I don't care what anybody says here, the '80s were the greatest time to be a kid and to grow up in that era. We had all back then, like seriously we did. Cereals with prizes in them, the cracker Jack boxes with prizes. Also you can't forget about the awesome music, the cartoons, the movies, the tv shows, the games and action figures and so much more. One of my favorite all times prizes to get out of the cereal boxes was the wacky crawl walkers, they were sticky they felt weird and they were cool how they came down on the walls too, after you threw them up there. it's so weird how time passed us all, very fast and very quick From 1980s to 1990s to 2022. Back then we were all young teenagers or young kids, and now look at us all adults now. Too bad we can't go back in time
