Today's college students probably don't realize that there was a time when you could get a prize that wasn't made out of paper in a box of Cracker Jacks.
I remember having a big collection of tiny snap-together plastic trinkets (and probably the little bars they came attached to, the word for which I have shamefully forgotten). Tiny tops, jacks, miniscule boxes, things like that. But of course they would all fit in that little choke testing tube now! In fact, they'd probably all fit in it together.
Ah, the days before THE BOX
