    Don't talk to me about the Mr. Frosty debacle.

    Or Magna Doodle-gate.


    I never got those shoes either. And I wanted them so badly. There were two other girls in my primary school class, and they both had them. AND one of them had a Mr. Frosty. AND the other one had a magna doodle.

    i wanted a mr frosty!!

    i think i got the shoes with the key in them but it wouldnt fit properly. *shrug*

    Yeah, the way she says "magic shoes?" is delightfully forced over-acting :)

    I wanted the shoes but I was particularly interested in the key. Think the ad was on in the late 80s, which is strange because I stopped being girlie in 1989 and started getting all rawk chick (well, as "rawk chick" as an 11-year-old could manage). Still wanted those shoes though...

    I'm laughing at some of you saying the ad makes you feel old - I bought those shoes for my daughters!! :(
    I know. One day I'll be 45 years of age and I'll hear all these 25-year-olds saying they feel old - I'm gonna have to do some major lip-biting :)

    If you're as old as the person you feel, then I'm nearly 42...

    Yeah, I've always preferred older fellas. My first kiss - I was five and he was seven (no tongues though...)

    How did we get from magic shoes to this...?!

    Those stupid shoes broke my 6 year old heart... I wanted plain slip ons (they looked grown-up!) but I got the ugly magic step sandal-type shoes because the ads promised that there was 'treasure' in the soles. I begged and begged my mother to let me use the key to get the 'treasure' and she eventually let me do it a few days before my first communion... we inserted the key and turned it, and all that happened was a little glittery plastic circle rotated in the sole! I was devastated- I'm not sure what I thought would happen, I think I believed the key would 'open' the sole and inside would be jewellery or something... talk about a disappointment! I had to wear the ugly things then :(

    At least I got LA Lights out of my communion money... they didn't disappoint me :)
