12. Beanie Babies. This was about '97 at a McD's in Bedminster, NJ

The kid was maybe 3 years old and I was behind the parents in the waiting line. Parents had the toy, wrapped in its cellophane and the kid was bawling for the toy.

Parent: (Honest to dog) "No. we're putting it away for your school money."

I don't know how many McD gave away but I'm sure they were rare enough that it was worth the kid bawling in their ear for 15 minutes.

Where do you to, to cash 'em in?

Oh. By the way. This was in the McD in the Bedminster Hills shopping center. This is the same Bedminster where Anal Fistula has his golf course. At that time, the property was owned by John Delorean. (I used to see him in the King's supermarket from time to time.)
