“Dandy Candy,” a “Built-Rite Toy,” parades anthropomorphic junk food before its young audience. Pies, cakes, candy canes, gum drops, and other sugary citizens laugh and frolic before jagged pastel backgrounds.
I suppose the idea is to encourage children to up their sugar intake. I had no interest in sweets as a kid; my family, of course, was appalled, and warned me that I was endangering my health, but I wouldn’t get with the program. Grown to maturity, I still don’t see the point of this stuff. Maybe if I had this game to teach me, I would have learned my lesson. And maybe not.

Damn that’s a cute card! I don’t want to drink her, I want to date her!

I love her gloves and slippers. And the extra straw! She’s outgoing and generous!

She reminds me of the old movie house trailers advertising what can be had at the snack bar at intermission – back when there was such a thing as a double-feature.

They have double features at the drive-ins up here. I’ll see any movie(s) at the drive in! Next field trip, after Prague?
