Wait, I just have to check

[motzie]

No Googling first. Does everyone know what Shrinky Dinks are? I just found out only one guy in my immediate cube area did, the other 5 were clueless.

[exploding people]

Yes. Yes I do.

[Muddled]

Yes, but I haven't seen one in decades.

[Muddled]

Motz, did you talk to your boss about an alternative work schedule?

[statlerwaldorf]

No.

[starrieskies]

YES!! I love shrinky dinks! You can still buy them at Michael's. I actually have magnets on my fridge that I made with shrinky dinks about 10 years ago. (yes, I know, I'm 5.) My mom bought them for me for Christmas.

Not yet. I'm waiting until after the July 4th holiday. I have to get pricing from daycare and figure out insurance first. We also have a big initiative going on next week so I want to get through that successfully.

[dixienormous]

Yes! Apparently you can make them yourself using (I think) #6 plastic take away containers.

[partiallysunny]

Yep.

Two words: Girl Scouts.

[Chirp]

Yep. I was never allowed to get them when I was a kid, but I remember them.

They're actually back. I've been seeing them in the toy aisles at Target for a few months now.

Me too! Are these still around??

[cuddlyevil]

I do, but I am old.

[captainmel]

I do! I just saw some a couple of Christmases ago at the store.

[malibu]

Yes! My grandma used to get them for me when I was a kid. It was a fun thing to do as a kid.

Why would dudes know what shrinky dinks are? Those were for girls.
