Sticking my finger into the coin return of every pay phone, and if there was a dime, checking the date on it because silver coins were still floating around in circulation.
Same thing every time one of us got our hands on a quarter. If it was silver, we'd all fight over it.
I don't remember any of us ever cashing one in. If we found one, it would just go into a shoebox, ultimately getting lost to time.
do you remember being told the urban legends about evil drug dealers putting "needles of drugs" in the coin return slots so you'd poke yourself checking for coins and "get high" and then "be addicted" so you'd have to buy from them? lmao
same place the urban legends about people putting "drug needles" into candybars on Halloween to hand out came from, I figure
I do remember that. Didn't stop me.
I was told not to eat candy that was damaged. Not the package, but the actual candy. So if an M&M had a chipped shell, I wouldnt eat it because "it could be poisoned".
Sounds like a "don't threaten me with good time" type of deal.
I think that logic didn't scare as much so they switched to the "HIV needles on gas pump handles and in the Burger King ball pit" stories.
...the ball pit thing might have actually happened like once?
