I just got my own worms on ebay, and had them shipped to me in Staten Island. They are the green ones, too! I paid less than $15.00 for them. I had the orange ones when I was a kid, and bought them in the same Kay-bee that the author of this article found his original worms.

I’m 30 years old and was born in 1976, I remember these worms very early in my childhood. I am from Revere,MA. Jesus, that must have been when I was about 7 years old or so. I remember I lost the worms eventually, but had the suitcase for the longest time. I just happened to be surfing and did a triple take as soon as I saw that little suitcase, lol. Good stuff.

Soulbrotha – I think the name of the game you might mean was “Atmosfear”

-I definately remember some sort of game that you played with a videotape, but neither my roommate or I can remember much about it, other than it was the coolest thing ever. this would prob be late 80′s…

Damn it Norbert, you invaded my first post!

I remember those worms and now I am jealous. Mom never let me have them because she thought they would ruin her new carpet.

I never had any worms, but I do remember the moment someone shed the holy light on what those things were called, right here in the blog.

Hmm, the first thing that came to mind for the more obscure toys was … ok lemme explain this, because it wasn’t really a toy. It’s just something like a family heirloom now. It’s one of those little tiny gumball machines that are about 3 inches high, and you open up the little flap on the front and tiny candy balls came out. I don’t even think they were gum. Well, anyhow, I had one of those and my dad drew a face and body on a peanut still in it’s shell. Yeah it was kinda like Mr. Peanut but way more crazy looking. He gave it to me and guess where I put him? Yes, inside the gumball machine. He fits right in there, and has been there for over 20 years. I have him in the desk drawer right beside me, and he’s still intact. But, as far as an actual toy, I’ll have to get back to you on that one. I must go to bed!

I’m glad you got your worms, Matt!
