O Captain, my Captain.

I'm Gen Z and I remember this

Ahh, the 21st Century. When a guy burned you a CD if he liked you

The sound of the click as you push open the magnets

..and you actually had a chance of winning something too

That looks cool.

I still use them

In the US, the average new car is $47K, average annual income $53K. We wouldn’t mind manually rolling down the windows in affordable vehicles.

I spent all of grade five in a portable. It was so cold in the winter. :(

ahaha still do this sometimes when I’m on bike rides

I know if you choose the one at the end sometimes an ace would shoot out of his sleeve. And if you choose the one with the castle the bats will move and the one with the robot some of the dials would move

I remember how these books smell

75 cents at the pizzeria. You had to run in quickly while the guy was busy or lie & say it was for your mom

They never rolled down all the way

ACK I HAVE SOME OF THESE IN MY BEDSIDE DRAWER

Most of the time they'd just smear whatever color they were all over the page.

In 4th grade these were the hottest thing ever. We all spent literally every single recess trading erasers with each other. The whole classroom would become an eraser marketplace operating on the barter system. Then winter break rolled around. When we all got back, suddenly no one was trading erasers anymore. Somehow the whole fad abruptly ended. AFAIK nobody decided this; it wasn't like we had a meeting over winter break and collectively decided "erasers are OUT next term." Somehow it just...happened. Point is, group psychology is fascinating.

Even worse, the ones on the pencils!

All they do is smudge it and make it worse.

These erasers are also still a thing

You can still get them

I can smell the picture.

Omg i have so many erasers, everything from cola, fries to tanks and pistole. Also some trains and more. Had them for so many years and forgot about them until i read this post😃

Still got em

lovehate these

I used to collect them as a kid and also scratch and sniff stickers.. lol

I'm glad im not the only one who remembered these not working

I can smell this picture.

Sadly, they still don't... or at least the ones I have.

But they smelled nice!

i use to bend and break these out of habit lol

You can smell this picture!

No, they did not work.

And the ones that smelled so good!

My dentist would give me those after the "appointment" for being a good person.

Because they are plastic, and just smear the writing!!

We used to trade these

I refuse to believe these were ever sold with the intention of actually erasing anything.

Or the bendy pencils from the book store that never worked lol

Charlie: I'll eat that whole eraser...and stickers too

They are still here, have a few ramen cup noodles ones, even the noodles inside are crappy erasers =:D

I have some of these, still.

Never obsolete

I used to play them and treat them as toys, instead used them as erasers, man time flies fast :(

I have a bunch of scented ones that don't work.

I could never resist biting into mine

Still a thing, apparently.
