The Invisible String

This wasn't a favorite but it definitely brings back memories of being a kid.

Crayola Kids

         Crayons were basically candles without the wick... imagine how many of these babies sell per year.

Let's take a walk

                  Before the iPod Touch and Beats by Dre headphones, we had this... and we loved it. 

Grade School Goodie!!

"Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick, I'm sweeter and thicker that a Chick O Stick" - Greg Nice 

Green Clay

Who watched Davey and Goliath back in the day? Creator, Art Clokey also created Gumby. Notice the slanted head. That inspired the Gumby haircut in the 80's. Clokey was Hip Hop.

Faux or Fo' Real?

Seen this work twice back when we were teenagers... anyone else have any luck? Please, kiss and tell.

Atari Classic

Defender has the most amazing sound effects ever... It also was one of the harder games to play (Easy)

Tinted 80's

If you wore Hawaiian suits, Benetton polos or Gucci sneakers in the 80's... a visor like this topped your outfit perfectly.

Recordar esto?

 

Before the Backstreet Boys, N-Sync and even New Edition, there was Menudo! Wasn't the gum in these packs always stale

Nanu Nanu

"Mork calling Orsen, come in Orsen"...Hey, is that where Pharrell gets his Star Trak hand sign from?

Michael...

The Best Moon Walker on planet Earth... period! We miss you and your inexplicable lifestyle.

Feed Me!

You had to have the fresh lunchbox on the first day of school... or brown paper bag it... with oil stains.

Just Some Good Ol' Boys...

       TV in the 80's was really good, iconic. It's so disappointing when they try to do the year 2000 remakes. YeeeHawww!

Cassette's First Throne

  Before there was a Boombox, we had this, but I don't even think these were intended for your shoulder, blasting Sucker MC's, especially with that hard wire plug (Easy). 

The Arcade

          Atari was like the ipod, everybody had to have it. Pole Position was a definite favorite.

Tape??

2XL was the precursor of XBox and PlayStation. Well.. maybe not but, how cool were 8 Track tapes.

Simon says "Get the ____ Up!"

Forget Simon says, in this case, Simon said "We will build it bigger!" What a mind f#@k! They made this version so that you could play against someone, instead of having to wait your turn. Remember waiting?

Chewy

Who didn't love Star Wars? I mean, the characters were amazing ...Yoda, the StormTroopers, C3P0 and of course Chewbacca. Peep the price.

Welcome

Welcome to "Never Grow Up"...where we plan on zapping your memory censors. A lot of us never grew up in some acceptable way. Hopefully this blog will celebrate just that. You name it, toys, sneakers or any memorabilia that brings a 7 year old's "Wow" to your lips (pause), you'll be sure to see it here. Enjoy and remember, Never Grow Up! 

Hopefully in 30 years this will mean something to your newborn. We teamed up with Kidrobot to create this limited set of 3-inch figures, celebrating the 20th anniversary of our debut album 3 Feet High and Rising... simply Mase, Pos & Dave, wow.
