On Sunday, EK and I went to the Treasure Island Flea Market with our good friend Masashi and his friends. With family on my mind, I guess I was especially drawn to the old metal Tonka trucks. My brother, Marvin, would have full blown miniature construction sites in our backyard with a dozen or so Tonkas put to work on huge mounds of dirt. With my pops being an operating engineer of life-sized CATS, the permeation of these toys in our yard was inevitable.
I saw the otter pops later in the afternoon while weekly grocery shopping. I remember Strawberry Short Cook was my fav, based on looks alone for sure. (Although, I bet the lime guy probably tastes the best. I don't think I'll find out anytime soon as I'd now opt for a hippy version.) We probably snacked on these while playing in the dirt with Tonkas. But look, otters were cute even before we knew they held hands!
I was always a big Louie Bloo Raspberry fan, both the flavor and the character. The lime guy is super cute but I probably wouldn't like the fake lime flavor (I like some fake flavors, just not lime ones).
