Quote from the article:<br />
&quot;The first clues that you’re in for something different are the instructions on the box. Those would be instructions for how to put on, and take off, a T-shirt. (“How to put shirt on: Pull on all the way to your underarm, then pull over your head.”) Men have celebrated the T-shirt for generations, from the brilliance of Brando to the hipster uniforms of <b>Threadless</b>, and now we’re being told that we’ve been doing it wrong? You almost have to admire the chutzpah.&quot;]]></description>

What do you think? Would this work? Would you buy it for your kid? Are the right vans on it? I tried to keep the vans kid friendly, so no horror movies and nothing too out there on the theme like the Top Gun van.<br />

I got my first Boink Toy at a Candy and Toy convention that my Mom took me to when I was really young. She worked for a candy company that was showing at the event.<br />

What other retro random toys do you remember growing up with?]]></description>
