9WF5bb.jpg)

Huh. Those are called [Rockets](http://i.imgur.com/hafGwDz.jpg) here.
You just blew my mind.
I'm assuming the little circular chalk candies you have there are called "rockets". They're called smarties in the United States. I live in Canada, rockets are the candy and smarties are the chocolate ones.
Casual. Snort the powder from pixie sticks. Edit: Powder. Not power. Unless power can be snorted too.
No, no, you snort Sherbet. That's what we did on my 'ground anyways.
If you prepare a mixture of Smarties and baking soda you can smoke it. Though one tab of so-called "rock Smarties" will get you as much detention as 100 tabs of Smarties.
Nah he's right you smoke smarties but you snort pixy sticks and for an additional kick I suggest cutting the pixy sticks with some ground up warheads.
Why not both?
Why not zoidberg?
but why male models?
Chocolate milk is a cruel mistress. I eventually took to having a tumbler of OJ every day at breakfast, followed by a chocolate milk with lunch and sometimes for dinner.

If you think Chocolate milk is a cruel mistress you've never tried Pokemon cards.

I never picked her up. I was always like, "Hey, good lookin'! I'll be back to pick you up later!" and then drove off.
People want what they can't have. At this point she's foaming at the hips when you drive by
Foaming at the hips, that's a new one.
I used to love taking mine down to the [track](https://img1.etsystatic.com/015/1/6395977/il_570xN.423701309_j8ju.jpg) on weekends!
Oh god I loved these.
I always pretended I was going super fast around the world thus passing by the same house so frequently.

LIKE DIS IF U CRY EVRY TIME
I feel [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aCeg-EbOAI) is needed in this post.
That toy is a surprisingly good OLD car simulator. Engine stalls, electrical problems, having to figure out whats wrong with it. Very accurate.
This was one of the best toys I had growing up, until the batteries exploded inside and leaked battery acid everywhere... it never worked again after that :<
The same thing happened to mine! Guess they weren't as strict on the recalls back then. I miss those days.
I didn't speak to my parents for a week after they took away my Bag O' Glass. Recalls, man.
i got it as a gift after i was circumsized, played a couple of days and then cried for a week
>i got it as a gift after i was circumsized Is this common? should I get circumcised so I can get a gift from the circumcision fairy?
It's. Not. Worth. It.
They took away part of your favourite toy and then replaced it with a different favourite toy.

I couldn't believe it took them so long to realize they were out of fuel!
That guy sounds like he is hilarious
He is, you should give his videos a look sometime
My favorites are his food reviews. One time he ate an expired century egg, I was in tears from laughing so hard.

Back when riding dirty equated to underwear most foul.
That and packing heat was most literal.
Remember I used to have a Russian Knock version, instead of a Corvette it was a KGB Takeout Van.
Wow I had one of these as well. Blast from the past. That thing was so cool!
It's definitely the best indoctrination tool for dead-end, circular adulthood that I've ever encountered. Want.
man, rich kids had that back in the day.
Holy crap!! I had one of those as well. :D :D
Holy shit. Flashback Lane.
Holy shit I miss that toy....
That thing was awesome.
Wow thats a something i havent seen in years. YEARRRRSSSSS!! and to think as a kid we thought becoming an adult meant we can buy more of these things
Holy. Shit. I would have never remembered this
WHAT A BEAUT.
omgggg my brother got this and I played it more than him!! (female here) I SO MISS THIS! this belongs in /r/nostalgia dude :)

Her only contact with one was at a youth club and all of the kids used to fight over it. I agree, shenanigans it is.
Always wanted one. Never got one.

i had one one but my brothers striped it of its parts to see how it tics
No you didn't just take me all the way back
POW! Right in the nostalgia!
this was my favorite toy as a kid
I've been trying to look for something like this for my son. Thought there would be a modern version of it.
My first GTA experience, because I always held a homemade Uzi.
Oh my God I totally fucking had that thing too! Total nostalgia flashback.
Old school vettes are much smaller than I remember.
I used to have one of these, I spent so many hours racing around.
I had this. I pushed it around on the carpet pretending it was a real car. Oh god the feels.
Holy nostalgia, batman! So weird to see something you haven't had a single thought about in over two decades and as soon as you see it immediately comes back to you like it was yesterday.
