I guess the Internet has made such things obsolete, but they certainly sound amazing.<br /><br />Chocolate covered grasshoppers sounds more doable to me than the frog legs were. I'd do the fried cricket thing, too. Well, I say that. I bought a can of boiled peanuts 6 months ago because I was curious and still haven't mustered up the courage to eat them.Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-18153416008655591052014-12-12T13:12:12.621-06:002014-12-12T13:12:12.621-06:00I had one in a box, too, not quite a transistor ra...I had one in a box, too, not quite a transistor radio. I'm in Chicago and it would pick up a radio station from Fort Worth. Not every night, I would always try around 10-11 PM, but about once a week I was able to get the signal clear, it was a news station and I sure had fun trying to work through the static every night before bed.<br /><br />Adam: back on my grandmother's farm in Kentucky, it was frog legs and chocolate covered grasshoppers.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-36833698046660031732014-12-12T09:41:43.728-06:002014-12-12T09:41:43.728-06:00Awesome, Smurf!

It was one of the few times comic book ads told the truth. The thing picked up AM radio stations (remember AM radio stations?) without benefit of batteries. And at night when only powerful clear-air stations were broadcasting, you could even pick up stations from a hundred miles away.<br /><br />Strangest of all, my brother and I discovered that by speaking into the earphone we could actually transmit to each other over some five to ten feet. Definitely cool.Smurfswackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807173070389349098noreply@blogger.com
