It had to either be x-ray glasses or sea monkeys.

    Stretch Armstrong ain’t junk!!! X-ray glasses are junk but don’t cancel the Fart Pillow order Duff ‘cos they are just too much fun.
    I passed on the x-ray glasses as a kid & went with the sea monkeys. Thinking back now I think I actually got a packet of freeze dried sperm.

      Lol! My ternate punchline was sea monkies.

    Darn. If he had ordered the X-ray glasses, he could have seen the voice behind the talking bush.

      Ooo, good point Court. LOL.

      Yep. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Those adds in the back of comic books for the glasses and boomerangs. I wanted “remote control” ghost so bad I could taste it. It was $1.99 but for a 10 year old, it might as well have been $40,000,000.

    Sure, everyone loves a stretch armstrong until he bursts and green slime solidifies on the carpet. It might be like “Gushers” for a hungry bear.

      Yeah they were always one pull away from being a gooey mess.

      I never had one as a kid. I’m still bitter.

    Oh my, PJ! Stretch Armstrong? Soon I’ll be like Duff as I head back over to eBay to bid on a Stretch guy! Those were lots of fun :O)

      You can still get them. The X-ray glasses, I’m not too sure though.

    What?! Don’t cancel that order! You can start a Justice League of your very own. Of course everyone will have the same special ability. :/

      I’d love to see Superman with those glasses on.

      1. Tony McGurk

        Then Clark Kent could see through walls too

          Not sure if he needs the glasses. If he wore them, what would be see?

        2. Tony McGurk

          My highly scientific mind is thinking that X-Ray vision eyes looking through X-Ray glasses would probably have a cancelling out effect & send him blind
