I can remember as a kid, someone in my class bought the super discount version of one of those French ticklers at some gas station. They had a big unwrapping-the-mystery reveal party on the playground at school. They opened the thing and it plopped out dry as a bone, with two rows of what almost looked like rubber serrated teeth glued to it with model airplane glue. They unrolled it and it tore instantly. LOL
Anybody who spent 50 cents on the 1982 model of super cheap-ass French Tickler probably wound up a daddy.
French Tickler was $0.75.
Call me cheap, but all I would spend would be $0.50 on the cheap one, unless she was paying.
